Remember when brands were trying to squeeze money out of game publishers, then Gran Turismo made them realize that they should help get their cars in to games because it was better marketing than they could create on their own?

It's also a dumb thing to say on the face of it. As an officer he should know that the law inherently recognizes that there are different classes and scales of theft ranging from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies. That he didn't try to hide this would also argue for an innocent frame of mind (ignorance of the…

ROE are much more restrictive when a blonde white girl is downrange.

Are you sure that the Border Collie she wants isn't the American Girl toy one that is Saige's pet? Just sayin'

I don't care much for Yas Marina, but let me play Devil's advocate for a moment. If next season is anything like this one was, I'm happy to have Abu Dhabi at the very end of the season when I fully expect the championship to have already been long settled. I really like Interlagos, so I'd like to see it moved up…

Yeah, we got it. You don't like how they finished it. On the other hand, they're hardly noticeable at all when you CLOSE THE DOOR.

If he's cheating then why did he consistently do so much better than Webber?

Even in the worst example, it's still a lot quicker than driving to a store, buying the game, driving home, and installing it from disc. That said, Microsoft should really optimize their games for quicker play to be competitive.

But they already have a mechanism for selling cars: DLC car packs, which actually function as value-added and are something they can tout about the game. I'm not sure how much this news is going to deter serious console racing fans, but it will certainly get bad enough word-of-mouth to affect sales to other gamers. …

Of course, how would they know that since the only maps they've ever released as DLC were ovals which aren't going to be very popular with Forza fans or representative of what they are likely to race. If they had made a Monza/Zandvoort/Monaco pack that did poorly, then I'd take their prognostications about map sales…

Forza has always had all of the cars available to use outside of career mode. According to this, free-play mode no longer works that way.

The lack of tedious grind in Forza and immediate access to EVERYTHING in free-play modes was always one of the things I preferred about it versus GT. GT, for all its strengths does tend to make advancement feel like work rather than play. Forza did not need to go down this path. Why did they mess with things that…

500 GB should be plenty for each console. I don't need to have copies of every game I own, only those I play regularly. I can always re-download. It's a model that has worked well with Stream for the past decade - my gaming PC SSD is only 100 GB - so I'm not worried about space issues with this gen of consoles.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Even though I would be fine using an Xbone sans drive, I'd be pissed that MS sold me a broke-ass console. If I paid for it, it better work and MS ought to be snipping that problem in the bud before it turns into a real thing. Honestly, given the RROD fiasco, I'm surprised they let any problems…

Forza has always had that on stick too, so I'm not sure why this point was made. Is there any game that doesn't give you right stick control of view?

You only have one of them? You poor thing.

I'm saying one doesn't work at all and one does everything I'd want from it. Not that I buy/rent physical media anymore (Blu-Ray, the 8-track tape of 2005!), but at least an Xbone with a bad drive can connect to the internet, download movies, games, music, and do its TV pass-through nonsense, etc. All the busted PS4…

They usually do win the reviews for people with TinyHands. MS has long catered to the adult male hand.

I don't have either console yet, but I'd have to say that the blue light of death is much worse than a busted optical drive. The blue light is a dead PS4, the dead drive just means you can load a disc. One of the things I'm looking forward to most in this generation is never having to go into another retail store…

Angry birds is the other problem. I paid $.99 a few years ago and they've kept releasing free new levels ever since. How am I ever going to give them money for all of the other Angry birds games if they won't let me finish the first one?
