Seems like a really flat and generic game to be honest. A bunch of neat features that everyone will get tired off by the 3rd month.

Interesting. You haven't played it, yet you comment on it like you have hours and hours of BETA playtime. So when the great reviews for the game start coming out, whatever will you do?

@WilliamRLBaker: I have a feeling the 360 version is going to be gimped, but who knows. It will be using dedicated servers and what not, but the framerate and graphics will probably suffer some from being on a last gen console. The BETA for the X1 is running at 792p/60fps. They will probably get that up to 900p/60fps for the final version. The 360 version will probably run under 720p, but will still be 60fps.

2nd best launch in console history at a $500 price tag = fail. I guess in a moron's eyes. Not to mention the X1 is still only in 13 regions, yet has shipped over 4 million units in 2 and half months. Just horrific numbers, LOL! I can't wait for March. There will be a lot of meltdown threads and blogs when Titanfall is garnering rave reviews and sells a ton.

Titanfall is going to be a beast game. Look for it to garner mid to high 9s and 10s across the board and be in multiple websites/gaming mags GOTY category. Yes the BETA is that good.

More butt hurt Sony blah. Article is from a Sony fanboy site named Dual Shockers, who got it from a NEOGAF Sony fanboy. Sounds legit, LOL!

I already left my PS4 impressions in here. Now for my XBOX ONE impressions.

First impressions for the XBOX ONE Day 1 Edition (Have messed around with it for about 24 hours now):

The good - The controller. Feels a lot like the XBOX360 controller, but improved. I'm confused as to why some are complaining about the controller. It has improved in every way and kept the good from the old. The play and charge kits are great too. Nice long cable. The Dashboard is easy to get around and has been very quick/seamless. The ease of using Kinect. I thought this would take some time. It did not. In less than 5 minutes of practice, I was already moving from page to page, app to app with Kinect voice. No problems what so ever. The update took about 5 to 10 minutes to download and update, while the setup took around another 10 minutes, so about 20 minutes overall. Not sure if I just have a fast connection or what, but downloading apps/games for this system is very fast (I believe my best DL is around 15MB, best UL is around 3 to 4MB. These numbers are via Speedtest). The games I have played so far look great and play great. The apps work well. There has been no crash back to the dashboard, ala what I have experienced with the PS4. It keeps you notified of your downloads, achievements you earn, etc. very well. The console itself looks very nice. Black, sleek and overall it feels like it was put together right. Should look great in any entertainment center. Did I mention it is EXTREMELY quiet? No hardware issues so far. You can play games, apps, etc. all while you are downloading content. The SNAP feature is pretty amazing. I have already used it a few times Skyping with family, while I was watching a movie or playing a game.

The bad - You still cannot download multiple things at the same time. Yes you can que them up until the other item is downloaded, but you have to wait. No external HDD support yet. You can't change out your internal HDD either. It has no option to see how much you have on the HDD or maybe I just can't find it. Why did MS put their USB ports on the side and back of the console? Another thing I may be missing, but where is the eject option for hard copy movies and games?

Overall, my first impressions of this console are very good. Much more impressed with this system than with what I have got so far from the PS4 and Wii U. It just seems more futuristic (I guess that is a good word for the XBOX ONE) compared to the PS4 and Wii U. I didn't think it would feel natural to use voice for everything when zipping around the apps and dashboard, but it very much does. Those refusing to use Kinect or buy the XBOX ONE due to Kinect, are missing out on some top level stuff. Again, the ease of using Kinect is just that. Easy. And it works very well. I'm sure I'll find a few more issues with the system as I go along. After all, for the PS4 and the XBOX ONE, this is a growing pains period. So far though, the XBOX ONE has really impressed me out the gate.

A racing game is a racing game.

Who gives a shit?

Hell, I'll take Mario Kart over both.

Agreed on that. Hell NFS Rivals is head and shoulders better than both F5 and G6 IMO.

They are both in the 8s. MC rounds it up to what ever is closest though. So Forza5 overall is like 8.045 or so and GT6 is like 8.056. Such a huge difference, LOL! Also it isn't like GS was the only review site to give F5 a superb or better score so no they weren't paid off by MS. Either way, according to GS, F5 > G6. TCHBO.
