@Moonco: In December 2005 you could get a 20gb 360 for £279.99. By Sep 2008 you could get a 20gb model for £129.99 a price drop of £150 in around 3yrs
In 2013 XB1 went for around £429.99 around 3 years later you can get an XB1 for around £249.99 a drop of around £180 Seems to me to be in line with price drops last gen. But you know.... if it makes you feel better about your purchase to believe that is nothing more than desperate measures. Then by all means go ahead.
Been away from this site for almost a year. I got seriously fed up with the way in which the gamspot staff did nothing for 2 years but hate on the XB1. Every article no matter what had to have a dig in it somewhere. After both current gen consoles had been out for a year. GS did a year later review on the systems. The XB1 review was terrible the author obviously did not spend any time with it. So much of what the author complained about was the UI, which had changed considerably in that year through monthly updates. Yet all the UI stuff he complained about no longer existed. Proving to me that the author hadn't even looked to see what changes had been made in that year. To me that was the last straw and have been visiting IGN instead. I do miss some of the articles that GS would do such as the science of gaming etc. Does this site still constantly bash the XB1. I expect the comment sections to still be filled with idiot platform fanboys, but I would hope at least that the staff here have grown up a bit. I hope they have gotten back to some interesting gaming journalism, as they used to do. My hopes do not run high and totally expect immature attempts at humour from the community. But if there is anyone out there that can enlighten me in an adult manner as to whether this site is worth returning to I would gladly appreciate a response.
@Soltan: I know most of the games I want to play I am still waiting for! Almost all of them so far have been XBLA games, of which only very few am I at all interested in. At least Dark Souls is coming. But I bet we wont see it until Dark Souls 3 is released. Which as far as I am concerned is a bit pointless as Ill want to play that. Now would be a great time to release so I can play whilst I wait for 3.
@Tangsta03 I mostly play as myself, but sometimes I will play a female character. Its not about sexual arousal, its just that I find the female form just more aesthetically pleasing. Its not complicated its just as simple as that.
@aliafterhour no i wouldnt call you shady if you stole food to survive, but you dont need games to survive. yes games are expensive, but i bet you wouldnt go into a shop and just steal what ever you wanted just because your poor.
@justerthought I thought that myself. Its an Ironic take on our western fast food, celebrity obsessed, consumer culture. I don't think that there is any right wing propaganda in there. In fact in several places they have a go at that as well.
I thought that traffic density was supposed to be higher but it looks the same or even lower, but then its probably to do with the time of day. Perhaps when its rush hour it will be more noticeable.
@xolivierx @esqueejy Whilst Trevor was fun, I found him a bit over the top. Michael was my fav and would love to have him be the only protagonist in the game. Franklin was just boring. I guess we are all going to have our favourites though.
Although this wasn't a flawless game, when comparing to other games that have come out over the last year it is a master piece of a game. Cant wait to get back into the next gen version.
