--it doesnt matter
--nintendo has officially assured the ninteod brand will still be around LONG after we are all dead
--before pogo
--it was only guaranteed for about 30-50 years

@ExoticCharm:
--pretty sure the game was developed on console
--and then 'ported' to PC
--as are most multi-plats these days
--not that i condone this sorta activity
--but it is the reality we live in these days
--games built on console specs(with crap PC ports)

@CallMeDuraSouka:
--you do know that
--once you download a game to your harddrive(the free games with PS+)
--it is permanently yours until you delete it
--so
--get a decent 2-3TB hardrive(or as large as you can afford~look at this sucker

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16822236970

--get PS+
--and download every free game each month
--i think the same goes for xb gold games also(the permanent part)
--and you can get a full year of xb gold for 40$

@phoenix1289: @nikolistary
--yea
--it has been pretty common knowledge for a while
--that there is pretty much ZERO interplay between players online

@CallMeDuraSouka:
--agh
--i wouldnt count on this one single game to reignite ALL the 'joys of your gaming youth' ha
--but
--i do have some advice...
--do not 'expect'
--it is my philosophy that "expectation is the best friend of disappointment"
--just
--let the game 'do its thing'
--ya know?
--give the game some time(like the time it requires~unjudged)
--and let it be itself

--this title is just the AAA season's opener(even a little early really~it was more supposed to be a early summer game)
--so
--i am 'still' PRETTY GOTDAM STOKED about
--mafia 3 and
--final fantasy 15
--and those top 2 are HUGE F'N games(there are lots of games this year)
--but even early next year
--you got shit like
--zelda
--scalebound
--mass effect

--also
--if you are just TOTALLY burned out(on similarity and familiarity)
--dude
--throw down a few(several) hundred bucks
--and give vr a shot

@snugglebear:
--haha
--yes
--depression can REALLY make even the best things suck
--especially the older i get

@Flyin3lvl:
--you can buy replacement thumbstick covers for a few dollars each for any controller
--you can get like 10 for 10$ on ebay from china(takes a few weeks shipping)
--or if you need em fast for about 10$ a set from the US(im not sure where you live but either way)
--just watch a youtube video on how to take apart and reassemble a controller(and just take your time)
--i recommend replacing them about every few months
--but
--ive gotten to the point where i prefer some Kontrolfreeks on my ps4 thumbsticks
--so ill replace the covers
--and then put some KF tips on
--and seriously
--ill 'set them' like I like em(on the thumbsticks)
--and then screw them into the original thumbstick knobs(with 2 screws each)
--because otherwise theyll spin
--and sometimes pop off

--and ill tell ya
--once i got used to the kontrol freek tips http://www.kontrolfreek.com/
--there was really no turning back

--ha
--there is NO WAY this game is gonna 'suck'
--i mean
--i never pre-order anything(unless i want the CEs)
--so
--either way
--but this is a BIGGIE...
--im more of a full AAA kinda guy myself
--and this game?
--it is very exciting imo
--a HELL OF A START to the beginning of 'that time of year' that the best AAAs start coming out
--but these days
--they just seem to pour down like rain

--SO MANY games these days
--nothing to complain about
--except i just dont have time to play all these damn games

@drizzygadget: @pharoe777@louixiii

--they are trying to keep the weekly xb1 sales numbers from looking so bad|
--3ds outsells xb1 each week
--ps4 blows xb1 sales outta the water each week by usually almost 3 times as many units sold
--and xb1's weekly numbers are starting to look more like wiiU's
--and get this
--they have been dropping the price of xb1 for MONTHS
--and they have been bundling xb1s with ALL KINDS OF great extras
--ALL just to get the dismal sales numbers they have
--ps4 and 3ds AND wiiU(wiiU now costs more than xb1) are all just their selling consoles normally(to get their numbers)

--i have a minor understanding of how products work and of how corporations handle failing brands(and a lil common sense)
--"Scorpio" is not real
--it is a very common technique used in business to help a failing product/brand
--if a product isnt selling
--even after you drop the price
--bundle it(and EVERYTHING)
--your last move is to make an attempt to make the brand seem like it has a bright future
--anyway you can(almost always using lies ha)
--scorpio isnt anything except a reason for people to believe xbox isnt a failing brand
--scorpio was invented to sell xb1s and the upcoming slim models

--heres some of the common sense part
--if xbox was making a 'brand new' power house console in a year
--why would they make a BUTT TON of BRAND NEW xb1slims only months before?
--ESPECIALLY since xb1 isnt even selling?
--the only thing that makes sense
--is that scorpio is there to make the xbox brand look like a viable product of the future
--and help boost xb1 sales(and the new xb1 slim)
--also
--think of this
--what games are they gonna sell to launch scorpio?
--there is NO WAY IN HELL any developer has developed a new game for a console that is 6x stronger than xb1
