I hope the PS4 has some sort of patch coming to fix some of the sharing features. Notably, the PS4 has a lot of issues when trying to upload the last 15 minutes of footage. A lot of times, maybe even the majority of the times, it won't save the 15 minutes prior to your pressing of the button (i.e. right after you do something awesome). Instead, it'll take a seemingly random previous 15 minutes and save that.. Which doesn't help a whole lot.
@Robboninja @unfreak-believ It's all relative. Yeah, it 'only' sold 24 million units, but it was Microsoft's first foray into the console market and it went toe-to-toe with the best selling video game console of all time. All things considered, that's pretty damn impressive. But I do agree that Halo was a massive part of why the 360 was successful as well.
I'm not sure why everyone shouts things like "their exclusives are the only reason people are buying the console". Save for a few instances (many of which are with previous Nintendo consoles), isn't that always the case? Why did people buy Game Boys? Because of Pokemon. Why did people buy Xboxes when the PS2 was already out, and for cheaper? Because of Halo. If there wasn't a solid selection of exclusives (or the promise of them) on the typical console, players would go to another. And if no console had a decent selection of exclusives, nobody would ever buy a game that wasn't on PC.
It seems I'm the only one who's having a blast playing this. I don't play much deathmatch and the like, but just messing around in Buzzards with friends, wreaking havoc on fellow players is ridiculous fun. As are some of the more absurd gametypes, like Top Fun, or playing pistol-only GTA races in SUVs. It's by no means a smooth game, but I don't let that ruin my fun. Bring on the heists!
EDIT: Wow, Jeff gave out a ridiculous amount of high scores. Looking at the list now, he gave..
Ocarina a 10, THPS 3 a 10, THPS 2 a 9.9, Tekken 3 a 9.9, Goldeneye a 9.8, Tekken Tag a 9.6, GoW a 9.6, GTA III, Vice City, and SA 9.6s, Castlevania: CotM a 9.6, Halo 3 a 9.5, Banjo-Kazooie a 9.5, Orange Box a 9.5, Unreal Tournament a 9.5, Burnout 3 a 9.5, and so on. Not knocking on these games or his ratings, just an observation.
