It was such a nice surprise when I saw Symphony of the Night in my "ready to install" list. Keep them coming.

Yet they remain absolutely terrified about the concept of cross play to the PC - simply because we have better systems, input, and in general, intellect.

MS was the 1st to try this, and the results were catastrophic. The console users *this was duing 360, got so stomped by the PC players they literally wrote it off, for the title, and for all games.

Upon windows 10 arrival, they've made the claim "they will allow cross-platform to the xbox1, but I'll believe it when I see it.

@dlaney34: actually.. no, sony did it first, in 2002, and it worked out splendidly with no advantage to pc...

The issue was and still is msft's policies..

@Mirimon78: No, they didn't. That's why you didn't post a link.

@dlaney34: link??? Oh... i get it, you wouldn't know because you were too young for that time... you must be what 10 or 11 right now??

Go read it yourself you lazy infant.

You can google a wiki page all you want, like anybody else, if you can't believe that final fantasy 11, which launched initially on pc in jp, then pc global, then ps2 globally (which also had network adaptors, hdd, mouse/kb support..) and from that moment on ps and pc would play together. The game even lasted until ps3, and years later the xbox 360 finally got a version it could play. Guess what happened then? Ps2, ps3, pc and xb360 all played the same game on the same servers, in the same raid groups and all....

It was just the beginning, more games followed that would do such, but generally it was a sony title. If the game was multiplat to include xbox then under msft policies and legal contract those games had to be ran on separate networks.

No go on, run off and google ff11, though I must warn you, it will pop most of your fanboy bubbles to find out yyet again that msft wasn't the innovator in anything....

Fyi, a link prooves nothing itself, simply linking something does not make a thing more or less valid and only serves to make you dumber on the subject for accepting what ever is linked without your own research.

Cross console gaming would be awesome. If you prefer a PS4, fine. If you prefer a XBOX1, fine. It doesn't matter, the name of the game is 'gaming'. This is what countless players wanted for a very long time .... notice I didn't mention Nintendo in cross console gaming. -_-

Wow, we might actually be getting a tiny bit of world peace in the form of cross-platform multi. Almost brings a tear to my eye, but then I remember Trump is a thing. We're all still f***ed in the long run :P

@Pawfalcon: Just because the republicans non-establishment leftovers are all racist, does not magically allow him to overtake America's democratic majority. He'll be destroyed in the general, even by Clinton.

@hystavito: If Drumpf (his real name), WAS elected, the ENTIRE world would be affected, because, we'd be at war with the entire world.

Good news is, he'll never be elected.
