XBone or P$4?

Psh. You plebs can fight amongst yourselves while I'm shitting in tall cotton. http://knowyourmeme.com/...he-glorious-pc-gaming-master-race I was a Playstation guy before I saw the light and built my gaming PC. Simply put: I think the PS4 has better hardware and the XB1 has better software.

Awe, that's rad. My girlfriend hates video game. A next gen console would cost about 3/4 of a new gaming PC. There's so many free games!Planetside 2 - MMOFPSFantastic game. Totally 100% free. You can spend money to buy in game stuff if you want to. It's insanely huge. They can fit, like, 1000 people on a server all fighting against each other through 3 different factions. You earn certs to get new gear and there's a bunch of vehicles. And a jetpack!Warframe - MMOTPSKinda like Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. 4 man squads versus AI. Its kinda like Borderlands in that you find gear lying around on the ground in the game.Hawken - Mech Warrior Combat
War Thunder - WW2 dogfighting
D&D Neverwinter - MMORPGAnd those are just the ones that I'd recommend because I tried them and like them. No, no... each having their own dual monitors! Yeah, a console is great for your needs, you know, being a filthy casual and all Do you think your wife might not like transitioning from a controller to mouse and keyboard? That's something to consider... I really like Borderlands. Played it all the way through. I never played the second one, though I heard it was a good improvement.

There you have it. If you're just playing casually, then a console is right for you. So my good buddy has a plan. After he gets rich, he's going to start a video game testing company. Since he's already rich, it doesn't really have to be profitable. But he's going to hire all his good friends, pay them like 100k a year or whatever, and we're just going to sit around and play the latest video games and then write reviews of them and put them on the internet.Count me in. Yeah, I like playing through the game. Doing the missions n'stuff, the bosses were just ancillary.The one thing that I didn't really like, was that right after I started getting the energy weapons, I got to the vault and beat the game. I didn't really get that much time to spend using the energy weapons.

My little cousin brought his Xbox over to Grampa's for a holiday. He wanted to show me this awesome racing game. I think it was Forza.I'm a huge Gran Turismo fan so I was down.The racing was really lame because there was waaay too much auto-driving. Not just major braking assist, but steering assist too. Might as well just hold the gas button and watch.So I decided to turn all that shit off because I like to drive the cars. Then it got even sillier. They didn't really just turn the assisting off, but they added elements that made it totally non-realistic. The breaks didn't even really stop the car, and the road was turned into ice. We were even testing it by going fairly slow in a straight line and hitting the brakes hard and the car would just slide and slide and slide. He even admitted that it was pretty lame while it was happening.Does that sound like Forza or is the driving more simulator-ish?And I stopped playing Halo when I found out that my mother was having sex with all the teenagers in the fanbase.

I played that game for a while. Probably until Guild Wars 2 came out.I had over a million dollars from crafting and selling those blue and purple space ship parts.Can't remember the server, but I remember being the dirty rebel scum.

Its even free.I played for a while with a friend who had a low-end computer and couldn't run the stuff I usually play. Its actually a pretty good game. I found it a little boring sometimes though.You start off and get a guy, then you do some training, figure out what guild you want to join (you can be an explorer, or a trader, or a fighter), get yourself a boat, start sailing around and finding towns n'stuff.You can see who's selling what goods at what prices and then buy low and sell high between the various towns. It centers on Europe, but the map is huge and even has the carribean in it.http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/...obal_Map_in_English.pngI won't hotlink that map, its huge. I think I started off in Seville, in Southern Spain.I said it gets boring because, even though the time is sped up during it in game, sometime you have to sail pretty far and all you can really do is sit there and stare at the back of your boat. (although, I remember minimizing the game and surfing the web for a few minutes while I was traveling somewhere).All in all, its not really fantastic, but its cool and different and a good game. Its certainly worth a try for the price!

I read that as judging Microsoft, not the console. As a Playstation fanboy, I can still say that the XB1 has some awesome offers. My friend has one. Snapping the Internet onscreen while watching TV is actually pretty kickass. I think, during college, downloading Day 0 games on the Scour Exchange and playing them on a modded Playstation before we could walk to the store and buy one, oh and playing crazy Japanese games that they don't even sell in the US, kinda spoiled me as to what I feel like I'm entitled to.But, really, if you bought a CD and you couldn't listen to it in your friends car, dontcha think you'd be a little peeved about that?

Ahem:

I'm not trying to defend against Microsoft's stupidity. But the Digital Rights Management wasn't really something that was being advertised. People dug through the policy and discovered them.And Microsoft was trying to act like they put that stuff in there to make it better:

For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.

But the internet saw through the bullshit and called them on it. DRM is to protect the company's profits by limiting the ways people can enjoy games besides going out and buying them.

Or else what? They don't buy their goods. Its still just choosing the goods that best fit your needs.As a manufacturer, I want customers to tell me what they do and do not want. I'm on our complaint committee, I have guys calling me going: "Ya know, I really hate to complain but..." And I tell them: "No, please complain. I'm not aware that you're having a problem unless you tell me about it." Steam has never sold discs. DRM makes sense without physical data. Microsoft was going to spread the DRM onto the physical data, so to speak. But they were trying to act like they were implementing them to make the good better for us. That was a lie. Customers don't like being lied to. Its not the end that was the problem, it was the means.

Citizens are exercising their right to free speach? Say it isn't so!! FTFY People don't want to be ripped off and lied to... fuck them, right? People like to share discs on consoles. Microsoft tried to prevent that to make more money. It was a dick manuver. People called them out on it.And can't you still play Steam games in off-line mode?

Which is also available to the glorious PC master race... I've been really enjoying FF14. I've got black mage up to lvl 50 , and white mage up to ~40.Did you play FF11?In FF14, they've really taken back to the MMO basics (kind like FF11 was). Your job (class) has one role and the entire party relies on you doing it, and doing it well. Ya know, tank, healer, DPS. That does tend to those annoying elitists who can't be bothered to help a newb learn how to do their job, but we're not all like that so be patient.I remember when Guild Wars 2 came out, and it was sorta novel in that it didn't really matter what your class was, you could tank or heal or dps with any of them. That ended up making the game duller in the end. There really wasn't any reason to focus on one particular aspect of the game. You just did whatever you want.With FF14, you pick your role, and you have to focus on getting the job done. Granted, you can change your role (job) any time you want and do something else, but each job has a specific role that you will have to do.I would recommend you and your wife do a tank/healer combo. DPSers are a dime a dozen.I haven't been playing FF14 much, though, since 7 Days to Die came out. (its an awesome idea for a game, check it out)Let me know if you have any questions about FF14 or anything.

I have to know: Is your mother having as much sex with the fanbase as mine apparently is? I had hundreds of hours in Battlefield 3 and getting there in Battlefield 4, and I haven't played any of the single player campaign at all.For the ultimate sin, I bought Mass Effect 3 to play the multiplayer with some friends who already had it, and I haven't played any of the single player on that game either. I know, that's terrible. But we're out here.Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.
