I'm cool with it. Both Battlefronts were so much fun that I have no issues whatsoever with the same content being recycled, albeit with advanced gameplay, graphics, and mechanics. I have no doubt DICE will make the game awesome.

 

 

Republic Commando, meh... I never understood the massive amounts of love for the game. I mean it wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't anything unique, either. It held my attention for all of about 15 minutes.

Battlefront 2 actualy a had a lot of new content aside from Battlefront 1. Everything having to do with Mustafar for one, the Hero/Villain battles on Mos Eisley, the Hunt mode, the space battles, etc. etc. 

 

Best squad based AI and gameplay I've ever seen to date, an unseen side of the SW Universe that has never and never since been explored to the same extent, awesome visuals, it made you really feel connected to your squad (I'm not gonna lie, I almost cried when Sev died at the end), and the real feel of being a clone-- really a second class human bred solely for warfare, like droids. The Commandos were different in that they were given more free will and were allowed to bond with the squad, but as you see at the end, it really just sets itself up for horror.

Republic Commando was a pretty fantastic game. I can't go back and play it now because it's outdated, but force_echo is pretty spot on with his review.

Man, I was just thinking about all the shit the Xbox One is getting over the whole "used game, can't sell back games" stuff that's going on while browsing Steam. I've got 10 games on there that I paid for, that I can't sell back or trade at all. And I don't give a *vulgarity*.

[Guest Darxeth]

Having to be connected to the Internet to play games is the main problem I have with it.

The games on Steam are in general cheaper than the ones sold in stores for Xbox, so if you get a game you don't like on Steam it's not as big of a hit. Although, it's not like you get much for selling back games anyway. I could get more money selling used games to my friends. That's the bigger problem. You can't share your games like you used to. Friends can't borrow games. Hell, I don't think you could even bring your games over to a friends house to play short of bringing over your whole console.

 

But like Darxeth said, having to be connected to the Internet is a bigger concern for me. My PS3 isn't even in a location that has access to our internet router, so I would be screwed completely.

Fair enough. My brother and sister certainly had fun with it, but it just didn't appeal to me personally even though objectively I realized that it was a great game. To each his own.

[Guest force_echo]

So I watched Arkham Origin's E3, and he definitely has the hook.

[Guest Shockwave]

Reggie had this to say, "The best way for console makers to deal with the used games market is to ensure their games are so good that people don't want to trade them in."

[Guest Sincere Poet]

So since it comes out tomorrow, is anyone even remotely excited for the release of the Last of Us?

[The Void]

Definitely NOT getting the Xbox One. PC+PS4 combo for me.

[Guest Ruinus]

I guess everyone missed the whole "you can designate 10 friends to have your games" on the Xbox One. Hell, you could conceivable get together with 10 friends and work out a rotation of "I'll buy this game, you buy that game, we all list each other on the 10-family list and now we've all got the game."

And yeah, you can play the games at the same time.

And I mentioned that Xbox One should start to lower the prices of old games so that it isn't as big a deal as all the console babies are making it out to be on the Internet. When Halo 5 comes out, reduce the price of Halo 4 to $20.

 

EDIT: Heh, I used the term console babies, maybe I am turning into a PC snob. :|

GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE

GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE

 

PS3 can't play PS1 game.

 

I can turn on my computer and play a 1993 game while surfing the Internet at the same time.

 

 

:V

 

Ok that's enough of that, the point is that the Xbox One does have the ability to share games with your friends (10 of them, as mentioned in that family system thing), so if you do it smartly then you could conceivably have more games than you would because 10 people are buying games and giving you co-ownership to them.

[Guest silversurfer092]

I need a link to this 10 person thing. I NEED PROOF.

[Guest Kate Awesome Is Awesome]

I need a link to this 10 person thing. I NEED PROOF.

Any press release for the Xbox, they said this at the pre E3 annoucement

 

Anyways if you must have a link...

still this is a silly and cumbersome "solution" that shouldn't even exist

[Guest force_echo]

Also, I think they're giving control to the used games market to the publishers, instead of destroying it completely like everyone on the internet thinks.

 

The PC master race is indeed superior, too bad it's an exclusive club that takes 1000 dollars or more to get in, which is known for pirating so that a lot of games don't release on it.

[Guest silversurfer092]

That is all Microsoft is doing. That's why I said I understand their motives. The game industry is kind of falling due to used game sales, so Microsoft is giving more power to the publisher. They even said it's up to the publisher to make it difficult to sell/lend games out, not the actual Xbox.

Well...I kinda agree on the pirating on PC. But I disagree 100% on you having to pay $1000 to get into PC. I never ever once paid $1000 for a PC build...The highest I go is $900. 

[Guest Darxeth]

I don't care about the used game deal, I don't buy used games anyway.

[The Void]

I don't care about the used game deal, I don't buy used games anyway.

 

 

I care about used games. Because that's how me and my friends borrow our games.

[Guest Darxeth]

That's understandable.

 

The whole internet thing bothers me though.

[The Void]

That's understandable.

 

The whole internet thing bothers me though.

 

Agreed...My internet bill sometimes doesn't get paid for a long time. Or also what if I am going on vacation and I go to a hotel and that hotel doesn't have internet connection. And trust me almost all the resorts in Florida never had internet connection. So I never got a chance to play online with my PS3, WiiU or 360. 

 

The Xbox One personally just isn't for me. Which is why like I said I'm sticking with PC+PS4, that's like the best combo.

 

Also I what to add some more...What about people in a military base in Afghanistan? How will they play the Xbox one? 

[Guest Darxeth]

Yeah, PS4 looks like a beacon of hope compared to XBone, even though I understand the used game deal.

[The Void]

Well I am kinda disappointed that the PS4 is charging for online...That the one thing I liked about Play Station over the Xbox. But to be honest I want to really like the Xbox One, because Xbox has some of my favorite games that the other platforms does not have like Fable, Crackdown, Gears of War,etc and also the new Ryse: Son of Rome game looks good. But Microsoft has just been disappointing me with these past news about the Xbox One. I
