Did we play the same game? Phenomenal is hardly the word I would choose to describe it. Looked pretty, but the commentary team got old really fast, and the career mode was awful. Too many steps backwards in my opinion.
Not trying to be offensive, but that seems like a rather dumb statement. Computing technology is always going to advance. By the time the next generation of consoles are out, CPU and GPU technology will make current gen consoles look like crap. Graphics and game engines will continue to advance and push available hardware to its limits, requiring newer, more advanced hardware. That's like saying you're ok with VCR tapes, despite the fact that we are getting into ultra HD now.

As a parent, I would totally want to know if my son was behaving like this behind my back. I feel pretty confident in saying you're not a parent, so I'm sure you have no understanding of what it is like to want to raise your child to be a decent human being. If my son was threatening to rape someone, you better believe I'd want someone to "tattle" on them. Better to inform someone's parents that their child is misbehaving than assume that the...
I'm right there with you. Controls out of the box were horrid. I managed to get to a point where it was at least close to NFS level arcade controls by fiddling around with the settings, but even then I feel that's rather unforgivable. I was really hoping to use my G27 setup once I get my second gaming PC put together (that one will go out in the den with my big screen while my primary remains in my office), but given the way it handles with a game pad, I don't think it will be ...
I dunno, I was enjoying the beta up until you reach the content cap, which only takes about 30 minutes. I was not a fan of the random upgrade boosts from winning events, and feel that could be tweaked to give a better experience. (New brakes give me an acceleration boost? Really??) I also hated pretty much every song available, but decent rock and metal seems to be pretty difficult to come by as far as licensed music goes in most recent games.
That being said, the "re...
I've never cared for CoD, but Battlefield and Assassin's Creed are two of my favorite franchises. They aren't perfect by any means, but they are fun to play, and that's what's important.
That said, there is no excuse for a game to be released while being buggy to the point of unplayable. Publishers need to stop stressing release dates and follow the "we'll release it when it's done" rule
Then it's a shame they didn't just rename it and continue with development. The first Prey felt very gimmicky and lost my attention pretty quickly. The concept for Prey 2 sounded great, and I'm sad they canceled it.
Perhaps you should learn how to do your job better. I mean, if you can't put together a decent gaming PC that you don't have to spend hours trying to figure out how to make it run games properly, you probably shouldn't be working on other people's machines. I say this speaking as a person who gets paid to fix computers.
The more likely scenario is that you've never played games on a PC before, and are trying to use the same boring excuses that other cons...
I am really tired of that excuse against PC gaming. My PC defaults to 1080 for just about every game. If it doesn't, it takes 5 seconds to change it, and it stays that way. If my PC can't handle all of the graphics set to their highest settings, I adjust them and move on. Most of the time I don't have to mess with anything, and it looks way better than my consoles.

Probably by adding gameplay changes and making the experience a bit different. For those rare people that haven't played the game, it's still the same great game it was when it was released, but with better visuals. For those of us who have played the game, it's still the same great game it was but with better visuals and some subtle changes to what we're used to.
Personally, I don't care if they never follow through with heists...
That would imply that skill was used to pull this off. Seeing how easy a DDoS attack is, and how little effort has to go into it if you have the right programs, I don't think this qualifies. A quick google search, money for a VPN, and a decent sized group of people willing to do the same thing is all you need.
The G25/27 not working on the Xbox 360 was completely Microsoft's fault, so it stands to reason that they should get some blame for not having the wheels work on the XB1 as well.
I spent hours building a stand for my G27 that can collapse down and still be extremely sturdy when in use. It even has a little arm for the gear shift. I had looked all over the place for news on if the G27 was going to work with the PS4 but found nothing before the PS4 came out.
I will never go back to playing racing sims with a controller. Arcade racers like Need For Speed, or The Crew, sure, but Driveclub was looking so tempting. Now I'm not even sure I want a PS4...
And what was the big focus for the beginning of their presentation? Oh, that's right, yet another Call of Duty. Sorry, if they want me to feel that they care about exclusives, maybe they should focus more on their exclusives. I'll get CoD on my PC for the SP campaign just like I do every year. I'll get the new BF on my PC for the MP, and I'll get all of the exclusives for my PS4. The only thing the XB1 has that I'm excited about is Forza, and Microsoft's decision ...

Except, of course, that the WiiU is on par with last generation's hardware, so it's doubtful they'll be improving on the visuals too much.
Skyrim is only 3.8 GB because it is all compressed on the HD. It also uses a very different system for generating a lot of what you see in game, which is why it doesn't take up much space.
GTAIV, uncompressed on the PC, is over 14 GB. That's just for the base game, not including stuff for EfLC.
Part of that large file size is also due to the fact that BD games do not need to be compressed, which speeds up loading time. Unfortunately this is offset by the fact that it takes longer to load from a blu-ray disc. It also allows the developer to store multiple languages on the disc so they don't have to press several configurations before shipping worldwide. Not saying that PS3 exclusive games aren't actually larger in size, just that it's not always about content.
If anything they would just split the story dialog and event scripting between discs, and have the entire world map on each disc. The problem with that is that you require a lot more space on each disc, meaning you could be looking at 3+ discs instead of just two, depending on the size of the game.

No, I just expect more from yearly sports titles. NHL 2014 showed a lot of improvement, while keeping important features intact. 2015 took everything that worked from previous versions and dumped them in the penalty box. Be A Pro was the most requested feature for several years, and they finally added it a couple of years back, but it was flawed. Introducing the ability to simulate your time on the bench made it feel more realistic. Ice time is earned. The be...
