@EternalDragonX I've played Warframe, and if any game does F2P right, Warframe is that game. Every item in the game is available through extensive playing and farming, the only thing microtransactions are used for in game is for quicker access to said items. It's not like other F2P games where microtransactions are utilized to get the upper hand on everyone else in the game. It IS a CO-OP TPS, after all. Don't be so quick to judge a game based on the negative stereotypes set by games that use the same business model.
@HEADESTROYER4 Agreed. One of these days, I just might start a Twitter campaign to promote constructive strides towards revolutionizing online gaming. Hopefully sooner rather than later, ha ha ha.
Man, all this talk about exclusives and console politics is giving me a headache. Why can't EA and SE just cave and give everyone everything? They can afford to.
@hydeks Dude, this is Square Enix we're talking about. They backed Thief AND Murdered: Soul Suspect and decided to cut out the Wii U in favor of its mainstream and hipster-catering brethren. They don't care what anyone thinks, ha ha ha. If they want to succeed, they just need to bring the JRPGs back to every console out there. Final Fantasy XIV was even starting to turn a profit, but now they're just shooting themselves in the foot again.
I'd rather Capcom reboot the series and go back to its clunky roots to give the fans and newcomers alike a genuine scare. Not unlike Dead Space's sequels.
Oh, thank GOD! Finally, a game that I will actually use the Kinect for AND bring all my previous DC purchases to the XBO. Harmonix? Have I told you lately how much I love you?
It makes me wonder what kinds of engines developers could come up with if they didn't release games every year and just focused strictly on quality. I remember a time when shooters and RPGs weren't released on a monthly basis.
So...Assassin's Creed went from being an ideological inspiration to a parkour showcase. Can't say I'm surprised. Ever since ACII the franchise had been flooded and perverted by a bunch of hipsters who bask in flashy, gimmicky shows of bloodlust. I'm just hoping the next iPhone will draw them away from it, hopefully bring the series back to its roots.
@hydeks I never said I didn't have an interest in Microsoft in general. Just no interest in Xbox Live or most of the IPs. Halo still has my interest as well as Dance Central. Don't be so sensitive or political about this. What I do with my money is my business, and as a gamer, I choose to invest my money into games that I find I will actually enjoy. At the moment, the genres that pique my interest are sci-fi FPSs, RPGs and rhythm games.
The reason being that Microsoft's IPs don't really interest me. I never got into Gears of War and Fable went downhill. Halo was the 360s only saving grace when I was on it. Now I'm just waiting for the Master Chief collection. As far as the PS4 goes. There's plenty of great free-to-play games and since the online-only games don't require PS+ I'm all over it. Still, not having to pay to play online in addition to obscenely chaotic action games coming up for it, I'd still pick the Wii U over the others.
I'm Filipino, the closest thing to Malaysian, which I assume is where the next Far Cry is being set and I don't see anything racist about this. People whine too much. You want racism in games? Look at the Call of Duty franchise in which they constantly glorify killing people of the Asian collective since World at War (Russians, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese).

I still play the first one on the Wii U occasionally. That, and MH3U since it was on sale last week.
Re: Xbox 360 500GB Drive Coming to Europe
I still need to get one of these so I can play XI on my slim. lol

Re: Gamescom 2014: Xbox's Official Twitch Channel Compromised
@Headestroyer4 People are taking this console "war" too far. All the more reason why I'm such a huge supporter of cross-platform gaming.
Re: Gamescom 2014: The Final Titanfall DLC Pack
@Generik That's what I was thinking, too. Wonder what sales figures for this look like?
Re: Gamescom 2014: The Final Titanfall DLC Pack
Done already? That's a shock. o_o
Re: Gamescom 2014: Battlefield Hardline Single Player Campaign Revealed
Not sure how I feel about this yet.

Eh...I'll give it a shot eventually.

Well, let's hope Crytek bounces back from Ryse by making it more accessible.

Pass. I'll just wait until ACV.

Re: Chinese Xbox One Consoles and Games Will Be Region Locked
Huh...this is kind of the inverse of Sony's relationship with China.
Re: Xbox One Available for Pre-Order in China
I imagine the XBOs were manufactured and assembled in China, so it'd be easier to pump them out into the market.
Re: Deep Silver Buys Homefront
Too many fingers in this pie. Let's hope it's not compromised.
Re: MMO Neverwinter to Xbox One... with a Catch
Well...I guess a good thing about this is that there won't be a problem with gold vendors across regions. Always was a big problem in XIV and WoW.
Re: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Release Date Moves One Week Closer
Hmm...looks like EA's juggling their release dates like a circus act. You never know what they're gonna do next.

Re: Japanese Xbox One Launch Bundles Detailed
@Emanouel Better than Sports Rivals, sure, but Dance Central? That's a stretch.
Re: Japanese Xbox One Launch Bundles Detailed
@Emanouel Why would they do that when Mario Kart is far more popular in Japan? That'd flop faster than Nokia's N-Gage. lol
Re: Dance Central Spotlight Gets Final Release Date
Oh, thank GOD! Finally, a game that I will actually use the Kinect for AND bring all my previous DC purchases to the XBO. Harmonix? Have I told you lately how much I love you?

I was able to login earlier, but then again I haven't been home for a few hours already. Hope this gets resolved.

Re: An Official Xbox 360 Emulator Is Being Planned for the Xbox One
At least MS is going the Nintendo route in regards to backwards compatibility. Why can't Sony do this instead of PlayStation Now?
Re: Review: Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z (Xbox 360)
Ninja Gaiden just isn't the same without Tomonobu Itagaki. I guess I'll just pick up Devil's Third.

Probably would've been more constructive if MS had implemented a cross-buy feature. Ha ha ha.
Re: US Xbox One Sales "More Than Double" After Kinect Stripped From Bundles
My console hierarchy goes in this order:
1) Wii U
2) PlayStation 4
3) Xbox One
The reason being that Microsoft's IPs don't really interest me. I never got into Gears of War and Fable went downhill. Halo was the 360s only saving grace when I was on it.

I'm a gamer. I play games.
