Loving it. 1 or 2 'meh' tracks for me, but the rest I'm really digging.

In particular, Instant Crush, Beyond, Doin' it Right, and Give Life Back To Music.

Really, the only song I'm not that into is Contact. For some reason people are raving about it, I don't really like it that much. It's a decent closer to the record, but I thought it was boring and repetitive.

Fuck American spellings. Nite?

It's Night.

Um...Americans spell it "Night". Where the hell did you hear otherwise? The only time I've seen it spelled Nite is on seedy motel signs that only spell it like that to save space and electricity. Like "drive-thru."

Really?

I've always seen it spelled Nite in reference to the states. I thought it was just stupid, but now I see that not everyone spells it that way.

Dream Theater fan, specifically Portnoy era.

I'm still pissed about them letting him go and considering the last album sucked ass, confirmed by belief that he really was why DT was good in the first place

The last few albums with Portnoy weren't that hot, anyway. Maybe one or two tracks on a record were good, the rest seemed like filler.

The last thing they put out that I really enjoyed was the covers disc with Black Clouds, ironically.

I'll be pretty sad if we never see another Uncharted game. Not right away, but a few years down the line?

Hell yeah!

That said, I have zero love for God Of War and Resistance. Nor Twisted Metal.

Figures!

I much prefer the PS3 controller, but it looks like it will be Xbox for me. Framerate issues irritate me greatly. Thanks for the heads up, folks.

135mb of RAM? Where? On the PS3? I thought the PS3 had 256mb dedicated to VRAM and 256mb for system RAM?

Both correct, but the XMB on the PS3 and general operating system stuff uses almost half of the 256MBs of system RAM. Comparably the same systems use about 70MBs on the xbox 360.

Ah, gotcha. That's what I thought.

You can play the game with Uplay set to offline mode, so no bothering with the servers. It just has to be connected to activate the game.

Lots of people are having issues with the PC version but I've had none. Using an i5 2500@4.2ghz and a 6970 the game autodetected (I'm guessing) the optimal config and put everything on high for me. Game looks great and runs smoothly. Reading stuff about people having problems and asking if their PC will run it makes me wonder why they don't bother putting out demos any more. Or at least a benchmark tool or something. Would be infinitely helpful. I guess because Ubisoft don't really care about PC? Is there a demo of any sort on XBLA/PSN?

If you're unsure about your PC specs I'd just go with 360. I can't imagine any fun being taken out of the game because of lower res textures and a slightly lower framerate. If you're the type of person who can't enjoy a game because "uuuuugh they're only rendering this in 630p not true 720p omg" you might want to re-evaluate your life or something.

I personally care about this stuff because performance matters to me. It's not 'slightly' lower framerate. We're talking dips down to less than 20fps on the PS3, which is just disgusting. Plus screen tearing pisses me off.

Anyway, I'm gonna buy it on 360, because according to Eurogamer, it's the one to get as far as the console versions go. My computer can only run it at around 20fps on low @1080p.

I'll probably end up buying it cheaper on Steam in a year or so anyway, once I get my gaming PC built. (I'm not attacking you or anything, just throwing in my 2cents.)

I feel worse for poor Bethesda who has to make an open world game on 135MBs of RAM. They may as well try and make an iphone version if they can pull that off. Timed exclusives are really gross, though. Especially such a massive gap on them. I wonder how much Microsoft had to pay them to get that advantage. I certainly hope no one is picking platforms based on timed DLC windows.

135mb of RAM? Where? On the PS3? I thought the PS3 had 256mb dedicated to VRAM and 256mb for system RAM?
