I actually have no shortage of games at the moment. Finally bought a PS3 as I wanted to play the last of us.

So after I have finished that one I plan to get the uncharted series, the killzone series, resistance series, infamous series and so on.

Burn the witch.

Seriously speaking its quite alright to have differing opinions. Personally I think that Half-Life 2 is a masterpiece which defined the fps genre but its perfectly fine if some people dont like it:).

For example I havent played any zelda games or owned a Nintendo console. My first computer was C64 and after that my primary gaming platform was pc. So my fondest gaming experiences are mostly playing pc based games.

I think some things should be kept private. We dont really need to know everything about their private lives.

I am often surprised of how open the Giant Bomb staff is about their lives outside Giant Bomb. Sometimes it seems that they are a bit too open about it.

Then again I still havent recovered from Ryan´s cake sitting obsession.

There is really no benefit to an always online console.

This is just window dressing for an always online DRM by microsoft. It seems that they havent learned anything from the fiasco that is Windows 8.

Buy a non branded pc from a specialised computer store. You will save a lot of cash that way.

Alienware pc´s are overpriced just because of that particular brand name.

A kickstarter project and a steam early access shouldnt have anything to do with each other. The people who pledged cash made those pledges knowing that the game might not even come out. They are fans who are willing to fund a project in order that it hopefully gets made.

People on steam on the other hand want to get value for their cash. We pay the early access price because we are interested about the game and want to try it out.

Paying 82 euros for early access is a tad overpriced as there might be a high chance that we arent even interested about the released version of the game. I dont really care what the kickstarters gave the game. Some backers have given certain games over 10000 dollars. Should we also honor them and pay the same amount for early access?

And what happens if other developers decide to start charging over 70 euros for early access? Are we really willing to have a future where all the games cost this much?

Because this wont be the only early access game priced this high if this particular model proves to be a succesful one.

You mean the Dorito Pope?

Or he who has been blessed by the spirit of the holy Mountain Dew.

My biggest problem with xbox One is actually the price. The price tag of 499 euros translates to about 661 dollars which is a 161 dollar price difference compared to the price of the device in the united states.

I am not that willing to pay a higher price for a device because of additional tech in the form of Kinect 2.0 and the ability to watch tv on the xbox One. It does seem that Microsoft has a bit of the same hubris in its marketing strategy that Sony had with the PS3.

Also considering the current world economy the price seems pretty steep.

Have only played through the first 2 episodes (episode 0 and 1). Must say that I was pleasantly surprised. A lot of people are complaing about the combat being clunky. To me the combat seems actually quite smooth.

I still dont understand the combo system in the game. It is explained a bit poorly. It would have been good if the player would have been guided through creating his or hers first combo.

The visuals in this game are outstanding and the music is nice. Though still in the early parts of the game. It remains to be seen how it holds up.
