I wish NetherRealm could just make a horror game for fans of horror characters, and let MK be MK.

I'd so much rather have more classic MK characters in this game. Also, a dedicated horror game (à la Injustice) could be neat.

I hate dealing with dying batteries, so I just leave my controller plugged in almost all of the time. I also tend to sit only a few feet away from my screen, so it's not really an issue.

My bigger issue is remote playing on the PSTV. The USB port on it doesn't seem to deliver enough juice to charge the controller properly, so my dedicated DS4 in my bedroom is almost always dead when not plugged in.

The way they handle your codename in the Railroad is vastly superior to this half-hearted feature.

@sammo21: If he wanted to (and wasn't contractually obligated not to go on some podcast from a megacorp like CBS), he absolutely could. Dan was on before he worked at GB, and Jared has worked numerous gigs that aren't CBS.

12 month subs can easily be found between $30 and $40 (especially during BF). If there are four games I play in a year from PS+, it's made back the investment for me.

Add in the occasional online MP and the extra discounts, and it's a really solid deal if you play a lot of games on Sony consoles.

If you're willing to learn the mechanics and dive deep with it, it seems pretty cool. Not "buy an Xbox One for this one game" cool, but cool.

But for people only looking to fool around and have fun on a surface level, I feel like they're better off with a DOA or MK.

DF has looked at it briefly, and intends on doing a full breakdown. It's mentioned in the Xbox One RotTR performance analysis post: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-tech-analysis

Early thoughts seem to be "it's surprisingly good for a 360 port." You're obviously compromising on fidelity (and probably frame rate), but you're getting basically the exact same game. If that's all you've got, or you don't want to wait for the PC/PS4 versions, you're probably gonna be fine.

Seriously, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Bethesda games receive massive critical praise every single release, I invest in them like the dummy that I am, and I actively dislike the experience every single time.

I feel like people must be playing a different Fallout 4 than I am.
