    so who wants to play Dungeons and Dragons, if this type of money hungry behavior continues I think I will be backing out of video gaming. This is as many things in life a step down a dark path for gaming in general. Maybe I will just have to go back to PC gaming, might as well and at least that is backwards compatible. This whole thing with Xbox one is putting a very sour taste in my mouth for the industry.

    I'm frankly surprised it has taken as long as this for something to be implemented. Anything that get developers their fair share is good, who cares if gamestop's profits get eaten into.

    I wonder if EA will be making more games for Wii U when the shit hits the fan regarding Microsoft's plans to more or less stifle used games sales. Added to the fact that they are forcing us to adopt Kinect, I expect that a lot more people will buy a Wii U unless the PS4 goes a diffferent direction from where MS is going.

    I'll not be getting one at launch anyway, but still good to know we're not getting left behind this time. I wonder if the decision has been made because they're aiming to take the money off all the people who are saying they'll jump ship from microsoft, before they change their minds?

    I'd like to think they'd learned their lesson after the PS3, but you should never underestimate corporate greed. I'll still leave it a while anyway, a good few of my mates bought the Dreamcast on launch while I urged caution, which turned out to be a damn good decision. Although based on what (admittedly sparse) info is out at the moment I think if any system is going to swan-dive it will be the new XBox...

    the fact that you have to install the game makes the whole boxing kind of obsolete and unsustainable... the good thing: if u never touch it then it always looks as good as new...kinda justifies the whole renting/borrowing issue... wait actually it does not.

    Uh... did you actually paid any attention at what he said? He never said there wasn't a great story. Just that if you go in just wanting to play a puzzle game without feeling encumbered with the story, there's that, but the story and details of it are definitely there. If you have ever played trough Braid, Blow's last game, you'd understand what he's talking about.

    --im excited to see what developers are gonna do with 8th gen power --but its not like the old days anymore --there isnt that "natural transition" anymore --theres an air of "lets just try this , see how it goes" --or "this is all we got, we gotta do something, lets try it, if it fails we can do an update" --which can be good --i just miss the old days of natural growth --really truly taking things to the "next level"

    Hopefully phase 3 will be the final nail in the coffin to convince me to get this. Might finally be able to get back into an MMO for once :|

    Holy shit! This is still coming out? It's things like this that make me wonder whether Squeenix will survive next gen. They're going to re-release an MMO whose first iteration was universally maligned on a console two months before it becomes obsolete AND charge $12 a month? Whose going to pay $12 a month for that crap?
