Xbox One. PC is the way to go though since I've been reading that the port is pretty good. I just prefer to be on Xbox One because I party chat with friends/family from time to time.

Fair enough. I can understand frustration in trying to melee things skittering around on the floor with a stick instead of a mouse.
 
I already beat all the tournaments in NBA Playgrounds, So I guess I'm waiting for single player DLC because Online is probably just cheese city lol. The final boss matchup is
Allen Iverson and Shaquille O'Neal and fucking Shaq drains threes like it's nothing and I'm just like LOL WUT. This is some bullshit.

My running games list of 2017 aka The Black Sheep.

1. Yakuza 0
2. Ghost Recon: Wildlands
3. MLB The Show 17 (rental)
4. Yooka Laylee
5. Late Shift
6. Flatout 4
7. NBA Playgrounds

Almost at 10...

It truly is the best time to be playing video games!

Edit: These are not ranked btw, just in continuity.

Man and you haven't even played any of the good games that came out this year!

It was kind of annoying but fiddling with the sensitivity and all helped alot. I did the same when it came to Max Payne 3 and I finished it on New York Minute Hardcore on Xbox 360 so it isn't impossible. PCs are more precise and flexible so why put yourself through such trouble if you have the means to get it on PC? Unless of course, you have preferences like I do.

Sony was absolutely considering it before the Xbone blow back, so he's right.

They absolutely were not.

It never made any sense for Sony to implement always online DRM given the huge number and variety of countries they operate in, and the rumors to the contrary came from members of the American games media who were either clueless about that market reality, or who were easily influenced into promoting fud by their connections at Microsoft.

I look at all the people saying "Man, I wish games would come to the switch now so I can play it in portable mode"

And I'm like.

Where were you motherfuckers when the Vita needed you.

You're a braver man than me. I really disliked Max Payne 3 when I played it on the 360, but I later got it for $5 on PC and loved the shit out of it. It felt like the way it was meant to be played.

Then at some point I got really drunk and replayed part of the game, then the rest of the game the next day hungover and realized that was the way it was meant to be played.
 
Sony was slowly trying to bury it and it still had great games coming out for it. :<

If it's annoying when a third party announces they have no plans for a Switch version of a game, what is it when a first party Sony studio says they have no plans to support the Vita?

Playstation's handheld strategy.

As expected, Prey is damn good. Experimented more and found out that you could make the combat better if you focus on the things that make you move fast + upgrading your favorite weapon to reload faster and have more firepower(problem is there's a ton of skills to open up and it feels abit daunting). However, they could have done better in that department overall. Nevertheless, I feel like I have a couple more hours to go before finishing the game. 20 hours in now. Once I do, I'll go back to Nier again which is another game that I'm enjoying. I just didn't expect Prey to grab me by the balls as much as it did.

Prey looks cool but the setting isn't very appealing to me. I hope we hear about DLC for Dishonored 2 at E3.

Considering how good Dishonored 1's DLC was, I'll take it.

Considering how relatively poorly Dishonored 2 sold, I don't think they'll offer it for the taking.

Weird thing is I'm kinda like jeff where I'm not super into sony first party stuff nowadays.

Like the last sony first party I bought was the last guardian. Which I loved, don't get me wrong, but I look at stuff like uncharted and god of war and just go eh.

Horizon I'll probs get sometime down the line at a hefty discount.

I finished Max Payne 3 a handful of times. I played that mode when I pretty much had the entire game memorized down to the amount of enemies and from where they'll be coming from at any given time. That's how much I loved and enjoyed MP3, later on I got it on PC as well during a steam sale so I could fuck around with it more and max out the settings.

I'm all about being isolated and solving a mystery. Mix it in with a good setup and I'm all in(the story is engaging from the get go). Being in space with cool sci-fi shit + a synth soundtrack is all gravy at this point. One of the coolest things about Prey is that (skills related spoiler)
everything that the enemies hit you with are things you could acquire and use against them in interesting ways should you choose to follow that specific skill tree. Yes, even turning into objects.

"I'm naked in a bedroom. I'm up here with Alex."

I needed this today.

Edit: VINNY! Buggy passes by, and instead of leaving the little shack to shoot at it, he just sits back and watches things unfold. This has happened a few times, and it's killing me. But I do understand. You spend 90% of the game just moving around, and trying not to shoot your own squadmates in the process. Imagine it's hard to get into that typical FPS mindset.

Hmmm...

Steins;Gate 0
Persona 2: IS
Nonary Games (already beat the trilogy)
Valkyria Chronicles
Transistor
SMT: Nocturne (never got past matador when I first played it years ago as an SMT noob and have yet to beat it)


Not sure what to play next tbh. I'm gonna get Nier next month, so that's currently off the list of games I have that I want to play.

I'm not one to throw shade or start shit, so ultimately I don't mean any offense by this, it's just a personal preference.

I'm... not digging Ben just yet. Abby seems great, but Ben is uncomfortable to even listen to.

I hope he grows on me. Dan did. I didn't think anyone could step up post Ryan death. I honestly didn't think the site would recover.

We saw 2 seconds of Abby and she said one line... :p

Initial impressions, I suppose. AND THAT CRISP CAMERA.

Giant Bomb is the first (non porn) website I've ever paid for, so I'll embrace whatever comes. I just hope the dude is getting over a cold or something.

Is it how he sounds, his opinions, humor, what really rubs you the wrong way about Ben? Curious is all. I'd love Ben more if he didn't come hard for DOTA. Also, getting over his vocal fry was small speed bump for me from his first podcast.

Edit: people pay for porn?

It's his voice. I know the dude is super tall and has lungs of a giant but it sounds like he's recovering from a cold.

Edit: not anymore. I've been on the internet a while.

Not being put on a watchlist for owning a vita

Hey now. You're only on a watchlist if you buy most games for the Vita. Especially the ones with the fancy "touch" controls.

It's his voice. I know the dude is super tall and has lungs of a giant but it sounds like he's recovering from a cold.

Yeah, I get that. The first podcast for me was super rough. It can grate pretty bad if you can't get over it and is more likely something you'll need to get use to as his voice is most likely not going to change much unless he focuses on a more "radio voice" that Jeff has.

Edit: I've never paid for porn once. Thanks Internet.
