Too bad they're only in big cities and none close to me. That said I did reserve a spot for myself in San Fransisco before they sold out which it looks like they did everywhere. It's an hour and half to two hour drive on a good traffic day. Not sure I will go because of the travel but the free giveaways might be worth it.

New Amplitude PS3/PS4!!!

It is fully funded, Amplitude is coming back! I love music/rythm games but not stuff like Rock Band, not big into plastic peripherals especially if they only work for a set of games. I never got to play these when they were out but I did inherit frequency a few years ago and it is a supurb game. Can't wait to play Amplitude.

What is your next/last game purchase?

You have never played Spyro or Crash?! Anyway I just bought Wolfenstein The New Order and my next purchase will be WatchDogs and Drakengard 3 a little later.

Xbox One without Kinect come June

Nail Strafer May 15 2014, 07:48 AM So, first it was "no used games", now it's "the Kinect is never going away". The XBone is much more tempting now without the Kinect (because I really don't want that thing spying on me in my living room). But I just don't trust Microsoft anymore after all of their backpeddaling, and their reluctance to change until greed bites them in the ass. In any case, what we need now is updated versions of the consoles with bigger hard drive sizes. I want to see versions with at least 1-2 TB before I take a serious look at either one. I heard stories about people already running out of hard drive space on just 500 GB. Exactly if Xbox One was selling well you can be your ass that they'd still have it exctly the way it was when they announced it. They act like they're for the gamers but it's all about money and they can't make any when no one wants it and they aren't selling enough. That Phil Spencer guy who took over is consistently talking about he is all about games when he was a big suporter of DRM and vocal about it. Now things have changed? He is like a politician that flip flops and hopes the public is stupid enough to forget about it. But peope remember what they started out with and they remember their competition was for the consumer from the get go. Not to mention even at the same price as its main competitor it isn't a good deal because it's still a weaker system with no advantage feature wise. If Sony drops the PS4 to $349 it will render that move useless. On the subject of games, yeah installs are HUGE! I have 10 disc games and 7 downloaded games and have used over 300gb but I got a 2.5in hdd that is 1.5 TB for $85 online and when they start to make larger onesthat fit I'll upgrade eventually but I have lots of space still. I was right. April NPD numbers are out and they knew they were faling behind so they had to do this knee jerk reaction. 115k XBones sold in North America and 215k PS4s making it almost 2:1 in favor od PS4 with Infamous Second Son becoming the best selling Next Gen game so far. May will only be worse as MLB 14 The Show released on PS4 and being the only baseball game available in the U.S. it'll help out Not to mention WatchDogs which has better graphics and exclusive content on PS4.They didn't listen to ANYONE AT ALL!! They just weren't getting money so they had to scramble to make things look better. Sony and Nintendo aren't perfect but if they pulled this crap I'd be just as pissed, probably would quit gaming.

Final Fantasy XIV

The visuals are a nice upgrade, not huge like Infamous 2 to Second Son but its an older game. The comprisons on youtube do it no justice and the PS4 version shows more characters on screen at the same time but both are great versions. As far as MMOs go I can't compare it to anything other than DC Universe and that's a completely different type of game but it is really an enjoyable game so far. I'm level 14 now so not very far. Mine is a conjurer too, his name is Dr. Pepper. lol!

So Final Fantasy XIV came out on PS4 recently and I got it on release day. It's also on PS3 but obviously the PS4 version is better. Oh and PC obviously, anyone play it? It's much better than I expected but I need to level up still ad get things rolling.

Xbox One without Kinect come June
Posted: May 13 2014, 03:33 PM Forum Act II: Video Game Station View full topic
Yeah it is telling of how poorly it is doing. Microsoft said 5 milion but that's shipped while the PS4 is ove 7 million sold to customers and Microsoft have stated they are slowing down production because they obviously have over shipped. I'm thinking they announced this now because April NPD is coming soon and they probably got smoked. In March they had to give away their biggest game of the month with an unofficial price drop to $449 (making the console essentially $389) and they still got outsold. Not that selling the most matters but it will only slow down the lead of the competitor but it will still get outsold. They lost trust and I still don't trust them. I'll only ever buy another Xbox if the brand gets sold to another company because Microsoft will say ANYTHING to sound good instead of just letting their product do the selling.

My PSVita Slim review
Posted: May 12 2014, 07:53 PM Forum Act II: Video Game Station View full topic
Well I got the new Vita after owning the old one and here is what I've noticed. It's thinner obviously but not by a huge amount. What is VERY noticable is the weight compared to the old model. The triggers are much more solid and feel better. It feels better to hold in your hands too. Also the speakers are noticably better volume wise! Now for the display. A lot of people are saying it is a downgrade to the oled display of the previous one but I'm willing to bet they never tried the new model. The new model I feel has more natual colors while the old model has a higher contrst. I feel the old model was too saturated though but it is gorgeous so it is more of a preference than which oneis better or worse. Some advantages to LCD is there is less ghosting(I never noticed this though), longer life, and less power consumption. So really if you're in the market for a Vita either version is worth it and I would suggest trying both if you can. I do love the new version though. I need to import a 64GB card though.

Sony did to Microsoft what they did to Sga in '95 last year. I'm very excited about this one because you know they're going to bring out the big guns. It's hard to have sofware redy before a system launch but on year after launch is when new systems always start turning on the heat.
