I've only heard the complaint about targeted games and exclusives.

Available today!!! I'm leaving work now to go play it = )

Strider being remade by Capcom, plans to flip onto PCs next year | PC Gamer

Or you could y'know...download MAME for free and the Strider/Strider 2 ROMs and play both right now.

I paid $16 for the iOS port of Final Fantasy VI and I am having a goddamned ball.

Wonder if they're going to release 7 on android/iOS. They've resisted remaking the game for almost 20 years now. The collective nerdgasm whenever it gets announced will be immense.

And goku eats a senzu bean.

Don't forget about all the grunting/screaming

Well being really annoyed that the pc version doesn't come out until today that's exactly what I did.

:icon17:

i need opinions/answers on a odd xbox one question lol

anyone have any idea on how digital downloads on new major titles will work? i ask because of titanfall. i have this OCD kinda thing with getting big titles at midnight release but i am trying to go all digital downloads for my xbox one. trying to find out if the digital download for titanfall will go live at midnight like its hard copy version?

I can't answer that definitively but its very likely that there is an authentication mechanism that will be required before anyone can play the game. So its more of a digital lock that has a timer that counts down to expiration. Once the lock is lifted at expiration then anyone can play. So what I'm getting at is, even if you got a copy of the game early, there are likely mechanisms in place that will prevent you from playing it before the developers say you can. I would presume that both will go "live" at the same time, I don't see a reason why they would differentiate between the two.

well with this being the first major title thats not a launch release its just all new. plus the digital download aspect is somewhat new for inital release since prior games even on 360 werent avaliable right away for digital downloads.

This is not new to the PC market by any stretch. I've been buying games online for close to a decade now and the model I described is how I've seen things handled most commonly in recent years. I would be surprised if the consoles did something drastically different.

well i dont play games on the PC and havent for many years. once xbox original dropped the PC has been for school paper, stealing music/movies, facebook, and porn. well now thats all on my phone lol

i just dont want to wait for a midnight release digital download then it not be up for sale and then i'm stuck with my thumb up my *** while my friends play. i just want to stay disc-less on my xbox one lol

Im still saving up for my PS4...:ugh2:

I have issues lol I'm already thinking about how nice the white Xbox one would look next to my black one lol

man, get you a ps4 duude...:p

Not a play station guy. Do not like them lol

Man I just don't have time for console games anymore. They're such a huge time sink. I started playing fallout new vegas right before Christmas and finished with it about a week ago.

I think with the PS4 games are available to download starting at midnight, but they take forever to download and install. I bought Madden 25 online (not at launch) and it would let you play a very limited number of things while the game finished downloading/installing. I could only play the Ravens vs 49ers game and do training drills. Everything else was locked out until the game was done installing. Not sure if this helps at all :p

Well even if u but a hard copy you have to install on Xbox which take roughly same amount of time.

thats unfortunate dude.;)

I dont think I'd ever do the digital download stuff anyways.

i have 3 old ones packed away but that was back when xbox was just coming out and i had em both. then i saw the light and like an adult chose the better console and became a xbox person for life.

:tiphat:

:roflpuke2:

I had the orginal xbox, and loved it, then the 360 came out while i was working at best buy, and I saw just how many were coming back for issues, so I ended up getting the PS3 and havent looked back..

i like because i always want to go on a killing spree when these poorly made discs fail. i've had a few do that and my friends have had discs fail within hours of buying the game.

now with xbox one making you install all games i guess that solves the issue and you can resell the game eventually.

but bright side is i was reading that they are going to start pricing digital downloads cheaper than hard copies of games. i mean it makes sense since there is no actual materials being purchased (i.e. case, manuals, discs) and also you do not have ane trade in/sell ability. well i read microsoft is doing this with xbox not sure if sony has plans on this.

my first xbox360 which i had at midnight day one (nov '05) lasted until my last semester in college which was may '09. thats a awesome run considering the ungodly amount of hours i put in on that machine. it finally died and then i got another which is still alive and i gave it to my sister when the 360S model came out. that is still running at my house as well and is under my xbox one......next to a stack of about 80 games......next to many cords and a game capture device......with a music quality mic......and laptop just for game recording lol

i have mentioned i have issues right? :bowrofl:

Yeah but the download time in addition to the install time just makes it worse. Unless you start downloading at midnight and don't play till the next day, buying a physical disc will probably be the quicker way to play.

I've played Xbox before, but never owned one. Don't plan on getting one either anytime soon.

the beta was a 5gb download took about 15 min

IIRC Madden was like a 20+ GB download and it took me a couple hours to download. I was able to play like a demo version of the game in that time though.

thats cool..lukcily i havent had any discs fail, I'd be pissed too.

when i downloaded forza it was 40gb and it took about a hour maybe hour and a half. i started it and went out to eat lol

hence why i always pay $3 for a year of disc protection at gamestop :tiphat:

:inoutroflpuke:

that makes sense.:p

most games dont get played after year since sports games update a year and COD gets a new edition every year etc... lol

Im actually playing Batman Arkham City.. Its pretty sweet.

yea my firned told me that was apretty solid game. never played it myself yet though.

Ahh dude, the games got everyone.. penguin, joker, riddler, bane...etc etc..:p Its good so far.

see now i may have to buy it lol

i got too many games to play at the moment though to grab a new one.

got my NHL14 GM and HUT leagues
world of tanks just came out - i rage quit it daily though
still never finished the last chapter of dead rising 3
have forza 5 but dont like it lol
and COD: ghosts for clan battles. we got some big thing this weekend something called "diamond division" which i didnt even know exsisted lol but i guess when you take 1st almost every week in clan wars you move way up :tiphat:
