TheMightyEthan Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I think it looks like a toy, but a durable one. Like it's made of Nintendium. I think it's the DS4 that looks fragile (doesn't feel fragile though). As for the console itself I don't think it looks like a toy at all, I think it looks like a piece of late-90's AV equipment. And while from a purely aesthetic standpoint I like the Xbone controller better, it doesn't look as comfortable as a DS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Is it me or does the One controller look hideously cheap? That plastic looks like it'd shatter under the grip of a child. Psst, your bias is showing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Realizing that the Xbox One is available to some people right now, I thought I'd take a look at some first impressions. "GRRRGGRRRKKKKKRRKKK........" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 So, got my xbox one. Had to wait at Wal-mart for 13 hours this time. There was a line going from the tech section all the way to the entrance of the store. They wouldn't tell us how many they were getting. Thankfully, I was one of the lucky ones who got my xbox one(along with the 20 hobos I hired behind me).When I got home I opened the box...and Bill Gates himself stepped out.Asked if I wanted a bj, I declined.Proceeded to play Ryse. Naked. Because Kinect said it was the only way to start the game. He promised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Some are going to fail at launch so nothing too interesting here till I got to the sound. Man, is it a scary sound. Its a really bad error to have since now you got a sound bite... what an unfortunate malfunction to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 thanks, HH. I would be very nervous putting a disc in there - it sounds like it could damage it. and didn't MS refuse to acknowledge the problem when the 360 was scratching discs and not replace damaged ones?

Mal Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 This one seems more like the gears in the motor is having issues. If it does spin the disk, it might spin it rather normally. From what I've read, it doesn't damage the disk or at least in the first few run around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yep, sounds like the gears, and it's fortunate that people are able to eject their game discs. That would have definitely been worse/frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Apparently the new Forza has microtransactions bordering on Candy Crush levels of heinous. Purchasing every car in the game will allegedly set you back more than 1000 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vecha Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 That is beyond insane...Really worries me about the future of gaming.At first(2007ish) I was reaaaallly excited about DLC.Was waiting, pleading, begging for Mass Effect DLC(sadly both packs weren't that great)...While Oblivion did it right with their DLC/Expansions. Get these motherfucking microtransactions off my motherfucking consoles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) It says you have to buy tokens for cars, which are basically glorified Microsoft points, so you have to buy increments you don't need. If you REALLY plan ahead and buy the best values you need it comes to about 1690 dollars. If you just buy the biggest bundles it is more like 2200 dollars. If you just buy the smallest token packs it is 2700 dollars. Edited November 23, 2013 by Mister Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 can you unlock them all by playing without paying extra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Guess I'm linking Eurogamer again. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-23-whens-a-free-to-play-game-not-free-to-play It's a problem exacerbated by Forza Motorsport 5's drip-feed of cars as part of a $50 season pass, a number of which are being reintroduced from earlier games. And even when you've bought them as DLC, in order to own them fully in the game they have to be purchased using in-game currency - or, of course, by pumping in a little extra money of your own. The game's creative director, Dan Greenawalt - a smart and passionate man who I suspect isn't behind these decisions - admitted the season pass hasn't been wholly popular, but that people are enjoying it and redeeming it, and that it's keeping them playing the game for another 6 months. He compared it in some small way to a gym membership - but the problem with Forza 5's membership is that having already bought the gym and paid a subscription, you're then asked to pay individually for each piece of equipment within. ... It's sad to see Forza's considered craft replaced with dark economics - after all, Turn 10's series was one of the best at penning a link between driving games and RPGs. In a good RPG, there's always pleasure in power levelling and submerging yourself in the stream of XP and progression. Designing a well-balanced, well-paced levelling system is a fine art, and as soon you introduce microtransactions, that's corrupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 You have to pay microtransactions to unlock your dlc? Am I reading that right? Holy fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
