I got it Friday. Spent about 6 hours on the game so far. It's a solid game that is setting next gen consoles in the right direction. I like the action platform w/ collectibles genre. It's not as polished as the Uncharted series but you get some more room to roam. It's not GTA style, but much larger than Uncharted/Tomb Raider. Graphics are nice. Particle effects stand out and the game is fun. |

Some powers are locked out, so guess I will have to play thru again as a good guy to get those remaining powers. |

Same here. It's hilarious how, when an enemy is on the ground surrendering and you choose to "execute" them, Delsin just kicks them off the screen. |

Yeah, that cracks me up. Just like an NFL FG kicker. The game has glitched me a couple of times and the civilian just goes straight up vertical instead of the usual 10-15 ft and then into ashes. |

NO ITS NOT. i know people like to throw this around because its the trendy thing to say. since everyone says it.
titan fall looks good. great? no. graphics wise its a top level 360/ps3 game.
but the AI for the grunts, spectors, wild life= next gen
the fact the game doesnt freeze up everytime there's a big fire fight with multiple titans and grunts, spectors, pilots blowing stuff up and shooting at each other = next generation processors/ram.
so sorry its not an up-scaled 360 game.
the question is why do people complain like this ever new gen? it happens everytime. they get so good at developing beautiful looking games for the current gen. they look as good or better then the next gen. even thought the next gen consoles SHOULD be able to produce a better looking game. they dont know how to tap into all of the resources. they need practicing coding on the new platform. give them time.

So I finshed the story with bad karma, and I'm gonna start a new play thru with good karma. Is there a way to check your total time played? I can only see a percentage of completetion when you go to load a saved game. |

| Microsoft finally pulling its head out of its ass, which means they've probably been getting their ass kicked by the ps4. I'll probably pick up a kinectless Xbox sometime this year or next, once some more games are available. |

I think it's a mistake to offer the XBOX ONE without Kinect because it removes motivation for devs to develop for it. Why spend $ developing a control system for your game that not everyone will have access to?
I think MS should have just ate the cost and reduced the price of the whole system and taken the short-term loss instead of unbundling. |

| There goes "the future of gaming". What happened to Kinect being an absolute integral part of the Xbox experience? I've lost track the amount (or should I say the distance) of backtracking from M$. If they stuck with it and just lowered the price...shouldn't have lied in the first place. They've lost what little integrity they had left. |

It is a completely nerfed experience without Kinect. A completely different console.
Now that version has no advantages over the PS4, but is still the same price. |

its not a mistake. they are forced to do it.
here's the deal. THE PEOPLE are not READY for that next level gaming. they cant comprehend it. So that means the devs wont develop for it like they should. which means the only gaming enhancements you will get with the kinect, will be more along the lines of gimmicks and small things.
So it is what it is. MS makes the box for the people. the people made it clear with their wallets that they didnt want a high priced system with the kinect. they didnt think it was worth it to pay that extra $100 for the kinect.
now me personally. i'm all for a kinect and i have one. and i bought it at launch for a reason. i know what i like about it. and i love the features. i also love where it COULD go. but i'm only one.

I have to disagree. I don't think the problem is that people aren't ready for next level gaming. I think the problem is that the Xbox One, as of yet, is clearly a next level gaming platform.
I mean, playing games on it doesn't feel like like a next gen console the way the Xbox 360 over Xbox did. Or, the way Nintendo 64 felt over Super Nintendo.
So your second point I agree with -- the value isn't there because when you go to someone's house to see the Xbox One, you don't leave feeling like man, I have to get one of those because my 360 isn't cutting it. |

Did you play the Last of Us on PS3? If not, the remasterd PS4 version is coming at the end of July. NBA2k14? I've seen it around $30, but the new one comes out in October. GTA V in the fall. Assassins Creed,MLB, FIFA BF4, COD, Infamous 2, NFS |

| The Last of Us was amazing. One of the best gaming and cinematic experiences I've had in a while. Anyone who hasn't played it should absolutely pick up the remastered version if they have a ps4. |

So according to PP, I don't wan't to plug my kinect in because I can't comprehend next gen gaming? bwaahahahaha
Destiny looks rad, played the Alpha as well. The White PS4 bundle is very pretty. If you've been waiting to pick any of these systems up, now's the time.
If anybody wants a Xbox One, with the Kinect, drop me a PM. I'm selling mine and I literally used it for 2 weeks. Once I got sick of Titanfall, I never turned it on again. |

Naughty dog game right?
I'll definitely grab it, Uncharted is probably the reason I went PS4 over Xbox One. |
