Re: E3 - 2015

So basically Sony is all "You're going to LOVE all of these PS4 games! in, like, two or three years"

While Microsoft is like "Hey guys, remember A Kingdom for Keflings? You held onto your copy, right? Now we can pretend it's 2008 forever! ...Please?"

Re: FFX/FFX-2 HD

Is the Vita version no good? I was going to buy it a little later on, but I figured portable was the way to go, since it would still look pretty good, and I'd be more likely to play it that way.

Re: AC4: Black Flag

Almost finished the main story, having long exhausted the side missions, and bled them for all they're worth. This game is so amazing when it's not being Assassin's Creed, and so middling when it is. I will say that this game goes a long way towards making me feel like a graceful traversal master, t...

Re: What Systems/Launch Games Are You Getting?

Watching the launches carefully to see how some of the functionality goes. In particular, I'd like to see how well remote play works on PS4, and what kind of media streaming options will be available outside of the US on both systems. Honestly speaking, I'm pretty much a lock for PS4 in the long ter...

Looking really good, but I just can't imagine anything will convince me to buy any next gen console at release. Still, no doubt I'll pick it up eventually. The first price drop will probably be enough to convince me, and by then there should be a respectable collection of software out.

I packed up my 360 already, probably for good. The PS3 is still hooked up, though it's pretty much just a Netflix box with occasional blu-ray uses, and even more rarely, weird esoteric and/or Japanese crap on the PSN store that I can't find anywhere else.
