@  Mister Maf : (19 June 2013 - 12:33 PM) Give Spec Ops a run. You won't be disappointed.
@  ParadoxPP : (19 June 2013 - 12:11 PM) I'll be traveling from the 27th to july 10th, will AC2 still be free when I come back?
@  Myelencephalous : (19 June 2013 - 12:09 PM) you need to learn how to stay up past 8:30!  it's where i find my time to play
@  Holmboy : (19 June 2013 - 12:01 PM) Yeah, PS Plus has always been a steal. Free, full games every month. Too bad I have no time to play them. The last games I got were Spec Ops: The Line and Sleeping Dogs for PS3 and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend for Vita. I can't recommend this service enough.
@  Mister Maf : (19 June 2013 - 11:04 AM) I assumed the 'free games' deals would be like indie games and such. That's pretty sweet.
@  THE RED DRAGON : (19 June 2013 - 10:24 AM) PS3 EU Plus members get Saints Row: The Third / Payday The Heist/ Battlefield 3 for free in July
@  Holmboy : (19 June 2013 - 10:07 AM) I have my PS3 auto-update, not sure what I'll find when I get home today. In sports news, Aaron Hernandez (New England TE) is being investigated for connections to a murder and the Bruins play game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Blackhawks tonight!
@  Michrulejj : (19 June 2013 - 07:08 AM) Turned my PS3 on and no update.  So I'm good.
@  fatruff3 : (19 June 2013 - 07:00 AM) thank goodness mine seems to be fine!
@  fatruff3 : (19 June 2013 - 06:49 AM) great i already updated my Ps3
@  Holmboy : (19 June 2013 - 06:46 AM) @kenny828 - PS4
@  kenny828 : (19 June 2013 - 06:11 AM) what console may i ask
@  Chilli2627 : (19 June 2013 - 05:57 AM) @duke yes the microphone comes with the console. All it is, is 1 ear bud with an in line mic, nothing to get excited for
@  kenny828 : (18 June 2013 - 10:20 PM) i just signed in to my ps3 and i didnt need to update it
@  kenny828 : (18 June 2013 - 10:17 PM) ok DBM BUT HEY CAN WE PLAY BF3 TOGETHER SOMETIME
@  THE RED DRAGON : (18 June 2013 - 09:55 PM) Don't Update your PS3 Today - Users are saying it is bricking their consoles http://community.us....5/td-p/40712247
@  DBMgamer : (18 June 2013 - 07:52 PM) Just keep at it, kenny828, maybe another chat with EA.... i have had moments of about 2 hour tech support from them, yeah you get the golden poo award 2years running with that kind of service
@  Balay : (18 June 2013 - 07:49 PM) @kenny828 It doesn't have a "Change Soldier" option?
@  Sneaky Beaver : (18 June 2013 - 07:35 PM) Anyone getting on BF3 tonight?
@  kenny828 : (18 June 2013 - 07:31 PM) i cant get my battlelog to say that i play on ps3 and it says i have no active soldier
@  Balay : (18 June 2013 - 07:23 PM) What's the problem bud?
@  kenny828 : (18 June 2013 - 07:21 PM) on the phone trying to get a hold of an ea advisor its been 20 minutes already :Crying:
@  Balay : (18 June 2013 - 07:13 PM) Game 6 here we go!
@  dukebdfan980 : (18 June 2013 - 05:28 PM) Has anybody heard whether or not the microphone from all the PS4 videos is going to come with the PS4?  Will it be separate? If so how much will it cost?
@  twentyONE : (18 June 2013 - 04:35 PM) Acer is right on!  Superman in IMAX 3D was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!  The story, the acting, the action, the cinematography is all on point......oh ya, and Hans Zimmer FTW!!!
@  Balay : (18 June 2013 - 04:22 PM) I also liked DBM's pics on his blog. Xbox Juan lololol. Not bashing the Xbox community, but it was really funny.
@  Balay : (18 June 2013 - 04:20 PM) It is awesome. But the first parts were kinda confusing. Maybe it's just me. But still, they didn't point out that the guy who was holding that crane thing was Clark already, I thought he was another Kryptonian or something.
@  Mister Maf : (18 June 2013 - 04:14 PM) Get a DRM-free free copy of Torchlight 1 (pretty fun dungeon crawler, kind of a Diablo clone) http://www.gog.com/gamecard/torchlight // Alan Wake for $3, too.
@  Acerdavidii : (18 June 2013 - 03:21 PM) Forget every other Superman movie ever made, Man of Steel blows them all away and then some. Definitely see it on the big screen.
@  Balay : (18 June 2013 - 03:15 PM) Going to school by 10. Talk to me! lol
@  Mister Maf : (18 June 2013 - 12:50 AM) SPORTS SPORTS
@  DBMgamer : (17 June 2013 - 11:15 PM) sadly this is best PR i have seen so far for the X1:  http://youtu.be/887fijRU0zc
@  DBMgamer : (17 June 2013 - 10:52 PM) yep premium is like delivering "thousands of dollars of value"  -Mattrick
@  octave : (17 June 2013 - 07:58 PM) Hmm, Premium is $15 (as Maf said). Anyone know when the sale ends?
@  octave : (17 June 2013 - 07:49 PM) Welp, looks like it's finally time for me to buy BF3. You can't beat $5.
@  Sneaky Beaver : (17 June 2013 - 07:17 PM) ... or maybe they just want to rope in what's left of the stragglers who didn't buy it. @Alpine gremlin All I received was a confirmation email.
@  Mister Maf : (17 June 2013 - 06:56 PM) Premium is $15.
@  Sneaky Beaver : (17 June 2013 - 06:44 PM) Damn, $5? They probably just hope that people will make up for it in buying the DLC
@  Alpine gremlin : (17 June 2013 - 06:29 PM) Still waiting on my reply email about the WoT: 360 Edition Beta. Anyone else that applied get anything?
@  Holmboy : (17 June 2013 - 05:28 PM) Battlefield 3 on PC is $5!!! - http://store.origin...._Feature_BuyNow
@  ParadoxPP : (17 June 2013 - 04:19 PM) http://www.huffingto...kusaolp00000003 the reason I'm not going to college this week, sh*t's getting serious
@  Dbl Incertion : (17 June 2013 - 08:14 AM) @lone wolf - your video goin all Christian Bale does batman voice was, a bit off the beating path. Rest are decent.
@  kenny828 : (17 June 2013 - 07:36 AM) CANT WAIT TO GET PS4 AND BATTLEFIELD 4 :D
@  Mister Maf : (17 June 2013 - 02:28 AM) Nelson has said it isn't true.
@  DBMgamer : (16 June 2013 - 08:59 PM) anybody know if this is true? haven't heard it brought up yet:  http://gyazo.com/621...6f75e20dded0ecf
@  DBMgamer : (16 June 2013 - 06:34 PM) Tru Blood back on tonight, hopefully Bill kills every stupid storyline of the show
@  lonewolf : (16 June 2013 - 04:46 PM) Hey guys thanx for watching the vids I've been posting but pls give me some feedback it helps me work out what is amzing and what is pretty poop :D
@  ParadoxPP : (16 June 2013 - 11:48 AM) yeah, he probably meant minors
@  twentyONE : (16 June 2013 - 10:24 AM) This is why minorities can't work:  http://m.youtube.com...h?v=768h3Tz4Qik
@  DBMgamer : (16 June 2013 - 09:48 AM) thats what i thought too
@  dukebdfan980 : (16 June 2013 - 09:33 AM) he probably meant minors not minorities
@  DBMgamer : (16 June 2013 - 08:01 AM) I was waiting for this after watching Angry Joe's 2 videos comparing the X1 and PS4 reveals.  Its got some wierd moments in it lol  http://videogamesand...-w-major-nelson
@  ParadoxPP : (15 June 2013 - 11:57 PM) wtf Balay, minorities can't work? Why?
@  Balay : (15 June 2013 - 09:39 PM) Minorities here in the PH aren't allowed to work, so the only way of getting money for me at least is the allowance my parents give me. :P
@  winterfrost91 : (15 June 2013 - 09:27 PM) hey guys anyone can't get the free cq dlc? im on the ps3
@  DBMgamer : (15 June 2013 - 08:09 PM) Really?  http://www.dualshock...ne-games-at-e3/
@  DBMgamer : (15 June 2013 - 07:45 PM) Balay its $50 for the year and if you got it right now it would cover both ps3 and ps4 one year from today... not to mention all the free games that come with it
@  Balay : (15 June 2013 - 07:09 PM) What I didn't realize is that you need to pay to play online on the PS4. That would be a big let down for me. I think I'll stay on my PC until I get more money.
@  Holmboy : (15 June 2013 - 11:28 AM) I wish, my Torrent skillz aren't up to having BF4 yet unfortunately. I was definitely half-asleep at that time in the morning.
@  Acerdavidii : (15 June 2013 - 10:53 AM) BF4 Holmboy? Where'd you get a time machine brother?
@  Chilli2627 : (15 June 2013 - 08:33 AM) Holiday season
@  dukebdfan980 : (15 June 2013 - 08:31 AM) So when is the release date for PS4?
@  Chilli2627 : (15 June 2013 - 08:10 AM) Play BF4?! Go home holmboy, you're drunk!
@  Balay : (15 June 2013 - 07:45 AM) Battlelog's back! PC Straterdays anyone?
@  DBMgamer : (15 June 2013 - 07:25 AM) Uh-oh, the guys who play Battlefield for real just found out about the X1:  http://www.armytimes...service-members
@  Holmboy : (15 June 2013 - 06:19 AM) Was supposed to play some BF4 this morning on PC, but EA is doing some work on Battlelog - "Battlelog login is currently disabled, please try again in a while". Oh well, time for some Last of Us!!!
@  Balay : (15 June 2013 - 04:01 AM) Battlelog update is done. But they somehow screwed up the accounts... AGAIN
@  Balay : (15 June 2013 - 01:29 AM) I wish the ammo count thing would also be on normal mode. That would be soooo cool!
@  Balay : (15 June 2013 - 01:14 AM) It's been so long since I went on! Been busy with college stuff. So what's up?
@  THE RED DRAGON : (14 June 2013 - 08:18 PM) I've added a Stock Ticker to VGN - Let me know if there are stocks you would like added - thought this would be a great way to see LIVE what is happening with these companies i
@  DBMgamer : (14 June 2013 - 07:09 PM) Drive Club like a few of the new games is using a free to play model so everybody who has one can try it out at least, I have had my eye on it before that announcement so I may spend some money here
@  DBMgamer : (14 June 2013 - 06:46 PM) yeah u hadn't heard that? they said it at E3 so one more free next gen game... Get Ready for Club BS!! http://www.ign.com/v...gn-live-e3-2013
@  Chilli2627 : (14 June 2013 - 06:16 PM) The first PS+ game for PS4 instant game collection is Driveclub!!!!!!
@  DBMgamer : (14 June 2013 - 05:50 PM) Holy crap, just read holmboy's shout that TitanFall may come to PS4?  that would be one hell of coup, kind of like when M$ got metal gear and FF
@  schism1861 : (14 June 2013 - 05:47 PM) the next several months are going to be very irritating
@  DBMgamer : (14 June 2013 - 05:43 PM) tried to pre-order a PS4, they said they were all out, so I pre-ordered a Xbox One,  SUPER EXCITED FOR tv....
@  TheBMT : (14 June 2013 - 03:35 PM) ill be honest... I love that the Kinect 2.0 allows me to do so much stuff hands free.  Ever try to set mood music on the 360... its a bitch with the controller... hell the girl is out of the mood faster then you can get the apps to run
@  THE RED DRAGON : (14 June 2013 - 02:55 PM) I agree though - Planetside and BF4 will be awesome - Titanfall - WATCHDOGS - And that Tom Clancy game - - i'm gonna be broke!
@  THE RED DRAGON : (14 June 2013 - 02:54 PM) You know your cell phone is a open mic and camera also that can be hacked - so is your microphone on your desk and your webcam - If you think the Gov't just NOW found out how to enter your house - your naive
@  Michrulejj : (14 June 2013 - 01:37 PM) POLL; What next-Gen title are you most excited about?  Myself am excited for Planetside 2 and 64 Player BF4!
@  Michrulejj : (14 June 2013 - 01:35 PM) Microsoft = Illuminatti.  They control and see everything thus the Kinect...
@  Mister Maf : (14 June 2013 - 11:03 AM) Still I approve of the direction they're trying to move and I think they'll hammer down the best way to do it eventually.
@  Mister Maf : (14 June 2013 - 11:02 AM) For the record, you can launch most third-party Steam games directly from the executable without signing in, and people hated the platform because it was inconvenient, buggy, and not very useful in its early years.
@  ParadoxPP : (14 June 2013 - 10:07 AM) http://www.neowin.ne...-one-intentions I can kind of understand MS's position now, only one thing isn't clear, why is Kinect supposed to record EVERYTHING?
@  twentyONE : (14 June 2013 - 09:14 AM) Well, I went ahead and pre-ordered both consoles at GameStop because I am still on the fence and  because its safe to assume that demand will far outweigh supply for both consoles.  I will make an executive decision later on one or the other ...
@  Myelencephalous : (14 June 2013 - 08:31 AM) NOT!  PS4 and BF4 bundle is in stone and on it's way!!!!  SEE YOU ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!!
@  Myelencephalous : (14 June 2013 - 08:19 AM) Pre-ordered my xBox!  Super excited for COD!!!
@  Holmboy : (14 June 2013 - 07:59 AM) Titanfall is "Platform Agnostic", May Be Getting PS4 Release - http://www.gamefront...ng-ps4-release/
@  octave : (14 June 2013 - 07:26 AM) It looks interesting, and I'm a huge fan of mech suits, but it's not enough for me to purchase an Xbox One.
@  smokelessforman : (14 June 2013 - 06:18 AM) Everything is telling me to get the PS4 but...and this is a huge BUT.  Titanfall is not on PS4.  I seriously would get the XB1 just for Titanfall.  That game looks SICK.
@  Michrulejj : (13 June 2013 - 09:25 AM) Exaclty...  http://www.youtube.c...h?v=zMPMgvCJGOw
@  Holmboy : (13 June 2013 - 07:14 AM) BattleStrats Expanding on PS4, PC and Beyond. Gamers, get those controllers and mice ready! - http://www.battlestr...ps4-and-beyond/
@  Holmboy : (13 June 2013 - 06:09 AM) Oh Maf, you know me so well  :Dreaming:
@  Mister Maf : (13 June 2013 - 12:24 AM) Is someone still missing their SG 553?
@  Holmboy : (13 June 2013 - 12:09 AM) @Maf - Yeah, I misread. I thought you were contradicting my opinion that Battlefield needs larger team sizes on consoles. Speaking of BF3, we've got some PC Co-op to do mister!
@  Holmboy : (13 June 2013 - 12:06 AM) Awesome Chilli, can't wait for the fun we'll have with members over games like Killzone: Shadow Fall, Drive Club and BF4. The next-gen futures looks very bright and we'll make sure that BattleStrats is represented across all these new games that support in-game teams, clans and groups.
@  TheBMT : (12 June 2013 - 08:20 PM) thats exactly what she said
@  Mister Maf : (12 June 2013 - 08:00 PM) Hoho.
@  DBMgamer : (12 June 2013 - 07:59 PM) erm... thats what she said?
@  Mister Maf : (12 June 2013 - 07:55 PM) Holmboy, read that in the context of the entire post.  Small games can be good but BF is not suited to small games.  It was a response to the implication that bigger is always better.
@  DBMgamer : (12 June 2013 - 06:35 PM) I have a pretty important topic in the General Discussion, everybody check it out
@  Chilli2627 : (12 June 2013 - 06:33 PM) and I paid for that pre-order with a PS3 I found in the dumpster a couple months ago!!!
@  Chilli2627 : (12 June 2013 - 06:29 PM) psh bruins..... on another note got my ps4 ordered!!
@  THE RED DRAGON : (12 June 2013 - 06:26 PM) Sent a PM gremlin
@  Holmboy : (12 June 2013 - 06:19 PM) Ah missed that, I must've been drinkin' again. Let's go Bruins!!!  :drunk:
@  Alpine gremlin : (12 June 2013 - 05:53 PM) I know you`re busy Red, but did you get my PMs?
@  TheBMT : (12 June 2013 - 04:56 PM) he was talkin bout the small scale not suiting BF
@  Holmboy : (12 June 2013 - 04:17 PM) The Battlefield games to me have always been about large scale battles with various kinds of cool land and air vehicles, simulating a warzone. How is it not suited to it?
@  twentyONE : (12 June 2013 - 03:19 PM) Hump Day BF3 anyone?
@  Mister Maf : (12 June 2013 - 02:29 PM) @Holmboy: "BF is just a game not suited to it."
@  twentyONE : (12 June 2013 - 01:57 PM) Ya but why wouldn't they just say, "available at console launch or this holliday" or something similar.  Also, I don't think fracturing the player base across 5 platforms is a good idea at launch but what do I know?
@  TheBMT : (12 June 2013 - 01:03 PM) do the next gen systems have hard dates for their releases?  That could be why.
@  twentyONE : (12 June 2013 - 12:59 PM) You know what? I've been looking all over for an official release date for BF4 on next-gen and all I can find is that "it's coming later" does that mean in November or really later? Did I miss something?
@  Holmboy : (12 June 2013 - 11:11 AM) @BMT - I'm sure EA will let you have the ability to rent servers again and set max player limits. It's just too much of a cash cow for them to say no.
@  Holmboy : (12 June 2013 - 11:09 AM) @Maf - Have you ever played BF3's Armored Kill expansion with 24 players? Completely boring with tons of open space and a pain to actually find people to fight with. Armored Kill maps with 64 players are soooo much better.
@  TheBMT : (12 June 2013 - 09:49 AM) Well if they still have a server rent option.  Having the ability to choose room/map size of 12v12 or 32v32 would be nice for platoon matches
@  Michrulejj : (12 June 2013 - 09:43 AM) I wonder if platoons want 32v32...  It would be a little hard to fill those spots I say.
@  TheBMT : (12 June 2013 - 09:39 AM) ohh and taggin players with the right bumper instead of "select"  whoo
@  TheBMT : (12 June 2013 - 09:37 AM) haha...now i know what Levelution means.  epic
@  Mister Maf : (12 June 2013 - 09:06 AM) Bigger isn't always better. Small games are perfectly capable of being fun - in fact I often prefer it. BF is just a game not suited to it.
@  Holmboy : (12 June 2013 - 08:59 AM) Glad I'm going PS4 + PC, 12v12 just isn't enough anymore. Must find time to go through all of the BF4 Multiplayer videos...
@  THE RED DRAGON : (12 June 2013 - 08:28 AM) That article is wrong according to BF http://t.co/b4pYMWk1Ip
@  twentyONE : (11 June 2013 - 11:01 PM) http://www.ign.com/a...ing-skyscrapers
@  THE RED DRAGON : (11 June 2013 - 10:51 PM) link that twenty one
@  twentyONE : (11 June 2013 - 09:56 PM) Just a little FYI...IGN reports that current gen BF4 to have 32 player matches. Also said that next-gen is running at 60FPS with 64 players!
@  Balay : (11 June 2013 - 06:30 PM) Looks like that the sensor balls are back.
@  Mister Maf : (11 June 2013 - 02:31 PM) The third person is just because they are spectating.
@  Myelencephalous : (11 June 2013 - 02:30 PM) i agree, i thought the gameplay looked quite the same, but it is only pre-alpha
@  Myelencephalous : (11 June 2013 - 02:29 PM) there's third person view as an option for infantry
@  Myelencephalous : (11 June 2013 - 02:29 PM) the building falling down (Levolution) is pretty neat to see; and the map is freakin huge
@  Mister Maf : (11 June 2013 - 02:29 PM) The map looks cool but the gameplay looks identical.
@  Myelencephalous : (11 June 2013 - 02:28 PM) they have a lot of players right now just off the street mixed in with veteran community players like Levelcap
@  Myelencephalous : (11 June 2013 - 02:28 PM) they're talking a lot about the differences, like metal detectors at doors, fire extinguishers as smoke screens
@  Myelencephalous : (11 June 2013 - 02:27 PM) no jets.  the map they're playing is battle at shanghai.
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 02:13 PM) Haven't had time seen any jets flying around?
@  Myelencephalous : (11 June 2013 - 01:58 PM) ok, that was cool; followed an attack chopper pilot through the map
@  Myelencephalous : (11 June 2013 - 01:56 PM) BF4 streaming live RIGHT NOW  http://www.twitch.tv/battlefield
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 01:41 PM) I like that about ps4 that's one of the pros but I'm sure I can just plug in a TB HD via USB to x1
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 01:14 PM) PS4 to have a removable, upgradeable 500GB Hard Drive. XboxOne won't be user-changeable - http://www.computera...oshida-confirms
@  TheBMT : (11 June 2013 - 12:50 PM) hmmmm the plot thickens
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 12:28 PM) Heh I don't mind disagreeing it leads to further researching to verify facts in turn learning more things like what red just posted http://www.computera...tr=CVG-News-RSS Sony doing almost the same thing as xbox with used games?
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 12:25 PM) They need to make a new story line like FF Spirits with in that would be tight.
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 12:24 PM) I was on working a ship from FF 9 - 10-2. When I got back they were old. But I did spend time with FF X and enjoyed it 10-2 was to charlies angels for me
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 12:24 PM) In all honesty, I welcome the console war banter and look forward to everyone winning once they have their console of choice in hand this holiday season.
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 12:22 PM) But we seem to be good at disagreeing with each other, Pepsi or Coke? LOL!
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 12:21 PM) What about FF IX??? That, FF VII and FF X are my faves. I doubt it, it seems like Square's RPG's are getting more polished but the gameplay and stories are suffering.
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 12:19 PM) One day there will be a FF game as good as FF VII and FF VIII im sure of it.
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 12:16 PM) It got announced for Xbox One as well, so we'll all definitely look forward to that. Not sure how the non turn-based combat will work, but it did look pretty good.
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 12:13 PM) If Squares FF vs 13 is as bad ass as it looked and the FF series goes back to being a Sony exclusive then Im getting the eraser too.
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 12:09 PM) I totally disagree, but that's what this is all about. I'm not saying anyone is wrong or has a poor opinion, I'm just saying that everyone and their mother is saying that Sony is doing everything right with PS4 right now and I for one am excited.
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 12:03 PM) The only thrashing was sonys we stand for the right of used games etc. Sony's multi media was behind the curve, apps and exclusive and 1st party tittles weren't amazing games lagged and froze Sony is tight on cash and looking to rebound it wont make a lot of money off a $400 console they need to sell games. That's all we are looking at hence why were thinking the box might have more support and better networking/mutliplayer as well as other experiences beyond just hard core gaming due to the financial backing of Microsoft.
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 12:00 PM) Leave room for open deliberation. That's what I am doing. We're having an ongoing debate among 4 or 5 friends weighing pros and cons thus far. We might all end up Sonying it up! But at this time its Microsofts turn to address DRM,  Always On, Etc. clearly. Now that Sony has made its stand.
@  TheBMT : (11 June 2013 - 12:00 PM) I guess Im no longer a gamer...
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 11:50 AM) Please, buy as many Xbox One's as possible. After last night's thrashing it might be impossible to get a PS4 this holiday season. The gamers have spoken and they like new gaming experiences coupled with the right to do whatever the F they want with their system.
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 11:11 AM) Xbox had better reveals and exclusives IMO and I really think that with the entire Microsoft backing all the $$ they are dumping into the box. The partnerships they created and the media already created etc they will have better quality for a premium price. (I think)
@  Dbl Incertion : (11 June 2013 - 11:10 AM) I'm purdy sure I'm still a boxer too. I'm banking on Xbox changing a few things. I think they were waiting to see what Sony said before the addresses it. ...
@  TheBMT : (11 June 2013 - 11:08 AM) still on the Xbox boat.  I rarely buy used games or sell mine off.  The one thing that does annoy me is that my bro and I share games sometimes.  Which is kinda a bummer now with Xbox1.  Hopefully its something that Msoft goes "Ohhh sh*t" we better fix this.
@  ParadoxPP : (11 June 2013 - 10:58 AM) DESOLATION OF SMAUG TRAILER http://www.youtube.c...player_embedded
@  krazycarl : (11 June 2013 - 10:56 AM) so i just went over all the news from yesterday. sounds like Sony ate Microsoft for dinner....
@  Balay : (11 June 2013 - 09:14 AM) I just watched BF4's Siege of Shanghai MP gameplay. LEVOLUTION
@  THE RED DRAGON : (11 June 2013 - 09:12 AM) you're very close - - I was in a daze last night when I went to bed...I was so tired of looking at headlines lol
@  Acerdavidii : (11 June 2013 - 07:24 AM) I'll bet Red's in a coma after digesting all that E3 info......
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 06:28 AM) And with The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls and Gran Turismo 6 Sony is ending this generation on quite the high note. These games look absolutely amazing on PS3 and two of them are new IP's.
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 06:18 AM) @Balay - No games? I saw plenty of exclusives to be excited about (KZ: Shadow Fall, Drive Club, inFAMOUS: Second Son, The Order: 1886, Knack, Outlast, etc...). The best part is Sony's support for indie game developers that are allowed to self-publish their own titles.
@  Holmboy : (11 June 2013 - 05:51 AM) Got an email from GameStop last night, PS4 pre-orders are on!
@  Balay : (11 June 2013 - 05:49 AM) PS4 Press Conference didn't show games. (Sound familiar?)
@  Mister Maf : (11 June 2013 - 02:51 AM) http://img.gawkerass...g/ku-xlarge.jpg
@  DBMgamer : (10 June 2013 - 10:37 PM) Hmmmmm...... so lets see what Amazon Preorders have to say about all this tommorow
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 10:31 PM) You don't dump as much cash onto a console like Gates is and let it sink over a easily changeable software programming issue.
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 10:30 PM) @Dbm I'm pretty annoyed Xbox ignored going over the questions we all have. Simply we still don't k ow how restrictive the box will be. I'm banking on them changing some huge policies around with the ps reveal.
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 10:26 PM) @DBL it was at Twenty one also.  But anyways here is one:  http://www.speedlink...id=25493&paus=1
@  DBMgamer : (10 June 2013 - 10:25 PM) And as a Pure gamer I want no one to support something so restrictive
@  DBMgamer : (10 June 2013 - 10:24 PM) its pretty simple, when xbox 360 came out i tried it, I really liked Gears, everything else was similar>> fastforward I really like Titanfall, but me buying it says that I support crappy policies
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 10:23 PM) @Mich I think that was schis concern not mine. Played Like 600 hours on ffvii as a kid im perma used to ps controllers.
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 10:21 PM) @DBL again you can get Xbox style controllers for PS3 and it will be most likely the same for PS4.  So if thats the only problem then why not?
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 10:20 PM) Didnt change my shout? I agree the no restrictions announcement was great. But about the only thing that went great the whole presentation. Almost all live game plays chopped and lagged that's a concern. Still doesnt mean I hate ps. Loved ps1 and ps2
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 10:16 PM) Wow DBL, was to bring Obama into this? Face it, the PS4 hit it out of the park tonight. No other system will be able to have as many games with so little restrictions on gamers and developers alike.
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 10:16 PM) But - probably will eventually get a PS 4 for FFXV If its exclusive. I missed that part.
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 10:15 PM) Well, now selling my piece of crap 1998 Toyota Corolla is going to get me a few games, too!
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 10:14 PM) I'm still on board with Xbox - I think in the end you will get more bang for your buck and get what you pay for.  The ps reveal was choppy not many exclusives just a broad Obama little people approach. I love playstation but think the box will end up with more useful tools higher quality games and better networking and multiplayer support.
@  twentyONE : (10 June 2013 - 10:14 PM) Im still leaning PS4 but the controller is my ONLY beef with Playstation...I hate the PS3 controller but I obviously tolerate it.  After extensive reading on both new controllers is seems that the Xbox pad is superior again.
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 10:13 PM) You sound like a fanboy? I thought I was bad, lol!
@  DBMgamer : (10 June 2013 - 10:09 PM) sorry to sound like a fanboy but "Xbox, Turn on my PS4"
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 10:07 PM) @Schism I have seen Xbox set up PS3 controllers online.  You can even find them at Gamestop.  I assume they will have them for the PS4 eventually also...
@  chocolatemilk95 : (10 June 2013 - 10:02 PM) Well I've been planning to switch...but when they showed kh3 and versus, I squealed like a fanboy
@  schism1861 : (10 June 2013 - 09:54 PM) that might make me switch my to ps4 for my primary gaming console. i still hate that tiny awkward controller though
@  DBMgamer : (10 June 2013 - 09:39 PM) Next up, Nintendo http://i.imgur.com/GyqRZYN.gif
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 09:35 PM) @DBM I don't know that seems to complicated. It would be better if they would ban used games...
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 09:27 PM) It's been a very boozy Sony E3 conference, now off to bed. Let the console war begin!  :drunk:
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 09:24 PM) OMG Gamer, that's F'ing awesome! A true testament to Sony and how they feel about us gamers.
@  DBMgamer : (10 June 2013 - 09:22 PM) holy sh*t they are still roasting MS:  http://youtu.be/kWSIFh8ICaA
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 09:20 PM) What are people saying? "Sony took a stand for gamers" -IGN
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 09:19 PM) Hell yeah, PlayStation Plus is one price for all three of Sony's systems. And Lebron James sucks ass :P
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 09:18 PM) Also did Xbox have King James in their Presentation...?  I think not.  So should I go renew a year of Playstaion Plus then?
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 09:16 PM) I am DBM!  It looks like Borderlands 2 on steriods...
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 09:16 PM) It was a slow start, but Sony absolutely hit this one out of the park.
@  DBMgamer : (10 June 2013 - 09:16 PM) so who is playing Destiny with me??  cause that easily fills the void that Titanfall left
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 09:15 PM) Keeping with Sony. I trust them to not think I'm automatically a criminal and support self-publishing developers bringing me unique gaming experiences.
@  DBMgamer : (10 June 2013 - 09:15 PM) wow, that was a complete f**king home run
@  TheBMT : (10 June 2013 - 09:13 PM) Im sticking with Xbox...though the PS4 is quite sharp
@  TheBMT : (10 June 2013 - 09:13 PM) Destiny is looking amazing
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 09:12 PM) Is anyone switching from Xbox to Playstation or Vice versa?
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 09:09 PM) Thinking the Box had a ton of better game reveals, but really wish they wouldn't have left the confusion over restrictions etc.
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 09:09 PM) Well I heard that Microsoft is already starting to develop the Xbox 2... Cause Sony won this one!
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 09:05 PM) Bam. No DRM, no restrictions, great games and massive developer support. All for $399.
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 09:04 PM) PS4 is $399!!!!
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 09:03 PM) $400?  Cheaper than my PS3... I'm getting it on release.  I'm hooked.
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 09:01 PM) Hmm from what I saw, I am guessing its not exactly an MMO? Looked like a borderlands with occasional MM CO OP / possibly PVP? Just speculating
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 08:59 PM) Destiny is looking great, wonderful Co-op gameplay here. Almost reminds me of a sharper, more realistic-looking Borderlands 2.
@  Michrulejj : (10 June 2013 - 08:55 PM) Driveclub, Watchdogs, AC4, 2k14, and BF4 is a must.  Not to forget about GT6 also for PS3.
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 08:46 PM) PlayStation Plus will carry over to PS4 and support PS3 + Vita at no extra cost.
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 08:44 PM) Lend it, keep it, rent it, borrow it, whatever. PS4 will not require an internet connection to "check in". No DRM, no hassles, all gaming whenever and wherever you are.
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 08:43 PM) It's official: PS4 supports used games (applause ensues!)
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 08:43 PM) Well absolutely no restriction on used games. Microsoft really sucked it bad on that.
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 08:36 PM) Im really trying to talk my self into buy a PS4 too but man... Anyone catch is FF15 is PS4 exclusive?
@  Dbl Incertion : (10 June 2013 - 08:35 PM) Man half the games shown on PS lagged out and froze. AS4 the worst of course.
@  TheBMT : (10 June 2013 - 08:14 PM) not that the multiplayer reveal wasnt cool or anything.  But you could tell it was scripted.  So im really looking forward to the trade show floor live gaming on battlelog.
@  chocolatemilk95 : (10 June 2013 - 07:48 PM) vvvvv amen
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 07:42 PM) PS4 just got revealed, very strong PS3 showing already from Sony.
@  TheBMT : (10 June 2013 - 07:17 PM) ign.com's website crashes when sony's conference starts...only in it for Destiny
@  TheBMT : (10 June 2013 - 07:04 PM) lmao...right.  It was just ridiculous.  Im not even into the sports titles and I wanted those
@  twentyONE : (10 June 2013 - 06:33 PM) Here is what I did during the entire EA conference:   http://burbanked.tum...dow-like-spanky

@  TheBMT : (10 June 2013 - 01:51 PM) and a possible Mirrors Edge announcement...
@  twentyONE : (10 June 2013 - 01:50 PM) It's funny...I was most pumped for the EA conference over Microsoft and Sony for two reasons:  Battlefield 64 player demo and a Star Wars Battlefront announcement!  Really pumped to finally see Destiny in action as well.  Sony--you're on deck!

@  THE RED DRAGON : (10 June 2013 - 07:13 AM) Fable 3 is FREE on XBL
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 06:41 AM) Today is the big day, Sony and Microsoft press conferences before the first day of E3. Hopefully we'll get to see more games from the Xbox One side and the actual PS4 design from Sony.
@  Holmboy : (10 June 2013 - 06:33 AM) Yeah, the last episode of the season of Game of Thrones always ties up some loose ends and puts a few things out there from next season. The second to last episode is always "The Big One".
@  DBMgamer : (09 June 2013 - 10:53 PM) So the season 3 finale of GoT didn't blow me away, but the Greyjoys did get a present:  http://youtu.be/T7H9xEesilU

@  lonewolf : (09 June 2013 - 10:59 AM) Red cool vid today I saw some of the alpha screenshots they look.... :D
@  twentyONE : (09 June 2013 - 10:59 AM) Awesome!  Thanks Red.  I am very happy to see that they are paying attention to the "little" things.  Just tell me which damn console is going to run it better so I can make up my mind!!

@  THE RED DRAGON : (08 June 2013 - 08:29 PM) I need to try that State of Decay - hearing a lot of good things - - hate its only a single player though
@  Mister Maf : (08 June 2013 - 08:18 PM) By "lead role", does that mean the character or the main leader of the squad who talks the most?

I need to do some looking into this plan, because there is a lot of heat flying on both sides of this issue. Ryan says that the new tax code would increase revenue without hitting the poor, but others are saying it does... sounds like im going to have to sit down and actually read the plan :P

At least the budget wont be balanced until 2040....

The best income tax rate is 0. Especially for those 30~50k and under. Which only can happen if our govt is responsible.

Throw in a sound currency and we all win.

The Ryan plan is a hell of a lot more fiscally sound than Obama's budget. I would vote for the Ryan plan if it were up to us. Kinda sad that the budget won't be balanced until 2040.... I guess that's what trillion dollar deficits gets you

Pac, he shifts it to the states which the Ryan plan does to a lesser extent and over a longer period of time.


Also, nothing says "go f*ck yourself" to the president like having your budget proposal fail in the House 414-0...


EDIT: and just coming across my screen. The House passes the Ryan budget 228-191. My money is on it being DOA in the Senate and we have another year defined by spending bills. Although it is an election year this time around so even less will get done...
