Naw you dont get charged until the article you choose is available, in case of the Xbox or PS4, you wont get charged, til it ships and you SHOULD get it on launch day too.

I stopped reading at your second issue,

sounds to me like Xbox is moving in the wrong direction, for YOU on top of that, your third issue makes no sense, if your Xbox is in your living room, and Xbox is looking to make you replace just about everything in your living room save for the HDTV and the Home theather system, its doing a damn fine job for you, you dont need to move anything from your living room to enjoy the features of the Xbox, and the kinect is there for you to use it or not. you can totally ignore it if you want.

thats a retarded thing to say, I almost find it insulting that you would label yourself a gamer, thinking that the XOne and the PS4 have nothing on the WiiU, when the WiiU was launched about half a year ago, with around 12 titles, and guess what? that library is still in the short 20 titles, if you take into account only original IPs, WiiU has only been getting games that the other two previous consoles already had for 2 or 3 years prior, youre not gonna hear ONE person say “Oh I’m going to buy a WiiU for ME3 or the director’s cut of Deus Ex HR.” c’mon man really? I can justify it with the simple fact that both Xone and PS4 will be getting around 15 launch titles and you can BET, in the same amount of time it took the WiiU to expand to say 20 or 30 original IPs these consoles will be close to way more than that, you can go and scream and kick all you want about WiiU getting more sales than these consoles, but the fact is that its gonna be GameCube, Wii all over again, its gonna get the middle finger from the big triple AAA developers like UbiSoft, DICE, Square Enix, etc and its not gonna get those big budget games like Metal Gear, Halo, Killzone GTA, hell technically the WiiU should be able to run GTAV, and its not gonna get it, ALREADY the WiiU is missing out on a game thats notorious and sells like hot cakes on the gaming community.

Don’t bloody get me wrong I’D WISH, Nintendo would get its big boys pants on and get the respect they SHOULD deserve, but after playing Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, and so forth since 1990s and realizing that its the 2010 and they’re still selling Pokemon, Mario, Zelda and so forth, Nintendo is like that friend from college/ high school that got stuck in those ways and refused to “grow up” and you see him and you feel glad, that atleast someone still has that, but deep down, you just want it to get over with.

Nintendo NEEDS to stop making games and consoles and start lending licenses and make NEW IPs, Mario’s fun but he no Snake.

that only happened on some of the objectives, otherwise good team members and coordination would have made it impossible for the attackers to advance any further, I mean sure some points it was just a matter of time before the objective was destroyed by the falling building, but that kinda added a sense of awareness, and it would put the defensive team on the offensive, to kinda keep the attackers suppressed in such a situation, just like a real battlefield, in BF3 you dont have to worry about that, of even damage to the M-Coms which is kinda bad, I loved it honestly, and I Hope BF4 brings it back.

Thats sort of why I hate it when the verge does a game review.

Its like having a gamer do a review of a Ferrari.

and actually having enough time to get ouf the building too, I cant remember when was the last time I scored a kill cause I dropped the roof on somebody on BF3.

misleading?

You can blow up that building, you can blow up the support columns, you can use tomahawks to blow opposing tanks, you can ride any vehicle thats available in the area, you can knife and counter-knife kill, you can jump out of any building and deploy a parachute, granted the fall is tall enough to do so….

Not sure what gameplay you saw.

The main reason they dont do high level of destruction was design choice, they said it, otherwise they’d throw High level destruction for PC only, like they did 64 player matches, now THAT was a real limitation for current gen consoles.

and I honestly believe them, a lot of people arent gonna actually play BF3 the way it should be, if you added total destruction you’d have a lot of people running around just trying to level everything and ruining the experience for a lot of other players.

You both forget that, there wasnt a single building that was more complex than a two story building with a main living room and a second smaller room, that was it… and the large warehouses with nothing in them but maybe a barrel or two…

and yes I know atleast you could blow out trees, but thats why BFBC2 appears to be more destructible, all the maps were on “country like” areas and small towns, BF3 introduced more buildings into one area of the map, and still the maps feel “vacant”

One thing I will say, firefights in BFBC2 were a lot more exciting and appeared to be longer than on BF3, I remember how in a lot of the maps there was a lot of house to house firefights, theres nothing like that on BF3…

Bungie sold the rights of Halo to Microsoft, the deal was that Bungie would make 5 Halo games, Halo 1, Halo 2 & 3, ODST and Reach to seal the deal, After that Microsoft could keep the rights to Halo, and Microsoft made 343 Industries to make Halo games, that in turn delivered Halo 4… and look how that turned out

really to suggest that Microsoft would crap out on something like this is wrong… theirs trails and error, RARE was an error, but I doubt Microsoft could make that mistake with something like Nintendo.

Also what Mathew said, you would freaking buy a Xbox for playing Mario, Zelda and Co. Conker doesnt have such a big fan base

The only reason why I’d consider dropping $$$ for a 3DS is to play Pokemon games, heck its the only reason I bought a handheld since pokemon red.

Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic, the mother of all Star Wars prequel, definetly did a better job than Lucas’ prequels and shit on their fans.

BioShock, particularly the last one does great
and so do Hideo Kojima’s work (atleast when he’s heavily involved)
Final Fantasy, Shadow of Colossus and I know im missing more.

Metal Gear franchise and the BioShock trilogy would kindly disagree, some of the best plot-twist and storytelling out there, Mass Effect trilogy has definetly earned the title of contemporary Space Opera, this whole article I can handle coming from Speilberg, but Lucas can shut the fuck up.
