Yeah, I hate that we are going to digital because I myself love to hold the physical copy in my hands. On the bright side though, We have another whole generation of consoles to enjoy buying physical games. All three consoles should do well this generation. Wii U will catch up as more first party games come along, just like with the 3ds.

LMFAO. Couldn't have said it better myself. Btw, you need to get on Borderlands 2 sometime soon.

I know there's a lot of hate for the Xbox One but I preordered one this weekend from GameStop. I'll also be getting a PS4 but not on launch day.

I very rarely buy physical copies these days unless it is for an older game on an older platform. I have played so many games in the last few years due to them being in an affordable and easy to aquire format that i'm really not bothered by things becoming digital.

I can understand that, I have a friend that feels the same way. He prefers digital to physical as well. I guess I'm speaking more from a collectors perspective.

Yeah, i get why people don't want to let go, i myself love to have cases/boxes with covers that portray awesome artwork and manuals that are beyond 5-6 pages of button layout and legal jargon. I just don't feel we get that anymore now that everything is just basically in a DVD case. :( Long gone are the days of nice big boxes and chunky manuals full of lore immersion.

I think those of us that grew up with cartridges would be most reluctant to move over to digital. That was like a real tangible thing you owned and had in your hands plus the label and box etc rather than just a disc in a CD or DVD case.

I will always buy physical over digital unless there's a huge incentive for me to try a game without investing so much money into it (Steam sale is great with this), I just don't see the point in buying digital at the same price as a physical copy.

New trailer for Ryse came out today. This game looks so damn amazing! Xbox One definitely has a pretty solid launch line up.

I actually have played less games these days that are 100% digital. For my lifestyle picking something up and putting a disc in, picking up a controller and turning the system on hold's a bit of meaning. 7 years ago I'd have said let physical burn, long live PC gaming (I install anyways whysoserious) but once I hit mid 30s... it is easy to forget about something hidden in a folder or menu when I can just hit the Netflix or hulu icon instead.

I won't be buying one still until late in the generation and when they pull Kinect from the sku or discount the shit out of the console. I don't think I could play more than 299 for it, its not that great of a hardware device for any more than that.

This fucker showed up today! Going to get down on some beers and Killer Instinct as soon as it's done updating.

Edit: Played Killer Instinct and Ryse so far. Killer Instinct is so much fun and has a great soundtrack. The graphics don't look that great at all imo, and it feels really bare bones content wise. They nailed the gameplay perfectly though and it's an absolute blast.

Ryse looks amazing!!! The combat is really bare bones but it's pretty gruesome and I'm really enjoying the game so far. Don't care what the reviews say I'm having a good time with it.

Two things I don't like about the system though. The Xbox Live dashboard is really clunky, and I do not like the new controller. The 360 controller felt so perfect, but this new one doesn't feel right to me.

For those unaware, THIS is how badly they are trying to rape your wallet in Forza 5: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=721448

If ANYONE defends this then... I loose hope.

Wow that is really shitty. :/ I'm enjoying Forza 5 but man wish I didn't buy it after seeing that.

I beat Ryse, I really enjoyed that game quite a bit. Aside from simple combat and some jerky animations it was a solid 8/10 game imo. Took me a little over 6 hours.

Dead Rising 3 is also really great. So many zambies!! O_O I'm enjoying it a lot more than Dead Rising 2, but I still love the original the best.

Killer Instinct is fun as hell I haven't had any lag in the 15 matches I played of it online. Needs more content though, even being a huge KI fan I can't see myself playing this for very long.

I only played 5 minutes of Crimson Dragon but it seemed kinda shitty :/ Doesn't feel as smooth as Panzer Dragoon Orta did.

I do not like the new dashboard at all since it's very bare bones and is clunky. It crashed just trying to load up my friends list :/ Installing games is also terrible compared to PS4. 1 hr and 15 minutes to fully install Forza 5, could play after 15 minutes. 45 minutes to install Dead Rising 3, could play after 15 minutes. 40 minutes for Ryse, could play after 20 minutes...PS4 seems to disguise this process a hell of a lot better than Xbox One does.
The new controller is also not comfortable to use at all.

Just to check my understanding: You still earn credits through racing as in the past games, and can spend these credits on cars as per usual. And the amount that these cost (in terms of 'earned in game credits') hasn't altered. They have basically made purchasing the cars before you have 'earned' them really really expensive. While this does at first look like a quick money grabbing scheme (and it will probably earn them a tonne of money) I don't foresee it effecting my experience with the games. I have always enjoyed the fact that you have to spend a tonne of hours putting in the effort to get to the top end of the cars, so in that sense I will just do that again.

Please someone correct me if i have the wrong end of the stick.

Am i the only one here that is unbiased about the Xbox one? haha, i mean yes i know what they have said in the past, but i'm not looking at the things that keep me down as a gamer.... I'm just looking at what games will define the new generation.

the XboxOne and the Ps4... even the Wii U is a sell for me when the time comes to get them.

Definitely! It's a really good fighting game it just needs more content. Story mode is also launching alongside Fulgore next month!
Spinal is so much fun to play as and I love his stage ^_^
