I love the look of the new Kinect and I like the idea of switching between everything seamlessly. New controller looks cool too and the games are looking good.
I do think I'll end up buying one at some point, probably in a year or so when it's a bit cheaper.
I'll get one of them in about a year, as well, when the bugs are fixed and there are more games out.
I got the 360 at launch - the initial systems were really, really loud, and I fell victim to the RROD twice. Once, it was within warranty and they repaired it for free, and the second time cost me $100, which I think is incredibly laughable because it's a massive, glaring error on their hand, yet I had to spend money for them to either fix it or send me a new one. I marked the second one with a marker, I think, and I sent in and they sent me a different system. Worked for the rest of my play time until I upgraded to the Slim.
There's no point diving into it now. They appear to be underwhelming, most of the exclusives are unimpressive, and the rest of the games are already on current gen systems. Just wait out the storm, save that money, avoid the bugs, and get it when it's a much better time to do so. When I get it, I want to get a fat stack of games with it. Besides, you know all these launch games will be much cheaper come next year, especially used copies of them. I'm already leaning towards the PS4: seems to be more popular, my PS3 complaints (when I had it) seem to have been remedied with this one, and I just don't like the layout of the XB1. Seems too bulky and obtrusive. Even the home page achievements list take up the entire page and it looks too bland to scroll through.
I'm thinking late 2014, around the latter half of November. That's when the others were released (2 and 3 anyway), so I think NaughtyDog will keep with that schedule. But we don't know how long this game has been in development, so maybe the release date will be quite different entirely.
That's a very good point. I guess we'll know more at E3 next year.
Apparently the game may be teased more at this year's VGAs, but since a trailer has already been released, I don't know if that rumor is correct. Someone will have to fill me in if such a tease happens during the awards, as I refuse to watch that drivel.
The teaser trailer consists simply of a voiceover from the main villain. Absolutely no game footage at all.
And it looks like that villain may somehow be Francis Drake himself. If anything, this game has me very excited as to where it will take us.
Blimey, where did you get that idea from? The guy speaks with an American accent for one thing. Unless you're suggesting he's a reincarnation.
How the hell could it be Francis Drake? The man's been dead for hundreds of years! If anything, I'm betting it's either someone that Nate screwed over in the past (accident or not) who will be introduced in a flashback, or possibly a relation to Nate.

Yeah, one of my favorite artists, Mr. Jim Lee posted this to his YouTube channel only a few days ago:
Is this the "blue light of death" that you speak of?
Everything that ships that is a console, game, etc. will always have problems, but some of them absolutely surpass my level of comprehension. How can things like this still happen? Sure, it only happened to 1% of them, but that's 10,000 units. Or games that release that are buggy and laggy for the first few weeks because developers didn't stress test or "think that the online community would be that big." C'mon, if you're making a AAA title that's been popular in the past, you know it's going to be popular!
Absolutely. I'm less and less interested in video games as the days go by. Never thought I'd grow out of them, but it's all so monotonous anymore: the same thing over and over by most franchises, nothing really wows me these days, and most games I anticipate end up turning into massive disappointments. I've always felt like I was 50/50 on what I preferred, films or games, but these days, it's definitely the former. I spend more of my free time watching movies than playing games.
So you'd just want it all to end then? I am a cynical guy, but I would never go that far. In the past few years alone I have played some of the greatest games I have ever had the privilege to experience. Art forms can decrease in quality over time, sure, but you always have those creators that show you great art can still exist. In gaming we have the likes of NaughtyDog, Rockstar and Rocksteady. In cinema you have people like Nolan, Abrams, Whedon, Tarantino, Fincher, Scorsese and so many more that show you great films that deliver brilliant messages and entertainment can still exist. Don't give up hope yet; I sure haven't.
I'm not saying end it, but where can we go from here? Sometimes, art just starts to fade.
Uncharted is good, but it has already started to get stale three and a half games in (though I've never played Golden Abyss). There's only a new GTA from Rockstar every five years, I saw a half an hour of LA Noire and it didn't interest me, never cared much for the Red Dead games. Arkham City was decent, but Arkham Asylum was boring and from what I hear, Arkham Origins is exactly the damn same as Arkham City.
Gaming as a medium is dominated by annual releases that were never good to begin with, but somehow keep getting sales figures in the billions. COD hasn't changed since COD2, except for the time period and who you're shooting. Battlefield, from what people tell me, just keeps getting worse. Assassin's Creed hasn't been interesting since Brotherhood. Sports games haven't changed since the g*ddamn 90s.
More and more, I keep going back to the games that I played from generations past. My PS1/PS2/GameCube/N64/Xbox games are played day in/day out, but my PS3/X360/Wii games? Once in a great while, or if I'm playing though a multigenerational series, of which some of those are even dying. Metal Gear has gotten one good game and one decent game this generation (and one PSP game) and a few ports of the older games. Resident Evil has fallen further and further away from everything that made it good. Driver has died. GTA, as I said, only gets one game every five years. Final Fantasy should either die or return to what made FFI-X good instead of just making the CG look better. When, may I ask, was the last time we really got a good Bond game? A lot of people say EON, and despite the fact that Blood Stone is my favorite, I'm inclined to agree with them.
Then you have new series. Assassin's Creed, as I said before, hasn't been interesting since Brotherhood, which was just the damn same as AC2. Uncharted was good, UC2 was good as well, UC3 was more of the same with a couple good flashback missions thrown in. Dead Space will likely die (in space), and I, sadly, don't even care. I liked Dead Island, but Dead Island Riptide was just the same with some boats thrown in (and a new character, I hear). Left 4 Dead is probably dead (though I hear L4D3 is actually in development, we'll see when we see, I guess), and the only thing keeping it installed right now are the mods I find on the Steam Workshop (I get a kick out of getting all the Pokemon mods, for some reason).
I started this generation out hopeful. I saw several series that I thought would grab me and hold me in their thrall, but I've been disappointed too many times across too many series that I've tried to fall in love with. Not many things make me lose hope. Gaming, unfortunately, has. I'll still stick with my tried-and-trues. I'll always buy new Metal Gear games. Somehow, Resident Evil won't dump me. If Doom 4 is ever released, I will play it (the odds keep getting slimmer...). Maybe the new generation of consoles will surprise me, and I truly hope that they do, because if they don't, gaming may just die for me.

that make me lose hope for the future of gaming.
That's incredibly disgusting. So a game that is already on current-gen is the highest selling? Unbelievable. What about the fanboys I heard shouting about how the new KZ was where it's at and why the PS4 is worth it, alone?
