Also wait...people actually play FPS games on console?Jeez,that must take alot of practice.

Former Halo Reach nutter here. It's really not that hard.

Um, as for the FPS...Bioshock and Fallout are easy enough on console though...Will have to see how Wolfenstein handles though...

Unless you´re talking about the original Wolfenstein 3D, which I btw play on and off on my Compaq Presario 520 (Windows 3.11), you´re not talking about the real Wolfenstein.

Actually the new Wolfenstien looks amazing...like brilliant and hillarious!

Also true wolfenstein?You mean Return The Castle Wolfenstien right?

I´m sure it looks great. Haven´t checked it out though.


No, I mean the original that came out in 1992. I have a demo of the first eight floors. Don´t have the whole game unfortunately

Used to scare the bejeezus out of me for some reason.

I used to be freaked out by CyClones and that game isn´t scary at all. I guess it was the whole 3D thing making me feel like I was really being hunted by those aliens. Now however I´ve played Doom 3 and the torch has been passed on.

for me, gaming is better on console. Partly because there are no compatibility issues and crashes/freezing are extremely rare.

It is also becoming more and more common to require always online or steam for PC games, which is annoying.

But if there are compatibility issues and crashes/freezing or things like the Abomb, there´s always a solution for the PC which is the main reason I still play with Lothran


I agree 100% there. Online requirements makes me mad!! But online activation and such for the console isn´t an impossibility either. Maybe the new Xbox or the one after that will force you to be online when playing too

The new Xbox One was going to have an always online requirement but the fan reaction was so negative that they backtracked pretty quickly. Looks like for the next 5-6 years consoles will still be free of this annoying requirement in which you never really own your game.

I thought the only thing they backed down on was the "No used games" thing, but I could be wrong.

They've backed down on pretty much everything expect you have to buy the kinect,you don't NEED it on and plugged in anymore but they don't sell a XBOX without the kinect which is stupid,because if they put out a 100 dollar less XbOne then there's not much diffrence between it and the PS4

Well, I'm glad they backed down on the other crap though. I personally do not like the idea of putting listening and viewing devices attached to the internet and having them running in any room of my house period, the idea that you had to keep them on just so you could clap or speak to them makes no sense at all in anyone's house that has children/pets/a spouse/a life. They are going to talk/meow/bark, and the XBox is going to immediately try to figure out what command they just gave.

Examples:

1. Dog makes a muffled yip while scratching flea:

XBox: "Did you wish to play a game?"

Dog hears strange voice coming from bedroom - "WOOF WOOF WOOF!" Household is woken up.


2. Husband to wife:

"Come on, baby..."

XBox: "Excuse me, did you wish to play a game?"


3. Mother to household:

"Shhh. Don't make a sound, I finally got the baby to sleep..."

XBox: "IF YOU WISH TO PLAY A GAME, YOU MUST SPEAK LOUDER! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

Well you don't have to use the kinect,what I mean is they're only going to sell an XBOX/kinect package,which is useless if you don't use the kinect.

Unless you´re talking about the original Wolfenstein 3D, which I btw play on and off on my Compaq Presario 520 (Windows 3.11), you´re not talking about the real Wolfenstein.

Microsoft or hackers (pervs) listening in to your house or watching your kids sleep, etc.

Oh I am not sure not everyone in the NSA are pervs. They only watch us in our bathtubs to keep us safe from terrorism!

Legitimate valid concerns.

Y'ALL ARE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS!!

Oh, wait. It turns out they were completely right...I'd like to exchange my 'security' for my freedom, please.

Yes much like their Xbox360 slim's "touch eject and power button" feature. All you've got to do is lightly touch it to turn it on rather than push it, which seems like an alright idea until you actually own one. Every time you clean it your console will have a seizure in which your Xbox will turn off and on while simultaneously opening the disc drive because you brushed over the power/eject sensor. Sure you can unplug it but it is annoying just trying to dust the thing off because if you don't unplug it then it goes nuts.

Also, hopefully any household pets are never curious about the noise it is making. My dog and cat have turned off my Xbox on me a half dozen times while I was playing, sometimes when I hadn't saved for hours. Innovative indeed.

The power button for my current gaming rig is on the top of the case, rather than the bottom. Thanks to this my cat has habit of turning my computer off every time she jumps on it.

I remember the original Wolfenstein 3D! Mein Leben!

I'm replaying the Mass Effect series over, starting at the first one. My FemShep is HOT!

And has good voice-acting...

I prefer MaleShep because of how blank his voice acting is.

-snort-

I remember playing through as maleshep and it was a crucial moment and his voice was so MONOTONE. It irritated me!!!!

It is because he's so cool that he doesn't care about being emotional.

And here I thought it was because they hired a crap voice actor to do his lines...

I can get immersed playing as a man. Female gamers have been doing it forever. Then again, we had no choice. The first time I could choose being a man or woman, I chose woman. It blew my mind, lol.

I don't like forced sausage. Consensual sausage tastes much better XD

Oh the voice actor is far from crap.

I play as Male Shep because I can't get as immersed if I play a female...since ya know...I'm not a female.

Right, I've heard bad voice acting and Mass Effect doesn't have it. Two Worlds has terrible voice acting as do almost all of the Final Fantasy games.

I think Mass Effect's male voice acting is just like it is supposed to be and most males actually like his macho attitude.

Oh god...Two Worlds....so bad it's good.

Also Final Fantasy 12 tried something diffrent and hired REAL Theatre actors and actresses and the game was meh but the voice acting was astonishing.

I like Two Worlds but some of the voice actors sound like confederate soldiers and not characters in a fantasy game.
