Yeah i am listening to that part, i don't really know that much or have that big of an interest in that game tbh. I am not the biggest FPS fan. I got a few i buy, but mostly i play other genre's more tbh

battlefield is very good. so much so the success of cod is baffling.

this evolve game, i'd have to play it to understand it. it was on the front cover of my copy of gameinformer, that was how i found out about it. but i welcome new and fresh things, like daffodils.

edit: if microsoft do moneyhat titanfall, i just hope they include their windows platform. sometimes i wonder if they have forgotten about their OS users. well, they remembered at least that we have income :P

@CrownKingArthur: I think evolve will some amazing polish and some real sensible forward thinking co op... There is a lot of reason to be excited for that one...

Battlefield, I actually don't play, of course I don't play CoD either... not for any reason, just wont get 60 dollars out of them so I wait till the drop most oft. Still, I think they're both very accomplished franchises that give reason to be loved.

As for titanfall, yeah, it'll stir up some dust if MS locks that down at some point.... honestly though, thats a fat pile of money EA would be leaving on the table Id imagine.

@TheEroica: i guess with titanfall it will be a double edged sword for microsoft. the more successful titanfall is, the more money EA could demand for future exclusivity. but if i had microsoft's amount of financial liquidity, and titanfall did very very well, i would pay anything. its not every day you could buy something titanic. so, from ea and MS' perspective, i guess they will both want titanfall to be as awesome as possible.

one thing i will say about battlefield 4, for a lot of people it must have been the most expensive video game ever that didn't work properly. so many people bought premium because ... well... if it's your go to game every day, it's good value. but crikey, over 100 american dollars for a game which didn't work properly for about two weeks. unacceptable in my opinion.

yeah i'll keep my eye on evolve, i hope that totalbiscuit gets to play it soon. i find him very fair.

Either way it shakes out everyone stands to make money of the game, if done to a high level, which by all accounts is whats happening.

Oh, yeah

Also I love how AC4 totally retconned Eroica's take on Ass Creed. If he completely ignored AC4 and didn't play it, no way in hell was he not going to say the words AC3 was such shit(instead he sugar coated it). The entire narrative changes on one game. Cray.

@jg4xchamp: AC3 was supposed to be stairway to heaven in my backyard... Instead it was like an Orchestra of beginner band students trying to make a note not sound like cat rape. Is it a playable game? Yeah, but it fails both on its content (don't remember my history books claiming G. W. to be such a vag) and it never once approaches the assassin's Creed feeling of never ending things to do... Just shifty Tarzan fetch quests.

The game damn near broke me....

That said, I can go back at this point in an ac4 world and just call ac3 what it is, a terrible assassin Creed game and at best a passable action game.

Narrative wise, well... I wanted to believe we were going somewhere grand with the battle between the temples and assassin's, and I quietly kept candlelight vigil every night, but alas... Full out oceans 12. Thing is, I actually like what the did to ac4 and those who stayed invested in the narrative were rewarded with several nuggets of info throughout ac4... But that's like being excited to know the back story of saved by the Bell at this point.  

I criticize because I care....

@getyeryayasout: yeah... It probably could be done. Blab and I talked last week and we're just going to shift talk away from spoiler content all together. Last week, this week and next week I believe are the last of the episodes we had recorded when blab and I chatted... We definitely don't want people getting games spoiled, so it's onus to clean it up a bit.

We do ask people, like for this weeks MS state of the union cast we're doing. I got some MS supporters lined up to talk. We love to have new people on and everyone always says they've had a great time after being on.

Hey I get it. I'm just saying it's funny how one game can ruin the entire legacy of a series or swing it.

Because AC3 came out, and suddenly it was like AC2 and the love parade for that game(not you necessarily) never happened. It was a figment of everyones imagination. But then AC4 cames out, and it's like yeah man AC3 the only stinker. When that should have been the narrative from the get go.

@jg4xchamp: yeah good call... I'm still shocked that ubi was able to pull that franchise to such Heights one installment after the flop that ac3 took. Of course we've seen this done before from ac1 to ac2... I actually really enjoyed ac1, but 2 was from another planet by comparison... Ac4 felt the same.

The narrative is in a far better place at this point I agree... Because they can just call it what it is, a yearly series that isn't taking itself too seriously as having a specific end game... Other than the conflict between between the plans and assassin's feeling entirely sterile I can live with it.

Asis at its best narrative wise when they go heavy on conspiracy iimo

@jg4xchamp: champ, my bad... I partly misunderstood what you were saying... Yes yes, the backlash against the series itself after ac3 rested purely on that game being shit, despite ac2 and quite honestly brotherhood, being superb.

I borded the hype train for ac3 full force and it did concern me about the future of the franchise... Thankfully ac4 exists to at least give me hope for another year.

Bottom line is the court of public opinion among gamers is a fickle unsatisfied and ever changing bitch...

freedom makes a good point about the rules here. they are too relaxed and arbitrary. often i see the same people losing arguments, reminds me of this quote:

"When you have the law on your side, you argue the law. When you have the truth on your side, you argue the truth. Otherwise - you bang the table!"

and i see a lot of table bangers here in system wars.

i think we should be able to say shit, i'm apathetic about '****', i don't have a problem with it myself but other people might not want to read that.

i don't think people should be able to call each other names to incite butthurt.

'you're an idiot' (1)

versus

'that idea is silly because ...' (2)

in the case of 1, what kind of response can they get? probably an insult back, because that first insult furthered the discussion about zero metres. in the case of 2, it's possible that the response either convinces the other person their position is well thought out, or maybe simply clarifies it, and people leave it at that, or maybe elicits another response, when in turn convinces that original respondee - basically it keeps the discussion going as a discussion as opposed to turning it into a pissing contest regarding who can produce the most creative insult - i suggest personal attacks fall outside the scope of the system war.

obviously, this is just a post from CKA. but i just wanted to mention i know gamespot is not a democracy, but judging from the reaction on the podcast it seems more involved posters want tougher rules.

i wonder why? maybe it's because the more involved posters never wanted to insult anyone anyway - i feel like "we" don't need to be told the rules. "we" want the rules to be there to keep out people who don't want to discuss the system war eg: people who just want to cause attempt to butthurt through a keyboard and computer screen. seriously, if you are one of these people - buy a guitar and post a bit less. (but seriously, don't get a cheap copy of a fender strat. the pickup buzz under distortion will drive you batty. )

if i can help to affect any change, i will. yours sincerely, CrownKingArthur.
