@El_Zo1212o: Man, Gun and Red Dead Redemption are not the same thing... not even close. Gun was made by Neversoft and published by Activision and Red Dead Redemption was made by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games. At least you could put your facts straight and say that Red Dead Redemption is the spiritual successor of Red Dead Revolver... I hope you learned something.

Now back to the topic. True next game engines will eventually start to arrive next year (or in the next one) and they will use the resources of the Next-Gen consoles.

It's a metaphor.

Gun was fun but rather ugly at launch. A few years in, we get a masterpiece like RDR. The point being that no console has it's best offering out of the gate, but rather they start slow and build up over time.

This.

To be blunt, if anyone feels "ripped off" buying a new console early in it's release, it's their own fault. Launches have never been proving points of system capability. We usually won't start seeing that until 6-12 months into the consoles lifespan. History has shown this. So if anyone feels jaded for buying a console at or near launch it's their own fault for not doing the research.

5 minute clip of me having a fairly decent run in BF4. Highlights include an unnecessary but fun c4 kill at the start, a blind grenade toss that ends up successful, a little knifing spree, and a player trying to knife me back resulting in failure.

"Fairly decent"? Seriously? I have never made a run that good in any game. If I can keep my kill to death ratio at 1:1 I feel like John Rambo for corn's sake.

To be fair, while I really wish I could say that it is, what you saw was not a common occurrence. Also that was only 5 minutes of a 25 minute round, and the start of the game was pretty rough for me. That said I'll take what you said as a compliment :)

From :08 to :11 was one of those times I'm glad an enemy wasn't in front of me, because I sure wasn't paying attention to where I was going.

On a side note I do hope Sony has something in the works so you can broadcast these clips in places other than facebook, and I hope they improve the video quality a little. While everything looks fine when I play and even preview the clip, the brightness in particular is horrible.

PS4 get!

Must have went up to gamestop at the right time. Went up to trade some things in and when asked if I wanted anything else, I jokingly said an xbox one or PS4, whichever they had. Next thing I know a PS4 is plopped in front of me.

So I'm having fun with BF4. Playing in a 64 player server makes things insane! I'm going to have fun with this, even if I do suck.

Also GS's review isn't up but you don't need a crystal ball to see that they're gonna give it an 8.0 like every other 3ds game

You never know, they could very well give this game a 9 or higher.

.......and I could try saying that with a straight face, but it's pretty difficult to do.

In all seriousness if everything about the game is rock solid, I could see them giving it the same score as Fire Emblem(8.5)

My daughter suffers from similar issues. I'm really sorry you guys are having to deal with that. I hope you can find some relief or perhaps a cocktail of meds? I don't mean that to be insulting or anything. Genuine empathy.

I probably have the same issues they do. I get really edgy in crowds and tend to keep a majority at arms length. My divorce years ago only elevated that personality. After that, plus some people I knew going to similar issues, I pretty much thought "The hell with it." and I have pretty much been a hermit ever since. Gaming has always been a consistent in my life, and while I don't game nearly as much as I used to it's still a security blanket, of sorts. It's still a lot of fun, but I also know I use it to essentially hide from the world.

Very little. The times I do it is only for brief stretches. I'm guessing it is because my vision is god awful, but I start getting headaches using the 3D even on the XL model.
