Space Opera with robots, I have no idea why Gundam keeps getting made repeatedly and retold using the same character stand-ins. There is always the same um, story being told in the exact same way with different names on the character archetypes, like Gundam is the poster child for copy and paste if there ever was one. As much as I like cool sci fi robot battles, the writers for Gundam need to write something original, this crap is so overused that all the shows are blending together. Cue the losers from previous war wanting to fight tyranny of whoever is ruling, and why rulers in these shows are always oppressive is beyond me(Perhaps Japan is trying to send a message eh?) Introducing a special pilot out of the rabble, who is better than the entire antagonist force and they are the underdogs and then the bad guys get an upgrade and the hero gets taken down a peg but comes back with his own upgrade, in the background the musings of the superfluous plot since it's the same crap from the past 13 Gundam stories. In these battles some of the smaller relationships reach culmination and a lot of people die espousing true feelings that will never be realized, wtf? Talk about epic soap opera nonsense, what was the point of continuously having folks saving their true feelings just before death, is that something great, it's not particularly interesting to see happen again and again you know. Gundam: Cliche Trope Collection.

Best thing about Gundam is the mechs, screw everything else since it's rinse and repeat political jargon that majority of viewers won't even get aside from only the strong get to push the weak around.

@Sevenizz: Eh, no it's not. Fortnite took that crown easily from PuBG. Other than Battle Royale what does PuBG have? Fortnite has battle royale and some sort of construction madness that players seem to love because there are always streams of this damn game in the 4k range on PSN. You should look up what genre defining means before using it without proper consideration for what is actually doing something different. Battle Royale isn't a new thing either.

@nativepixel: What does that have to do with what he said? PS4 is still a larger userbase than Xbox which is the point. More people to sell it to means more money to be made. Logic over whatever it is you are going on about. If selling a crap ton on PC means it doesn't need to appear anywhere else then why did they even think about bringing it to consoles in the first place?

While I liked the first game because it had direction regardless if the story was you killed my brother trope revenge type thing, you had an objective. Crew 2 went full Forza Horizon 2 with this festival type thing and getting social stuff which seems to me from my time in both Beta's mean nothing at all. I looks convincingly pretty but other than being able to switch at will between the types of vehicles the game for me was boring. It's just really empty, I mean painfully so. I enjoyed driving across vast swaths of land in the original but this game I couldn't muster up the effort even in the faster than sensible Saleen S7 TT. Boat racing is a nice change of pace, although the AI will cheat a lot on water, they do so on all surfaces, but highly noticeable on the sea. This game is for those who don't care about being focused on what the game wants you to, it's really scatterbrained to me.

The audio is also a mixed bag of something funny. RB14 sounds like, uh, not sure but definitely not a F1 car. Most vehicle audio is muffled as if you were outside a club and you can head the bass bumping through the walls but couldn't make out a single lyric. I see people getting bored of this way ward gameplay pretty fast. There is no incentive to do anything other than ooh I want that car, then off you go doing multiple discipline races/stunts to get money and then once you get the coveted vehicle you can go put on useless visual upgrades or slap on a premade livery or craft your own abomination. I'm all for Ubisoft taking another stab at the game but this isn't much better than the previous, it actually feels worse. Cars still sport some strange mix of simulation and arcade handling that ping pongs between the two at delicate times, usually with disastrous results. They should have stuck with a more arcade handling, I mean come on these cars are making leaps that would decimate suspensions and the car themselves you want to throw realism at me, try the next one. The whole social thing should have been something you can undertake separately from the main game as a way to grow your presence and earn the right to partake in legitimate sanctioned races in each discipline but whatever. It should have also let you be more than that voiceless driver from God knows where, add in a more GTA Online feel of I own this and while I'm not necessarily racing around I can hop in my car and drive down to the meet up spot and hang out showing off cars and whats under the hood.

They have a good open world to start with but it needs populating with things to do and they need a narrative or sorts to drive you. GTA Online was make something of yourself by any means available to you, this game is race and get likes, not sure if you can even lose them for poor performances so the audience is like Pavlov's Dog.

Side Note why do all the characters dress like hipsters, what's with the skin tight jeans on nearly everyone?

@texastitan123: Please do not bring such stupidity into the conversation, MS the corporation is fine, Xbox Division isn't what you'd call a shining beacon of revenue for MS, also Xbox is from a division withing MS and they have a budget to adhere to. If they had unfettered access the Xbox One would have been a top of the line device made to sell to the masses and MS absorb the loss, but that doesn't happen now does it?

Seriously the quip about Nintendo sells lots of gaming devices for kids, that's funny and screams elitist bias which in full of incorrect information. Switch isn't a kids device but a device for everyone, unless you think it's mainly kids buying and using these things. Tons of gamers are older adults.

@neoistheone: You would welcome paying to be essentially a Beta tester on a game just so you can get it for half price? How the hell is that a good deal for you? They stand to make millions off the less buggy game and you only get to get half off the price of admission. Wow corporations need more people like you, they can make you pay for their QA while also making millions off selling the completed product as well. You know this is ridiculous right?! Actual Beta testers get paid to find bugs and problems, you are paying to do their jobs for free. No thanks I won't subscribe to enslavement that I have to pay money out my pocket to do something for free.

@bosay831: Free product testing and they actually paid the developer to be guinea pigs, GTFOH. You enjoy that non gift all you want, I'll only play free Betas to give feedback before spending my hard earned cash on any game. You lost sight of how trade works to be talking this nonsense.

Oh, but guess what it's still Master Chief and Cortana versus the Covenant/Flood and some other alien lifeforms bent on destroying humans for arbitrary reasons and they employ their enslaved minions to do the dirty work. Let's see how ambitious it gets, I bet it'll be literally Halo one remastered.

@milehighbossman: Dude looking better doesn't translate into sales, so it's a pointless argument to have. I have all the systems and One X is definitely the most powerful, but best place to play is subjective at most and a lie at best. The larger userbase of the PS4 guarantees that you'll have more players there at any given point in time. The One X like the Pro isn't flying off shelves so those perceived differences will pretty much be missed by the bulk of both userbases in question. You guys are funny with your biased sideways argument just to heap praise on your favorite company. How about that company deliver some fresh new IP or at least games people want to play. I mean aside from Halo and Forza and to a lesser extent Gears, Xbox One has almost nothing going for it. They have released some middling titles with tons of hype but debuted like a wet fart in an empty auditorium, namely Quantum Break, no one is even remembering that title at all, not even Iceman could help it. Flurry of cancellations and closures and then the delays of titles and their cloud computing BS. Stop the crap, EA only trying to get as much out of the One as they can for it's own coffers and MS paid them some change to market on the One X. Do you really believe that the marketing is going to spur 10 million in sales for this game?

One X has a host of things that make it far better than PS4, but I still don't game on it since I can care less about old games, I bought my console to play new games the hell i look like touting 10+ year old titles as being a great thing(where's my new fun titles MS? Where's my damn Scalebound?). Reaching is what defenders of that is, it would have been a heavy blow if the console originally launched with that in tow, but it took them getting handily trounced in every market before they got all panicky. MS will never learn, they do the same things the same way every damn time, late to market in a fledgling or new market (Windows Phone) and having the audacity to demand gamers go all digital at their behest and lose all common purchaser rights with it(EA were cheering with them back them the sycophants). Sony only watched and then said, we're gonna do what we been doing all this time, here play your games and to hell with the extra fluff that isn't gaming focused.

Doing the maths, we can see that this marketing deal only benefits EA as the game is going to be available on all consoles and when one console has a +50 million userbase to sell to, you bet that Sony wasn't going to fork over any money to EA. So MS is the sucker that bought bragging rights after the people already made their choice, too little too late. I have all the consoles and the One X gets played the least, since well I doesn't have much in the way of play this here games on it at all. What was the last exclusive on the X that was actually great experience? So much lacking in the 1st party department, spend all that money on pointless things only to turn around and then start crowing about investing in 1st party games...wtf? MS as usual doing things hamfisted when everyone else simply finesses it and then after they exhausted all dumb ideas they have an epiphany; perhaps finesse is great and preach that to their followers as if it's a revelation and they came up with it first.

Bait and switch should be the tag line MS should advocate, I mean the cloud computing, Kinect 2, cancelled games and best of all the best place to play...all vaporware and unicorn farts. What's funny is the defenders always trying to lay blame elsewhere but not with MS themselves and their stick in the mud business and make money at all costs mantra. I mean come on the most anticipated game out of them was Scalebound, it looked like nothing else out and yet get cancelled and then the rabid fanboys start complaining about Platinum Games wasting the money, yet their B team crafted Nier: Automata? Yea right, Platinum Games is made up of veterans, I mean did you see Bayonetta 2...when you are so blinded by devotion you start speaking utter lies in defense of your religion. Or their ridiculous notion that Rise of Tomb Raider was funded by MS, no it wasn't it was only published by MS which was the deal, it was going to be made regardless and when it was released on PS4 it promptly outsold the Xbox version...so Square got money out of MS for a game that was going to be made anyway and still sold more on the generation leading PS4. It's as if reality doesn't exist for a rabid fans.

Another thing is MS is so secret squirrel about everything relation to sales of any of their in house titles of late. Try finding figures of Forza 7 sales, good luck. It's about as hard as finding figures for Xbox One sales to date(if you believe EA's take it's around 30 million). If things are going well why are you being secretive, I can't wait to see the defense of this with lines like "why do you care about sales, you a stockholder?" or "sales doesn't mean the quality isn't good, look at CoD" Lol. Lies and twisting of truth.
