@uninspiredcup: Growing up in the 70's I never realized how opening Cracker Jacks boxes never knowing what toy was inside was twisting my mind. How I ever grew up to be a morale person, raise a family, and own a successful business is a mystery.

Did these SJW gaming 'journalists' pay any attention to Gamergate? Do they have any idea how much credibility gaming 'journalism' has already lost?

Just make great games and report on how good the games are. Not some diversity quotient. Forget all of this PC BS. Outside of college gender study courses no one cares.

@Zerabp: . I am a PC gamer with a top of the line rig and 4K monitor. It would be great to be able to play with my friends that still play on consoles. But there would need to be some mechanism to level the playing field between the different mediums. It seems the higher frame rate, resolution, field of view, and all around better performance of the modern PC (as well as higher precision of KB and mouse) could lead to balancing issues. Especially if we are talking FPS. PC gamers already constantly whine that to many games are dumbed down for consoles. If they started limiting player options on the PC for cross platform play the PC elitists will never shut up.

@Takeno456 Hardline BETA was fun but it felt like an $ 20.00 expansion not a full price game. It also had all of the slow load and connection problems of BF3 and BF4. I skipped on BF4 (which felt like a BF3 expansion) and won't be buying Hardline.

@nbf4548 That was my thought. I often check out a game on You Tube to see if it is something I want or pick up pointers.

I much prefer the trend of delaying games over the trend of releasing broken games that the industry has been in.

@PixelAddict @youre_a_sheepTell that to the thousands of victims of the Blackshades RAT who had their webcams hacked.

I have been a fan of the GT series since it first came out on the PS1 but I agree with you Forza 4 was a much better game than GT5.

If it's not on your radar yet keep an eye out for 'Project Cars' coming out in November. From the previews I've been reading it looks like it might be the new racing sim to beat.

Unlike GT and Forza it will be cross platform coming out on XBone, PS4, and PC (good for me because I'm skipping this gen of consoles for the foreseeable future and sticking with PC.)

@Mercaptan Reading through the comments you're not alone. I probably haven't even played in the last month. I would like to see how the server traffic has dropped off since release.
