My quality has been fine. I'll show stuff I recorded using Game DVR via the iPhone's Smartglass app, and they all look great.

But you'd have at least two controllers anyway, just because you'd need a second to have someone else join. It's not like it was an added expense just for convenience.

And they place mega high bounties, too. I'll often see $¼billion bounties placed on people.

PS3 controllers lasted an incredibly long time without needing a recharge. There was never any worrying to be done, especially since you could easily turn one off and turn on another and easily have it know it was 'you'. Xone should have gone this route.

It's simple. Your save is corrupted, and since they don't let you rotate between multiple saves you're stuck starting over since there's no longer a disaster recovery mechanism. I know they all think they're 'doing us a favor' by taking manual saving control away, but I'll happily save manually all the time to avoid this. Christ, I had over 500 Skyrim saves.

I agree, it does seem to shut off randomly and then work fine for several more hours. Sometimes it even seems it shuts off for such a brief period of time that you lose control for the merest fraction of a second without the controller fully powering down. But if you online playing Ghosts, that's still an eternity.

As for the Game DVR, I'm mostly okay with the five minute limit since if I see a video is more than about two minutes I likely won't bother watching, so I don't want to record that long, either. The main waste for me is no auto upload to YouTube, which should have been the no. 1 focus.

In Forza 5, I'm glad the races aren't too long. I don't need career mode being a time suck of qualifying and long races.

And delays to stuff like Watch Dogs didn't help :(

There's no way Top Gear guys could ever be considered "annoying"…

The only way GTA IV is better than V is the multiplayer, which is now a convoluted mess of Rockstar trying to force you to do the things they want you to do, rather than the simple way to easily do the things you wanted to do that IV was. For the campaign, neither is really hands-down better than the other.
