The video review was spot on. Destiny's mechanics and breath taking world (repetitive) are second to none. Unfortunately, in order to play the game in you have to spend about 1/4 of your time on random forums trying to put together a team. When you take into account time zones, availability of time to play, character load outs and levels, etc. it is a miracle that you can actually go through and complete a raid in the intended manner. If Bungie wanted all of this to occur then they should have made in IN-GAME and should have included an intuitive IN-GAME clan system, similar to other MMOs.

The biggest short coming was not wanting this MMO to appear like it was an MMO. This hybrid model does not work. I'll give it about another month before I completely move on to another game. With that said, it was a lot of fun from a FPS genre game. Multiplayer is not as fun as the other FPS though.

Pretty much sums up the experience of Microsoft. I can't even log in to my account anymore. Microsoft is clunky and broken imo. I loved the 360 but the the PS 4 is doing what I wish the One would of done and just concentrated on making the ultimate gaming system. With all the problems that are accompanied with Microsoft in every facet of their existence I got to think someone would be crazy to want to "link" all their stuff to Microsoft.

It's so frustrating to want to be able to defend the One but not be able to because they don't give you any reason to.

Just my ranting.

Well the 40 bucks for a game is fair if it is a great game. Sadly there won't be a ton of great games immediately. And to pay that for a dog and cats game or something like that is insane to me.

I just bought Assassin's Creed 2 because my friend always talks about what a great game it is, so I figured I'd give it a go. But I have never played the first one, nor do I know anything about the story line. Can you fill me in on what I need to know or is it important to beat the first one before the second?

The system looks pretty good from what I can tell. I still quesiton the functionality that it will have for games, I don't want it to turn into a one of those things where it has 3d capability, but there's no reason to enable it. I home that it isn't the main factor of games as well because in the end they still have to produce well put together games, not just gimmicky 3d puzzles.

I have the same problem. Mine is on the 360 Slim 250GB, bought 9/1/11.

I have guessed maybe something to do with being too cold, since it started doing it when it was really cold in my basement.

You're right it is pretty expensive for a hand held. But there probably won't be a price drop until the PSP 2 is getting ready to launch later this year. And even then I don't see a massive price drop, so I figure there is no reason to wait if I'm going to get it.

I nice pre-order package deal with a game would be nice though! lol

Will GameStop typically exchange a defective console less than 6 months from purchase if no additional warrenty was purchased? Or do you have to send it away to MS?

If so, where? I haven't seen any special items or deals on pre-ordering the 3DS as of yet. Usually GameStop or Walmart have something though.
