Damn I'm feeling nostalgic, SO reminds me of JSR so much.

Part of the reason I'm excited for SO



Around the Network

I know some people don't like Rich from ReviewTechUSA (as he comes across as being a pc elitist) but I cant help but think this generation is going to be short in comparison to previous ones. Explained in the video, its a bit long. Whilst the main argument is about gimping the pc hardware to match the console variants of the game (no view on that) the other sub argument is the fact that ps4 and x1 are already outdated with the Evil Within even sub hd on x1.....

I have a x1 and don't really are about graphics that much, but if this is true I worry when devs have to cut the amount of AI on the screen and limit open worlds to compensate for the hardware at present. Hell look at ac unity,

I can't say I'm fond of Rich, sure I watch his videos from time to time and yes he does come off as a PC eletist even when he throws out the "I'm not" excuse each time (which he shouldn't have to if he'd stop acting like a pompus git every time he speaks because he talks in an insulting tone a lot of the time) but he does have a point on the lower end hardware which I can't help but feel for Sony,MS and Nintendo, as far as I'm aware they had a choice deal between AMD and Nvidia only Nvidia was apparently asking for more and we know of the recession and how much money Sony lost and had to shed dead weight and I'm not so sure on MS and Nintendo but all 3 seem to have chosen the deal with AMD which in the end hasn't really worked out too well for them since it's cheaper this gen to create their consoles but at the same time they aren't exactly 100% giving it their all and there's not much "untapped" power to bring from them either, we've already seen all 3 make some sort of sacrifice in order to gain something else in return, I just think Nvidia was being unreasonable with their deal considering they sell their GPU's at a higher cost isn't a secret when comapred to AMD GPU's, I know you get more bang for your buck but wouldn't it be more ideal to get more bang but not so much buck?, I feel as if people would buy from them more often if their lineup was more affordable instead of going in the £500-1000 range with the weaker cards being the cheapest, maybe then the deal with the big 3 would have happened and we would be seeing less crap being flung and less sacrifices.

I do feel this generation will be short though, there's no way we can go on like thos for another 7-8 years of parity clauses, people gimping one another, two consoles failing with only one winning, it doesn't sound like we have many choices when only one out of 3 are successful, those that say complete Sony domination is a good thing are wrong because then there's only one choice and we as a species will always prefer multiple choices and options to choose from, having one means those same people would agree with having a one world government which we all know is a very bad thing.





Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I myself am going for a new rig model by Jan/Feb time with the help of my tax rebate since Xmas shopping will kill my initial savings, will most likely grab an XB1 MCC bundle by late Feb/march if I'm extremely lucky.

SO from the 1hour gameplay vid if you do everything in Sunset Overdrive it should last from 10 to 14 hours.

Is that just the main storyline? Because it looked like there was a ton of side content in Sunset Overdrive based on the achievements, I think the achievements mentioned 800+ collectibles.


To be frank the guy wasn't too sure I think he took a guest. 10hours to do every thing including side missions is kind of low if you ask me. 



Isn't a Dead Rising special edition coming out? If so does anyone know when?
Also if you haven't played it I highly recommend it.



man, master chief collection is absolutely dominating on amazons charts. even at gamestop.
hopefully, it moves a fair amount of xbox one units.
