Alright. I went to Walmart and Gamestop today after my final to get some Christmas stuff. I went to check the games and I see the One on display, no demo. I finally got to hold the One controller... DAMN!!! This thing doesn't even feel like a controller, it feels like part of your hand. The d pad, LB/RB buttons feel improved, the lightness, I'll need to get used to the thumb sticks, but I do not see that as an issue. The most improved aspect of the controller IMO are the L and R triggers; it's like an instantaneous feedback. Wow...

I went to Gamestop and picked up a four games (two being Xbox One games) and the other two being Catherine (360) and The Last of Us. I also got to try out the PS4 controller. Vastly improved over the Dualshock 3, but I prefer the One's controller because I prefer the thumb stick layout. This gen is going to be amazing!

Has anyone been the Gamestop recently though? I just noticed this, but the Wii U section completely took over the Vita section and they no longer have a Vita section (wanted to buy Tearaway :( ) *This was for MY Gamestop location, not saying it was for everyone else's* I also bought two Xbox One games after my basement finding yesterday. Will upload pics of first Xbox One games purchases...

I completely agree with you, the X1 controller fits soooo perfectly. But the PS4 controller for me feels like I'm literally holding a rectangle. I don't like the symetrical thumbsticks at all and it makes my hand cramp after about an hour of playing at my friend's house. I do have my own DS4 though for when I possibly buy a PS4. I never really notice a Vita section in gamestop but the Wii U section is pretty huge.

Nice man, I love the Xbox One controller, Improved so much but now when I use my 360 controller it feels horrible lol, The feeling of it and the stiff thumbsticks compared to the Xbox One controller and the triggers and I have to use it for Fable Anniversary :( lol The Xbox One controller fits my hand perfectly aswell and the thumbsticks are in the best position

What Xbox One games you thinking off getting or are getting? 

Lol, I'm like that if I ever have to use the DS3 again (I use a Turbo'ed 360 controller for all PS3 games now).

I just uploaded a pic of the two game I bought, DR3 and Forza 5.

Will be getting/want: Ryse, Rayman Legends, Tomb Raider, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and a ton more. Witcher, Halo, Quantum Break, all future multiplats (due to my preference of the One controller).

Congrats! I'll be playing these as soon as Christmas hits too. My mom, sis, and girlfriend are forcing me not to buy X1 games until then lol

Nice, Ryse has a great story and Marius is badass :P, I will probably be getting Tomb Raider too since I didn't play the 360 version, definitely getting Quantum Break, Halo and most of the other exclusives and maybe the Witcher

Have you played Witcher 1 or 2? Do you know if I will need to play them two games to get the story cause I really cba and I've only saw the Witcher recently and now I want the Witcher 3 lol

fixed. Its a huge pet peeve for me lol

While those pics are amazing, the game itself is nowhere near that good looking. It's definitely one of the prettier X1 games but not as good as those pictures.

Nice on getting Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3. Im not really a big fan of Dead Rising so i havent played it yet but it does look a lot better than the other Dead Rising games. Im just not a big fan of arcade zombie games. I like it when there is more sense of danger like in ZombiU and State of Decay.

As for controllers yeah the XBO controller is pretty awesome :) It really did make my favorite controller even better than it was before.

I always hated PS controllers for the same reason. Analogs feel crammed in together but I havent really tried the DS4 so i cant say much about it. It looks like they took a lot of inspiration from the X360 controller though so that is good. They did spread out the analogs a little more which is also good. Wish they would have did an asymmetrical analog design but I think that would have been too big of a change for the hardcore sony fans.

None the less people have been bragging on X360 controller for years saying how it is better for shooters and such so im kind of surprised they didnt go asymmetrical instead. Now that the XBO controller has a real dpad it seems to have fixed its only real flaw.

Yeah.  I would also say if if you want to be really impressed with graphics then pick up Ryse.  Best looking game Ive seen on consoles.  Even on PC i would only put Tomb Raider and Far Cry 3 on the same level as Ryse.

But yeah Forza 5 is impressive.
