You got a PS4... didn't you xD

Lol, no. 

Only reason I said, is because you've stated how you planned to buy a PS4 to sell for an Xbox One, lol. Still funny.

Been debating on which one to get. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze or Thief. Which one do you all think? My first love from rare or one of my fav genre's, stealth.

Get Donkey Kong.

Less money, plus it's already getting very high scores, which will most likely continue. Plus, show U some love :(

Thief to me, seems like a rental if I were to buy it. I'm biased because I have no interest in Thief though xD

Plus, you can never go wrong with your first love; 4th grade taught me that.

I'm not a big Nintendo fan so I'd definitely choose Thief between the two. I was highly impressed by Eidos Montreal's last stealth game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Thief looks almost as good so far. Plus you get gamerscore with Thief, which is a big bonus if you're a gamerscore whore like me, lol. And I say this as someone who played the first Donkey Kong Country on Game Boy Advance, it was ok but Nintendo's platformers never appealed to me like Sonic did (I spent alot more time playing Sonic Advance on my GBA than Donkey Kong Country).

Not going to lie, I say this with 100% no BS, this is a very good point (for people like us, lol). Boggles my mind why Ninty hasn't implemened this. I know it's non-important for some, but I feel it adds so much replayability to games.

Although... there was a point in my life where achievements dicated what I played. You never want to go that far though. Because before you know it, you're playing a bunch of crap games you regret years later to have played and are now a permananet reminder on your Gamerscore... "No, uh, my friend/sister played that game" xD

I agree, I'd go for Donkey Kong... if only I owned a WiIU right now :'(

Well I told you on Skype, but for me Donkey Kong just looks more interesting. Thief looks fine, but more like something I'd wait for a Steam sale for.

 

As for Ground Zeroes.. really? A 2-4 hour campaign for $30-40? No thanks. My interest in MGS has been declining since MGS2, so I really don't mind the wait until Phantom Pain comes out.

lol I feel a little ashamed by saying this but it's one of the reasons why I'm just not feeling the Wii U as much, albeit a minor thing. I still play games that don't have them but I can't help to think what it could've been with them. I'll never play something like Hannah Montana for achievements like some people lol but still it's a bonus I'd like to have.

I agree. Im not an ahievement whore but i still like achievements.  Nintendo not adding them yet has upset me.  Would love to be able to get some klind of achievement system on 3DS and WiiU.

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes 4 hours Long

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/02/04/march-cover-revealed-2014-3151321.aspx

"We had four hours of exclusive hands-on time with Ground Zeroes, which we used to play through the main mission and experiment with extra modes."

 

Dang, 4 hours is really disappointing...it better not be more than $15-20 if that's the case.

$40 for next-gen, $30 for last gen. Apparently another journalist that got to play it beat it in 2 hours. Konami is really sticking it to gamers it seems. It'll be a rental for me, I'm definitely not going to pay that much, even if a preorder does get you a playable Raiden mission.

Wow I guess I won't be buying it. Isn't it digital only? If not I'll definitely Gamefly it but I'm fairly certain it's digital only.

Oh lol, I could still do that actually. Although I see PS4s more readily in stock now so I probably won't make much of a profit off of selling one anymore, but I could still trade the PS4 for a One.
