| What can I say? It's a great game all around. You can make roller coasters, theme parks, death camps...
Careful. The PLATT Collective has spurs.

| Well, the PS4 is hours away, so which console are you getting? Xbox One or PS4? I am getting- neither actually. I am already very happy with my PC. But if I really had to choose, I would choose the Xbox One. And I am not a fanboy nor insane, but really it has much, much better launch titles than the PS4.

Xbox One is a catastrophe. Massive day one update required to get most online functionality, internet connection required, restrictions on reselling and trading used games (unless they did a 180 on that too, like with some other awful features they had planned), among other problems that PS4 lacks.
I wouldn't buy either of them, because PC, nor could I pick one to buy if I had to because I really don't like consoles.

As I said, I am getting neither because I am a PC gamer and have been a PC gamer since 2004, my last console being the PS2 which was awesome nevertheless.
Actually, the PS4 also requires a day one patch. My 3 main problems with the Xbox One are:
1. Trading/Reselling games, as you said. I personally live in a country with a quite dire economic situation, so spending 50$ every time on a game is not really desirable. I remember, back in the early 2000 you could literally buy used games for as low as a few bucks (I am not even kidding), so it was much less intensive on the wallet than now. Now, I guess that wont be the case with the Xbox One
2. The constant internet connection that is required, as you said. I mean, seriously. Why would you need constant internet connection to play a single player game?
3. That kinect that is pushing the price of the console up to 500$. Sure, it has some nice features, but why are they literally shoving it down out throat? It could be an optional peripheral that you could buy if you want to, but not a mandatory feature that many will probably never use and that raises the price by 100$

| Salvo that looks really good! Is that a free game? I'd definetely play it!
So sad that apparently the release is ages ahead and it has already been in development for so long without being released for a demo
I will be inactive on this forum for the time being. Might come back eventually

Yeah, they was developing a game called Infinity, but developing stopped, now they are starting again with this engine, "I-Novae Engine" that will be used to make the game "Infinity: Battlescape"

That's what I'm sayin'. I've always been a PC gamer, and I usually go with Sony when it comes to consoles. Reason: ... *pulls out a can-o-worms and pops the tab* Microsoft stole Halo from PC and Mac. *grins oh-so-evily*
I love the I-Novae stuff. It'd be great to see a water video. This also looks like something I'd play, because I do enjoy Minecraft from time to time.

| Microsoft can definitely only make OS 
But don't think PS4 is much better... Blue Light of Death killed some PS4s just after 3-4 hours of playing...

| Openly announced today, No Man's Sky. Probably more "gamey" than SE is.
