one thing I do like about xbl is that it's seemingly a lot easier for users to find the gamertag of a rando they just played so you get a lot more salty/braggy messages when playing Madden.

I think it's actually illegal to sell any electronics not made in Brazil, so they have big black markets where you can buy illegally imported consoles.

Brazil is Trump's America in the future. Except replace gorgeous Latinas with flabby Germanic religious zealots.

re: old systems still getting games, I remember being weirded out back in 2006 when I saw Madden 2005 for PS1 in a Sears (speaking of obsolete poo poo). Apparently the PS2 kept getting them until 2012.

PS4s online system is barebones but is quick, snappy, and works.

Xbox is slow and glitchy, but flashy.

Both stores are rear end for different reasons. They should really learn from steam.

Both love menus on top of menus.

Psn needs a total modernization now that they are cutting ps3 loose next year but im not holding my breath. The xbox store is such a pain the poor console cant load all those pictures in a timely fashion at all. They should let you view it as a list or with images turned off.

i didn't say that. sorry to be vague. they are removing ps3 support from ps+, which is the first step to ending its services i suppose since theres no reason for ps3 only owners to keep paying them month on month anymore starting next spring

I'm considering buying an xb1x, but I'm confused about a lot of MS' weird policies. Does this new 'all games on xbox and pc' thing mean I'll be playing against people using mouse-aim? That sounds like a nightmare.

Only a few games like Killer Instinct or Gears 4 and it doesn't matter.

And that only counts for digital versions and only on the windows store so it's a very small amount of people.

Now when Halo and the new waves of exclusives ever comes out we'll see how bad it is.

Iirc some games ask console owners to opt into crossplay.

Also the rumormill says xbox will be getting m&kb game support very soon with official xbox hardware from razer coming too.

The opt in thing is cool, the m&kb support not so much. I play on console because I want to lay back in my recliner and chill out. I don't want to have to use some weird setup where I'm sitting behind a hospital tray. Hopefully they still allow you to opt out.

edit: guess it doesn't really matter since console users will be on kb&m too.

Eh, I'm still thoroughly enjoying FH3 so I don't really see the need to spend the space and bandwidth on the earlier game.

Did that one goon end up buying For Honor over Overwatch? Because drat if they picked For Honor I bet they are mad.

Do Xbox One X enhanced games often have better textures and effects, or is it usually a simple resolution jump?

^almost always better textures, more effects, and better frame rates along with at least 1800p.

For Honor is better than average for free games. Worth a shot at least.

The Playstation store is a travesty on the console itself.

Webstore is fine though.

If you're looking for something to re-download, you can do it from the Webstore itself and just hit the download button on the product page.

But yeah gently caress going through the download/purchase history. Thankfully external hard drives exist and you should have everything you own installed.

Literally never saw this in game, just read some dorks arguing about fighting :decorum: on Reddit.

And yes knocking people off walls/into pits is a huge part of the game.

I'm smart so I didn't buy a vita and what the hell does a PS3 game have anything to do with the PS4?

And why would I ever search for anything on either store. Both are rear end. I'd never have to randomly search for a game and it's easier to do it on a browser.

Or you could not be an idiot and just search for your game on the store and click on the "download" button that replaces the "buy" button if you own a game.
