Inside......Me....
Injustice is the best fighting game I have ever played. The story in single player was awesome. Wish I didn't own it already on PS3 and PS4 so I could get it free and be happy about it. Played KI at a party, was p fun but IMO no where close to Injustice.

E: Also, this is the best thread. The last 3 days in hospital waiting for surgery you guys keep me entertained. Even the Xboners. Might have been the meds though.

Hey guys PS4 is getting injustice ultimate edition (metacritic 80) for free and i was wondering how that compares to killer Instinct (metacritic 73) on the bone since they are both the only real fighters on the market?? Except fighter within (metacritic 23) I guess how does that one stack up?!?


Watch out for Crafty reminding us reviews don't matter (unless xbone is higher)

Well if you add KI and Fighters Within together that's a 96 metacritical so that's clearly better.

Somehow getting the game free a year ago and getting a different free game now is somehow worse than just getting the first game free next month instead? :laugh:

The xbox one is good and fun and I can't wait to play gta5 on it. I hope that Jeff Keighley has enough lifeforce left in him that the xbone can drain for sustenance, so that I can get a couple more years of gaming delight out of my awesome console.

One section aside, I really loved my time with The Evil Within. It was a batshit weird, unapologetic love letter to the horror genre. I'm a weird gamer from Bizarro world who thought Alien: Isolation was bland as hell, to the point of being obnoxious, so my opinions about what's cool may be of the bad & untrustworthy variety.

I didn't have a console the first time it was released, and I'm really glad of that now that's I'm seeing everything they've crammed into the next gen version. I've more or less kept myself in the dark about it since it first dropped, so I'll be going into what looks like the definitive edition of the game fresh. I've actually put off buying Sunset Overdrive, because I sort of doubt I'll be playing anything else until well into summer 2015.

actually they've done a pretty good job relegating the ads to just a few sections, I think the final xbox 360 update was worse. It's certainly not as jarring as the wii u waking up in the middle of the night with a huge bayonetta 2 ad or displaying mario kart dlc on the entire gamepad when I wake it up

I couldn't find the Settings option at all; they make no explanation of how the gently caress you use snap or what you can use it with, it's just all laid out real dumb. On first boot up you have millions of ads and no wheres to see where the game you put in the drive is. I'm sure it'll be fine once you get used to it, but the PS4 has a better UI which is asinine.

Are you talking about all the stuff to the far right in the store section? I don't have any ads in my home and pins sections. It doesn't really blow my mind that a system with a deeply integrated marketplace would advertise things it sells in the marketplace... just in the space designated for the marketplace.

There's literally one ad and it says buy MCC with a link to the store. Maybe you're thinking of the PS4?

I'm still not entirely sure what the deal is with that pic because I couldn't find anything like that even when actively looking for ads, maybe it's a U.S. accounts-only thing.

You have to actively press buttons and seek out the ads on PS4; on Xbone they're right there on the front loving page. This system UI is slow and clunky as poo poo. Everything being a app is ridiculous. Even worse is the fact that you have to wait for a game to install even if you have the disc; :wtc: Forza Horizon has been installing for like 20 minutes and it's only at 33%.

You can pin the settings button if you don't have kinect and want easy access to it. When you use it it'll pop up in the home section, then you can pin it from there. I looked up all the kinect gestures and voice commands before I purchased, so I didn't really pay attention to the help sections, but if you go to your apps list there are built in help videos that get you started. I'm not certain, but I think some of those videos play the first time you power up the console.

I'm not being a dick here because me and Windows UIs have been best friends most of my career, so I'm willing to accept that maybe Microsoft just drove me crazy in a way that lets me understand them.

Thank you for the help. I understand the concept behind it I just am baffled at how un-friendly it is at first glance. Even Windows 8 had a stupid "here's what to do" first pop up, this didn't at first pop up and I was baffled. The only video this had was "Buy our games".

Its the 'Whats New on Playstation' screen, which you actually have to go and click to activate. You'll see status updates from your friends and stuff like new games on the store, new pre-order availability, and new free games from +. Its actually good and useful because you dont have to see it unless you want to, unlike the xbone which is physically too large to hide from sight and replaces all your tiles with ads whenever the McRib comes back.

A bunch of little tiles that you have to flick through to do stuff, what a loving mess of poo poo.

You haven't got a mouse pointer or touchscreen to use it properly by just going directly to what you want. Suppose you could use they Kinect but even MS gave up on that idea after 6 months of dismal sales.

How do you change between your snaps? Like I have the Queue up on one and Messages on the snap, but I cna't for the life of me figure out how to change the active Snap. Also i'm dumb.
