I feel like software bloat's getting a bit silly lately. The install time on Doom 4 was like an entire work day for me.

Comcast just rolled out their 1 tb caps nationwide in the US and with so many major releases coming out so close to each other it's not so hard to imagine a lot of people hitting them just by buying a few games on top of their Netflix/streaming video usage.

Yo controllers and mouse and keyboard aren't weird. Tell me the weirdo setups you've used to play a game.

Playing a platformer with your feet, Soul Calibur with a fishing controller, etc.

i beat soul calibur with a ddr pad once

Every single game requires this, because games are designed for general targets instead of specific hardware. Also the only games I play MKB is FPSes

I haven't played a mainstream game in years that required any kind of manual setup to get an Xbox controller working

Graphic setting auto detection has definitely improved in leaps and bounds recently. Microsoft's implementation of dynamic settings adjustment in Forza Horizon 3 is pretty cool, if a little hampered by technical issues in the game.

I don't like playing in parties because I might decide to just do something else after 20 minutes

It must be kind of cool to be a kid growing up playing video games in 2016 when you have a bunch of actually pretty ok free to play stuff like hearthstone/mobas/evolve/overwatch clones instead of playing the same ps1 demo discs over and over (though I guess in my teens I played a lot of terrible f2p mmos like runescape/maple story)

I remember spending a lot of time signing up for game betas lol

ISIS coordinated a terrorist attack through custom planet and animal names so Hello Games is under a federal gag order until the investigation concludes.

Nobody played the original Doom by speed running everywhere, they used the keyboard to turn and slowly walked through it like it was a survival horror game
