Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013 (E3)

But if you're required to access the network you're banned from every single day, that sounds like it's going to be of fuck-all good to anyone.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies

:w00t:

Pretty much how I feel. They really want me to get a 3DS the same year I should be saving up for a PS4

Get a 3DS instead. We'd be glad to have you and it's apparently actually getting some games now.

One game I thought looked awesome was Witcher 3. I have not played the second one. Anyone done so? Any good?

I thought The Witcher 3 looked amazing too. I wonder if we need to play the first two before hand to understand what is happening.

But, for 2, I heard it's good, but hard.

Getting the hang of combat is a giant pain. I enjoyed what I played, but I never really felt like I understood what I was doing when fighting. I really want to go back to it now I have the capability to run it at Ultra settings.

[DavidMarrio]

Witcher 2 is a great game but it can be difficult and the combat does take a while to get used to. Definitely worth a play though.

[Your Mom]

Witcher 2 sucked for the reasons DM just mentioned

[Ruki]

But would I understand the story?!

[livid]

Just read the Wikipedia page(s) if you're that worried about the story!

It's what I do. Saves me a ton of coin >_>

I look forward to that Cyberpunk game they teased more than Witcher. I hope it's coming to consoles.

Speaking of which, I'm not really sure what to do. I almost feel obligated to get one of teh new consoles since I work at a game shop and all, but I'm going to be keeping my 360 regardless since I've a stack I still want to play through and Madden will probably suck on next-gen like '06 did on 360. And I'm concerned that games like Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed etc. that are all coming out on current gen will just be ports to the new consoles with prettier visuals.

[Dan]

Madden next-gen will have all the features of Madden on the 360 and more, they've already announced that.

[TCO]

I'm very cautious too. PES 6 for 360 was easily the most stripped down piece of shit to ever be released on any console ver.

[Cactus Drags]

Madden next-gen will have all the features of Madden on the 360 and more, they've already announced that.

Yeah, we'll see. Madden '06 anyone?

Gamestop is no longer taking preorders corporate wide for XboxOne.

As confirmed by the company themselves.

[Your Mom]

The workers did seem mega pissed about the xbone when I was ordering my PS4

[EWB's Best Poster.]

I bet. They likely have to hear the same thing over and over again and pretend like its an interesting conversation every time.

My heart goes out to you and yours Dragsy. that shit must get tedious whenever news of anything like this breaks.

GAME has announced plans to open a dedicated Xbox Store later this week.

The GAME Xbox Store opens this Thursday, June 20, at Shoreditch's Boxpark shopping centre, and is described as a "one-of-a-kind concept store" that features "playable gaming pods, head-to-head challenge areas, a Microsoft Surface display and the latest and greatest in Xbox hardware and software".

The move suggests GAME is tightening its relationship with Microsoft ahead of this November's Xbox One launch.

The retailer told us earlier this morning that it would be working "hand-in-hand with publishers" over the issue of Xbox One's DRM and the handling of pre-owned sales.

Comment on that page:

Weird that when I went into GAME the other day, I saw plenty of people asking about the new Xbox One but I didn't hear the staff even once mention anything about used game and game sharing restrictions or even about the 24-hour check in.

Surely not true?

[Summers]

They're job is to sell pre orders right now. If a customer doesn't ask the right questions, some staff won't give the right answers.

That or lack of knowledge. I was chatting to the manager of the local blockbuster, I know more about the next gens than he does.

[King Ellis]

I've said as much to Dragsy but I would not envy him come release time, specifically, let's say 1 or 2 days after launch. 'OMG, THIS XBOX ONE YOU SOLD ME IS BROKEN. MY GAMES DON'T WORK. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!'.

I think in retail though, there is pressure to drive sales, and whilst it would be nice to create some trust with the customer by explaining everything in frank detail, even if it did mean putting them off and losing a potential sale, with targets and managers breathing down your neck it's no so easy.

Or as Lionel Hutz would put it:
