with real-time, it's mostly hackenslash, which is fine if it's something as evolved as the system in Rogue Galaxy, and not as in Final Fantasy XII, where your victory will only surely depend on your level |

With final fantasy I was planning my attacks strategically 10% of the time and spamming attack for the rest just to get the fight over with, but for me final fantasy was all about the story, the fighting just fleshed it out a bit and gave you something to do besides walking.

i was talking about XII, which is real-time, but your victories often rest on your level, and i hated level-grinding if you're talking about X, the combat is mesmerising, it was turn-based, and i had equal fun fighting and puzzle-solvin |

If I'm powerful enough, I also eventually resort to button spamming just to get it over with. Killing an enemy in a Zelda typically take from an nth of a second to a few seconds. Killing an enemy in FF can take a few to several minutes.

Anyways, you yourself pointed out my problem with DLC. So, uh, thanks for proving my point for me? Quote:

And what do you mean by 'free to pay models'? Last I checked, you're still paying $60 for the game. It's $60 by the way, not $50. You'd know this if you were actually paying attention to the industry. Last edited by midnight rain; 01-26-2012 at 08:02 AM. |

So my fellow 360 owners, if this does come true would you guys stick with the Xbox 3 or switch over to the PS4 next gen?
Report: No Used Games on Next Xbox - Xbox360 News at IGN I for one would switch over, no questions asked. Microsoft has to know how foolish a move this would be. I mean think about it, no loaning a game to a friend? No being able to rent a game first to determine whether it's worth buying or not? Cross off getting the games years down the line either. If they did this for that gen, then imagine how hard it'd be to get a new copy of an old game after they've stopped producing it. It'd basically make it impossible to get old games (something I love doing, I still buy PS1/PS2 games on occasion). Also, what happens if your Xbox dies? Are your games as good as useless on any new console you get? Microsoft can't be this stupid. |

It's probably the start of what happened to PC games in the middle of the last decade, a shift to straight digital distribution. Publishers did nothing but bitch and moan about how "used game sales where destroying the industry" and made controversial moves like making you buy a code to play the multiplayer in Dead Space 2 or buy new to play as Catwoman in Batman: Arkham City.
Still this is all just speculation, but the fact that Microsoft haven't spoken out against it does have me a little disquieted. |

I would switch so fast it'd be crazy. Actually, I'll switch anyway just because the PS4 will probably have free online gaming. I don't really know why I went with the 360 in the first place, most likely just cause some of my other friends had. I guess it really depends on what my friends get though, but I'll try as hard as i can to convince them to go playstation.
