I'm not huge into driving games but I did like the some of the ideas they have for Drive Club so waiting to get it right seems like the right thing to do.

Admittedly I'm not into racing games, but I don't think the game ever looked impressive or compelling to begin with.

It looks boring as fuck - but i always blame that shit on them using shitty players to demo their games to the masses.

Have you seen those Halo 4 multiplayer statistics? Halo is dead man, 343 killed it.

Still sold 9m games. And Halo 5 will sell similar, I'd imagine. They need to back off the CoD style weapon balance which fucked it up and go back to Halo classic. But I digress.

If you don't think Halo is the largest title MS or maybe even any company has (outside of I'd wager CoD or FF perhaps), you dun goof'd.

People who bought Halo 4 because we enjoyed the multiplayer aren't going to buy Halo 5 after the disaster of Halo 4. Most Halo fans are waiting for Destiny and now realize 343 killed the game. They got a pass with Reach, and they dun goof'd bad with Halo 4. It will still sell well on the Bone, but it's not going to be a console buyer for a lot of people like it used to be.

Yeah, no. It's Halo. If it's going to be a 15 hour campaign with an optional multiplayer, the anti-CoD, then that's what it will be. But it will sell millions.

"At least I'm on the winning side"

What a fucking idiot. Read that and tell me you don't sound like a moron with a straight face.

Yeah, only 23 hours worth of it, apparently. A little low compared to the 600 hours I had on Halo 3.... yet I still plan to buy Halo 5. Maybe I'm the exception to the rule!

I'd just like to point out that this is exactly what people said about the latest GoW. The multiplayer was such shit on the GoW before Judgement that a lot of people didn't purchase Judgement because of that. People, taking the same position as you are now, said it wouldn't matter and the game would sell well. It didn't.

Also, I'd like to point out you said Halo 4 was the "anti-CoD" but it is now a straight rip off of Call of Duty, which also is starting to dwindle in sales.

I meant anti-CoD in the fact that the multiplayer was passable and the campaign was the best part. The multiplayer was TOO CoD which was part of the reason people didn't like it. Mostly because they didn't balance shit like DMRS well to begin with and people gave up.

I can agree with that. If they balance the multiplayer, get rid of all that extra shit like load outs, and make it like Halo 3 then that would be a system seller for me. But at the moment I don't have high hopes of that happening.

I guess I fail to see when we starting waving around our dicks with how much money we make. I bought a PS4 because I believed it to be a better system that will eventually have a better library. People bought the xboner for the same reason. Competition is good. Giving people shit is funny.

Dropping to some low-hanging fruit level insults is shit though, especially going "herpy derpy I make more than you and can afford this thing." We're all bros here, just some people picked the wrong console - truthfully we won't know what that one is for a long time.

The "wrong" console? If someone thinks the amount of money they paid for it is worth the enjoyment then there isn't a "wrong" choice. People who obsess over how other people spend their money and post daily sales figures are pathetic. And wtf is this shit:

A: Haha you spent $100 more than me!
B: So? It's just $100
A: Stop bragging about how much you make, asshole!

Can't someone just make a driver? I seem to remember people making better drivers for ATI video cards back in the day. I think some people even did it for the PS3 controller.
