Sounds like there's some degree of customization to the Achievement popups. It's been confirmed that you can change the colors, at the very least.

So true! Going to work is my getaway from the wife and 4 kids. Lol.

I like that it gives a little more info on the popup. I am one of those folks who always hits the center button to see what the achievement was, how many points it was worth, how did I get it, and what was the cool little image.

:thumbsup: But they don't need to increase the time of the display by telling us how to view it.

As long as they give us the option to turn that shit off I'm fine with it.

Agreed.

Yeah, everyone should know that after awhile that it would be silly to show it every time.

Reading comprehension, FTW? I said I liked the animation itself, but seems like overkill during a game. Is that not a valid stance to take?

How about selective reading? You just can't get it through your head that I love the xbox brand. I just agree with little MS has done in 2013 in regards to X1. The X180 more closely resembles the console I wanted but I still don't want/need Kinect and I'm tired of paying for ads. I've also stated I'm down for a slim, Halo edition or at a price drop in the future. But carry on with your labels, it's flattering you care so much. Would it help if I had an "I LOVE X1" avatar? :lol:

No shit, huh. If anything, I'd say you were biased towards MS this gen.
And my favorite part was that he replied to the post after yours, but chose to pretend this one didn't exist.

I'd have to do some digging to verify, but I'm almost positive it was Corvin who talked me into buying a 360.

In other news, I just now found out that Quantum Break is made by the developers of Alan Wake. I have no idea how I missed that specific tidbit (or factoid or tip or detail or datum or infoblast) previously. :up: I may have to check this out if/when it is released. They also mentioned, when asked, that they will "return to Wake when the time is right." That was back in May.

Anyway, what's up with all the delays? Lazy developers? ;)

Yeah, surprised you missed it since I recall it being part of their announcement with the whole "we're doing new IPs!" thing. I've liked Remedy since Max Payne 1/2, they do good stuff.

I think is more with the new systems being rushed out a year earlier than they're ready, not only game delays but also functions in system delayed.

Yeah... that's not true at all.

It does seem like a lot of things are being delayed for both consoles, including software and system functionality. MS in particular has shown a lot of evidence of scrambling over the past few months.

It was bound to happen, they are both trying to launch as quickly as possible. I figured this would be one of the roughest launches ever, just because it's not often (ever?) where two new systems are being released so closely together.

Lame that MS is ripping people off with that controller kit. Good for anyone that got in on amazons deal, as that's how it should be sold. All Wii U Pro Controllers come with the USB adapter and isn't the Dual Shock 4 the same way?

Yeah. It's because Microsoft insists on AA batteries being standard for their controllers.

Their argument is that rechargeable batteries lose their potency over time, basically requiring someone to throw out the entire controller and buy a new one. My PS3 controllers don't suffer from any problems despite regular use for 6 and a half years or however long it's been, but whatever. I'm sure the real answer is that they want to sell play and charge kits, and they can't do that if the functionality is built in. I think using AA batteries is dumb, so I sprung for the kit, the same as I did for the 360.

I've had my PS3 controllers since shortly after launch, it still holds one hell of a charge. It sounds like an excuse to save money.

When I bought my Pro Controller, I thought it used AA's up until I opened it :lol: Guess MS is living in the past on that one.

:horse:

I'd rather live in the [recent] past any day of the week with AAs than have to tether myself to the console like it's 1985.

My WiiU gamepad or DS3 controller dies mid-game? I'm done gaming for the night. It shouldn't be like that.
