I know mate and I'm winding you up,generally mate if Microsoft and Nintendo got there act together at the time i would have picked up both day one for sure,i decided in truth at the time there was only really a need to own one of the so called next generation consoles and since Microsoft shot themselves in the foot with there so called reveal and plan of action i chose the Playstation 4 based on the presentation of both consoles.

I also know that Microsoft did what i call about turn and kudos for doing that bought on by gamers who told them exactly where to stick there new hardware at the time and aired a lot of displeasure all around every gaming forum and site you care to mention.

But been in love with basically anything to do with gaming i eventually caved in and bought a Nintendo Wii U because of the HD zelda and it became a lot cheaper and a nice price,and then the Xbox One because of there Changes in Policy and the fact i wanted to play a few exclusives like Titanfall which in all honesty doesn't do anything for me,Quantum Break is what i really wanted but that is still a long way of and really i need not have bothered because it just doesn't get used along with the Wii U ,i could easily box the pair of them up and be done with them but the gamer within tells me i must have all current systems and thats generally what i do,not always the correct decision i agree but its something i been doing 30 plus years and I'm like a little kid at Christmas the minute a new console or highly anticipated game is around the corner.

And why I'm on the subject of games��.Far Cry 4 is just absolutely superb and i can not stop playing it.

You said that not ordering a day one edition Xbox one meant you were not a hardcore gamer. That was silly.

I assumed that it was common knowledge that the XB1 pre-orders came with Fifa or Forza for FREE and that was my little sarcastic cheeky dig at Timey that he clearly didn't pre-order one as in his original post he mentioned that nothing was included in it when it actually was, As was the comment about him not being a hardcore console gamer when he clearly is, The crazy fool ends up buying games on genres that he doesn't really like especially when the said game is mainly an online racer that is reliant on using the PS network that is very poor (yup this is another cheeky dig this time at the PSN).

He likes to have cheeky digs at M$ side and I like to do it at the PS side, It's all in good fun and nothing I say should ever be taken in a bad way on here as it's all just playful banter.

I think youself and Timey have been riding to many elephants bareback on mountains together and have got a little too close the way you defended him.

(please note that as I mentioned above agan this part is a joke)

peace out

From what I've seen timey is quite happy to make cheeky digs at all sides Mostly because none are perfect

Yup M$ shot themselves in the foot there and Sony fully capitalised and changed some of there policies and re-wrote the script to really capitalise on the hate that the always online and no 2nd hand games caused, It would of really been interesting to have seen what would of happened if Sony had released news first (obviously not going to happen at E3 as M$ are day one) as a lot of people in the know said that Sony and M$ had agreed to the no 2nd hand games policy and a few other things but this all changed when the backlash of the MS plans were released (although Sony for sure didn't have the always on option) which IMO was probably put there by M$ to try to stop piracy of games when the security gets cracked on the consoles that the 360 version had as it really makes no sense.

I'm sure i mentioned before I would of made the jump to PS4 myself but wanted to see if they upgraded the network (which they don't seem to have done much about) and see what the controller was like (the PS3 controller was shocking especially the triggers) and after seeing the controller (even though it is a vaste improvement on the PS3) it's still not as good as the XB1 controller, Just my opinion of course but that's what I base my decisions on.

M$ were always going to do a U-turn on a lot of the things after the backlash they got so I wasn't really worried.

I'll prob give FC4 a go at sometime when I get around to it, I've got a few games here to get through and am really getting into Destiny now in co-op (was pretty rubbish playing on own)

Absolutely correct Sir

I think generally my patience with a lot of games is sadly on the decline,had destiny for about a week and i found it all hype over substance and not the game i truly expected,Drive club didn't fair much better and that was also soon ditched quite rapidly because of the online issues still not fixed 6 weeks later.

Personally i really enjoyed Watchdogs but lots of people were sadly disappointed in the end product,but from what i have played this year so Far then Far Cry 4 has my vote as my favourite game of 2014.

I'm still to open Dragon Age Inquisition and GTA5 which obviously i have played before.

Yeah there was a rumour that both Sony and Microsoft were going to do the same thing,but since Microsoft went first with there presentation Sony got wise at the mauling Microsoft received and went ahead and won the masses.

Only Sony representatives will know the real truth as to what they would have done originally had Microsoft not received such negative press and responses .

I think youself and Timey have been riding to many elephants bareback on mountains together and have got a little too close the way you defended him.

Uhhh, can we have a rewind please?

I didn't even mention him. I just think your logic (if you can call it that ) is flawed. As for Timey, I tell him in no uncertain terms what I think, so don't feel picked on. I just fundamentally don't agree with your statement. I've disagreed concisely, you're the one over rationalising. No need to get personal, even with all the "joking" disclaimers. You're just wrong. It happens to all of us.

But not me of course (JOKING!!!)

so you still havent played the game of the year

If thats Dragon Age then No mate�..
