• Fallout 4's Install Size On Xbox One Comes In At Just Under 30 GB

  26-09-2015 23:51
  Turns out the big expansive open world requires a smaller install on Xbox One than expected.
  According to the product details page on Xbox.com, you will want to set aside 28.12 GB of space on your Xbox One hard drive in order to install Fallout 4. That amount of space, 28.12 GB, is certainly nothing to sneeze at, but I'm sure many (myself included) expected Fallout 4 to take up a much larger chuck of the Xbox One's hard drive.
  The PlayStation 4 and PC install amounts have not yet been revealed.

• Opinion: I Have No Idea What's Going On In Destiny

  26-09-2015 18:28
  
  At launch I played Destiny pretty casually. I sped through the campaign, did some standard grinding (up to around level 25), and even participated in a Strike or two with whoever happened to be online. And then… I stopped. I moved on to other games.
  I’ve never been much for MMOs, and my history with shooters is well documented.  Once I’d finished the story, I felt like I’d seen enough. I sent my Hunter off into the great beyond without a second thought.
