I've been playing this since it's launch (23/6) and I would agree that the Batmobile is the weakest part of the game. The combat is as great as its been in the past game and I'm enjoying the plot and there's plenty of side quests to do.
For me it'll be Batman on the night time and if I get chance on the mornings probably Dark Souls or Halo MCC. I might even fire up Forza 5 or something else in my monstrous back log!
For £200, I will stick with the plain vanilla edition. Even the cheaper steelbook edition is too expensive. My wife would have a breakdown if I dropped £80 just for the steelbook and a bit of digital content.
I think for me it'll be a bit of MCC to try and finish off my Legendary playthrough of CE, possibly a bit of Dark Souls to try and finish New Londo Ruins. I hope the boss of this level is as easy as the level itself?!
I don't think I'll get this day one, but I'll definitely get it at some point. Really enjoy the main Forza games. The weather and night races look to be good and needed additions to the formula.
I've mostly been playing Halo MCC this week and I see that continuing over the weekend. I need to try and get back into Dark souls and get through New Londor Ruins, which so far I've only died about 4 times, and hopefully get it completed in the not too distant future.
Played a bit of Halo CE as part of the MCC. Playing on Legendary and going is slow! Only just got to the flood after many deaths and almost controller smashing rage at points.
@stylon Thanks for the info. I've never played Skyrim or Mass Effect and I've only played Red Dead for about half an hour, so I think I'll give this a miss.
I've just finished Ori this morning and I have been seriously close to chucking the controller at the tv in a frustrated rage, especially escaping the water.
Mainly playing Ori and the Blind Forest at the moment. May chuck a bit more time at Halo MCC or Dark Souls or any of the multitude of backlog games I've got going on.
I'll be having more time on Dark Souls, trying to beat the immortal dragon in the crystal cave. Probably have a go on Ori and some other games on my backlog.
That is an absurd price for the pass. I've got the game on pre order but I won't be shelling out for the season pass. If it's in a sale for something like £15 I would give it a go.
I will be getting a bit more Dark Souls in, joining in the pX Forza night (if you pick 5) and having a look at what else I've got. May even give Ori a blast seen as though Red made me buy it!!
Yeah, when I played through it on the original Xbox the first time, it was a shocker of an ending. I was in the zone and thought the game could go on for another few levels and it just ended. I was gutted and yeah, the wait for 3 was a LONG time!
@Utena-mobile Give the mp a go, it's a good game even if you aren't as good as the other people. You can usually still get a few kills if you are playing with people that play 24/7. The balancing is really good. Stick a FR to me (Crippy D is my GT) and I'll join you, or come play the pX Halo night Tuesday 8PM GMT, it's GREAT!!
I'll no doubt be putting more time into Dark Souls, along with finishing Forza Fast & Furious. May even get my Master Chief on and try and finish off Halo on the MCC or possibly just play something that doesn't need too much thought ( Peggle2 or something similar)
It's so good to see current gen only stuff coming so the devs can maximise the game for the much better hardware. The 360 is great, and i still play mine, but it must be time to put it to bed?
I have had a little go on Dark Souls this morning and tonight I'm on for some Halo 4 co op on the 360. There are many games I want to play and I think I may buy more to increase my backlog even more! Bring it on!
I'm interested in getting Diablo as I've heard good things about it but at £30 it's still on the high side for me, especially as I've got a massive backlog from the 360 to get down.
I'm trying to beat Ornstein and smaugh in Dark Souls, so that will be my target for the next year or two. Also just started Xcom enemy within, so I may try to get some time on that.
I will be on Forza 5 tonight and possibly some Alien Isolation after and tomorrow a bit of Dark Souls or MCC. May even try my newly won copy of Tropico 5 (Thanks again pX!)
It was £30 on the MS store I think. Not sure I want to drop that much on a game I don't know if I'll like. I was thinking of picking up Ori but again, I think the price is a bit high for a gamble.
I've never played DMC, but I think when the price goes down a bit, I'll give it a go. I enjoyed Bayonetta so if it's similar to that it should be a blast.

Re: E3 2015: 1TB Xbox One With New Controller Spotted
Always the way with tech innit? I think I would buy another day one Xbox as I've had a year and a half with mine and loved every minute of it.

Re: Lichdom: Battlemage Coming to Xbox One
I agree that trailer looks really good. Seems like a FPS but with magic.
Re: You Can Now Pre-order/Pre-download Batman: Arkham Knight From Xbox Live
I've also had my disc version on order since it was announced. Come on the 23rd!!
@Captain_Chao5 I'll echo @stylon and say get an external HDD. My 2GB one is serving me fine and by the time it is full I'll probably get a bigger one.

Re: Out Today: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Xbox One)
Stupid question time - Is this the same sort of game as Dark Souls?

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Six
For me it'll be Ori, Dark Souls and maybe some Halo. Also if I can I'll drop in to the Forza 5 game tonight.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Five
I'll be having more time on Dark Souls, trying to beat the immortal dragon in the crystal cave. Probably have a go on Ori and some other games on my backlog.
Re: May's Games With Gold Gives Away CastleStorm and Mafia II
I'll be getting castlestorm and mafia 2 but I won't bother with f1 as it's not one I'd want to get or try.

Halo night Tuesday 8PM GMT, it's GREAT!!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Three
I'll be trying to get out of the Tomb of Giants in Dark Souls and maybe hitting up Halo MCC for a bit more campaign action.
Re: This Week's Deals With Gold Brings Redux-tions

Re: This Week's Deals With Gold Brings Redux-tions

Re: More Titles Discounted for the Weekend in the Xbox Spring Sale
Got myself Risk as I've enjoyed playing it on my phone and I like a bit of strategy gaming.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Two
I'll no doubt be putting more time into Dark Souls, along with finishing Forza Fast & Furious. May even get my Master Chief on and try and finish off Halo on the MCC or possibly just play something that doesn't need too much thought ( Peggle2 or something similar)
Re: Review: Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (Xbox One)
Great review Tyler, I think I'll spend a few quid and get on this!

Re: Halo 5: Guardians Release Date Confirmed
I've just watched the trailers from Major Nelson's twitter and they are great. My excitement level has just gone through the roof!!
Re: Stealth Inc 2 Will Make Next Friday a Good One
@sinalefa thanks for the info, I'll check out the review.
Re: Stealth Inc 2 Will Make Next Friday a Good One
I quite like the look of this and £13 is cheap enough, if the review is good I'll put my money down
Re: Out Today: Forza Horizon 2 presents Fast & Furious (Xbox One)
Downloaded earlier today, may give it a go over the weekend if I can tear myself away from Dark Souls.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Forty Eight
Alien Isolation possibly and Dark Souls, may be a bit of Peggle 2 or Forza 5. See what I feel like when I get near my consoles.
