Great job man! It makes me so sad/mad to see all this bull since QB was announced for pc.... oh and bonus points for the title haha.
So yeah, I eat sleep and breathe gaming.. actually more so the older I get. I was always a console only gamer until fairly recently (about a year and a half) and I've been a huge fan of xbox for a long time, so it does definitely get to me a little to see the xbox brand be dragged through the mud as much as it has this generation, although it was entirely their fault with the lead up to it launching. Thankfully all that has been corrected and Phil is really doing great things.. I don't know if it's because I'm a multiplatform gamer through & through but when I see people actually getting Mad that they're making the game available to more people, it blows my mind. I think if anyone should be saying anything, it should be to Sony and Nintendo ! And encouraging them to do the same.
I just wish the fanboys of the world would give other platforms a chance, because one they do and they realize that every platform has something great to offer, all that ridiculous comparing and fanboy arguing disappears. Your only care is you want the best possible experience and you start to care more about the games and less about beating another console.
I'm actually pretty excited to try this out. If it really gives the feeling of being in front of a giant theatre screen I think it's going to be awesome. I'm picking up the rift on day one so I'm excited for this new experience. Thankfully I have an epic beast of a pc so I'll be playing lots of games made specifically for the rift as well
Hahah 4k @ 120 fps would be nice.. if the technology existed to output that much bandwith through a cable.
I've got a flat out beast of a gaming pc with 2 way SLI titanX Hybrids (over 2 grand in gpus alone) and I game at 4k@60fps with ultra settings in the most demanding games. Even if 120hz 4k monitors existed I don't think my pc could pull it off lol.
It's super depressing seeing this month after month... only for the fact that xbox one really deserves more sales. They have been doing amazing things for a long while now adding so many great features... I own both consoles and they're both great,I just wish it was a little more even.
To be honest though I haven't played either console much since I've built my absolute beast of a 4k gaming pc. I'll be using them both for exclusives and that's pretty much it. It'll be nice if xbox one starts to allow pc games streamed to it for the times I want to play on my big ass tv
I bought this game on console while I was away at work because I couldn't wait after having already preordered on pc.... so I played about 10 hours on console and switched over to pc yesterday when i finally got back home...
I have a very high end enthusiast pc that I built with 2 gtx 980s and I'm playing it in 1440p with all settings maxed/hairworks on/ hbao+ on and playing at 60 fps and all I can say is.. oh...my....god. the game looks absolutely incredible on pc with these settings.
Don't get me wrong, they did a great job with what they have to work with on console, but the pc version is just absolutely gorgeous. And 60 fps makes it so smooth and so pretty.
I sure hope they really do bring the best xbox show in history. I love xbox. Hands down my favorite platform (though lately pc has been taking up more and more of my gaming time) but I've gotta say Playstation are just kicking their butt. They really need to start stepping up their game and instead of buying exclusive rights for games from other devs, which is in essence just spending a ton of money just to keep a game off other platforms, to actually investing in their own studios to produce new one of a kind IP that actually does something to contribute to the games industry.
I still can't get past the fact that they bought exclusive rights for tomb raider. Phil Spencer himself said they did it because that specific genre was somewhere they were lacking I.e they didn't have anything to answer against uncharted.... well instead of throwing God knows how much money at an independent studio for exclusive rights, why not take that money and build something. New IP, new studio.. contribute rather than take away.
And as for what I'll be doing during e3, as long as I'm not away at work I always make sure I have nothing to do that first day and I literally just sit and watch confrences all day! For a guy like me who is probably one do the most hardcore gamers around, this is heaven ! Not to mention there's a show dedicated to pc this year and Bethesda as well as square Enix all have a show! Very exciting.
@A_BabyRed_Yoshi have you ever played any of he souls series? Dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin is definitely a throw you in the deep end head first type of game. It kind of assumes unfortunately that you've already beaten the game because now harder enemies are there sooner and more frequent. I finished bloodborne a week or 2 ago and since then I've been just souls obsessed. I'm currently playing through dark souls ready to die edition on pc and it is just incredible. I can't wait to finish and start scholar of the first sin.
So I guess my advice if you haven't played these games before is first, be patient. You're going to die early and often. You can't treat these games like any other action rpg meaning you can't just hack and slash at enemies. The best tactics when just learning is to try to lure one enemy at a time, make sure to lock on and try to keep enough distance to learn their movements, and when you see an opening be sure to strike but don't overdo it. If you get cocky and keep swinging you're probably gonna eat a few shots.
It's really a game that gives you a feeling of accomplishment like no other. Once you get past your first boss I'm going to guess that you will be absolutely hooked!
Yup so my xbox most definitely took a back seat this week. I've been playing bloodborne as much as I've been able to though I've been busy this week. Even still I'm doing pretty great.. ended up taking down the first 2 bosses on my first try which I'm kind of proud of
I might get a little time on the xbox one though with some friends. We all picked up the handsome collection to beat the games from start to finish in coop together.. easier said then done with 4 grown men and different schedules !
@anthinator if I may make a suggestion. If it's possible for you, do yourself a favor and play the witcher 2 on pc. Don't get me wrong they did a decent job with the port (especially the controls for the 360 controller they're a little better) but playing it on pc effectively makes the game look like practically a next gen game when the settings are cranked and ubersampling is on. I'm playing it in 4k, and man is it beautiful !
Oh man I am so excited to upgrade. I've got 2 gtx 980s in my beast of a machine so I am just dying to get my hands in directx12 to see if the kind of crazy rumors we've been hearing about what it can do is actually true ! 4GB card + 4GB card equals an 8GB card?! Oh that would be too sweet.
@TylerTreese hmm well I don't fully equate killer instinct with being a free to play game since it's just one character really that you get. I paid for the full version when it came out and I did enjoy it but fighting games aren't my favorite games. The only real times that I have fun with a game like killer instinct is if I have a few of the boys over and we play each other and put some money on it or something. Then it gets real interesting lol
Ugh the more I hear about this game the less I like. I had a lot of hope for this game but I literally have never liked a free to play game in my life so im not going into this game with a very good track record :/ the only f2p game that I actually put some real time into was warframe... and it didn't last..but I did have fun while I did play it.
Just my luck lol. I finally broke down waiting for it to be 20 bucks at futureshop and bought it for 30 just last month. Oh well, I'm sure people will enjoy that!
What's the scoop with this game blast thing ? And for me I'll be continuing my first ever play through of the witcher on my brand new pc I built over the last month or so. It's my first ever build and I am extremely proud of the power of this bad boy! I'm rocking dual gtx 980s in the graphics department
I FINALLY beat dragon age... so now my gaming schedule has freed up considerably lol.. I'm thinking on finally getting back into ac unity since I haven't played it since the first week the game was released due to all the stupid glitches and bugs and framerate.. so I'm really hoping it's working upto par... I also might play some halo mcc
That's great! Wow so if Sony announced they've sold over 18.5 consoles jumping a few million in only 2 months, and Xbox one has beaten them 2 months in a row now, xbox must have pumped out a frigging ton of consoles these last 2 months ! Glad to see the race starting to even out. Love the competition. I can see me bei ng on my ps4 a lot more in the next few months with all the sick exclusives they have coming but man super excited for those xbox one exclusives this year too
I've been waiting for one of these forever now! I loved my chat pad for the 360... I just kept it connected to my controller at all times. I liked the additional weight it gave to the controller. It sucks that you have to use up one of your usb ports for this one, and you can't use your headset...
Hopefully an official one comes out soon and addresses these problems. I use my smartphone/smart glass when I have to type large amounts but it would definitely be more convenient to just have my chat pad back! I could type so damn fast with that thing lol
@SuperKMx I've got one tip for you.. if you're serious about taking a real bite out of dragon age, be prepared lol.. it really is the type of game that you need to dedicate to and sort of push all other games to the side for the duration. I am literally 150 hours in and I am just starting to MAYBE see the light at the end of the tunnel lol.. though I'm not sure because I've been playing completely spoiler free.. I've been doing all side activities before going ahead with the story which has been awesome, with one slight problem.. I'm pretty high leveled for the story missions now (lvl 22 which is really high in this game) so that took a little fun away but not much.... mainly because there are 10 high dragons in the game that are damn hard no matter what level you are !
Every time I start to get fatigued by this game something awesome happens and I get into it all over again. I really love this game ! I hope you have a similar experience with it.. it really is quite an epic journey !
Sweet. I bought this game on release day and that was the last time I played it. I decided not to play it until all the crap was fixed and it sounds like most of it have been addressed. Now if I can just finish dragon age inquisition I'll be okay. I have a condition where I literally have to complete all the side stuff there is before continuing with the main story lol... which has really proven to be a problem with this game as the content seems endless
Yeah my mind is blown that not one person had dragon age as a top 10 or even an honorable mention. Makes it seem like that silly stereotype about xbox gamers not playing rpgs might be true lol. It's definitely top 5 on my list and I haven't even finished it yet.
Ugh so mad about this ! I was so looking forward to this game for February. I actually remember a few months back one of the lead designers of this game said flat out that the witcher wouldn't be delayed again. So much for that :/
@WINGNUT yeah exact same way actually ! I was so surprised when I got it:) I'm really happy especially because I loved the game. Just beat it last week actually.
So I have the day one achievement, have gotten over 22 thousand gamerscore on my Xbox one alone and am very happy with all the things they're giving us. In the last few days alone I've gotten my download code from limbo (used it today and just finished playing it) a day before that I was given the sunset overdrive season pass for free, and then I've also received the email to say I have the background, gamer pic, halo unto dawn , dragon Ball z etc... I am so proud to be an xbox gamer ! They really went above and beyond. Xbox for life !
Haha wow what a list.. thankfully I don't have to choose my titles for this November I'm picking up cod today, then for the rest of the month I'll be getting halo mcc, far cry 4,gta 5 for the second time(can't wait to play that amazing campaign again) dragon age, ac unity and possibly even ac rogue... though I'm fairly confident we will see a definitive edition for next gen coming within 6 months so I might just hold off on that one.
I totally believe that people are really starting to realize xbox one is where it's at this generation so far. I feel super privileged to have been with it since day one because I've owned both since the start and it's been no competition as to which console is better in my eyes. The amazing monthly updates, the higher quality exclusives, the console OS itself is just awesome. It had a bumpy start but since the updates it works beautifully. Multitasking is so good, love having pass through hdmi etc etc... I think the people who are mostly kicking themselves are the ones who jumped ship from the 360 to ps4 because they were the ones fully aware of just how great xbox live is.. and now they've gotten a wake up call using psn. It's not even a comparison to be honest.. and really if Sony wanted to start to charge for online they really had to step it up but didn't. I know it sounds I'm super anti Sony but the truth is I'm not. I bought the ps4 just like I've bought every Sony console. I love their exclusives.. even if the first year of them have been well... crap. I know they will be coming in the future and I'll love them. It's just that, in my opinion the xbox is on such a higher level in software terms.
I strongly disagree with the part of the article that says they don't think xbox can catch up this generation. Look at the ps3 last Gen. . They were getting destroyed by xbox and eventually turned it around. All due to the great exclusives.. and that's the thing about Phil Spencer. He gets gamers. He understands in order to succeed you need the games first, and everything will follow. In my opinion give the console race one more solid year and the sales will be much, much closer.
Sweet. Just picked up the evil within and sleeping dogs both for the good ol xbox one can't wait to get into evil within first then sleeping dogs ! Last month I made a bet I could rack up 10k gamerscore from the middle of September until xmas so these games are going to definitely help with that haha I've already racked up 3500 give or take since the bet started lol so I have confidence I'm going to get er done!
@TOMBOY25 haha I couldn't imagine gaming on 22 inch ! And yeah definitely. I already have a few up on my Instagram if you have IG my nick is @kelvhall pictures really don't do it justice though lol.. it's crazy big in reality. It's just under 6 feet long
The resolution bull articles are giving me aneurysms I swear to god. It's actually crazy how many people partake in this stupidity. I own a ps4 and an xbox one and I still buy my multiplats on xbox even though in a lot of cases the resolution is a little lower. I actually bought metal gear ground zeroes on both xbox one and ps4 because of the difference of 720p to 1080p just so I could see the difference for myself, and surprise surprise I couldn't notice a damn thing. I game on a 75 inch tv so it should be glaringly obvious if there were a huge difference. So either the xbox has a great upscaler or those numbers really don't make a difference for games. Either way I'd rather get the games on a platform where my friends are and that I enjoy much more than the other rather than get some superficial upgrade that really amounts to nothing more than ammunition for fan boys.
So this weekend for me is going to be full of gaming goodness I beat shadow of mordor through the week and I'm sitting at 950 gamerscore out of 1000 so I'm definitely hoping to get the last few achievements to complete it.
I'm also smack dab in the middle of the alien Isolation campaign, which if I'm being completely honest, has been underwhelming for me so far. I did pay 70 bucks for the thing though so I'm definitely going to try to get it beat.
Besides that, I finally opened up sherlock holmes last night and was pleasantly surprised. I love detective games where you have to solve crimes. It's a nice change of pace from killing everything that moves like usual games lol.. I finished the first 2 cases last night with a perfect rating which was pretty sweet... so yeah hopefully I'll get some more of that finished.
Also I've been dabbling with forza horizon since it came out, I love the game but I can't seem to ever put more than a half hour in at a time. I've never been the biggest racing fan so it's going to take some doing to really get into it.
Haha and LAST but not least, I'm going to be playing some destiny with friends. I haven't played in a few weeks and the boys that still do have been complaining that I'm not playing it enough. We have a clan so I'm kind of obligated. I know once I start to play it again I'll have fun but I've just been ignoring it lately.
Hope that wasn't too long of a post for yall happy gaming guys!
100% shadow of mordor last night, moving on to alien isolation today! Oh and still playing forza horizon off and on of course anyone known if styx is a decent game?
Well my choice most definitely would have been borderlands, if it had of been releasing on xbox one but since that's a bust I went with sunset overdrive. I refuse to pick up borderlands on the 360 when we all know if we give it about 6 months it's going to be ported to next gen. A close second for me was lords of the fallen. I'm really excited for that game and it's going to be hard to choose which to play first on Oct 28
Yeah I'm definitely going to grab this on Tuesday, though I'm not sure when I'll be able to get around to playing it since just this past Tuesday I picked up shadow of mordor, forza horizon, and sherlock holmes.. so once I finish at least middle earth I'll have a look-see at it for sure
@DRL good god no. Lol. If I had to pick between the two it would be hands down shadow of mordor.. but that's just my personal preference because anytime I buy racing games I usually only get about 5 to 10 hours in before I get bored and have to stop playing... horizon does look great though! Thankfully I don't have to choose ! I'll be picking up shadow of mordor, forza and sherlock holmes on Tuesday.. can't wait! Won't get to play any of them til Friday because I'm away working but I'm super excited.
@SuperKMx I think it's a great way to get word of mouth of this great site out there! Keep up the good work. It's great because it gives your readers a chance at a great game for free and also gives them incentive to show some other people a really cool site. I already own the game myself, so if I win I will be giving it to one of my friends. Good luck everyone.
Wait... what? Those are the only games the xbox one launches with in China? Dear god. That is ugly. It would suck so bad to live in such a oppressive part of the world. I'm sure the reason others aren't coming is because of some sort of problem the Chinese government has with elements of games. Anything they deem to be unpatriotic they suppress. It's insane.
My weekend will most definitely consist of grinding my way up in destiny. I'm currently sitting at level 25 but I only have a helmet that is legendary and that is really peeving me! So yeah I hear that guy shows up on the weekends with awesome gear so I've been trying to get as many motes of light and strange coins as I can. I think I'm at around 20 of each now.. so I'm hoping that's enough to get me some decent gear. My friends and I have a clan consisting of 5 guys and most of us are around 22 to 25 so we're hoping to do a little more leveling then finding one more person to take on the raid ! Really loving this game.. I mean a lot.
Haha so much for Sonys attempt to make people believe it was a first party game! 50% of sales on xbox platforms haha. Can't wait to see how it does IN NA especially with the deal for xbox going on here.
Ugh reading about destiny all week has been pure torture. I have my copy sitting at home but won't be able to play until tomorrow. Out of town working... I think I'm going to invest in one of those gaming suitcases you can get where you put your console inside it and it has a monitor built in when you flip it up and u can play on the go. I travel lots for work I think it could be sweet
Man.. xbox have been blowing my mind as of late. They just continue to add feature after feature. It's pretty incredible just how much support this console is being given. Honestly, it just blows my ps4 out of the water. Now that 3rd party games are starting to reach parity on xbox with games like destiny at 1080p or diablo and middle earth etc there really is not one thing ps4 does better anymore. Such a great time to be an xbox gamer.
I just wish public opinion would away because xbox deserves it they've been doing nothing but making the right moves. They are back and with a vengeance ! Hope to see xbox outsell ps4 the next few months with all the exclusive stuff coming out

Wow so if Sony announced they've sold over 18.5 consoles jumping a few million in only 2 months, and Xbox one has beaten them 2 months in a row now, xbox must have pumped out a frigging ton of consoles these last 2 months ! Glad to see the race starting to even out. Love the competition. I can see me bei ng on my ps4 a lot more in the next few months with all the sick exclusives they have coming but man super excited for those xbox one exclusives this year too
Re: Unofficial Xbox One Chatpad Now On Sale
I've been waiting for one of these forever now! I loved my chat pad for the 360... I just kept it connected to my controller at all times. I liked the additional weight it gave to the controller. It sucks that you have to use up one of your usb ports for this one, and you can't use your headset...
Hopefully an official one comes out soon and addresses these problems. I use my smartphone/smart glass when I have to type large amounts but it would definitely be more convenient to just have my chat pad back! I could type so damn fast with that thing lol
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Forty One
@SuperKMx I've got one tip for you.. if you're serious about taking a real bite out of dragon age, be prepared lol.. it really is the type of game that you need to dedicate to and sort of push all other games to the side for the duration. I am literally 150 hours in and I am just starting to MAYBE see the light at the end of the tunnel lol.. though I'm not sure because I've been playing completely spoiler free.. I've been doing all side activities before going ahead with the story which has been awesome, with one slight problem.. I'm pretty high leveled for the story missions now (lvl 22 which is really high in this game) so that took a little fun away but not much.... mainly because there are 10 high dragons in the game that are damn hard no matter what level you are !
Every time I start to get fatigued by this game something awesome happens and I get into it all over again. I really love this game ! I hope you have a similar experience with it.. it really is quite an epic journey !
Re: Free Assassin's Creed Unity: Dead Kings DLC Set To Release Next Week
Sweet. I bought this game on release day and that was the last time I played it. I decided not to play it until all the crap was fixed and it sounds like most of it have been addressed. Now if I can just finish dragon age inquisition I'll be okay. I have a condition where I literally have to complete all the side stuff there is before continuing with the main story lol... which has really proven to be a problem with this game as the content seems endless
Re: Feature: Game of the Year - Staff Lists
Yeah my mind is blown that not one person had dragon age as a top 10 or even an honorable mention. Makes it seem like that silly stereotype about xbox gamers not playing rpgs might be true lol. It's definitely top 5 on my list and I haven't even finished it yet.
Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Delayed Until May 2015
Ugh so mad about this ! I was so looking forward to this game for February. I actually remember a few months back one of the lead designers of this game said flat out that the witcher wouldn't be delayed again. So much for that :/
Re: Some Day One Purchasers Of Xbox One To Get Free Limbo On Release
@WINGNUT yeah exact same way actually ! I was so surprised when I got it:) I'm really happy especially because I loved the game. Just beat it last week actually.
Re: Some Day One Purchasers Of Xbox One To Get Free Limbo On Release
So I have the day one achievement, have gotten over 22 thousand gamerscore on my Xbox one alone and am very happy with all the things they're giving us. In the last few days alone I've gotten my download code from limbo (used it today and just finished playing it) a day before that I was given the sunset overdrive season pass for free, and then I've also received the email to say I have the background, gamer pic, halo unto dawn , dragon Ball z etc... I am so proud to be an xbox gamer ! They really went above and beyond. Xbox for life !
Re: The Witcher 3 Dev Says 'No' to Season Pass, Free DLC for Everyone
Man cd projekt red are my favorite damn developers and this is just another reason why.
Re: Poll: What's Your Most-Anticipated Game of November?
Haha wow what a list.. thankfully I don't have to choose my titles for this November I'm picking up cod today, then for the rest of the month I'll be getting halo mcc, far cry 4,gta 5 for the second time(can't wait to play that amazing campaign again) dragon age, ac unity and possibly even ac rogue... though I'm fairly confident we will see a definitive edition for next gen coming within 6 months so I might just hold off on that one.
Re: Talking Point: Is Xbox One the Best Value this Holiday Season?
I totally believe that people are really starting to realize xbox one is where it's at this generation so far. I feel super privileged to have been with it since day one because I've owned both since the start and it's been no competition as to which console is better in my eyes. The amazing monthly updates, the higher quality exclusives, the console OS itself is just awesome. It had a bumpy start but since the updates it works beautifully. Multitasking is so good, love having pass through hdmi etc etc... I think the people who are mostly kicking themselves are the ones who jumped ship from the 360 to ps4 because they were the ones fully aware of just how great xbox live is.. and now they've gotten a wake up call using psn. It's not even a comparison to be honest.. and really if Sony wanted to start to charge for online they really had to step it up but didn't. I know it sounds I'm super anti Sony but the truth is I'm not. I bought the ps4 just like I've bought every Sony console. I love their exclusives.. even if the first year of them have been well... crap. I know they will be coming in the future and I'll love them. It's just that, in my opinion the xbox is on such a higher level in software terms.
I strongly disagree with the part of the article that says they don't think xbox can catch up this generation. Look at the ps3 last Gen. . They were getting destroyed by xbox and eventually turned it around. All due to the great exclusives.. and that's the thing about Phil Spencer. He gets gamers. He understands in order to succeed you need the games first, and everything will follow. In my opinion give the console race one more solid year and the sales will be much, much closer.
Re: Poll: What’s Your Favourite Game Directed by Shinji Mikami?
Sweet. Just picked up the evil within and sleeping dogs both for the good ol xbox one can't wait to get into evil within first then sleeping dogs ! Last month I made a bet I could rack up 10k gamerscore from the middle of September until xmas so these games are going to definitely help with that haha I've already racked up 3500 give or take since the bet started lol so I have confidence I'm going to get er done!
Re: Mega Win Monday: Win DiveKick for Xbox One
Did you guys announce the winner of alien isolation?
Re: Editor's Opinion: Our Resolution Resolution
@TOMBOY25 haha I couldn't imagine gaming on 22 inch ! And yeah definitely. I already have a few up on my Instagram if you have IG my nick is @kelvhall pictures really don't do it justice though lol.. it's crazy big in reality. It's just under 6 feet long
Re: Editor's Opinion: Our Resolution Resolution
The resolution bull articles are giving me aneurysms I swear to god. It's actually crazy how many people partake in this stupidity. I own a ps4 and an xbox one and I still buy my multiplats on xbox even though in a lot of cases the resolution is a little lower. I actually bought metal gear ground zeroes on both xbox one and ps4 because of the difference of 720p to 1080p just so I could see the difference for myself, and surprise surprise I couldn't notice a damn thing. I game on a 75 inch tv so it should be glaringly obvious if there were a huge difference. So either the xbox has a great upscaler or those numbers really don't make a difference for games. Either way I'd rather get the games on a platform where my friends are and that I enjoy much more than the other rather than get some superficial upgrade that really amounts to nothing more than ammunition for fan boys.
Re: Competition: Scare Yourself Silly and Win Alien Isolation for Xbox One
When do you guys announce the winner?
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Thirty One
So this weekend for me is going to be full of gaming goodness I beat shadow of mordor through the week and I'm sitting at 950 gamerscore out of 1000 so I'm definitely hoping to get the last few achievements to complete it.
I'm also smack dab in the middle of the alien Isolation campaign, which if I'm being completely honest, has been underwhelming for me so far. I did pay 70 bucks for the thing though so I'm definitely going to try to get it beat.
Besides that, I finally opened up sherlock holmes last night and was pleasantly surprised. I love detective games where you have to solve crimes. It's a nice change of pace from killing everything that moves like usual games lol.. I finished the first 2 cases last night with a perfect rating which was pretty sweet... so yeah hopefully I'll get some more of that finished.
Also I've been dabbling with forza horizon since it came out, I love the game but I can't seem to ever put more than a half hour in at a time. I've never been the biggest racing fan so it's going to take some doing to really get into it.
Haha and LAST but not least, I'm going to be playing some destiny with friends. I haven't played in a few weeks and the boys that still do have been complaining that I'm not playing it enough. We have a clan so I'm kind of obligated. I know once I start to play it again I'll have fun but I've just been ignoring it lately.
Hope that wasn't too long of a post for yall happy gaming guys!
Re: What's Out This Week: October 7th (North America)
100% shadow of mordor last night, moving on to alien isolation today! Oh and still playing forza horizon off and on of course anyone known if styx is a decent game?
Re: Poll: Which October Release Are You Looking Forward To The Most?
Well my choice most definitely would have been borderlands, if it had of been releasing on xbox one but since that's a bust I went with sunset overdrive. I refuse to pick up borderlands on the 360 when we all know if we give it about 6 months it's going to be ported to next gen. A close second for me was lords of the fallen. I'm really excited for that game and it's going to be hard to choose which to play first on Oct 28
Re: Round Up: Alien: Isolation Face-Hugs Critics with an Authentic Setting and Genuine Scares
Yeah I'm definitely going to grab this on Tuesday, though I'm not sure when I'll be able to get around to playing it since just this past Tuesday I picked up shadow of mordor, forza horizon, and sherlock holmes.. so once I finish at least middle earth I'll have a look-see at it for sure
Re: Round Up: Critics Find Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor To Be Precious
@DRL good god no. Lol. If I had to pick between the two it would be hands down shadow of mordor.. but that's just my personal preference because anytime I buy racing games I usually only get about 5 to 10 hours in before I get bored and have to stop playing... horizon does look great though! Thankfully I don't have to choose ! I'll be picking up shadow of mordor, forza and sherlock holmes on Tuesday.. can't wait! Won't get to play any of them til Friday because I'm away working but I'm super excited.
Re: Competition: Win D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die on Xbox One
@SuperKMx I think it's a great way to get word of mouth of this great site out there! Keep up the good work. It's great because it gives your readers a chance at a great game for free and also gives them incentive to show some other people a really cool site. I already own the game myself, so if I win I will be giving it to one of my friends. Good luck everyone.
Re: Microsoft Sets Xbox One China Release Date to September 29th
Wait... what? Those are the only games the xbox one launches with in China? Dear god. That is ugly. It would suck so bad to live in such a oppressive part of the world. I'm sure the reason others aren't coming is because of some sort of problem the Chinese government has with elements of games. Anything they deem to be unpatriotic they suppress. It's insane.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Eight
My weekend will most definitely consist of grinding my way up in destiny. I'm currently sitting at level 25 but I only have a helmet that is legendary and that is really peeving me! So yeah I hear that guy shows up on the weekends with awesome gear so I've been trying to get as many motes of light and strange coins as I can. I think I'm at around 20 of each now.. so I'm hoping that's enough to get me some decent gear. My friends and I have a clan consisting of 5 guys and most of us are around 22 to 25 so we're hoping to do a little more leveling then finding one more person to take on the raid ! Really loving this game.. I mean a lot.
Re: Forza Horizon 2 Demo Now Available on Xbox One
Exciting! Grabbing this now
Re: Destiny Takes UK Top Spot in Launch Week
Haha so much for Sonys attempt to make people believe it was a first party game! 50% of sales on xbox platforms haha. Can't wait to see how it does IN NA especially with the deal for xbox going on here.
Re: Destiny's Level Cap Broken Down
Ugh reading about destiny all week has been pure torture. I have my copy sitting at home but won't be able to play until tomorrow. Out of town working... I think I'm going to invest in one of those gaming suitcases you can get where you put your console inside it and it has a monitor built in when you flip it up and u can play on the go. I travel lots for work I think it could be sweet
Re: Xbox One October System Update Detailed
Man.. xbox have been blowing my mind as of late. They just continue to add feature after feature. It's pretty incredible just how much support this console is being given. Honestly, it just blows my ps4 out of the water. Now that 3rd party games are starting to reach parity on xbox with games like destiny at 1080p or diablo and middle earth etc there really is not one thing ps4 does better anymore. Such a great time to be an xbox gamer.
I just wish public opinion would away because xbox deserves it they've been doing nothing but making the right moves. They are back and with a vengeance ! Hope to see xbox outsell ps4 the next few months with all the exclusive stuff coming out
