its been a very busy month for me to be honest, i might have some time this weekend. I'm just hoping to complete another chapter in halo 1 before the next update launches and yet again resets my save points. argh. lol has this happened to anyone else??? i was 10 minutes away from finishing level 7 and then the evil forced update notice arrived and i could not get back into my game.
Microsoft should download the updates in a temp folder and then when its done you have the choice of when you want to apply the patch. that would make it easier on many people. just my two cents
@castlezelda, Well GTA 5 is really last gen. I do agree that Evil Within is a great game as well. for me last gen on PS3 it was Infamous / Uncharted and Burnout Paradise.
I must have put in easily over 125 + Hours into burnout paradise. how i miss Burnout.
@SuperKMx , iAP is fine with me way better then paying another monthly fee.
Im still waiting on news of Phantast Star Online arriving to XBOX One, the Vita version has yet to arrive in Europe / USA. I doubt that its ever coming. My guess is we will get borderlands 1 Remastered for XBOX One before a Phantasy Star Online XBOX ONE game is announced.
i think Microsoft should first start streaming 8 / 16 Bit retro games first as I'm sure there are lots of people out there who would love to play those classics again.
They wouldn't require much tech in the background but it would be a great start.
Tomb Raider 2 being exclusive is a good thing, they can use the extra funds to further develop the game and now they only have to worry about one console instead of both
Street Fighter V (5) is PS4 exclusive. knowing capcoms track record with street fighter expect the following games 2015 Street Fighter 5 2016 Super Street Fighter 5 2017 Super Street Fighter 5 Arcade Edition 2018 Super Duper Ultra Hyper Sonic Boom Street Fighter 5 Edition.
One of those other versions will hit XBOX one. lol
going by the black friday sales of UFC for around $12.00 and Titanfall for $ 10.00 I'm guessing that both of these titles will be added to the vault by the end of the month. Don't be surprised to see NBA Live 14 added as well.
Now another prediction i have is that NHL 15 will be added by March 2015.
I also created a forum posting regarding peoples predictions.
thanks for the review. i know i asked about this device last month. so good to read a review. a lot of people don't even know about this amazing remote.
@stylon , good point. but to be honest its also another thing lying around. i have a old ps3 usb controller charger two usb port device and i use that to charge all my controllers its come in handy over the years.
i don't have interest in this product, i prefer the play and charge as you can still play when the controller batteries die out, while this one needs to be docked to charge which can ruin the fun.
I was a big fan of infiniti blade, its was a great apple iOS exclusive. getting that on xbox is good news. honestly the more good FREE To PLAY games the better. I hate FREE TO PAY.
I don't mind grinding either as long as there is a way to play and advance in the game without constantly paying its good
@crippyd , I'm talking about this week. I'm up for some online co op. I'm usually online from 10pm-1130 each weekday. I'm in canada. so I'm assuming you are 5 hours ahead which puts you around 3am
honestly i think it will be a great experience with the smart glass. to be honest not all FREE TO PLAY or FREE TO PAY games are crap.
Honestly i don't like candy rush as its made for you to lose, where as infiniti blade can be played via grinding instead of forking out $$$. there is no grinding , just begging people on Facebook to help you for candy crush.
@stylon, you make a good point. i've also noticed that as well. i would pre order from future shop and best buy during there e3 promo which is pre order 3 save $ 20 off each game. i think its just better to purchase the games when i clean more of my back log instead of at release date.
i don't know what to think to be honest. i did enjoy the first game a lot but it required lots of grinding, none the less it was a great short game. if they are free to play ill be more then likely to try them again.
@SuperKMx, i got a friend who purchased nhl 15 at full price and he told me to hold off tip its either $20 or on EA Access by march. he hates the game and says he feels like it was rushed.
it was a great call to review it after, which is a good thing. i guess they should of tested the game more before hand. i don't mind as long as its being patched correctly and less issues in the long run.
not too bad, i still haven't played the game yet. the review score of 6/10 is great for a board game. i don't know how many board games get above 7 to be honest. i know the buzz games usually average 7-8 in reviews.
was anyone gotten the you don't know jack bundle? good or not good?? you would figure they would have a demo for this game.
honestly its not that big of a deal as they are fixing it as time goes on. the day one patch was a big download while it took forever to download. i didn't mind it as i could play the campaign so it wasn't as bad
@Tasuki , im upset as the same thing happened to EA's NHL 15. gimped the next gen version. I don't see why they would release a half baked version, it leaves a sour experience for the customers. I have no other options for WWE on xbox one as thats the only game till next year. ill pick it up when it goes on sale.
say it aint so Ken, not another sports game that i was looking forward to and it get a low review. We both had our hopes up for NHL 15, that flopped and now this. I wish these studios would do a better job with next ten instead of gimping the games.
i hope these game crashes issues also get fixed too. Ive had the game crash on me a few times. sometimes it would lose audio when the controller battery dies, and once i charge the controller the sound is off. I had to shut down the console and restart it to get audio

Re: Rumour: Microsoft Working on Game and App Streaming Tech Named Arcadia
@castlezelda,
Your right back then finishing a game mentioned something. We grew up with hard games and no save points everythung had to be done in a sitting.
Nowadays mobile games are made to cheap to Sucker you into iAP. Kinda reminds me of the old arcade machines.
But in all honestly the 3d games we have nowadays are more emersive and more realistic.
My favourite game this Gen has too be dead rising 3. What a amazing lunch title. I finally jumped in and got the season pass.

Re: DmC: Devil May Cry & Devil May Cry 4 Coming to Xbox One
I think they should of re-released The Devil May Cry Collection for XBOX 1 / PS4 instead of these 2 separate games.
Re: Japanese Xbox One MMO Onigiri Heading to US and Europe
the first MMO for xbox one, great news indeed. is there a monthly cost to this game ? or is it iAP?

Re: Infinity Blade Confirmed For Xbox One With Kinect Support
i was hoping this game would work via smart glass somehow as I'm sure that would be more accurate then the camera
Re: More Patching For Halo: The Master Chief Collection
@HEADESTROYER4, your right they didn't have a beta, but they got one planned for halo 5.

Re: Review: WWE 2K15 (Xbox One)
@SuperKMx,
I would assume 2K would patch the game up to make customers happy. Did EA add more stuff then what was promised?
I'm on the fence still on NHL 15. i know its selling for half price. its tempting, i just don't have too much time to play it right now.
Re: Review: WWE 2K15 (Xbox One)
@SuperKMx,
who would of thought so many next gen games were gimped this year. maybe its a trend for 2014. hopefully its gone in 2015.
maybe they will patch up WWE 2k15?
have they fixed up NHL 15 (two months after release?)
Re: Xbox One Weekend Digital Deals Confirmed
wow NHL 15 is on sale. ill get it
damn even walking dead seasons 1 and 2 is a steal in that bundle
Re: Review: Assassin's Creed Rogue (Xbox 360)
so this is better the Unity???
Who would of thought...
Re: Review: WWE 2K15 (Xbox One)
@Tasuki , im upset as the same thing happened to EA's NHL 15. gimped the next gen version. I don't see why they would release a half baked version, it leaves a sour experience for the customers. I have no other options for WWE on xbox one as thats the only game till next year. ill pick it up when it goes on sale.
Re: Review: WWE 2K15 (Xbox One)

Re: Halo: Master Chief Collection Patch Launching Today - Details Here
i hope these game crashes issues also get fixed too. Ive had the game crash on me a few times. sometimes it would lose audio when the controller battery dies, and once i charge the controller the sound is off. I had to shut down the console and restart it to get audio
