Amazing review Justin, I've been playing the game and I'm really loving it. I've been soo busy working so many hours that I don't have the time to play games.
I'm looking forward to getting more time in with this gem of a game. I'm still in chapter 2.
I had a feeling this game would get delayed , I'm glad as it one less game I need to purchase now. This will be good when there is a shortage of games released in the start of 2015.
Thanks ken. In sure you will post it here when news gets out regarding next months preview.
@EternalDragonX, you should post those comments on the xbox feedback site as they are listening and there is always room to improve. Sorry I don't have the link to the site.
@Gamer83 , im not that crazy about ubisoft games either. but assassins creed is a huge franchise and giving two free games with a console is always a huge bonus. I was so spoiled by Dead Rising 3's open world that i didn't really like watch dogs. I was so impressed by dead rising 3, heck i spent over 2 months playing that game daily without playing other games that much.
I think the best new xbox console combos will be 1. sunset overdrive 2. the halo console bundle.
Sunset over drive is looking to being one if not the next big IP from microsoft. it may look like a underdog to many but i have high hopes for it.
wow another great game. I'm getting very behind on my games lately. ill probably pick this up during the holiday season. i still have to finish metro 2033, and play more diablo while also just getting started with alien isolation. I wish i had more time to play all these great up and coming great games.
Honestly, as long as the xbox one game runs at a resolution higher then 720P I'm happy. Look how good dead rising turned out being a launch title. even though its 720P it has a lot more stuff going on and you can tell this game apart from the previous gen. Thats what upgrading is getting a more powerful console then before and getting a better experience.
At the end its up to the developers who tweak there games the best way they can, and even if all xbox one games run at 900 instead of 1080P I'm happy. The xbox one has a great scaller to up convert without any loss in picture quality. Im playing on a 47 inch LG tv and i love it.
I had the PS4 and yes it is more powerful hardware wise, but the controller doesn't last long, its quite limited to the internal hard drive space of 1.5 TB max while the xbox one has up to 8TB hard drive support. and in reality the games are getting bigger, i don't want to keep removing games and then spending hours to re download old games i removed as that becomes a hassle in the long run.
Im glad i switched to the xbox one as MS is now listening to the fans as you can see with the Full media playback support, 3D blu ray support , external hard drive support.
My best friend was on the fence between both consoles and he tried both of them when i had them he ended up choosing a xbox 1 due to these 3 reasons over the ps4.
1. MKV support
2. external hard drive support
3. better controller battery life
He knew the ps4 hardware was superior and it had better resolution, but at the end those 3 things mattered more to him than just a few graphical gains.
@SuperKMx, I remember someone stating that the japan version does have English text in it, so in not sure why sega hasn't released it yet. You would figure that sega would want customers money, I guess money Isn't important to them. I guess my best chance in playing this game is to get it on the gamecube. But the gamecube version sell for around $80 Canadian.
SuperKMx, I regret selling my dreamcast as I loved phantasy star online. Sega has taken forever to bring part 2 to North America / Europe.
Honestly this collection would be great for someone's
Man cave / entertainment room. Problem is I don't have the funds or even the time to
Play all those games in my life time.
@SuperKMx, that really sucks that they put the dlc codes there instead of in paper. I might skip this edition and wait for a Halloween sale on the dlc
I'll download the Gamecenter for Xbox one , I was a huge fan of
It on the 360 as it had the better picture quality compared to Apple TV and ps3 . I'm hoping that xbox agian gets the better version with higher bit rates
It looks like I'll be getting the new dead rising edition as I held off of purchasing the dlc. Any word if it supports the same save file from the original game???
This collection keeps getting better and better, as if anyone didn't have a reason not to get this package.
I just wished Microsoft came out with a bundle that had this game as a digital download for free as I'm sure this will sell a huge amount of consoles. sony did that in the past when bundling the gran truism games with the ps2.
@SuperKMx, can't wait to read the review. Let me know on what you think of the game. I know we both got burned with nhl 15 and this is another huge game I'm looking towards. If this is a dud then all hope goose to wwe 2k15. I know halo collection will be solid
@RonJMaclean, I got them mixed up with the official xbox magazine in the UK as they are still around. I was a yearly member from the start as well. They did have great articles in there each month, but unfortunately times are different now with high speed internet.
Welcome to Purexbox.com its actually a good site to visit and connect with other fans. I have been enjoying the community here for a while now and its not like there sites that people go there to start issues with other people.
@Tasuki , i have a huge backlog too, but i haven't played any last gen games in a while. i have been able to finish most of my xbox one games. I don't think ill be able to finish metro collection as halo collection will be out next month.
I hope to have metro 2033 finished next week and then start on last light.
@hydeks , i agree with you regarding on the ign review issues. I do put more faith in Purexbox vs other review sites. remember IGN is owned by fox network and they have taken $$ on a few reviews. i got a feeling the GTA 5 HD editions will get 9.X / 10 while the halo collection will be around 8.x /10. i know there is a lot of work being put into remastered these 4 halo games vs remaking GTA 5.
In the past i would be so hyped for a NEW GTA 5, but i skipped it when it came to last ten as i had a feeling they were going to port it to the xb1 / ps4. But honestly after playing Dead Rising 3 i now have benchmark for what a next ten open world game should be like.
@RonJMaclean,
Is OXM still around? i thought they closed down that great magazine. It was amazing when it first came out, getting a bunch of cool demos every month.
@Tasuki, i also played the first one last gen and loved it, its a shame for part 2. I was really loving the setting being in the future instead of the past. Ill eventually pick up the game later on.
@DRL , Any word if konami plans to reissue the Lord Of Shadows series to next gen as a remake collection? i heard bad things about part 2. has anyone here played and enjoyed lords of shadows 2?
I usually don't trust IGN due to the fact that they get the wrong people to review games. i know a few times they got people who hated the genre to review games. I think this happened with the double dragon neon where the first sentence in the review was about how the reviewer didn't like the genre.
@SuperKMx, The Mega Drive / Sega Genesis was also my first taste of the NHL Series. I actually played NHLPA 93 which was the original which had play off mode and it was such a big improvement out what i was used to on the NES. NHL 94 was such a amazing game so many improvements over the first one, battery backed up season was such a blessing.
I hope for the leafs to make the playoffs too, but I'm not a fan of there captain. I think they should have traded him a long time ago. other that they do have a young team with lots of potential.
wow this game sounds cool from the review, ill download it tonight and enjoy it this weekend, i still want to work on finishing metro 2033 before playing a new game.
I wonder if px will be reviewing this game, like other users here I've heard good things about this game.
@hydeks, honestly I don't go to Ign as often as I used to.
For xbox news I come here exclusively for nintendo it's either nintendo life or nintendo everything and for playstation it's push square, playstation lifestyle or psu . Ign has some messed up reviews from people that hate the genre that is being reviewed. While other reviews look like they were paid off.
Thanks for the info. If horizon is more Arcady I'll probably enjoy it more. My favorite racing game was burnout paradise I ended up with over 125 + hours into that game.
Iill try out the demo and see how it is. I'm really getting excited for project cars, it's looking better every new announcement.
@DRL thanks for the info, I wasn't a big fan of the rewind feature Or the handling of the last game. I'll probably skip this game and wait for
Project cars. I read mixed things about the latest need for speed title. I'm still Willing to give it a Chance as well
@DRL, wow i didn't know that, I'm just wondering on the handing of the cars and i might pick up this game later on. i guess my best bet would be to try the demo thats released
