Re: Review: Alien: Isolation (Xbox One)

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.

Re: Assassin's Creed Unity Xbox One Bundle Leaked, Includes Black Flag

Emanouel

@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.

Re: Review: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Xbox One)

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.

Re: Editor's Opinion: Our Resolution Resolution

Emanouel

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.

Re: What's Out This Week: October 7th (North America)

Emanouel

@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

Re: The Master Chief Collection To Include Former PC Exclusives

Emanouel

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.

Re: Round Up: Alien: Isolation Face-Hugs Critics with an Authentic Setting and Genuine Scares

Emanouel

@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.

Re: Round Up: Alien: Isolation Face-Hugs Critics with an Authentic Setting and Genuine Scares

@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.

@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.

Re: Review: Chariot (Xbox One)

Re: Round Up: Critics Find Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor To Be Precious

Emanouel

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.

@SuperKMx.

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.

By the way I sent u a invite via linkedin.
