Excellent. Been waiting for this one to be added. I'll never buy an EA game again. I just patiently wait for them to appear in the vault while I catch up on other things. The service is indeed a great value.
That's beautiful. Definitely getting the controller, and I keep trying to talk myself into the console, though I have absolutely no "need" for it, but it would match my Halo 4 360.
Weird...currently says unavailable on the Xbox online store and there's no download option on the Xbox. My wife plays the iPad version a ton so I was hoping to get this so she could try it on the TV.
Picked up Forza Horizon 2 again and am falling in love with it...again. Also some Gears 3, which I never got around to before but just started. Perhaps a little Sparkle Unleashed as well. Busy weekend though with work, baseball back from the break, and WWE Battleground Sunday Night.
Not much. Gotta work Saturday and spending Sunday installing a new HDD on my PS4 and reinstalling and re-downloading games. Gonna take all day. Might work on Skylanders with my wife on the X1.
Hugely disappointing news. My favorite series by a wide margin on any platform. I was really anticipating it coming out some time in the next year or so.
Actually no immediate plans...finishing a Lego game to 100% tonight and from there...who knows! Certainly my backlog is big enough to handle whatever strikes my fancy.
Hope it doesn't have another 4-player local co-op achievement like the last one. It's not always easy to round up four pads. I did enjoy the last one well enough so will probably pick this one up when it hits the bargain bin.
Already owned them all but Movie and Batman 3. Picked up the former, will wait until the latter is cheaper in the future. My backlog is overwhelming already, anyway.
I haven't played nearly enough of the candidates, unfortunately, but of what I have have played I'd have to go with Far Cry 4, a late winner over runner-up Wolfenstein. That's just multi plats, though. XOne exclusive would have to be Forza Horizon 2. Overall game of the year would be Hyrule Warriors (console) and Tomadachi Life (portable).
Can usually find them cheaper in physical form if you can wait it out for sales. Over Black Friday I walked away with them for about $16 a pop (the ones that are out, that is).
I wonder how much he actually has invested in that? I have one bookshelf full of "modern" games — Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS, Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, Vita — and I feel like I have way too much! Sadly I foolishly sold all of my older games years ago. I had probably 75 NES and 75 or so combined Genesis/SNES/N64 games.
Skylanders. Love playing it with the family. Outside of that, definitely Sunset Overdrive. Also looking to pick up a few others when they get cheap: Alien Isolation, NBA 2K15, and Borderlands, assuming it doesn't go next-gen, which it probably will.
Can't believe I forgot this in my first post...Skylanders Trap Team! We're getting up bright and early to head to Toys r Us and Target to pick up figures and Best Buy later when they open to get the starter kits (one dark, one regular).
Still waiting for the option to actually join a club to open up. I've played a couple of hours and even unlocked about 150G worth of gamerscore and still can't join. Hopefully I will make enough progress to join up tomorrow.
It's a good spot to farm weapons and armor upgrade parts. The blues I receive, which are drastically more than through normal gameplay, never grant me anything of use. I was stuck on level 23 for the longest time because I could never get anything that had more light than what I was using. Finally got enough Vanguard rep and marks to get a couple of pieces of armor. Now I only need a new chest plate and everything will be legendary or exotic. I won a legendary Scout rifle for upping my Vanguard rank. Also sporting legendary fusion rifle and rocket launcher. Bought an exotic helmet from the vendor the other day. Now I am just a few lights away from 26.
Still hovering in the middle between levels 23 and 24, so no go yet. My drops have been insanely unlucky and only rarely do I get new armor that has a higher "light" level than what I am currently wearing. Still hammering out Vanguard and Crucible to get legendary gear. I've found one legendary item in a blue engram, and that was a rocket launcher. The game is tons of fun, though, lack of a good story be damned.
Destiny, Destiny, and more Destiny. Loving it so far. Level 19 Titan. Also a bit of the SSB early access demo, maybe some Skylanders or Lego with the wife.
Picked up the first from retail the other day in a 3-pack for $15. Picked up the sequel for $5 digital on this sale. Nice. Played them to satisfaction on the PS3 from PS+ offerings and am looking forward to digging through them again on 360. Ah, the backlog grows!

Re: Lords of the Fallen Removed From Ultimate Game Sale Amidst Confusion
That stinks. I guess I will wait for the inevitable dirt cheap black friday sale.
Re: Ultimate Game Sale Goes Live: All The Deals Here
Lords of the Fallen still showing at $59.99 for me. Oh well.
Re: Ultimate Game Sale Goes Live: All The Deals Here
Wait...is Lords of the Fallen not in the sale after all?
http://majornelson.com/2015/02/17/ultimate-game-sale-2015/
Don't see it listed there.
Re: Ultimate Game Sale Goes Live: All The Deals Here
Will pick up Lords of the Fallen and Lara Croft for sure, and maybe Sniper Elite III and Terraria.

That's about what the big Titanfall LE cost...how did that sell?
Re: Feature: Game of the Year - Staff Lists
I haven't played nearly enough of the candidates, unfortunately, but of what I have have played I'd have to go with Far Cry 4, a late winner over runner-up Wolfenstein. That's just multi plats, though. XOne exclusive would have to be Forza Horizon 2. Overall game of the year would be Hyrule Warriors (console) and Tomadachi Life (portable).

Just got EA Access so probably a couple of things off of that. Also Hyrule Warriors and maybe Tomb Raider and...who knows.
Re: Feature: Pure Xbox's Top 5 Most Wanted Games of 2015

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Thirty
More Forza 2, and maybe Middle Earth if I can peel myself away from Forza. Might go back to Destiny after about a week break. Not sure.
