@Utena-mobile Good taste. Can't fathom picking this over those with all of the DLC. 50 bucks for a season pass on top of that little content on disc is ridiculous.
@A_BabyRed_Yoshi The campaign was great, though do consider the drastic changes they made to multiplayer. I liked it, but there's a difference between evolution and completely ditching Halo's arena roots.
@EternalDragonX It never hurts to support your devices, and MS still seems devout to giving Windows Phones one last chance. I wouldn't mind this, even if I hadn't chose the Lumia 640 over the Moto G.
Waiting for this to come in the mail. This is the last Konami game I'll be getting for the foreseeable future, thank you Kojima-san and all your great staff. Wishing you all the best in finding a new job, anyone who worked on this has credentials.
@Gamer83 Ground Zeroes's gameplay was a blast, much funner than Snake Eater. SE's a great game, but more for the story and characters; The gameplay can be fun but is generally just passable. I will agree GZ's overpriced though, especially the physical next gen copies. The Phantom Pain will be amazing, I'm sure.
@Gamer83 In a way, it'd be better if he joined a 3rd party since nobody would be left out of his future games, but EA's only marginally better than Ubisoft, which isn't exactly saying much.
I got one computer on it already as it has been for weeks (Insider Program), but I'm still waiting on their servers for my main (the one that can actually run games).
@Gamer83 Many could, I just don't think anyone's interested. Til that changes, Sega will keep greenlighting games featuring Sanic the Hedgehog for the foreseeable future. Thanks for ruining my childhood guys!
@JaredJ Me too. Hopefully Game Freak does more side projects like this.
Edit: And hopefully the next one can sync with the Steam Cloud before it crashes. Dammit.
@SuperKMx Some Internet commenters...I remember seeing a guy like that once. He made some remarks about female gamers in front of his wife and kids (all girls no less) the second he walked out of a video game store. I thought, "What kind of father?" Can't wait to see what his girls think of him when they're grown up and he needs something from them. Heck, he'll probably be divorced by then too.
Nice. Not as many as the men's teams, but I suppose women's sports are less popular anyways. What matters is it's good to see recognition for the female athletes as well. You'd've almost expected a 20 dollar WFIFA DLC pack from EA just a couple years ago. I may never buy this game, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
@Red620Ti And now Microsoft has created the perfect video game controller. Bundle that with a wireless adapter, and I'll get one for my PC. GTA V car guns baby!
Good read. I'm amazed at how dysfunctional things are, on both sides. Hopefully MS can clarify the release schedule and indies can start having some real PR, it all sounds absolutely horrible to deal with.
@Gamer83 Yeah. I can forgive them once but I only have so much to give. I won't preorder this (I probably won't have an Xbox One by then anyways), but if it turns out good like I hope and expect it will, 343's redeemed. So far it's looking great, but I've learned not to set my expectations too high.
They have a web player too? Well it looks like I can get one more program off my computer. I was planning on removing Norton and Bing Desktop, but it looks like Google Play Music manager can be added to that list. If OneDrive can handle that duty, that's a few seconds off my boot time.
Competition is always good for the industry. It's unfortunate if you have a PS4 though, as you'll be stuck with Madden. I was never into sports games to begin with, but it looks like MS has secured another exclusive.
@DRL I'm all for last gen ports as long as the game isn't neutered for the sake of selling it on more consoles, but this is getting outrageous. I own a 360 and no Xbox One, but I'm baffled by how long developers have supported it. I've moved on to my PC for new games and clear my backlog on the 360, so I guess a lot of people still haven't moved on. At least this means the servers are still gonna be up for me; that's the one good thing I can make out of this. Til then it looks like the gaming industry will be reliant on decade-old hardware.
@EternalDragonX What's really depressing is how it outsold Monster Hunter 4. I can see picking up The Order for 20 dollars if I had a PS4. (Which is what it likely will be once people catch on to how outrageous an asking price of 60 dollars is for that game.) But over Monster Hunter, a better game at a lower price? Gaming these days...
@A_BabyRed_Yoshi If you're willing to blow 10 dollars (Steam price, no idea what it will be on Xbox) on a glitched out sandbox filled with nihilistic goats licking everybody on a GTA-inspired rampage, then yes. If you feel that such a thing will lose its novelty and be a poor impulse buy, then this is not for you. If it retails for 20 dollars I'd say no deal. How much it's worth to you is entirely subjective, but I have a feeling it may be even less.

@Ryno I almost forgot the last time they had a sale. It seems like forever.
Re: Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass Announced and "Detailed"
While it looks fun to play, that's too much to pay. Looks like GOTY Edition for me, I ain't getting suckered out to be a Beta tester.

@ElkinFencer10 The latter might be a bit extreme but the stores could use a little talk, and the trolls a little ban.
