my game time will also be limited by birthday celebrations this weekend, but when I'm not too busy I'll be playing...
Watch Dogs (X1) Finally started this game after almost 2 months of owning it, so far I'm enjoying it a lot!
Blood Omen 2 (Xbox) friend recommended to me to try the legacy of kain series, so I got this and despite it being one of the "worst" in the series, I am enjoying it alot!
LoZ: Twilight Princess (Wii) all this week I was playing alot of NES classics, which made me want to replay my fav Zelda game I've played to so far (haven't played Skyward Sword yet ) This will tie me over till I receive the copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the mail
I hope he's right, because I've played on both PS4 and X1 and I can't figure out why people like the PS4 at all!! The Xbox One deserves more sales, it's getting original and unique games, the online service is WAY better then PS4 and, sorry to say Sony fans, but that PS4 interface is a joke compared to X1.
@Gamer83 I use to really like PlayStation too but since the reveal of the PS4, I've noticed Sony basically seems full of themselves, and for no other good reason then that they came out at E3 and said the system would be cheaper. Now that the X1 is technically cheaper, why would you bother to even consider owning such a shitty made console?!? (my god I hate that DS4 controller, why didn't they add a actual touch screen instead of that! )
some great stuff (evil within, borderlands, killer instinct etc.) and some really stinky stuff (duck dynasty) are coming out this week, not a bad selection at all. I'll be looking into peoples reviews and reactions to The Evil Within, cause it seems like it will be a great game.
Definitely gonna consider picking this game up, just need to get Sunset and Halo first. Awesome review, if the combat is basically Batman, that there sells it for me ^-^
Yea, I never cared about game websites complaining about that stuff, I always thought it was the games that mattered. A lot of the time they like to pick on Xbox One for this and I feel like telling them "we get it, your bias and love the PS4, just shut up and review the games already" lol
I'll be playing the turkey eating game! (Thanksgiving long weekend in Canada, WAHOO!)
When not doing that, I'll be playing more classic original xbox games (Legacy of Kain Blood Omen 2, and Brute Force) and I might bring out the old SNES and play some Battletoads and Double Dragon and Battletoads in Battlemaniacs.
@EternalDragonX I agree completely with you. I own a X1 and my sisters boyfriend owns a PS4 and other then the new controller, I see nothing really great about the system, especially for it to be $50 more then the X1 (in Canada X1 is $399 while PS4 is $450) And to be honest, I really don't like the PS4 controller, the joysticks are too small and stubby and that touch pad thing is incredibly cheap feeling. Hopefully games like Halo and Sunset Overdrive will convince people this Xmas to buy the X1 though.
I've been interested in this game lately just because I've been seeing the little ads for it on this site lol It sparked my interest cause I had no idea what it was, but it looked pretty cool
I'm very interested in the game, and they better bring it to the Xbox One. If it's only a PS4 exclusive, I'll be passing on this game, which is a huge shame
Sunset Overdrive, don't even need to look at your list lol ^-^ I pre-ordered it and I can't wait to play this game!!! I would say Alien Isolation and The Evil Within are great contenders too, though.
Yea, I'm gonna agree with the others here, I too hate IGN and think there reviews are crap I'll listen to OXM and Destructoid on this one, it seems like a true Aliens game from everything I've heard and seen of it. It seems lately IGN only gives the huge games with huge buzz a good review, even if the game doesn't really deserve it (Destiny....)
Nintendo owns Japan, a American game company like Microsoft would never make sales over in Japan. Best to just focus on the west, the hell with Japan It's hard to take a country serious when Nintendo's stuff is #1 there lol
Some very good reviews, I guess I might have to re-consider getting this game! (I'll ignore Destructoid's review cause I think there as crappy as IGN and Gamespot now )
@kensredemption no, I think it's more of a "bring the price down cause it's too high and needs to compete with PS4 price range" kinda thing. 329,99 in pounds is almost $600 in CAD or $540 in USD, so they could have easily brought the price down, just to compete with the PS4.
I really doubt this is gonna hurt many peoples feelings over there China has gone along time without any proper gaming consoles, a couple more months isn't asking much Besides, I doubt the system will sell there at all.
great review, and your ALOT more honest then IGN and that where (IGN is a bunch of sell outs it feels...)
Personally, I still won't get it cause I find no value in buying a video game that is online only and will be useless in the future when the servers are down. Maybe if I pick this up in the future and it's on sale, I'll give it a go then, then I'll trade it in after before it becomes a useless disc.
@DRL you and me both, I can't wait to play a Xbox One updated version of Halo 2, possibly my favourite Halo game! (Halo Reach might be in 2nd place...)
@EternalDragonX agree with you, with everything getting a "Game of the Year" edition less then a year later for a cheaper price and comes with all the dlc, why bother buying some of these games at the beginning anymore? I haven't played this game yet, basically because I knew it would eventually get a GOTY type edition
Probably a problem with their units because i bought a kinect-less xbox one a couple months ago when they first came out at GameStop and mine runs great and is VERY quiet (I sometimes forget to turn the system off how quiet it is lol)
Microsoft already said they would replace those consoles, so those people that bought it off Amazon can probably just get in contact with them and get a new one
Looks cool and everything, but I need to see more of it. Might be a good budget game for $40, just have no idea about anything on this game yet The screenshots sure do make me think this will be a game for me, though.
Sounds like Minecraft became a bigger thing then he ever thought it would. Naturally people will say he's leaving cause he hates Microsoft or something, but it sounds like he just wants to make indie games, not games that are a huge hit, so Microsoft purchasing Mojang was probably a great move.
@Gamer83 ya, I know what you mean -_- And to the people that think Microsoft destroyed Rare, obviously you didn't play games like Donkey Kong 64 or Jet Force Gemini, or Star Fox Adventures Basically without Nintendo babysitting Rare and telling them to use there characters, everything Rare has made was shit after the Battletoads, original DKC series, and GoldenEye
Maybe.....just getting very sick of re-releases of games from last gen that really don't need the "upgrade" I plan to buy either Dragon Age or FarCry 4 that day, because the will be new games
@Gamer83 very good point, they would need to appeal to the Japanese companies, too bad those same Japanese companies seem to basically abandon Japanese style games though for more American style games. It's hard to say what would get Japanese people to buy a console, especially since most games are trying to sell to the huge western market. I guess when you try to cater to one market, another market is gonna suffer huge
@EternalDragonX actually, I agree with you, so don't feel too badly lol I think you just worded it in a bad way that would surely upset people
@Gamer83 that could be a another big factor too, my friends don't have it and don't plan too because of the online only thing, that and I have no friends with a current gen (X1, PS4, and even Wii U) so Destiny would be a very dull experience for me. Halo on the other hand, it usually has couch co-op, and I usually don't have any troubles finding someone who wants to play Halo lol
well, I have to admit I was interested in the game, till I heard you have to be online all the time and there is no real true single player, so as hard as it might be, I'll pass on this game. I don't feel like having a game that will later become a useless piece of plastic I'll gladly wait for Halo The Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 Guardians instead of picking this up, cause those games are guaranteed to have offline single player campaigns
The japanese aren't even going for the PS4, did we actually expect them to like the huge american Xbox One system??? I think gaming culture in Japan is basicly dead cause no one wants to make the cutesy Japan games, cause they don't sell anywhere else, probably why Nintendo is doing so well there right now, and PS Vita is doing not too bad there too. Microsoft is just wasting money releasing there system in some areas, Japan being one of them.
@Gamer83 I was expecting it in January or February, probably why I'm disappointed right now. I mean come on, I gotta wait til freakin June next year, that's 9 months away! GRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Official: Microsoft Slashes UK Xbox One Price
