Good for Xbox. If Target would have not declined my card, I would be now the proud owner of an Xbox One. I am very eager for E3 and the first party exclusives Spencer talked about.
@Gamer83
It will take like six months of straight losses to X1 for Sony to wake up.
Not a bad game. I have the Wii U version but dropped it because of Hyrule Warriors, I need to get back to it. Love the instant restarts when you fail, very useful for a color blind like me.
Hope you enjoy all that P* goodness. Love both games.
I will be continuing my Hyrule Warriors obsession. Unlocked all the stages in the first adventure map, but there are many battles and rewards I have not beaten. Got the Toon Link amiibo just to unlock the spinner, my only open amiibo so far.
On 3DS, I may continue with Olli Olli and I want to pick up Boxboy.
And for PS3, I may try USFIV and KOFXIII since my fightstick has been neglected for weeks.
I will probably continue with my routine of Uncharted 3 co op with my bro and Hyrule Warriors for playing solo. I am close to complete the first Adventure map (about 20 black blocks now) and on 3DS I may start Kirby 3D.
No kidding, but this collection would be the last excuse I need to buy a One. Of all remasters this is the only one I am really interested, as Halo is already out.
On the other hand, the fact that THEY are not handling it does not mean it may not come. Monolithsoft is making Xenoblade X while Monster Games handled the 3DS version of XC. I guess MS has other studios they can use to make a remaster. Or at least I hope so.
I have never had cats but I had to do the same with my dog 2 years ago. Tough but unavoidable.
For me it will be Hyrule Warriors. I have been playing it daily for ten days now. Love the civil war settings on some scenarios. I may also get Olli and play Uncharted 3 w my bro.
I just hope it is not a Shadow of Mordor move. I can understand that the last gen version should not gimp the next gen version, but the last gen version should not be an afterthought either.
Why only three amigos? What happened to the rest of the crew?
Anyway, I will be finishing the excellent Gunman Clive 2 that I bought yesterday. Possibly I will beat The Legend of Dark Witch, a cute and competent Megaman clone with mostly female characters.
I am not one to make lists, but this year I enjoyed many games, most of them on Wii U, particularly Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2, Scram Kitty, Shovel Knight and Captain Toad.
Games on other systems include Siesta Fiesta, The Evil Within, Wolfenstein, etc. Still planning to get Far Cry 4.
I played a ton of this this weekend, my bro and I were big RE fans so I played while he watched. I finished playing after beating the Keeper in Chapter 7.
What I hate the most are the lengthy loading times, specially after one of those cheap one hit deaths.
To be honest, it took me like a year to finish it. I started it, played a few levels and grew tired of the incessant chatter of the characters. I kinda forced myself to complete it. I don't regret getting it, though.
I know the thing is like a puppet show, but the cutscenes are long and frequent, so that kinda turned me off. I also find the game a bit hard for a kid's game, as usually you lose your head on a scrolling level with no way to retrieve it. Or when you are climbing a vine or things like that. The heads also have a tendency to fall off cliffs as well.
Nearly contributed to that number, but maybe next year. Seeing things like SFV makes me think this generation will be a company trying to secure third party exclusives before the other one. So I will watch and wait.
Did not help matters when MS did not show anything during the Game Awards. Where is my Scalebound trailer?
My DC failed like 4 months after I bought it at launch. Sent it for repairs and Sega sent me a refurbished unit that lasted another 4 months. That is the reason why I never got a third one. But there is no denying the games are awesome
I am getting Captain Toad today and Smash Wii U on Sunday.
@SuperKMx
I am so jealous of your plans. I have a bunch of old DC games and my VMU still works. Do you recommend getting a Dreamcast or are the lens unreliable and not worth the effort? Thanks!
I kid you not, if I could get the SSO Bundle at a normal price on Amazon, I would have it on my way. I just adore how the White console looks, but not willing to pay $500 for it.
It was a wise choice. I made the mistake of playing all three Sly Cooper games back to back and by the end of the third one I did not want to know anything more about the thieving raccoon.
I do have the Wii U version of City, still in its wrap.

Re: E3 2015: DOOM Gameplay Premiere Confirmed for Bethesda's Showcase
So we watch 10 seconds and then have to wait a month for a reveal? I hope this is not just banking on the name and the nostalgia.
Re: Bullfighting Simulator Toro Set to Launch on Xbox One
I would rather have a virtual bull dying than a real one. And cows die so I can eat them so...
Anyway, there needs to be a Spanish language setting for this one. By default. The title is in Spanish after all.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Six
So I will be the only here who tried Splatoon. Not a fan of online shooters but I had loads of fun with what I played.
Re: Round Up: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Has Dripped onto Xbox One, and It's Reviewing Well
@DRL @SuperKMx
Thanks for the replies. I thought it was a case of money, not time or work.
Re: Round Up: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Has Dripped onto Xbox One, and It's Reviewing Well
So no one in the PureXbox crew will take the chance in order to create a review? I liked the original game, this must be similar.
Re: Halo 3: ODST is Coming to Halo: The Master Chief Collection Next Month
The Collection keeps getting bigger I see. I hope it is decently priced.
Re: Spencer: E3 2015 Will Focus More on First Party Titles Than in the Past
Sounds good to me. Looking forward to Scalebound and the rest.
Re: Review: Goat Simulator (Xbox One)
Thanks for giving an example of a better game on the system. Tons of reviewers miss that, so I appreciate when it happens.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Three
I will be trying to 100% the first adventure map on Hyrule Warriors or start with the second one.
I also need to get my Platinum game that should be New SMB 2. Not too excited about it. I want to continue with Olli Olli as well.

Re: Officially Licensed Xbox One Star Wars Controllers Go Up For Preorder
@DRL
Agree with you, it seems unnecessary. But I would rather deal with wired controllers than with AA batteries.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty One
Here we have a 4 day weekend so I will be playing Hyrule Warriors, and co op RE5 and Uncharted 3. Maybe I will continue with Spy Chameleon too.
Re: Quantum Break Officially Delayed
@SuperKMx
Yeah, I meant that as Sony and Nintendo had one big game delayed, this one is MS's one.
Re: Quantum Break Officially Delayed
So this is Xbox's big game delayed.
Re: Stealth Inc 2 Will Make Next Friday a Good One
@crippyd
NintendoLife already reviewed this one so you may look into that. It got a 9.
Personally I feel it is a great game, with a tendency of killing you at every corner, but with very frequent checkpoints to make it more bearable.

Re: Feature: These Are the Xbox 360 Games We Want to See Remastered for Xbox One
Hard to choose between Red Dead and Vanquish. Don't care about any of the others, and I still want a Gears of War Collection.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - GameBlast Edition
I finally opened Hyrule Warriors. It took me nearly an hour to download all pending updates and DLC.
Maybe later on I will be playing Uncharted 3 co op with my bro.
Re: Rise of the Tomb Raider on 360 Not Being Developed By Crystal Dynamics

Re: Microsoft Announces $50 Xbox One Price Cut in US
Nice to hear. Very smart and it does not seem to be a limited time offer like last time.
Now please show something about Scalebound.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Forty One
I will be finishing the Turbo part of Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo, and probably play more Pokémon X and Tetrobot and Co.
I may go to the New Game Plus of The Evil Within to try the weapons I unlocked. My PS3 has been a bit neglected since I beat it like a week ago.
Re: Rare Composer Suggests That Xbox One Banjo Kazooie Could Be On The Cards

Re: Kung Lao Returns for Battle in Mortal Kombat X
"Mortal Kombat X takes place 25 years after the events of 2011's Mortal Kombat."
I did not know this and in fact makes me more interested in this game.
Re: $350 US Xbox One Holiday Promotion Will Expire This Week
Guess they must be selling them at quite a loss if even the prospect of outselling PS4 is not enticing enough for them to keep the low price.
Another option would be to find a middle ground, like $375 or so.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Forty
@Headestroyer4
Hey, congrats on your new Wii U! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Forty
I will do my best to finish The Evil Within and Captain Toad. If possible I will put some more time on Pokémon X too.
Re: Feature: Pure Xbox's Top 5 Most Wanted Games of 2015
I went with MKX, but I am kinda cheating since that game can be bought on PS360. My true next gen game would be Arkham Knight.
Re: The Evil Within's First Slice of DLC Arrives Early 2015

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Thirty Nine
I will probably continue playing Capt Toad and Smash U. Whoa Dave! on 3DS is 99 cents so I will pick it up.
On PS3 I may continue with Puppeteer. I beat the game but I want to get all of the heads.

Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Delayed Until May 2015
@JaxonH
But man, in October 2014 you got Bayonetta 1+2 and in February you will have Kirby Rainbow Curse.
I will always prefer they pull a Witcher 3 to an Assassin's Creed Unity or even worse, a DriveClub.

Re: Pure Holidays: Our Guide to the Best Xbox One Games Available This Holiday Season
Stop this list, Dave! You will make me pick up a One this Holiday!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Thirty Seven
If I can get my copy today, then Smash U.
But on the safe side, I downloaded a bunch of Wii U games, namely Darksiders II, Lego Marvel and Mario & Luigi SS. I also need to beat Stealth Inc 2.
Re: Ubisoft Apologises For Assassin's Creed Unity Bugs, Offers Compensation

I forgot about that. I guess that is why they said that, since AC is from Ubisoft as well.

Isn't like this for ANY game?

Re: Batman Shows Off New Moves in New Batman: Arkham Knight Trailer
Thankfully this is multiplatform, so no matter which of the two systems I end up getting I will be able to enjoy it.
Although to be honest, I haven't even touched Arkham City.
