Just pre-order on Amazon and cancel and you should get in. I don't dig the game, but if you wanna try it for yourself, there's ways in.

This beta is both consoles and PCs.

ClockShot 01-26-2016 01:18 PM

Already got my code.

Xbox one owners get a 24 hour head start before PS4 players.

Sepholio 01-27-2016 01:54 PM

Actually no, no I don't. Gonna go buy some game keys now.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-27-2016 02:32 PM

G2A are shit anyway, no controls and if you buy stolen keys which get revoked from Steam, you're fucked.

www.cdkeys.com is usually just as cheap and legit.

Not really. Remember when E3 downsized? Or when Activision did their own thing? They all come crawling back.

Earthbound on WiiU sale HMMMMMMMMMM

Have Shantae for WiiU already, if the price is low enough I might scoop it up on 3DS as well. Fantastic game

#BROKEN Hasney 01-29-2016 03:02 PM

Some guys that worked on Burnout formed their own studio and announced a game called Dangerous Golf, which they're making sound like Burnout Crash mode, but in golf.

I'm down with that.

Sepholio 01-29-2016 03:11 PM

Yeah Dangerous Golf sounds enjoyable to me. My son will probably love it as well as he is both an avid mini golf fan and a huge burnout mark.

Also, not sure if this is news, but The Witness is pretty incredible.

BREAKING NEWS
 
I bought an XBox One Elite Console because why the fuck not. I now have an XB1 finally.

alvarado52 01-30-2016 04:05 PM

Nice. Have the Elite Controller...really solid construction, but i'll be honest, as someone who's never owned a Scuff, it has taken me time to learn how to hold the thing without accidentally pushing the rear paddles.

Amazing customization with the X1 app though.

ClockShot 01-30-2016 04:46 PM

Still no reason to buy an Xbox1 here.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-30-2016 04:51 PM

The controller is great in Rocket League on PC, but since I only have Sunset Overdrive and Rare Replay, I've only used the hair triggers for Slalom on the console it's self. Saves me holding up to accelerate.

I really wanted to controller and since I'll get an XB1 anyway (motherfucking Scalebound), thought I may as well grab the Elite console while they still exist for that 1TB SSD Hybrid drive.

Digging through the website source code has uncovered Javascript references to a Steam version so it'll probably come out on PC, which will be nice.

Cool. Is 14 already out? 14's an MMO, right? Are 14 and 11 both running "concurrently" online and stuff

ClockShot 02-02-2016 01:53 PM

Went and pre-ordered Final Fantasy 15 today. The combat and "open" gameplay if you will, has me interested to give them $5 for the moment.
