Apparently he's not been heavily involved with the NX design like he was with Wii and Wii U. Thank fuck.

Mad max is a badass game. Loving it so far.

ClockShot 04-23-2016 06:18 PM

I played that game wrong. But it was such a blast. Avalanche did a good job with that game.

*hint hint* Try your best to get some of the trickier trophies/achievements out of the way ASAP. If there's a few lingering when you beat the game, you're gonna go nuts trying to get 'em.

drave 04-23-2016 08:02 PM

GTA is now $30 on Xbone...... strongly considering getting it even though I played the hell out of it on 360.

First person GTA seems like it would be "amazing".

drave 04-23-2016 09:34 PM

Woo!

Mirrors Edge Catalyst Beta code arrived. Currently installing :D

Fuck yes, HBO NOW is available for xbox one.

My backwards compatible PS3 just gave me the YLOD after all these years :(

drave 04-24-2016 10:00 AM

Bought GTA - not regretting it. Almost feels like a completely different game.


Mirrors Edge is fucking awesome. Sooooooooooo smooth and fluid and it is open fucking world. Various mission types, collectibles, etc. make it TONS more expansive than the 1st game, which was strictly linear.

Very VERY fun game. So far, it feels worth the $$$$

Ugh.

Overheated? That's what happened to mine. My brother was playing and didn't pay attention that the thing sounded the a 747 ready to take off.

Lost all my data. And I was at the end of Final Fantasy 10.

Should I care about Battleborn? I just started playing Borderlands 2 last week (I know, years behind) and absolutely love it, and love MOBAs. This sounds right up my alley.

ClockShot 04-25-2016 07:08 PM

I think it's choose Battleborn or Overwatch.

I really don't know what the difference is between them other than a plot and that one is Blizzard's and the other is Gearbox's.

ClockShot 04-25-2016 07:10 PM

Side note:

Is there something in the video game water these days that after a big name leaves a company, a lawsuit from one of them soon follows?

I think once each of the last few weeks there's been a settlement or lawsuit.

Only read a little about both games but Battleborn includes a campaign mode that can be played solo or in co-op. Overwatch seems to be just online multiplayer only.

Gearbox pretty much has more to lose since it seems they are banking on this game to lead the hype into Borderlands 3 and their recent track record has been somewhat bad (ex. Aliens Colonial Marines debacle, CEO being a douchebag).

drave 04-25-2016 10:36 PM

I didn't care for the Battleborn Betas I have done so far. I gave it a go for at least 4 hours. Lots of characters though.

road doggy dogg 04-25-2016 11:23 PM

Is it comparable in gameplay to Overwatch? Have a bunch of friends getting Overwatch so I'll probably pick that up. If the two are similar enough I'll prolly pass on Battleborn then.

Nah, they're pretty different. Battleborn plays like a first person MOBA with lanes and trash units and all that, while Overwatch is TF2ish.

Also, based on the betas, Battleborn isn't good and Overwatch is great.

new Nintendo Humble Bundle fuck yeah

https://www.humblebundle.com/friends...tendo-3ds-wiiu

road doggy dogg 04-26-2016 03:25 PM

Nothing too great on there so far by the looks of it. Defs paying at least a buck to get Shantae on 3DS (already own it on Wii U); fantastic game... have Retro City Rampage on PS3 already but for a buck to also get it on 3DS is great

heard good things about Affordable Space Adventures too..

Emperor Smeat 04-26-2016 06:43 PM

3) For those that follow Blizzard and/or recent World of Warcraft news, the company announced the official reason they had to shut down a very popular WoW classic unofficial server for the game was due to IP laws. They had to shut it down in order to comply with infringement rules for IPs or else it could hurt them in future legal issues with the WoW IP which is why they were silent about the situation until recently.

Mighty No. 9 Forevet

ClockShot 04-26-2016 08:02 PM

Played the Nioh demo. Not to sound like a broken record, but it's almost a carbon copy of Dark Souls. But with samurais, ninjas, and spirits.

I'll tinker with it some more, but it's probably something I won't play.

#BROKEN Hasney 04-27-2016 04:02 AM

The Mighty No. 9 thing is bollocks. That was the 2015 release date and it's not been updated.

That said, still expecting a delay for the "netcode" and for the game to still be shit.

#BROKEN Hasney 04-27-2016 04:14 AM

Nintendo announced a new Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem for mobile over the next financial year.

road doggy dogg 04-27-2016 08:22 AM

Seems fitting for Animal Crossing, somehow. That franchise has really soured me after I initially really liked it.

#BROKEN Hasney 04-27-2016 11:32 AM

A screenshot of a Chinese manufacturing plant has shown that there's a "second generation" XBox One that's been in mass production since February. Likely to be out at E3 then.

It's likely it's just a slim console, but it might be more powerful.

#BROKEN Hasney 04-27-2016 01:02 PM

Oh, the Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing games are out in fall. They're planning to have 5 out before March 2017 inclufing Miitomo, so two more to go.

Makes the wait for NX easier... I guess...

Emperor Smeat 04-27-2016 07:53 PM

I'd be more excited for a Remastered (or new) WW II era shooter. Plenty of stuff to cover that hasn't been covered yet and I like the weapons much better.

The Rogerer 04-28-2016 11:41 AM

Are you joking? There was like 10 years of constant World War 2 shooters after Saving Private Ryan. Call of Duty 1, 2, 3 and 5 were set in it. Several Battlefield games. About 12 Medal of Honour games. What hasn't been covered beyond a game where you're turning the knobs in the concentration camp.

drave 04-28-2016 12:49 PM

And your fucking point is?


There are plenty of "tide-turning" skirmishes to be covered. Just tired of the FULL AUTO EVERYTHING type of play.

Fignuts 04-28-2016 03:12 PM

It's been years, and I'm still burnt out on WWII.

Mad excited for MW4 remaster though. Love those maps.

ClockShot 04-28-2016 04:12 PM

All those maps on Modern Warfare were a blast.............except for Bloc. Always hated Bloc.

And it was simple online multiplayer. Doesn't get much better that.
