I bought an XBone rofl

[AdmiralViscen]

My friend is sick of it and wanted to buy a PS4 so I bought his Day One plus an extra controller for $300 cash

[Yulwei]

Forza is pretty damn fun and addicting. I recommend it

[AdmiralViscen]

What if I am typically bored by racing games? I liked Burnout Paradise and PGR

Then don't get Forza. It's a racing "sim" and not an "arcade racer."

[demi]

Xbox One is ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ right now. Hope you like Netflix

[AdmiralViscen]

Yea this shit is super underwhelming. How the mighty have fallen.

I just want Halo stuff so whatever, it will gather dust for a couple of months.

[thisismyusername]

Actually, I kinda lie since you can kinda play Forza like an "arcade" racer with casual mode doing a lot of things/training wheels to kinda dull the "sim" aspect but it's still a sim. You might want to try the demo...

The rumble triggers didn't really impress me with the in-store demo of Forza, BTW. Kinda felt... stiff or something. hard to describe outside of "not really innovative and obnoxious." The idea sounds good, but the execution leaves a bit to be desired.

there was a sale on mgs and titanfall.

ryse is worth a playthrough. amazing visuals and I liked the story. dead rising is fun but can get tedious with its infinite fetch quests.

This doesn't really apply to Horizon.

Yeah, but Horizon on the X-box isn't out yet.

[AdmiralViscen]

There doesn't appear to be a demo for Forza 5


I forgot I claimed a free download code for Killer Instinct around the Bone launch so I've been playing that. It rocks. It's stupid that the $40 pack isn't price reduced when you already have the $20 pack.

[demi]

Pinball FX2 is free - at least, the Sorcerer's Lair table gives you 1000G.

There's also the current free gold games - Crimson Dragon & Strike Suit Zero.

[AdmiralViscen]

CD is shit right? Is the other any good?

[G The Resurrected]

There is a way to get a refund on KI if you contact M$. I bought the regular $20 season but ended up purchasing the penny arcade edition and got a refund in M$ spacebucks.

You should check out EA access its a pretty good value.

Also if you've had live but not gotten the free games with gold games from previous months there's a department of CSRs that can add them to your account.

[demi]

If you missed out on the game two months in a row, you can always Buy it on Amazon

I didn't pay for it though, I got a download code for being a longtime XBox Live subscriber or some shit. I don't know if they'd pay me for that.

[G The Resurrected]

Its worth a shot, worse they can say is no.

[demi]

 I havent used mine because my fucking headset is broken. Gonna buy a replacement and do a dirty return if the other works.

[AdmiralViscen]

Apparently I can use the Sony Gold Wireless thing I have for PS4.... if I buy the chat adapter from Microsoft for like $25. Also they are still doing Play and Charge, lol.

This console really compares poorly to the PS4, even before you get into resolution and frame rate.

[G The Resurrected]

Plug and ghey is awful and of course you have to buy a whole kit when all you want is the proprietary battery for your multiple controllers. But at least it has a fairly decent battery life compared to the PS4 controller.

Xbox one is more of an entertainment device than a game machine and for some that might be OK but for most it obviously comes up short.

[AdmiralViscen]

I refuse to plug this shit into my cable box.

Where are you Master Chief?

[MCD]

Eneloop, energizer, nyko, official...plenty of options and all longer battery life than shitty Kaz batteries.

That adapter thingy? Gives you game and chat volume right in your hands instead of in the OS.

[AdmiralViscen]

Titanfall is really good

[AdmiralViscen]

Lag is pretty bad though

[Third]

Wait for Tomb Raider

[Mupepe]

DR3 is really good and totally worth your money.

[Yulwei]

Wait for Tomb Raider

That's like saying "Wait for Lair"

[MyNameIsMethodis]

xbone would be cool if it had games but alas it doesnt

[Squiddy]

I've come around to liking the Xbone, but it still doesn't have any interesting games. Anything I like, I can get on PC (including project spark), and the multi-plat titles I'm interested seem to be getting the PS4 DLC exclsuive treatment (Destiny.)

I would buy one if they released some innovative Kinect titles though, but lol kinect.

[tiesto]

If MS ever moneyhatted a Lost Odyssey sequel I'd get one, but that's guaranteed never to happen.

[Trent Dole]

Meth is blatantly trolling here but I'm gonna say I disagree with him anyway!

[AdmiralViscen]

Anyone wanna play Titanfall lol

Also is the DLC worth it

[G The Resurrected]

DLC is not worth it cause no one buys it. A lot of the rooms for DLC are just dead when you want to play. Weekends are ok but weekdays are DEAD.

I'll play some Titanfall with ya sometime It's been a while and I don't think I got to 50 yet.
