I bought an XBone rofl

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

Forza is pretty damn fun and addicting. I recommend it

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
