    Yet! Just wait for whatever Sony Santa Monica, Naughty Dog and others are doing. Also, Infamous Second Son will be awesome for sure.


    At this point, I honestly can't see why anyone would buy a XBoxOne, and the fact that you mentioned that with it you're gonna get "extra DLC's on it" it's proving that you're grasping for straws there really.

    And look man, I'm a developer and if it was up to me, both consoles should sell 100 million each and both would sucede like a mother fucker, but right now It's looking really bad for Microsoft. I hope they manage to turn the situation around in a few years time.

    That said, unless you're REALLY looking forward to get your hands on the fresh breeze of next gen, there's not a lot of incentive to do it right away, the launch titles even though this is the best launch titles list from any console ever released, it's still a short list and many of them are cross platforms.


    Yep you're right, I guess my point was looking at the launch titles I'm not sure which console to get first and which would therefore probably be my primary console, as the 360 was this generation. It's an expensive commitment even to get one of them and whichever I get will also be the one a couple of friends and my brother get too, as we always play games like COD and BF together. I will end up getting both for the exclusives eventually as I particularly like Naughty Dog's output, Infamous looks cool but then so did the first two and I ended up preferring Prototype over either of those, never been into God of War. The DLC remark was just because I always get the DLC for COD, it's not a game changer for me to get it early by any means


    And yeah like I said I won't be getting anything until January anyway, launch prices are too expensive. Disappointed that games have gone up in price too, but then I suppose that's inevitable. Killzone is listed as £60 for the default game on UK site SimplyGames at launch, though by comparison new games on there for 360 are commonly around £35-£40

    I'm a bit confused currently following the news about both BF4 and COD running better on PS4, being a 360 owner currently (also have a PS3 but only for exclusives)...can't decide which to go for. When MS announced the XB1 I was disappointed about many of the things most people were, 2nd hand game sales, Kinect being packaged with it, the lack of power compared to PS4 etc. MS seemed to turn a lot of that around (except the price, I don't want a Kinect) and I thought for a while I was back on for getting an XB1 over a PS4.


    To me, the XB1 has Titanfall which looks awesome and DLC exclusives for games like COD and BF which I like playing, but is also more expensive and has these apparent issues with running games in certain resolutions, some are saying it may always be the graphical underdog this generation. The P34 on the other hand sounds cheaper and more powerful, however they haven't got any exclusives I'm particularly bothered about (Killzone is something I would play though). What do I do...


    Either way I'm not getting anything until January when there are sales and cheap bundles

  • Pacific Rim

    Really enjoyed this too, much more so than Superman. My major complaint would be that it's hard to tell what's going on in a lot of the fight scenes, but apart from that (and a couple cheesy bits) it was awesome

  • What have you watched recently?

    Quote from D3ads

    Anyone else been watching Hannibal? It's pretty damn good...

    Yeah I was trying to pimp that out on here the other day, first season was awesome!

    Quote from Beck

    Started watching "Under the Dome" which is based on a Stephen King novel. Not a bad first episode. We'll see how it goes.

    Came on here to post the same thing

  • What are you playing now?

    Quote from Sentura

    2033 the chapter with the biomass is so fucking annoying. last playthrough (before last light), i didn't even bother with it. easily one of the worst designed experiences out there (though i'm sure it's rivalled easily by experiences in gears of war and cod)

    That's the point at which I stopped playing the game, never to around to finishing it. Played through Last Light though and enjoyed it.

    Currently playing COJ Gunslinger, pretty good fun actually, I like the duelling sections

  • The Last Of Us - SPOILER THREAD

    It seemed that when the guy and his brother got attacked and I was sniping from upstairs, that fast moving health meters appeared above their heads and I only had time to save one, so assumed there was choice there. Could be mistaken.

    Also I understand of course why they made the companions invisible, wasnt complaining about it, my point was that invisible or not it's distracting when someone is stomping about and running everywhere when you are in an area you've been told to be as quiet and slow moving as possible in to avoid detection, that's all.

  • The Last Of Us - SPOILER THREAD

    Do we have to use spoiler tags in here? It's a spoiler thread after all...anyway...

    Really enjoyed it, was doubting it at first as after the initial opening section it descended into familiar Uncharted territory facing off against human enemies and didn't really capture what I thought what the game was going to be about or seem that unique for a new IP, It did eventually get going though when Joel met Ellie and I ended up really getting into it. I love how ND put so much effort into the little details, like that little rabbit that Ellie kills with the arrow and strings up to her horse, or the giraffes, or how Ellie gives you a high five at the Dam when you hook up the bridge across it.

    Actually thought that when Ellie was in prison the guy they were chopping up on the table might have been Joel Would have certainly been one memorable way to end it...I did like the ending and felt it made sense (Joel replacing his lost daughter effectively), but I hope it wasn't contrived in such a way as to prepare for a sequel, I think I'd be happy with it as a standalone game. ND could of course prove me wrong though.

    There were some minor issues, things like AI companions running about loudly whilst you're trying to be quiet, or moments where you are sneaking up behind someone and Joel suddenly shouts 'Ellie, stay with me!' that break the tension, nothing too bad though.

    Overall it was awesome

    By the way the bit with the guy and his brother mid way through, was there a choice between which one you saved? I let his brother get bitten and die, then he ended up shooting himself anyway, but it felt like I could have easily let him die, did anyone have things play out this way?

  • The Last of Us

    I didn't actually realise we got it so good in the UK, don't you guys have the possibility of ordering games online and getting them early? It's standard here to get them at least one day early with certain companies (pretty much guaranteed), sometimes two days early (except the really big releases)
