The CAG redesign isn't finished yet and they've said in one of the massive threads that they are working on improving it.  They are also going to add the black theme at some point and hopefully tapatalk support again. 

as for Mars: WL, I've played a bit of it and it definitely worth picking up at the price AMZ will offer it at.  I picked it after launch and have played through 2 of 3 acts and intend to finish it up at some point.  a little rough around the edges, but it has a pretty good combat system and a half decent engine to run on.

when is Sony conference?

In 6 hours, I believe. Right when I'm sleeping.

yeah

same here.   I'll need to find out whether to be angry at Sony after I wake up.

launch trailer

Will Titanfall be on PC?

yep, and 360 too.

In with PC.

love the zombie counts and the open world elements.  I hope the smartglass stuff isn't the only way to deal with hordes though.  seems like a cheap cheat to get you to buy in. 

Confirmed for XBone.  not exclusive though. 

PS4 will come in around the same price

which means I'll only be getting one of these.  and less likely at launch either.

you would think that after the pricing bomb, I could get a decent stream for a minute at least. 

jeebus, $500?  bugger all. 

Titanfall looked good, but damn.

A game from the Sworcery people?  looks a bit odd. 


btw, have a crappy stream on gamespot.  anyone have a decent site to watch this on?

I may need to break my rule to wait until the pc version and just double dip on this.

In spite of your taunting, teggy has a point.

It does leave you wondering how well these people can understand English.

Access your entire games library from any Xbox One—no discs required: After signing in and installing, you can play any of your games from any Xbox One because a digital copy of your game is stored on your console and in the cloud.  So, for example, while you are logged in at your friend’s house, you can play your games.

sweet, no more swapping discs!

from the Kinect page:

A fitness game could measure heart rate data to provide you with improved feedback on your workout, allow you to track your progress, or even measure calories burned.

still curious about the heart rate thing.  I didn't realize cameras could pick that up all that well.  I've heard of an iPhone app that supposedly does it, but you have to be very close to the camera.

This will go great with the blu ray disc size and ISP data caps.

Yeah, I guess this works out okay.

Until they bless us heathens on Android or PC with a version, EA Seattle, Popcap can take their game exclusivity crap and stuff it where the sun don't shine. 

Picked up Gunpoint and the Swapper on the PC. 

OXM review - 8.0

They liked the open world with the scavenging gameplay and focus on noise as a way to get around stealthily, the mix of gameplay elements and upgrades and dropped points for the mediocre graphics and minimal story.

I can deal with the graphics issue as I'll be waiting until the pc version hits anyways and I can accept it when a game is shooting for the scope this has.  I don't need a grand story and find that in apoc games, it can be a detriment as much as it can help depending on how limiting it is on your actions.

I would like to see an HD version of the Fable were were originally promised.   

I did enjoy the first game (and the second as well, despite some issues), but I kind of wish this would be an HD re-intrepretation so they could make some of the areas larger and expand on some ideas.

Yeah, like the trees you plant as a kid that grow up with you.   That would be revolutionary.   Oh, and they can add the fish ai from cod ghost dog for the bees when you go to smell the flowers.

Too bad that Pete is gone.   After #3, I was expecting #4 to be completely stripped of those bothersome rpg aspects and just give us a full on friendship simulator.

Does this mean it will hit streaming soon?  God, I hope so.

I hope they can give us a date on the pc version soon after the xbla version hits.  I'm interested, but not enough to buy it there.

I wonder if the girl in this video will stop watching.

come for the funny, stay for the schadenfreude

I'll probably be buying this today.  Hope to get some time with it.  Reviews have been positive.

Been fighting the flu this week and still have a few days before I'll be completely over it,  so not much gaming time.

Looking for time with recent purchases off Amazon's sale.

went back and finished I am Alive. 

2016 and starting from scratch though.   Interest level resets until they show us something new.

[Xbox One Achievements to receive a monthly cap]

Xbox One Achievements to receive a monthly cap

yeah that headline doesn't quite say what the article means..or what people thought at first anyway

"We're seeing people get all 1,000 Gamerscore in the first two weeks, and then still be playing that game two months later," said Gibson.

"We want developers to offer Achievements and interesting things to do long after a game ships. You could be playing a game for a year and get a couple thousand Gamerscore because the developer is adding new Achievements every week or every month."

"Developers won't be adding 10,000 Gamerscore a day," Gibson continued. "The cap is, developers have Gamerscore they can spend every month. We don't want to overwhelm gamers."

it sounds decent enough i guess,we will already have the 1000 for each game(i presume,after what the first line of the quote says),not including what the developers add to the game at a later date(and for free i may add,not just because DLC is out)

Achievements for games sound much more exciting for this next gen

I like the idea, certainly for sandbox style games where you can do more ridiculous things. Games like Crackdown took advantage of this kind of achievement (eg: spear 3 people to one bus) but they were static. It could even work its way out to a monthly challenge. Racing games too.


As for the XBLA titles, I'm very disappointed, though I understand the architecture is different - some games have been ported to other platforms - so couldn't they go to those devs and get their PC-engine games certed and offer those to existing license holders?

I really hope they could do something like that with XBLA/PSN games that have been ported to the pc. But, I doubt that either company is going to spend the time and money to bother when they've already decided to forgo having why kind of software emulation for BC.

Has there been any progress in emulation for this generation on the pc?

Looking forward to the PC review.  btw, if you are interested in the PC version, GMG has it for 37.50 after using this code.  GMG25-PLPFE-BCSAS

code is valid through 6/7

I wouldn't say there is no interest in this just yet.   First post is only a day old, and on A Friday at that.

Myself, I pick up these indie puzzle/platformer type games all the time due to their regular inclusion in the various game bundles so I'll likely pick this up down the road.   

Btw, I know what it's like to have low response threads.   It happens a lot when your gaming interests vary from the norm.

Looking for time with recent purchases off Amazon's sale.

Thanks, guys.   I put the first one on my wish list so I'll probably pick it up. I think the sale's through Sunday.

Almost makes up for the time I bought L.A. Noir and Steam put it on 50% off two weeks later (or something like that).

well then this won't help.   LA Noir complete is going for $10 with a copy of Max Payne 3 on Amazon right now.

all steam keys.  can't beat the bundle for Telltale games.  Charities are EFF and Child's Play

I agree. Looks great!

 

ATB must be on a low sugar mind bender as he's necro'ed 4 different threads for seemingly no reason.

Played about 4 hours of Defiance with the free weekend and watched almost 3 hours of the show.  Left wondering why either is getting renewed.  The game is nothing too special imo, and not what I would drop $40 bucks on.  upgrade paths are weird, the skill system is limited to one skill and a bunch of passives which only slightly tweak your character and every character above trash mob is a bullet sponge with very little reaction to the hundreds of rounds pumped into their flesh.  Arkfalls look nothing like the kick ass one in the show and resort to everyone in range throwing enough lead at the respawning bugs to get a slightly better weapon to sell on the store. 

The show featured an incredible cast of D-list SyFy-special actors (and one decent actor from 20 years ago) acting like approximations of much better actors from other shows. 

I also played Sacred 2 up to the first crash, resulting in a hard reset on my pc.  should have listened to my backlog and ignored it. 

with the exception of Halo 4 (which I drifted away from 1/2 through) and AC3 (which I would have ordered on PC if it had launched the same day), all of my major XB360 game purchases were on PC.  I've bought ni no kuni and Sly Cooper on the PS3 and also played Infamous 2, but not more than my PC gaming time. 

As much as I would love to play around with the new tech and be able to experience the thrill of a new console, I don't see enough to push me to buy and replace the consoles I already have.

hell, put the HD version on PC running on whatever engine they have ported it to and I'll buy. 

I still have my GTA4 lockbox, key chain and duffel bag.  iirc, it wasn't as expensive as the CE is now and certainly has more included than this one does.  where's the statue R*?  I figured you would have had one after MP3. 

I'm torn on this one right now as I really want the PC version instead of console and would rather get the SE for that one, but I don't necessarily want to wait whatever indeterminate time R* has chosen this time before releasing it for PC.  dare I say it, but too bad it isn't Ubisoft.  at least we'd know the PC version would be a month after the console. 

In day one, next gen!








on PC 

it should, it is their FAotD. 

glad I checked. picked this up. 

that looks really cool.  like the ultima 9 that never was. 

a few odd thoughts.  

if the one-game per account doesn't take into account same system play on different accounts, that would be a deal killer for most.  if the fee for pre-owned is too high then I would expect the original copy should work.  too low for the fee and I would expect original to stop working.  
how they deal with where the fee goes will be interesting.  they could make themselves into gamestop territory.  or they could pay back to the dev.

Live subscription fee?  not mentioned leads me to believe it will be higher or have tiers added in.  

XBLA ports to One?  this would be a huge loss if they don't have some way of bringing them over.  I expect that it won't be an option though given the architecture change.
