    Been on a COD kick lately. I need to get back to some Halo 5
    Haven't played COD in ages. Closest thing in Halo is SWAT, right?

    I'm loving the Warzone Assault mode. Quick games and a lot of action. Played a lot of arena but they need to add more game modes.

    Been playing more Fallout 4 recently. Once you get into it, it is a good game. Had some awesome battles in some great scenery. Took on about 100 ghouls in a town Sunday and it took me over an hour and I had to employ/invent numerous strategies. The big prize at the end was a 2072 World Series baseball bat I will never use.

    Been playing Tom Clany's The Division.

    It's MMO but plays fine as solo. I have no clue what I'm doing but it seems fun.

    Thinking about finally getting xbox one. Got rid of my 360 a few years ago, but I was playing FIFA at a friend's house last week and I think I'm ready to get back in. The 500GB model is only going for $300...not too bad.

    You should. This generation's consoles has been great so far. Quality games, solid hardware (no rings of death or lights of death).
    If you change your mind and go the PS4 route, my PSN name is "mca47". :D

    I think it's worth it and I only use it for streaming one game (over 100 hours into Halo 5 :blush:)

    Ha, nice playtime!
    I am only on the third stage of H5 as I spend most of my time in Destiny (followed by Forza 6).

    Indifference - I'd recommend an upgrade to next gen for sure. I don't know what it is about XB1 compared to 360 but I have far less video game ADD than I used to, I'm sticking to one game instead of buying everything I see.

    I agree. Got sick of buying games only to play them a bit and not have time for it all.

    Pretty good - though I usually can't say anything bad about it. But I'm pretty sure NBA2K has passed The Show as best sports video game.

    My only gripes with this game is they need to develop something where urgency over presentation is improved - just because a 1st basemen nonchalantly gloves a simple grounder to underhand to the pitcher covering 1st does not mean to do that slowly when a guy like Brett Gardner is the one hitting the ball, and nearly beats it out due to showing off the animation of a simple groundball pickup.

    And the commentary has become stale and redundant.

    End of rant.

    I didn't play last year's version, so I can only compare to the last PS3 version I played. Probably grab a copy tomorrow.
  • Has anyone played Yoshi's Woolly World for WiiU?
    The concept is pretty cool and the colours/detail are amazing.

    Dark Souls 3 coming out soon. Good reviews so far.
    I'm def going to get it!

    Shit, that reminds me, I never finished Bloodborne....or Dark Souls 2. hahaha...oh well.

    I'm getting terrible at finishing games.
    Still have to finish the two I already mentioned as well as Metal Gear, and Fallout 4.

    And I want to get the new MLB The Show.

    Ugh!

    Dark Souls 2 dumb health bar getting cut to 50% max after dying several times kept me from continuing on. I enjoy the challenge of the game but taking 50% off that can only be filled back up with a rare item seemed more like a kick to the nuts when the game designers know you are going to be constantly dying. If DS3 has the health bar feature, I may pass on it.

    I have actually instituted a rule. In order to acquire another game, I need to complete two of them.

    I know many who thought DS2 was way easier than DS1. I had a much harder time with DS2. I got to a point in that game where I literally got stuck at a bonfire. From the bonfire, it took a good 20 minutes of fighting huge fn dudes to get to the boss. It was also a big spot for invaders. If you made it to the boss without getting killed by those huge dudes, you almost always got invaded. Ugh! Even with help it was hard as fuck! The longest/furthest I got against that boss was about 20 seconds. Repeated that process a number of times then quit.

    The got rid of the hollowing in Dark Souls 3. Looks like there is still a lowering of the health bar if you die, but it takes a max of 30% instead of 50%. I'll probably be getting this game tomorrow.

    No hollowing? Really? So you're human the whole time? I wonder how the invasions will work?

    Surprised to hear someone not finishing MG. MGS4 was the best game I ever played until I played 5. I don't think anything can ever top those 2 games in terms of straight gameplay quality. From another world man

    Yeah, I was juggling like 3 games when I got the new Metal Gear game. I'll get back to it at some point. I hope I can remember the controls when I do...
