    I'd definitely check out the new Fallout....as long as it wasn't as buggy as the last couple.
    New Vegas...or whatever it was called completely ruined the end of the game because of a bug. I started a mission, left to get ammo or something, came back and the final mission wasn't open anymore and I couldn't restart it. Made me really mad! All that time and the very end of the game got corrupted. Ugh!

    Fallout 3 (dc) was incredible and if you are someone who goes for all the side missions and 100%, is a masterpiece. Even the dlc are great.

    New Vegas seemed sloppy and rushed. It was buggy and wasn't nearly as tight as the dc game. Also things like invisible walls if you managed to go off the grid and get up mountains sucked. I'm a huge fallout fan and didn't finish.

    Any car/race/simulator video game people here? 'Driveclub' looks pretty good. Out in October.

    I usually have a wheel set up for racing games, can't play on a remote control.

    I am all in for racing sims. Next gen wheel set ups aren't looking too good right now.
    Fanatec just emailed me about a thousand-dollar wheel base and indicate they have plans for next gen wheels....but for that price they can keep them :)

    The Crew for XB1 also has some potential, and Forza Horizon looks great. Played the demo and it's more or less the same as Horizon 1.

    Rumer is the re-release of GT5 for PS4 and xbox1 will let you play it as FPS. That would be awesome if true.

    Ok so I finished the story part of Destiny. Left me wanting a little more. Found it to be incredibly easy and repetitive. The game is visually beautiful and some of the smoothest gameplay I have ever played. It just feels like it is unfinished. I am guessing in large part because it is. There is incredible potential and all kinds of directions they can go in. I hope they utilize it to it's fullest. Now it just seems like I am farming to level up with nothing more to look forward to. I give it a B+. I am optimistic they can come up with some fresh stuff to add to it, as they left it full of room.

    Very tempting to get into Destiny. Everyone I know is playing it. Got a month away till Bayonetta 2 which I can not wait to play. Loved the first one. Then November the Mario Kart 8 Pack 1 release.

    I would recommend it based on the potential. Not something I'd want to jump in late when all the people online are much higher rank. The story just isnt very deep or long for the size of the game. That being said, there are multiple game modes you can grind on and rank up with or against people. I was looking forward to a good story and some fantastic cinematic sequences. Not as much in there as I had hoped. What was there is pretty incredible.

    My last two wheels have been Logitech g25/27, I'll keep my eyes on fantec and see what they bring out next.

    Not sure of DriveClub is more Sim than Arcade, I prefer more 'realistic' Physics, so hoping it's in line with Gran Turismo.

    For me, I would be playing the single player story campaign mode. Not a big fan online multiplayer gaming.

    The yearly releases of COD burnt me out many years ago but the new one looks promising. But I tend to prefer more futuristic games.

    I actually skipped the last couple. I might pick this one up. Seems like enough of a difference to maybe make it worth it this go round.

    Thinking the same thing, I may get this new one after avoiding the last 2.

    Agreed on sim vs arcade.

    As for Fanatec, they've got a good fanbase, but my experience with their CSR Wheel has not been great (it works well, but it's cheaply made and not cheap to buy ;)

    If anybody is into the assasins creed or batman games, the shadow of mordor game that came out yesterday is fantastic so far. I can't comment on too much of the story line because I have been running around executing monsters for the last two days. A cool feature is the enemies getting promoted if they kill you and becoming more powerful members of Sauron's army. This game is pretty violent and the combat seems a little smoother than AC. Just my two cents so far.

    Picked it up today! Great game so far. Basically AC and Batman in a Lord of Rings setting. But it works! Probably 2-3 hours in and I can't wait to play more! The AI promotion thing is really cool. Right before I logged off I was attacked by 5 captains! It did not end well! Hahaha! Good game!

    When they sound the alarm in their turf you are pretty much screwed. Hahaha.
