    1st person mode is confirmed for the re-release of GTA5 on PS4 and Xbox1. Holy poop!

    Yup. Campaign is pretty good, but short like all of the COD games. I only play hardcore on multiplayer and I am disappointed they didn't stick the classic mode without jetpacks in that playlist. I am not enjoying it as much but that could be because all of my usual teammates haven't gotten next gen yet. Running around with a bunch of unorganized strangers can be frustrating. Was hoping for hardcore free for all. Wish they would bring that one back. Gameplay is a little faster than usual and the maps seem a little too clean for my liking. Would like to see more multiplayer maps in actual war zones. Not just pretty buildings.

    Got it on release day, but (as usual) been too busy to give it a go. I think I have a free day Sunday, I'll fire it up then.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition looks like an amazing RPG. I didn't really have this game on my radar since the 2nd Dragon Age wasn't all that great, but this game looks like classic Bioware. Most reviews are saying 100 hours in there are still tons of things to do and places they have yet to visit.

    I'm looking forward to next Tuesday.

    With all the other games coming out this month, this one snuck in under my radar. I might have to pick this up as well.

    Looks like Dragon Age has a pretty serious bug that can crash your system, at least on PS4 and PC. I may wait a few weeks to make sure it's in the clear.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Me too. I can play that game endlessly. Checking out the new Assassin's Creed at the moment. After playing Shadow of Mordor, the attack and movement mechanics seem slow in comparison. Will take a little getting used to again.

    Played a few rounds of the COD, not bad, nothing special, just some nice mindless fun.

    Speaking of bugs, sounds like the AC Unity has more than it's share...

    Joystiq's score is quite a bit less friendly than IGN's!

    I've read mixed reviews as well but I can never resist these games. Bugs suck but, at least these days they can be patched. I remember a gamebreaking bug happened to me once on GTA san andreas for PS2. I couldn't progress the game and had to start all over from the beginning. I was almost finished. I was pissed.

    Very true, there'll probably be a hefty patch in the near future.

    I like Assassin's Creed but after AC Brotherhood I was pretty much sequeled out. I did buy Revelations to finish off the Ezio storyline when it was 9.99 on XBL, but I haven't played it yet.


    Also, anyone who is a member of the Xbox Live Rewards Program (and I assume you are if you're an XBoxer), they're offering 15$ back in the form of Reward points in your account for every game you pre-order through their store. In your account instead of your pocket, but sure beats a kick in the teeth.

    I played it for 360 and loved it. No replay value though.

    Yeah, I like how it is almost an origin story. Gives a lot of options for future titles.
