Xbox One Games: The Real Meat Around The Bone

[TX85]

Oh damn I didn't know that but that's cool. I haven't bought it yet but thought it would be a whole separate game

 

[Benstamania]

If you bought it from the store, or received a code, you just need to select Halo 3 and then ODST.

Haha, yeah. I found it seconds after posting that. Doesnt help on the debate whether it was a full game or expansion though haha.

The regular Xbox One thread is in one of "those" phases right now, so I'll post this here instead:

I ended up buying Metro Redux since it's been on sale at Amazon for $20 for awhile now. Did some reading about it, sounded interested. Was kind of confused at first when I popped it in and it was asking me to chose two options. Somehow, despite actually reading stuff about this, I missed that it was actual a remastering collection of two games haha. It's good so far, though, with 2033 is.

I've played a pretty good deal of this now. It's a great game, really interesting.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah the Metro games are definitely interesting. Nice to have an unusual setting.

 

[Travesty]

I never played them.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I finished 2033 yesterday. It's quite good, but pretty short. I hear Last Light is better overall, though. Already worth the $20 I spent, though.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Probably ready to trade in Arkham Knight and was thinking about ESO. Anyone here play it? I fully intend to play as much solo as I can so was wondering if anyone knows how viable that is?

 

[Benstamania]

I have it. Love it. It's Elder Scrolls with buddies. It's fully playable Solo outside of instances or dungeons and even the dungeons can be solo'd if you're good enough.

It's combat is combat is basically Skyrim combat also.

Great game. Highly recommended.

Gamescom in a nutshell

 

[Poetic Chaos]

9 AAA games to buy before the year ends (10 depending how heavily Stone Cold factors into WWE16).

 

[X Knight]

so my initial collection of X1 games is:

Halo MCC
AC Unity ( it was free with the console. )
Sunset Overdrive
Diablo III

when DAI drops to $30 again, I'll pick that up, too.

 

[Travesty]

If you have Gold, you can start DLing free games right now. You can get Metal Gear right now.

thanks for the tip.

I don't have Gold right now, though I do have several unused sub cards lying around that I've accumulated over the years.

 

[Benstamania]

I'm really excited for GamesCom tomorrow.. Even tho I have to work all freaking day. Also I sat down and decided to see how many games I'll be picking up this fall/winter.. And so far it's only 4.

MGSV
Halo 5
Tomb Raider
SW Battlefront

Yeah I left off things like Mad Max (waiting for a sale) and Gears (also waiting for a sale) but I'm shocked that's all I plan on getting.

I didn't count Fallout 4 since I already have it pre-installed.

 

[Iceman]

I'm only getting Gears, Battlefront and Halo. Otherwise concentrating on my backlog for the rest of the year.

 

[Travesty]

For X1, I'm getting:

Forza
Fallout
COD
Mega Man Collection
Rare Replay

I might get Battlefront, but I'm not sure yet. I'm gonna wait for reviews on that, but it looks great, and I like Star Wars.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The only thing I'm for certain getting on Xbone is MGSV and Blacks Ops III at this point.

 

[Benstamania]

I already have Rare Replay installed as well. There's a Mega Man collection coming?

 

[Tron Bonne]

IGN's First for August will be Scalebound and the coverage will begin August 6th. I'm guessing tomorrow we'll have a sort of re-reveal of the game to see what type of game it actually is, and this IGN First thing will flesh it out.

Figured I'd post this here, since the other thread is in one of it's tech talk phases.

Yes, HD versions of MM 1-6.

 

[Benstamania]

Well damn. Where was I?

 

[X Knight]

For the rest of the year, the one game for sure is Fallout 4.

TR is also a sure bet - but I kind of want to wait for some kind of BF or B2G1 free type deal. Same with Halo 5 and Destiny and Forza Horizon 2.

And I'll probably still end up getting WWE 2K16, unless it looks really bad or they mess up on the features or something.

 

[Benstamania]

Ew Destiny.

 

[X Knight]

Ew Destiny.

well, the Taken King edition seems more like a complete game ( iow....what it should have been at release. )

but I still don't want to pay full price. but if there's a good sale/deal around the Holidays and I get pick it up for < $40, I'll consider it.

 

[Travesty]

If you're in the Preview Program, they just put up Shadow Complex for BC compatibility. Some sites are saying GOW is up, but it's not showing up on my X1 yet, just Shadow Complex.

What does the Taken King add? Story related stuff?
