the new tomb raider looks more like last of us + assassins creed than tomb raider, kinda disappointing

new halo 5 LE xbox one looks kinda pretty, controller is nice too. i'm gonna stick with my white sunset overdrive one tho, since next year we'll probably see slim editions of ps4/xbone

i barely touched my xbone for a long time, but recently gotten more into it. i gotta admit EA access is a pretty awesome deal, i don't do sports games so i haven't installed a single one of those but i have battlefield 4, titanfall (with all DLCs), and now dragon age for $30/year. even better you can order ea access codes from microsoftstore.com and there is a $10 off coupon on boxes of post sugar bear cereal from stores, so i ended up buying 3 years worth for $20/yr and also $250 of xbox credit for $150, enough to last a couple years for games on sale.

the forzas are so much more fun to me than driveclub, even preordered forza 6 ultimate. if you don't have any of the forzas check out the (free still?) fast and furious forza mini version, its pretty fun and a nice little bite sized version of the game

can also grab really cheap copies of assassins creed 4 & 5 ($15 for both) and halo masterchief ($20-25) on ebay/etc since so many people are buying consoles with digital codes packed in

still rocket league and bloodborne imo make PS4 a much better first console choice, right now. with the fall probably halo 5 will tip it back to xbone assuming fallout 4 and battlefront are equal on both, then No Mans Sky and Uncharted 4 will tip it back to ps4.

I don't particularly care about EA access but $20/year is a pretty good deal. Dragon Age was easily worth that by itself.

I am giddy just thinking about gears remastered, playing Red Dead backwards, Nathan Drake collection, Halo 5, Uncharted 4, Tomb Raider and Fallout 4. Nevermind Playing Wasteland 2 and Divinity again on Console. Going to plug the PS4 in through the Xbone and buy a case of red bull.

This is going to rock.

p.s.

Spronk bringing the deals with EA access. Let's play some NHL or maddens bro.

I won big at the casino on Saturday night so I bought one Sunday. 1 Tb Version with MC collection and Unity. Also bought Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3 used. Titanfall was 9 dollars and with Xbox Live gold the season pass is free. Also got Ori.

Then I went back to playing Witcher 3 on PS4.

Going to be on it playing drunk games with an old buddy on it next Friday night if you have any interest.

Media features are decent, the UI is bloated as shit (I like the simplistic UI of PS4) and I downloaded some apps like Amazon and Netflix. I love how Microsoft's Amazon App won't let you rent movies on the Amazon app like I can on my PS4 because they are trying to drive their own rental model over Xbox Video. So they are still pretty fucking stupid - as that Amazon app is only for Prime video.

Morons.

Anyway, hoping Quantum Break is good, and some other exclusives. All in all, it's not a bad system - but for high value games it will be on my PS4 over the Xbox One. I also realized most all my Xbox 360 friends migrated to the PS4. As I have about 6-7 on at Peak times rather than 40 from the 360 days and over 40-50 of the same folks over on my PS4 now.

Yeah I played an hour or so last night. Some awesome music and gameplay for a platformer. Great story too. Great characters.

Ori was great, couldn't stomach playing it through 3 times for all the achievements though... I keep hearing about SO and it's cheap enough, but I have bought a lot this year. Just got Rare Replay which is incredible for $30.

Oh sorry. Sunset Overdrive. Yeah played for about 5 minutes so far. Seems funny for the first 5 minutes I played it.

bought the rare replay collection which came out yesterday ($30 for 30 or so games?) and man these games are all total shit. i guess they did a good job running it on xbox one, but who the hell wants to play 8 bit crunchy ass games with MIDI soundtracks from the 80s. I did have to check out battletoads, what a shitty ripoff from teenage mutant ninja turtles. A couple of banjo games and perfect dark games are also included, haven't checked those out yet. I was always a pc kid growing up so virtually all of these games are unknown to me, so its cool digging through the normal nintendo/sega people's youths.

a lot of them are running the 360 emulator internally so its cool to check that out too, it all seems to be working really well and i can even go online into xbox live and stuff while inside the "emulator". Microsoft really did an amazing trick/job with that.

no wonder kids today are spoiled, when i look at the quality of the games they are getting this year and the shit my generation had to play
