Got some Microsoft store credit from a friend, enough to buy any game for Xbox One. Any recommendations? I tried the FIFA 16 demo but didn't like it too much. I got NHL 15 already so I don't want to spend money on NHL 16, I think they'll be too similar. And I got a couple of Assassin's Creed games (not played either one yet though).

GTA 5 perhaps?

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Hmm how about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt? Great reviews and my kind of game I think (similar to Skyrim)

It's great even if quite long.

Heard that Battlefront joint coming out in November is going to be dope

 

[Salvo]

Star wars is shit. Looks nice, sounds nice but it's boring.

I signed up for the Battleborn beta program, will see if I get selected

As a Borderlands fan it might be something I'd appreciate.

Has anyone played Fire Emblem Awakening or TLOZ A Link Between Worlds? Thinking of getting one of them soon but I'm not too sure of which one should I get. I've never played Fire Emblem before but I really like strategy games.

So months later I finally managed to finish it today. It's nothing short of amazing, a masterpiece. Easily best Fantasy RPG of modern times and probably of all time.

I'd place it above MGS as best game I've played this year.

Now it has set such a high bar Fallout will really have to be something else if it intends to grab the game of the year award.

Cheers, I think I'll go for it. First Xbox One game I'll buy actually

BTW I got accepted into the Battleborn technical test, haven't tried it yet though, been too busy.

Maybe a little but the Battlefront series is a lot of fun (had them on Xbox). KOTOR was far better, however.

the new one is more like call of duty: star wars than the old battlefronts

Do you mean because the default view is FPS now rather than TPS? Because really that's all the original Battlefront's were, shooting stuff as an avatar.

 

[Salvo]

It seems too simplified. Not much skill involved.

^this

The scale is really small too, before it was like big battles and now it's more just running around in close quarters mostly and ranking up

The old ones were kind of less serious too, now it's more along the lines of battlefield or call of duty

just get fallout 4

 

[JuveJay]

I suppose we had to expect a little of that COD input now when you consider how big and popular that format is, Star Wars/Lucas is big brand and they want big sales. The originals came out 10 years ago now, roughly the same time COD was starting, so things are different.

I don't think I'll buy Battlefront myself, Fallout will definitely be first (and my continuation with the AC series). I'll probably get someone to buy it me for Christmas or something.

On another note halo is very good
