DreamTheater 131 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The Xbone + Halo bundle is 399 euro, don't know how much that would be in dollars.It's the same price as just the console and no game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The only Xbox bundle right now in the US comes with AC Black Flag and AC Unity.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I wish. I tried Unturned tonight. Pretty brutal. Minecraft style graphics with DayZ gameplay, spawned with no clothes or gear, forced to find weapons before the rather quick zombies maul you to death. Not bad for free but pretty hard until I get gear and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the reason I can't bring myself to get one, even for Halo. I'll wait till it's sub £200, because that price point would better reflect what you get for your money. But even then Halo 5 will have to have incredible gameplay to make me think about biting.Well Last of us is certainly...linearThat's exactly what it is.

But even then Halo 5 will have to have incredible gameplay to make me think about biting.I've never been able to pick one or the other, especially where high-profile exclusives are concerned. That's why I'm still holding on to my gamecube, PS2, PS3, X360, Xbox (which is more a media center than a gaming machine now) and the PS4. And the PC of course.I have too much interest in stuff like Halo, Uncharted, God of War, Gears of War and many others to only have one or two systems.I don't care one bit that Xbox One is inferior. It's the only console that allows me to play Halo in all its glory, so there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few games that I would really like to play, but my internal dilemma is whether the cost investment of a new console is worth those handful of experiences. In other words, if I bought a Nintendo or Xbox console, I would only be getting them for the exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 So do what I do and wait for those systems (and games) to be HEAVILY discounted Simple consumer smarts. Your dilemma is invented by your lack of self control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 My self control when it comes to gaming usually lasts about a week.I was playing Driveclub earlier and it still amazes me what an accomplished racer this is (has become). The sensation of speed is superb and taking a corner perfectly has rarely felt so satisfying.The one thing that I have to improve upon is trying to hit other cars. I have yet to end a race with no damage.I want to try driving in the pouring rain. Until now it's been sun, cloudy, distant thunderstorms, so I'm craving slippery streets and near zero visibility.

DreamTheater 131 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I tried the Xbox One. More bulky than the 360, but luckily a lot quieter. Tried some Halo 3 in 60 fps. Feels weird, controls are more loose, doesn't feel as responsive or tight on the new system. Not talking about lag, just more loose... I don't know. Maybe it's the smoother framerate or the controller. Takes some getting used to, the shoulder buttons on the Xbox 360 controller were better placed. The dashboard is a bit more streamlined, but generally the same design as before.Just my first impressions. Edit: Played some more earlier. Starting to get a feel for the new controller and increased framerate. Still, I feel like something's off, it just so buttery smooth that it's like something fundamentally changed with the design of the combat. I know this isn't true... these games are just better looking ports, with all the gun combat mechanics intact. But I didn't have an issue when I played The Last of Us remastered. That game really benefited by going from 30 to 60.And this isn't Xbox related but darn it : Uncharted 4 has been delayed until early 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think I'm nearing the end of Last of UsIt's an Ok game and keeps me involved, but I don't get it's masterpiece status. Seems I've played games with similar gameplay that were better. I'll probably have forgotten it in a weekThe explorable areas are small yet I managed to miss some of the training manuals, which is hindering the gameplay later on. I dislike games that give you a sense of urgency to move on but requires you to explore the areas at the same time, then lock you out of an area and autosave if you jump off a ledge. I also can't find ammo for the guns I spent my parts upgrading, making the upgrade system uselessok finished it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
