I'm getting a PS4 instead.

Sorry guys.

Sellout

[probablyoliver]

Sorry not sorry.

Just played ScreamRide. Good stuff if you like building on RCT.

About to play Sunset Overdrive. Woot.

Holy crap crap crap!

I don't think I have read one bad word concerning Shadow of Mordor aside from its customize-able UI. May have to give this one a look on the PC.

[MyKILLv2.0]

I pre ordered the game this morning, hoping it is half as good as it is presented to be. The nemesis system is really exciting for someone like myself. One of the things I enjoyed so much about the Elder Scrolls/Sport theme games games was that you could play through multiple times and the game was constantly different. I am hoping the nemesis system brings this out.

[apsham]

I think that realistically, it's not a feature that is going to make you WANT to play the game again but when you do decide to, it won't feel as stale and "UGH, this part again?" which is something that games in the style of Assassin's Creed really need.

[Dan]

Sunset Overdrive is great fun, not sure it'll have the long-term value but still great fun. We played 6 player co-op and it was blast.

Alien Isolation is awesome, very tense and pretty scary. Far Cry 4 was decent but I've not played 3 so didn't do too much. Project: Cars is pretty nice, The Crew not so much. I'm going to try and get some more X1 games played tomorrow but it depends on queue's.

[Dan]

Quantum Break is rad.

[TKz]

My concern with Alien: Isolation so far is less that it won't be good and more that it'll be very short. All of the different modes of the same thing kind of lead me to believe the campaign will be like 4 hours long.

[apsham]

I can't see how it can be any serious length of time, yeah. When I first heard about it I assumed it was going to be a download only, partial price affair.

[Summers]

Question time, just hooked it up. Fifa is downloading, but I was checking games with gold and it says I don't have gold.

I totally do. It's on my 360 just fine. What gives?

[Summers]

Not my issue possibly..

Says there's stuff going wrong. My live is good for another, like, 6 months. So it isn't that.

Hopefully they sort this balls soon.

[Summers]

It appears fixed.

More importantly.

The kids are currently watching Sky.

Through my 360.

Through my One.

This is madness.

[apsham]

Yeah I was having issues a while ago myself, glad to see it's all cleared up quickly.

BIH Destiny, sorry Jimmy Larz. Got Horizon 2 as it was cheaper and I figure it will hold its value better than Mordor.

Anyone else in for Sunset Overdrive orher than Daws and Dan? Got some good trade fodder today so might be able to get it a bit cheaper.

[Monkey D. Lars]

No more Destiny Ellis?

Also I might get sunset!

Also that alien game looks fantastic!

I'll be getting it for sure.

Are there any Xbox exclusives on the way at some point that are looking like they'll be a big deal or anything, or at least ones that look to be worth looking at?

I ask as I bought a One like two weeks ago and it's still just sitting in the box, while I've been buying my games on the PS4. Seeming like a fairly silly purchase.
