I didn't play the Path of Exile beta... is it similar to Diablo? How much game is there before it feels like you need to start buying stuff?

Wondering if getting Pillars of Eternity next week is a better play here...
I played it. Not bad but kind of rough around the edges. Definitely not near the quality of Diablo III, but a bit more on the CRPG side of things.

But for CRPG type games, I’m all in on Pillars of Eternity next week. Perfect timing with some Best Buy Rewards. $5 out of pocket for me after $35 in certs and GCU discount.

Sure I will suck at it (I usually do as far as true CRPGs), but looking forward to it.
 
If that image is real, I'm most excited about a Crimson Skies reboot.

I know most people probably never played the original one on Live, but it was a blast!

I agree 100%
That game was a favorite of my brother and I. Reminds me of the days of the Gamespy Tunneler progrem to play online on the xbox. Oh those were the days.
 
Thanks for this. My Xbox stereo headset just got broken tonight ... and magically, no one in my house knows how the plastic snapped in the exact same way it would had someone accidentally sat on them

Just curious but can you post a picture or pm me a picture of how it looks? I went through two of those an they both broke the same spot. I didn't do anything to them except hang em on the back of a desk seat like on top of the back support.
 
I'm happy with these GWG. I prefer Horizon but Motorsport is better for free because I always buy Horizons.

Dang! Just read about Hurricane Harvey. Watch out Texans!

Just because both games can be abbreviated to PoE doesn't mean they are similar!
 
Definitely fake, who would this slide even be for at this point? No more big Xbox presentations for a while, and I'm sure Halo 6 already has it's title at this point, or would be labeled as 6 even though we know it's going subtitle only. The first 5 are easy, Ninja Gaiden is a maybe, but I don't believe Dino Crisis or Dead Rising 5.
Only fools would believe it's real. No game publisher dates games 2+ years in advance like they're a movie studio since development is too fluid to nail anything down that early. Plus, it's really easy to photoshop a fake slide, put it on your TV, turn off the lights, and take a shitty picture of it with your phone these days. There wouldn't be an image like this in 2017 since it's all about job listings, copyright/trademark/patent registrations, and other actual bits of info on official sources these days.

 
Also side note to those concerned with the dlc in Path of Exile, it is all completely cosmetic.
I'm level 12 on the mage class. Pretty fun so far. I appreciate the UI overhaul for the console version. Otherwiseit seems exactly the same as the PC version.
 
If anyone wants to team up for some PoE fun hit me up! I have a level 10 Ranger so far, but am always willing to start a new character! The only question is.... How much money am I going to eventually spend on this game? I hope they have points sales....

That and they put Dino Crisis in there, like that image to me is not even trying to be serious

 
^ Well if you want a premium option (and I'm kinda an audiophile), TB Elite 800X will set you back about $230 but their noise-canceling DTS 7.1 surround sound, 50mm cans and bluetooth wireless features are right on the money. If you want to spend a little extra in the audio department I highly recommend a pair. Don't want a few of the features, they're coming out with the Stealth 600 which looks to be similar but less features.

Not that I have a desire to play all of them but after doing a little accounting of my game library I currently have about 412 unplayed games.  That is across the PS3, PS4, 360 and X1 and games from GwG and PS+.  When I see numbers like this I have no idea why I buy a single game.

Is it me or has the Sony Defense Force stepped up their game tenfold since the X preorders went up? Holy shit, they are next level with the hate and downplaying. There's a gameplay trailer for Super Luckys Tale, and literally every comment is, "so THIS is the power of the new X-Bone?", "no one wants to play this shit", "the X is gonna flop with kiddie trash like this", etc. Its INSANE. I mean, there is a forum I post on about music and sports, and there's a seperate forum for gaming. I said I preordered the console and its a beast, cant wait to play Gears 4 on it....literally the next 5 posts were about how PC shits on it and how Sony will always lead in sales and better exclusives. It was like they immediately went into defense mode. UNPROVOKED. WTF!

You should see digital foundry latest video they posted about the one x at gamescom. So many people hating on the system and saying it's a waste of money and its better to build a pc. People bashing it for having 4k 30fps and checkerboarding 4k for ac origin and Anthem back at e3 when the pro does it to.

Pc gamers want the console industry to fall so all development is for pc and Playstation fans want Microsoft to crash an burn and to them get out of the gaming industry.
 
Yeah the XBox hate is strong online. I understand MS fucked up at the start of this gen with the Kinect and DRM policies before getting reversed... but damn.  Almost at the point I wish PSN would go offline for a few days just for them to shut up.

MS has been literally doing everything in the book outside of big first party exclusive games these last few years, and now they got the most powerful console on the market place again and Scorpio pre-orders are sold out. So what does MS get? More hate from supposed PC master race folks who are most likely young children/Sony Fanboys in disguise who are upset their console isn't the most powerful anymore.

Neither will ever happen, hell, Microsoft could buy Sony three times over tonight if it made business sense and if it were legal. People keep saying, oh don't fight over a piece of plastic, we're all gamers, lets all get along blahblahblah....we're WAY past that point now. These guys are relentless and its not going to stop ever.

 
BTW the Naruto remasters seem pretty legit from my short time with 2 and 3's multiplayer. Good netcode and good button mashing fun. The first one didn't have online so a bit of a bummer. Also the first one has the infamous Namco do 100% of everything in the game to unlock the last achivement.

You can grab the three remasters together for $40 or $20 each. Then theres a bundle that supposedly has all games.

One slight problem.

They are missing the 4th game from the bundle. Someone screwed up lol. Check the reviews.

The $20 DLC *AND* the entire 4th game.

I like this review of the third game.

This Remaster has no equal . . . You want to play Storm online? Buy this game. I swear on my own life, once you log in . . . you won't log out. For 7 GB, this game has never run this fast before on 360. You played Storm 4 and had a bad experience? This game will make you so happy as Storm fan that your going to cry because of the starvation that came with the launch of Storm 4. THE REAL RANKING SYSTEM, BETTER REIGONAL NETCODE, NO FRAME DROPS, NO GAME CRASHING, IT'S LIKE FEMA DELIVERING FOOD TO A STARVING COUNTRY!!! STOP READING, BUY THIS & BE AT PEACE TILL SHINOBI STRIKER . . .
 
I agree 100%
That game was a favorite of my brother and I. Reminds me of the days of the Gamespy Tunneler progrem to play online on the xbox. Oh those were the days.
Now that I think about it, I'd rather have a remaster like Phantom Dust.

If they do a reboot they'll fuck it up somehow.

It became cool to hate on Xbox when they launched the One to watch sports on. It's ironic to me that now most of the time my friends are watching TV or Netflix, and for that matter so am I. The system names have always sucked because Sony was already on to Ps2 at the start, but they aren't making things any easier with the X1S and X1X Scorpio Ed. Play Anywhere and crossplay are great pro-consumer moves, but that also ends up feeding the trolls 50 new words for Exclusive-that-you-can-also-get-on-PC-but-don't-tell-your-friends-mmmkay. It doesn't help that the game industry is eating it's own words about "graphics don't matter" so we get to play 8 bit games all over again, in UHD HDR at 30fps.


I've always liked Xbox. Having an xbox instead of a PS used to just mean you missed out on JRPGs, but Sony really upped the exclusivity war in the last two gens. I still like XBL far more than PSN. The controller is also more comfortable and I'm used to the button swap compared to Nin/Sony.

I used to game on PC, but I haven't been willing to make the investment in time and money to get a decent gaming PC and deal with drivers since the 360. I hated getting games set up and working. I'm fine taking a gfx hit to just plug and play new games on console, but I do wish 60fps would get more attention than pixel counts. I hope X1X can get devs interested in making games for us, but Sony can just shake a lot of money in their face to keep the ball in their court.

Does anyone else think when Sony says they don't want to enable crossplay because of the danger to their customers, that's actually more true for us considering how often PSN gets hacked?

Path of Exile is great so far! There are no pay to win items, just cosmetic effects, pets, and extra stash tabs (currency tab is a must-buy for me). Differences from Diablo include that skills are obtained through gems that are socketed into items (as well as skill buff gems), a massive passive skill tree, and environmental effects that can kill you (saw blades running around floors, spikes that shoot out of the ground).

I bought the $20 starter pack, and I'm afraid that's just scratching the surface of what I'll spend. Highly recommend!
 
Very off topic, but Monster Hunter World is coming out on the Xbox One, does anyone have any experience with the Monster Hunter series? I see that Monster Hunter 3, 4, and Ultimate are on sale on the 3DS and I've always been interested in them since I see some comparisons to Dark Souls boss fights alot. Metacritic gives each game about the same 82-85% score, is there a preferred one for jumping into the series or just get the latest? Difficulty I like every thing in the Dark Souls "world" even Dark Souls 2.

I played them on 3DS, fun but a bit of a learning curve. Once you get it you will be addicted though.

Just curious but can you post a picture or pm me a picture of how it looks? I went through two of those an they both broke the same spot. I didn't do anything to them except hang em on the back of a desk seat like on top of the back support.
Right (wired) side ... I used Gorilla Tape to repair it

Got these in the mail already, great headphones overall. Comfortable and I loved the surround sound as I was finishing up layers of fear.

This got me wondering what more expensive headphones for Xbox One would be like. Anyone have any recommendations?
Mine come tomorrow. Genuinely curious how these will stack up in sound quality and comfort to the Xbox Stereo headset ... which I found to be very comfortable and have reasonably good sound quality for the price.

That and they put Dino Crisis in there, like that image to me is not even trying to be serious
Honestly I don't think a Dino Crisis game is impossible. Resident Evil is doing decent again, dinosaurs are kind of back in again thanks to Jurassic World, and Capcom has followed trends in the past. But I doubt it would be Xbox exclusive unless Dead Rising was done (even though it probably is). It didn't really do Dino Crisis 3 any favors back on the Xbox Prime.

I'm sure it's fake but it's fun to speculate like this.
It's also a weird angle picture, why not take it straight on.

They def could use Ninja Gaiden and Dino Crisis to get some more exclusives, they need some right about now to make the Xbox One X more marketable. A 4K Ninja Gaiden would be amazing!
 
I don't know how many here are interested, but the former lead writer of Half-Life that left Valve a couple years ago posted an outline of Half-Life 3's plot last night, written from Gordon's perspective. It's suspected that an NDA ended as it's just shy of 10 years since Episode 2 released. He originally changed all the names to protect him from legal stuff, but someone fixed it for easier reading. The first and final paragraphs are very likely in reference to Laidlaw himself and the Valve situation.

His site has crashed from all the traffic, here is the fixed version, text in spoiler if you want. This is probably the only resolution we'll ever get at this point, but I guess don't read it if you're holding out hope for the game to actually happen.

https://pastebin.com/q9DMFa7c

I hope this letter finds you well. I can hear your complaint already, “Gordon Freeman, we have not heard from you in ages!” Well, if you care to hear excuses, I have plenty, the greatest of them being I’ve been in other dimensions and whatnot, unable to reach you by the usual means. This was the case until eighteen months ago, when I experienced a critical change in my circumstances, and was redeposited on these shores. In the time since, I have been able to think occasionally about how best to describe the intervening years, my years of silence. I do first apologize for the wait, and that done, hasten to finally explain (albeit briefly, quickly, and in very little detail) events following those described in my previous game (referred to herewith as Episode 2).

To begin with, as you may recall from the closing paragraphs of my previous missive, the death of Eli Vance shook us all. The Resistance team was traumatized, unable to be sure how much of our plan might be compromised, and whether it made any sense to go on at all as we had intended. And yet, once Eli had been buried, we found the strength and courage to regroup. It was the strong belief of his brave daughter, the feisty Alyx Vance, that we should continue on as her father had wished. We had the Antarctic coordinates, transmitted by Eli's long-time assistant, Dr. Judith Mossman, which we believed to mark the location of the lost luxury liner Borealis. Eli had felt strongly that the Borealis should be destroyed rather than allow it to fall into the hands of the Combine. Others on our team disagreed, believing that the Borealis might hold the secret to the revolution’s success. Either way, the arguments were moot until we found the vessel. Therefore, immediately after the service for Dr. Vance, Alyx and I boarded a seaplane and set off for the Antarctic; a much larger support team, mainly militia, was to follow by separate transport.

It is still unclear to me exactly what brought down our little aircraft. The following hours spent traversing the frigid waste in a blizzard are also a jumbled blur, ill-remembered and poorly defined. The next thing I clearly recall is our final approach to the coordinates Dr. Mossman has provided, and where we expected to find the Borealis. What we found instead was a complex fortified installation, showing all the hallmarks of sinister Combine technology. It surrounded a large open field of ice. Of the Borealis itself there was no sign…or not at first. But as we stealthily infiltrated the Combine installation, we noticed a recurent, strangely coherent auroral effect–as of a vast hologram fading in and out of view. This bizarre phenomenon initially seemed an effect caused by an immense Combine lensing system, Alyx and I soon realized that what we were actually seeing was the luxury liner Borealis itself, phasing in and out of existence at the focus of the Combine devices. The aliens had erected their compound to study and seize the ship whenever it materialized. What Dr. Mossman had provided were not coordinates for where the sub was located, but instead for where it was predicted to arrive. The liner was oscillating in and out of our reality, its pulses were gradually steadying, but there was no guarantee it would settle into place for long–or at all. We determined that we must put ourselves into position to board it at the instant it became completely physical.

At this point we were briefly detained–not captured by the Combine, as we feared at first, but by minions of our former nemesis, the conniving and duplicitous Wallace Breen. Dr. Breen was not as we had last seen him–which is to say, he was not dead. At some point, the Combine had saved out an earlier version of his consciousness, and upon his physical demise, they had imprinted the back-up personality into a biological blank resembling an enormous grub. The Breen-grub, despite occupying a position of relative power in the Combine hierarchy, seemed nervous and frightened of me in particular. Wallace did not know how his previous incarnation, the original Dr. Breen, had died. He knew only that I was responsible. Therefore the grub treated us with great caution. Still, he soon confessed (never able to keep quiet for long) that he was herself a prisoner of the Combine. He took no pleasure from her current grotesque existence, and pleaded with us to end his life. Alyx believed that a quick death was more than Wallace Breen deserved, but for my part, I felt a modicum of pity and compassion. Out of Alyx ’s sight, I might have done something to hasten the grub’s demise before we proceeded.

Not far from where we had been detained by Dr. Breen, we found Judith Mossman being held in a Combine interrogation cell. Things were tense between Judith and Alyx, as might be imagined. Alyx blamed Judith for her father’s death…news of which, Judith was devastated to hear for the first time. Judith tried to convince Alyx that she had been a double agent serving the resistance all along, doing only what Eli had asked of her, even though she knew it meant he risked being seen by her peers–by all of us–as a traitor. I was convinced; Alyx less so. But from a pragmatic point of view, we depended on Dr. Mossman; for along with the Borealis coordinates, she possessed resonance keys which would be necessary to bring the liner fully into our plane of existence.

We skirmished with Combine soldiers protecting a Combine research post, then Dr. Mossman attuned the Borealis to precisely the frequencies needed to bring it into (brief) coherence. In the short time available to us, we scrambled aboard the ship, with an unknown number of Combine agents close behind. The ship cohered for only a short time, and then its oscillations resume. It was too late for our own military support, which arrived and joined the Combine forces in battle just as we rebounded between universes, once again unmoored.

What happened next is even harder to explain. Alyx Vance, Dr. Mossman and myself sought control of the ship–its power source, its control room, its navigation center. The liner’s history proved nonlinear. Years before, during the Combine invasion, various members of an earlier science team, working in the hull of a dry-docked liner situated at the Aperture Science Enrichment Center in Lake Huron, had assembled what they called the Bootstrap Device. If it worked as intended, it would emit a field large enough to surround the ship. This field would then itself travel instantaneously to any chosen destination without having to cover the intervening space. There was no need for entry or exit portals, or any other devices; it was entirely self-contained. Unfortunately, the device had never been tested. As the Combine pushed Earth into the Seven Hour War, the aliens seized control of our most important research facilities. The staff of the Borealis , with no other wish than to keep the ship out of Combine hands, acted in desperation. The switched on the field and flung the Borealis toward the most distant destination they could target: Antarctica. What they did not realize was that the Bootstrap Device travelled in time as well as space. Nor was it limited to one time or one location. The Borealis, and the moment of its activation, were stretched across space and time, between the nearly forgotten Lake Michigan of the Seven Hour War and the present day Antarctic; it was pulled taut as an elastic band, vibrating, except where at certain points along its length one could find still points, like the harmonic spots along a vibrating guitar string. One of these harmonics was where we boarded, but the string ran forward and back, in both time and space, and we were soon pulled in every direction ourselves.

Time grew confused. Looking from the bridge, we could see the drydocks of Aperture Science at the moment of teleportation, just as the Combine forces closed in from land, sea and air. At the same time, we could see the Antarctic wastelands, where our friends were fighting to make their way to the protean Borealis; and in addition, glimpses of other worlds, somewhere in the future perhaps, or even in the past. Alyx grew convinced we were seeing one of the Combine’s central staging areas for invading other worlds–such as our own. We meanwhile fought a running battle throughout the ship, pursued by Combine forces. We struggled to understand our stiuation, and to agree on our course of action. Could we alter the course of the Borealis? Should we run it aground in the Antarctic, giving our peers the chance to study it? Should we destroy it with all hands aboard, our own included? It was impossible to hold a coherent thought, given the baffling and paradoxical timeloops, which passed through the ship like bubbles. I felt I was going mad, that we all were, confronting myriad versions of ourselves, in that ship that was half ghost-ship, half nightmare funhouse.

What it came down to, at last, was a choice. Judith Mossman argued, reasonably, that we should save the Borealis and deliver it to the Resistance, that our intelligent peers might study and harness its power. But Alyx reminded me she had sworn she would honor her father’s demand that we destroy the ship. She hatched a plan to set the Borealis to self-destruct, while riding it into the heart of the Combine’s invasion nexus. Judith and Alyx argued. Judith overpowered Alyx and brought the Borealis area, preparing to shut off the Bootstrap Device and settle the ship on the ice. Then I heard a shot, and Judith fell. Alyx had decided for all of us, or her weapon had. With Dr. Mossman dead, we were committed to the suicide plunge. Grimly, Alyx and I armed the Borealis, creating a time-travelling missile, and steered it for the heart of the Combine’s command center.

At this point, as you will no doubt be unsurprised to hear, a Certain Sinister Figure appeared, in the form of that sneering trickster, the G-Man. For once he appeared not to me, but to Alyx Vance. Alyx had not seen the cryptical schoolmarm (no male equivalent) since childhood, but she recognized him instantly. “Come along with me now, we’ve places to do and things to be,” said the G-Man, and Alyx acquiesced. She followed the strange grey man out of the Borealis, out of our reality. For me, there was no convenient door held open; only a snicker and a sideways glance. I was left alone, riding the weaponized luxury liner into the heart of a Combine world. An immense light blazed. I caught a cosmic view of a brilliantly glittering Dyson sphere. The vastness of the Combine’s power, the futility of our struggle, blossomed briefly in my awareness. I saw everything. Mainly I saw how the Borealis, our most powerful weapon, would register as less than a fizzling matchhead as it blew itself apart. And what remained of me would be even less than that.

Just then, as you have surely already foreseen, the Vortigaunts parted their own checkered curtains of reality, reached in as they have on prior occasions, plucked me out, and set me aside. I barely got to see the fireworks begin.

And here we are. I spoke of my return to this shore. It has been a circuitous path to lands I once knew, and surprising to see how much the terrain has changed. Enough time has passed that few remember me, or what I was saying when last I spoke, or what precisely we hoped to accomplish. At this point, the resistance will have failed or succeeded, no thanks to me. Old friends have been silenced, or fallen by the wayside. I no longer know or recognize most members of the research team, though I believe the spirit of rebellion still persists. I expect you know better than I the appropriate course of action, and I leave you to it. Except no further correspondence from me regarding these matters; this is my final episode.

Yours in infinite finality,

Gordon Freeman, Ph.D.

 
Quick question for the Naruto nerds (blinknot): the only naruto I've ever played is the demo for the one that came out on X1 a while back ago. I thought it was awesome but I'm waiting for a better digital sale on it.

Of the new ports that were just released, if I only bought one, which one would you recommend? Are there any huge differences between them? Total naruto noob here.

^ Well if you want a premium option (and I'm kinda an audiophile), TB Elite 800X will set you back about $230 but their noise-canceling DTS 7.1 surround sound, 50mm cans and bluetooth wireless features are right on the money. If you want to spend a little extra in the audio department I highly recommend a pair. Don't want a few of the features, they're coming out with the Stealth 600 which looks to be similar but less features.

They get progressively better. UNS4 is the best one I have played.

For the 3 new ports - you can actually get a bundle of all 3 and you are basically getting one of them for free. Buy them individually for $20 - or get the bundle for $40.

Did it start to crack? I've had 2 of mine crack in the same area probably due to stress from bending it to put it on. The area under where you put the tape is where 2 of mine broke. Also both of mine the mic boom completely stopped working before anything else. I personally think the quality of plastic they use is either not good in the long run or it's too thin and starts cracking from constantly being bent when it's put on the head.

But my UNSL physical copy has everything in there, right? It came in the mail, I just haven't loaded it up yet. I do have copy of Ninja Storm 4 I got a while back so I'm okay there. Just wondering if my unmet expectations will leave my soul crushed this weekend.

I use mine every day, but it is only me that uses them ... so no abuse from the kiddos. With that being said, I didn't notice any stress cracks prior to finding it broken. I can't really complain, I guess. They served me well.

Oh hell yes. I asked my wife to run to gamestop for me real quick to pick something up while I'm at work. While she was there, I had her ask about the X1X preorders and they had one left. She did the unthinkable and actually put money down on that shit. She was texting me asking if she should but I was busy. God bless her she did it anyways.

So I'm getting a new Xbox and I owe my wife a kick ass anniversary present.
you should get her a top of the line 4K TV!
 
On the topic of exclusives, I'm not in the camp that believes being a console exclusive means nothing. A lot of people who play on consoles don't care about playing on PC and to people like that, being on XB1 and PC might as well be the same as XB1 exclusive. I know PS fans make fun of it, but if it's not on PS and it's on XB1, that's exclusive enough to me.

Agree, I do firmly believe exclusives sells consoles period

 
Off topic but headphone related, just saw some Bose SoundLink On Ear Bluetooth headphones at Costco narked down to $79.99. They had been on clearance for $159.97. They had about a dozen pair left.

Model # is 714675-0010. Sorry don't have the Costco sku.

This was at the East Bay (Richmond, CA) Costco.
