Starfox release date is 11/20

 

Back to my hole

The story thing is a big deal to me, it's one of the things that sets Metal Gear games apart. I'm sure I'll have a blast with the game but this is sort of a bummer.

I definitely agree. I've always loved the Metal Gear stories, not matter how ridiculous they could be. However, I really enjoyed the Ground Zeroes gameplay and it seems like the Phantom Pain is going to blow that out of the water. It's definitely going to be a different experience from the previous MGS games, but from a pure gameplay standpoint it should be without question the best.

 

a retailer in australia put this up, lol

I only just played GZ for the first time last weekend, as they smartly made it a free download to build hype for MGSV. It's a great time, it's just small, so if MGSV takes it and multiplies it by 100 or whatever, I'll be perfectly content. Plus the reviews compares the base-building to XCOM, which is a magic word for me.

I think I'm going to replace my yearly FIFA purchase with madden this year. I haven't bought madden in about 5 years. Anyone get it this year?

Yup, pretty good so far. Game looks better, new catch animations and defender actions are interesting, if not a bit over-powered.

 

I'll also be getting FIFA though. I'm gonna give EA a lot of money this year...

Only a few hours into MGSV so I can't pass judgment, but I can already tell that the scope of the game is going to be unbelievable.

 

Playing stealthily seems a lot more difficult than it was in other Metal Gears; I'm finding that guys will notice me where they definitely wouldn't have if it were Ground Zeroes, for example. Maybe you unlock stuff that helps out.

MarioMaker got a 9.0 from IGN. I just dont think I will play it enough to justify buying it, even though seeing some of the levels that gamers are already creating look awesome

Anyone get Mad Max yet? I want to pick it up, but hear it gets a little boring...

I haven't, but I was thinking it could be a wait for it to go on sale game. I assume the repetition comes from some of the optional open world stuff (collectibles, unlocking territories, etc.) so if you just beat the story and finish it bare bones it might not be as tedious. If you get it cheaper, playing only part of the game won't be so bad.

NHL 16 gameplay is much better than 15. For the Hawks specifically, it's now the United Center rather than Chicago Arena or whatever it was. Before opening faceoffs, the organ plays and the fans chant "Let's Go Hawks!". The goal horn is much more accurate. And last, but not least, Chelsea Dagger plays after Hawks goals.

 

The announcing is still dry and annoying.

Destiny: The Taken King is so far a worthwhile investment. It definitely feels like a finished game now.

I didn't get last year's version of NHL because I couldn't stand how sluggish the players were in the demo. Everyone was moving in slow motion and it didn't feel satisfying, Maybe I'll rent this year's version.

I hope it has the Instant Action game mode. That was my favorite. (not online)

Battlefront is 100% online. There are no offline modes, which really blows.

Damn. I don't know if I'll get it then.

So far, I'm not impressed by 2K16.

Damn. I don't know if I'll get it then.

 

Yeah, that news went from midnight pick up, to "We'll see how the reviews go". I'm someone who really doesn't enjoy online play unless it's with friends. I have no interest in playing online with annoying random people who either suck, or try to ruin it for everyone.

In other news, did anyone else get their Rainbox Six Siege beta codes yet? I registered my code, but am waiting to be allowed in to the beta. The Beta is only a week long, so time is ticking...

Anybody got NHL or FIFA 16 on PS4?

Yup, NHL. Why?

I have FIFA.

Tried the Rainbow Six Siege beta. Couldn't even walk around properly without lag jumping my guy around the map. Never saw an enemy before I got disconnected. It's probably just my s*** internet, but either way, I'm not even going to bother trying it again.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 came out and is an abject disaster. I've watched some reviews and glitch videos, and I'm astounded Activision even decided to release this game, let alone charge the full $60 for it. Not that it would be good at any price.

NHL. It just keeps getting better.
