Re: Xbox One

So X1 buyers, what games are main priorities to buy as you purchase your console?

BF4, WatchDogs, and one of the NBA games. I'll check out Killer Instinct and decide if I want to purchase additional content since it's going the F2P route.

That wouldn't just be caving too?

It would be caving. But I do hope it happens because it's ridiculous to charge people $20+ for an adapter for something that Microsoft should have supported in the first place.

Edit: From the sounds of it, Sony is going to be doing some backtracking of their own tomorrow. It must be Sony's time to shoot itself in the foot.

The "RAM Drama"?

Oh well, we'll see what it's all about. They need 24hrs to get their **** straight it seems, before the public is allowed to know what exactly all this drama is about.

Re: Xbox One

Doesn't it seem odd a rumor like that is only on that one site? Something as big as a potential downgrade of hardware would seemingly be running wild.

Could be wrong just doesn't seem to have much as far as legs unless I'm underestimating gamesthirst (never heard of them before).

I mean sure it has spread to message boards but you'd think others would be picking up that story.

Well it was Eurogamer's Spain Director who busted out the tweet. I find it more interesting that Sony wanted 24hrs and he (Eurogamer) said no problem before putting out any info about this (assuming he/they had any at all).

It doesn't matter either way, we'll find out specifically what's up mañana.

Re: Xbox One

He's tweeting (20 min or so ago) how people are making a mountain out of this and to relax as it's memory related but nothing serious.

Again, we'll see.

Re: Xbox One

are people this gullible? Holy cow there isn't going to be an issue as far as downgrading. Lay off the drugs.

I forgot about BF4.

Re: Xbox One

I can't seem to shake the "want" for Ryse. Anywhere still taking pre-orders for Launch day, that won't "hold" the funds for a few days. I'd go the walmart route, but I've heard that they hold an authorization on the funds for 2-3 days to ensure that the money is there.

Give it a few days before you're back in the PS4 camp.

Re: Xbox One

No, I'm keeping the PS4 too. Ryse is the type of game that interests me though. That "era", hack n slash type. I don't necessarily think it's a $550 game. But if I can snag a preorder, I may do that, run through Ryse and sell it all before Christmas, lol.

I would check out if a local Best Buy has any left, you only have to put $25 down and you can pay the rest off when you pick it up.

Re: Xbox One

With me going all digital next-gen I am going to be very careful about what games I spend $60 on. I was all geeked about purchasing Ryse at launch but that may not be the case now because I don't know how much replay value it's going to have, I am waiting to here more about the online portion.

I like to trade in games after Im finish playing them, I would be salty if im stuck with games I am not going to play anymore after beating them in a short period of time.
So next-gen my strategy is to only buy games with high replay value (BF4, NBA 2K14) or very long single player campaigns (GTA V, MGS V, Witcher 3) and wait for other games to come down in price before I purchase them even if it's a year later.

So right now my new launch game list is...
BF4
NBA 2K14

Re: Xbox One

To me, there's no reason to go digital on sports titles.

Unless they were to change to a model where it was just updated for a minimal fee from year to year but it wouldn't be profitable in the here & now. We know that isn't going to happen so I agree with you as far as sports games.
