Too much PS3 talk. Anyone here a xbox player mainly?

I just bought me one err I mean my kids one for Cmas. Ive been a PS guy all my life but figured id give it a shot. I got the Halo 4 Spec edition one. Ive never even played Halo but heard lots of good things.

IMO Halo 4 is the worst of all the Halos. Too 'incomplete' for my liking. My GT is Mojave Spirit. I warn you, I act like a damn fool sometimes.

Games I've been playing recently.
Forza Horizon, I think this is a great arcade style racer,
FUSE a linear run and gun, should've waited for a price drop,
Remember Me I wish I never purchased this horribly boring game. I traded it in after a week.
The last of us, now this is how a video game should be.
State of Decay, a great open world zombie romp.

yeah picked up the last of us.awesome game i cant seem to put the controoller down once i pick it up.

Right now my wife and I are playing through the campaign on Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Being a fan of the franchise the game is a bit of a let down.

My thoughts on the Xbone..

The console itself (stuff I noticed that doesn't include graphics)-> Many features are an upgrade and convenient. The multiple operating systems makes switching game to tv or something else seamless and fast. Xbox Live Feed is pointless and makes the friends list hard to access. Chat quality is MUCH improved and I had trouble recognizing friends by voice in the beginning. The dash still could use some added updates and tuning. Kinect does make navigation and overall use easier, even if you cover the camera (use voice commands instead).

Games

Battlefield 4 -> Glitchy still and was definitely rushed to the Market by EA. Has Potential
COD Ghosts -> Carbon copy of the last 12, but noticeably more balanced.
Forza 5 ->Beautiful Graphics with gameplay like the others. The little things are finely tuned.
Assassin's Creed IV ->Best nextgen game so far. Graphics are stunning for 720p.

I played the Titanfall Beta and hate it. Not fun at all IMO. I'll just keep playing COD on my Xbox One.

What do you play on black ops 2? zombies? team death match? domination? What's your KDR? IF I have the time I'll add you. I used to play daily until I started studying for the CFA exam

I need to get in on some of this. Been awhile though. I mostly played Dom, kdr last I checked was well above 3.00 until I started letting my son use my account. KingDANIMAL

Just paid off Destiny Ghost Edition for PS4. Can not wait for this to come out!

I need to get Skyrim for the 360. Having withdraws.

thinking about getting a newer console for the upcoming games in the fall. games i am looking forward to are Farcry, Forza horizon 2 and eventually get rainbow six (should be epic).

They cancelled patriots and reworked it. got rid of single player campaign and it will be mostly online multiplayer now like cod and bf. Vegas 1&2 only was fun but I always like rainbow6 for their campaign mode....was excited for patriots, not sure now....

Yeah Vegas was the first game i played when the 360 came out. loved both of them and was looking forward to patriot and when it got canceled i was upset but the new one looks pretty cool

I think they announced Rainbow Six Siege at E3 earlier this year. Looking at the trailer, it looks like something I'd love to play on the Xbox One since it requires a lot of teamwork to coordinate with a team to clear rooms and rescue hostages (or keep SWAT away from the hostage if you're playing as the criminals). Don't know if I'd want to play with a bunch of randoms though.

I agree with you Wayne.
IDK how much I'd like those modes with a bunch of randoms. But if it was a good group to play with I'm sure it would be fun. Kind of like juggernaut game mode on COD. Not something I'd want to leave up to online matchmaking, but good for LAN.


Here's a short article from last month where one of the devs talks about why Patriots got canned and what to expect from Siege.
