After not turning on my Xbox one for a month...it won't connect to xbl. My membership good till later this year, ive hard reset, ive rebooted router. I've connected to different networks. I see friends online playing shit. All the network tests on the console come back as successful.

Ab to just punt this mane

Hoping Watch Dogs 1 -> 2 is like Assassin's Creed 1 -> 2

assassin's creed 2 birthed the entire formula for ubisoft open world games

fuck that

AC2 was a good game, that Ubisoft decided to reskin AC2 for almost the next decade doesn't change that.

Brotherhood was the peak, it was downhill from there

I think Syndicate's better than Brotherhood

I think Black Flag's better than all of it.

Any game where I can kill slavers is a good game

By Smokey Go To PostPeople need to stop letting Bethesda slide too

New shit does the open world stuff better, looks better, and doesn't hace shitty Bethesda jank.

the squad is on point but they need a new head designer pretty bad

i mean i appreciate todd howard but they need someone to mix things up

Got real deep into MyTeam in 2k16 over the weekend. Game got content for days. Gonna rock 2k17 and Battlefield 1 as my mains in 2016/2017, what a time.

dont even know what i want them to add to 2k17 tbh

only thing I can definitively say for sure is the PNR defense needs to be loosened up a bit--dudes literally be getting over screens before ME, which is ridiculous

i know they want to stop PNR cheese but fuk

MyTeam is waaaaaay too easy. Has to be on amateur or something.

I've only messed with Road to the Playoffs where you playing against other dudes' squads. The difficulty goes up every other round it looks like. The round im in you are limited to 3 gold cards in your lineup I'm rocking:

Kyrie (gold)
J Crawford
Kawaii (gold)
Dirk (#TBT) (gold)
Embiid

Eatin

I would love them to add more personalty traits in franchise mode... make players demand trades or demand other players traded stuff like that

they'll definitely add touches like that rather than huge mechanical changes

as far as FXII I remember enjoying it a lot but ran into a wall when I realized Ineeded my whole party but half of them were like 10-15 levels behind because I could always win battles with my main three guys. I kind of that that...the fact that reserves in your party don't earn XP. So I've got to swap them regularly so everyone gets XP? grindy for no reason

Who still plays franchise mode in sports games

Nothing fun about playing CPU

The recent remasters for PC have included things like max gold, max level, turn off random encounters, do 9999 damage every hit, always max atb, etc. so they will probably have some options like that for if you want to just play through the game to see the story and such.

I guess I do...so at least 1 person does

you mean specifically in franchise mode? cuz it definitely exists in mygm

2k16 was great, get rid of the stupid spike lee story for 2k17 and i'd be happy with a copy/paste

Yeah MYGM

I have seen people complain about PT but never demand that the player in front of them get traded or they don't like em or something..

I stopped playing MyGM because I did one with the Knicks and Melo got injured for the season yet KP still kept complaining he was taking his touches and to either trade him or Melo.

maybe doesn't happen often but it ruined my experience with mygm.

2K17 needs to fix the jumpers, green releases should be automatic.

I stopped playung in like seed 5 because the sliders on three pointers are turned way up. Its like I'm playing 2K14

BloodBourne 19.99 on psn.

Worth it? Never really played souls games, hows the combat?

By YungMagus Go To PostBloodBourne 19.99 on psn.

Different from the usual souls games and far easier to get into.
You might die alot during the first hour, but it's the area that presents a pretty good learning curve.
Definitely worth it.

Meh.
Persona 5 is 2017.
The beginning of 2017 is pretty packed for me. Yakuza 0, Persona 5, Mass Effect, Horizon.

By P-SY Go To Post2K17 needs to fix the jumpers, green releases should be automatic.

yea ive missed like 50% of my green releases ;/

I finally get my God of War fix next week all being well.

Persona 5 delayed to February 2017 in US: http://www.engadget.com/2016/06/07/persona-5-us-release-date-february-2017/

It's not good m8

Bloodbourne is fantastic.

only game i used my ps4 for

WB is the first publisher to abandon PC gaming huh?

Finally Valve made a good contribution to gaming

so watch dogs is mr robot now

Seems like Ubisoft finally learned and stopped showing off games using SLI 2080Ti from the future.

This looks like what Watch Dogs 1 should have been.

By Smokey Go To PostIt's not good m8

Smokey pls

Watch Dogs 2 looks way too much like Watch Dogs 1 to me. Eck.

Got the new Kirby at work, and miiiiight bite on Bloodborne. Had more fun watching the Game Grumps stumble through it, and I don't know if that'd translate to me actually liking the gameplay.

By Kidjr Go To PostSmokey pls

He can't handle games anymore.
After the first wave of enemies, he was like :

they didnt answer the most important question about watchdogs 2:

will it actually run on pc this time

The only interesting thing about WD2 is that it's in San Francisco.

By reilo Go To PostPersona 5 delayed to February 2017 in US: http://www.engadget.com/2016/06/07/persona-5-us-release-date-february-2017/

What a surprise.

By Pennywise Go To PostThe beginning of 2017 is pretty packed for me. Yakuza 0, Persona 5, Mass Effect, Horizon.

Don't worry, most if not all of those will get delayed.

Would be more interesting if it was Windhoek, Namibia

By Woodenpapangus Go To PostDon't worry, most if not all of those will get delayed.

All of them except for Yakuza were already delayed, so it's not gonna happen anymore :P
Yakuza 0 is only the translation anyway.

When that SLAENT Twitch channel launch and I knock tf out of Bloodborne

Respek me

My Steam controller came in today. It certainly is different. Won't be able to spend time with it today, though. Maybe in a week or two I will have enough experience with it to write up a review. The FF XIV patch dropping recently was good timing since that game is awesome on a controller.

I can give first impressions after less than an hour, though!

First off, I cannot recommend this to a casual/plug-and-play user. In order to get things working in certain titles, you will have to config every button to what you want it to emulate. There are templates and such to help with this, but those kinds of users will not want to ever deal with that.

Speaking of buttons, damn this thing has a bunch. You have your standard four face, two shoulder bumpers, start, select, and home/meta buttons. There are also a couple triggers, but they 'click' when you depress them past a certain point (like the Gamecube controller). It also has a pair of 'grip' buttons on the back that you press by squeezing your ring and/or pinky fingers. Only one joystick, but it does have the standard 'click' functionality. Both touchpads can also 'click' when pressed. Also a gyro of some sort.

Configuration is something I only just started looking in and it is a world unto itself and will require more experience before I can say much about it. I hope there is a way to calibrate my 'dpad' by rotating it like 45 degrees to better match my natural thumb motion.

The haptic feedback is taking some getting used to on the touchpads. It's... odd because I'm so unused to it. The controller doesn't feel cheap, but it doesn't feel $50 solid, either. The face buttons are tiny. They and the analog stick are located in such a position that I have an awkward angle to my thumb to reach them; playing FF XIV for an extended time will help me decide whether that proves to be an issue or not.

Undecided on how I feel about it, so far. Could be great, could just have great promise in a future iteration.

thanks, kibner. you da real g

should we do a new thread for e3 or just put it all in here?

Crackdown 3, Zelda Wii U, Halo Wars 2, and Horizon. That's about all I'm looking forward to seeing so far.

By Dipreutschland Go To Postshould we do a new thread for e3 or just put it all in here?

New thread.
