The Killer instinct season thing is pretty good, only disliking the updates. Want to start it up and have to download an 11GB patch

H5 matchmaking and ranking will be great. The system and tools are in place. Don't worry! 343 is also amazing. Don't read into it.

Crap! Josh Menke has left 343 =(

 

Hopefully 343 doesn't replace him and just leaves his stuff as it was xD H5 ranking was sounding so good


I think it'll be fine. It sounds like he finished all of the work he needed to do designing the ranking system and they just didn't need him anymore. 

Seems a bit early...still a year from release and we have a beta to play..what about any changes to the ranking system from beta feedback...looks like he just got offered a better job and took it..

 

Menke has moved on to work for as a Senior Systems Designer for Activision Blizzard, where he will work on matchmaking and ranking across all of Activision’s titles.

 

 

Would be a pretty hard offer to turn down..


Sounds like the ranking is in place already. If it needs adjustments(this guy is a wiz don't be surprised if it doesn't need any adjustments) hopefully it's only minor and 343 will have someone capable to do it.

I'm in the vocal minority, but I'll buy FF 13 trilogy day one...

Nothing wrong with that :)

If the Mass Effect Collection is a real thing, I'm like 90% sure I'll be getting it. I may have played the trilogy on PC for 100s of hours, but I'm a sucker for more Mass Effect xD

Mass Effect is actually a good game though, FFXIII triology will drop in price like a rock, so I'd wait on that. 



I like Riptor's theme personally. And awesome Max news xD Maybe a 3D max

Outlast for $8 is somewhat tempting, but still not as good a deal as I'd like to see on it. Zero interest in the 360 deals.


It is certainly worth it.

Xbox One back in the lead again on Amazon, looks like the $400 + 2 free games deal for PS4 wasn't enough to stop Xbox One's reign for long. Get the feeling that PS4 is still selling much better at Target though, $340 for a PS4 + a free game + a $20 gift card is a better deal than the AC Unity bundle for $350.

Is MS still offering a bonus free game for bundle purchases?

Ya me 2. Beat the first 2 4 times each including dlc. Me3 only 2 times. Haven't played any of the dlc for it. 

Leviathan & Citadel DLC for ME3 are excellent, you should give them a try when you have the chance!


I never had space for it. Only had a 15gb hd. I would buy it now but I think they're gunna a collection so I'm waiting.

I haven't really had much space either, had the 20gb hd and most of it was filled up. And the DLC's for ME was huge if I remember correctly.

Ya it was the premium said it was 20 but it would only let me store around 13. The extended cut was like 3 gb. All the dlc omega, the citadel, and leviathan was like 6 or 7 total. I could barely clear enough for me2. Sadly I didn't have enough room. And the dlc didn't come out till after I beat the game, and once u beat it it's over, I'd had have to restart the game.

 

  Anyway the prospect of a collection is very appealing. I haven't played me1 in around 3+ years. And it's one of those games that u want to go back to every couple years, much like kotor. I'd like to try for 3000 gamer score in one playthrough of the series. Want to try the dlc so bad. 

 

 It's such a great series the characters are second to none, and same for the universe. Halo and even Star Wars lore fails in comparison if u ask me, and that's saying a lot since I'm a fanboy of those 2. The story is very good as well especially in 1. Gameplay faulters in the first 2 a bit but I don't care every one of those games are atleast a 9.5.
