Well that sucks. Though they could just be covering so that it'll remain a surprise. 

I'll probably rent it through Gamefly, $60 costs too much for me.

oooh I might have to get a Gamefly subscription for a while to play some of the games I don't feel like spending a large chunk of change again (this was I can play Tomb Raider on X1 for much cheaper!).

Yeah, I've decided to get a subscription as soon as I finish Sleeping Dogs and Fallout New Vegas. I still have a 10+ title long 360 backlog that I want to play, plus there are about 35 currently released or 2014 release Xbox One games that I want to play. My only hope of playing more than a sixth of those on my budget is Gamefly. 

Yeah when there are so many games sometime the only way to experience a majority of them on a limited budget is to rent (unless for some awesome reason, games continue to go towards the Steam model where they are discounted heavily during a bunch of sales each year).

BTW how are you liking Sleeping Dogs? I tried it out since it's free and is on my "to try" list but I'm having some difficulty with it and basically have to restart each mission at least once because I get owned (I almost feel like the counter button doesn't want to work most of the time). It's a really fun game though so far.

This Fable Legends game is turning out really good! Can this be played offline, or is it online only :(

Seriously hyped for Fable Legends.

I'm thinking August, traditional Fable month.

September Halo

October Forza Horizons

November Sunset Overdrive?

April - July needs something as that's a big gap.


Isn't it a bit early for Fable Legends? Correct me if I'm wrong but it was revealed with just a few bull shots for the public and then our first video of it was in the system launch montage? I've just been assuming it was a 2015 title.

If you've never played it before I can safely say that a $60 price tag is totally worth the experience you get. It's one of my favorite games of 2013 and of all time. Although if that is too steep I'm sure about a month or two after it comes out it will be about $40-50 (since that seems to be the trend of games now).

@Seece: If everything releases on schedule, this could be one of the best years for gaming ever. There are so many incredible looking games coming out for the One.

The thing is, I bought it on the 360 for $20, but never got around to playing it. Then it got announced for next gen and I traded it in... for less than $1 because that's all Gamestop, or Amazon was giving back.

I thought so too but it's been confirmed a 2014 title. I wouldn't say it's early, Sunset, Halo and QB have had as much info given as Fable Legends and they're all 2014 too.

I haven't tried it yet, maybe later today, I've got to finish 100% completion on Bully first. Bully is going to drive me insane though, the last requirement for 100% completion is completing 40 errand missions, but I've only completed 24 and I can't find any more of them. 

I haven't played that game in years, but did you check the online walkthroughs? I remember that being the hardest achievement. Drove me nuts too.

If true this will be a great year! When was the last time a Halo game, a Fable game, and a bunch of other exclusives launched around the same time. It's unprecedented for Microsoft.

Sometimes you don't need all 40, I believe I only had 30 when I got 100%. If you re-launch your game and go to a different area it can help.

Yeah, I read that peopel often people have to restart the game in each area where an errand mission is supposed to show up. This is going to be a long day, I really hope that I only need 30 instead of 40, it says I'm at 96% completion right now.

If you're only at 96% you're definitely missing something else, make sure to go through the checklist online and double check things.

I've never played Bully but those type of achievements are the worst one's.

@Slad6alpha: Wow I can't believe Gamestop gave you such a small amount of money for it, when games get that low I don't even bother selling them to places like that since you can usually get close to the normal amount of money by selling it on craigslist or some equivilant site.
