Will accept caffeine.
Happy to help.
One of my friends actually bought it for me as a gift. Downloaded it, haven't tried yet but it sure looks interesting.

It's the most pure fun I've had with a video game in a long while. Free on PS+ this month for those with PS4, alternatively can buy it on steam on PC.

Wish I knew. Haven't heard anything about Rocket League coming to XB1, but you never know.
I'm virtually certain that if it's an XB1 version, you will be playing with other XB1 owners only. Microsoft does not like cross-platform play. I can't really think of any games that broke that rule.
PS games occasionally have cross platform play with PC. I think Portal 2 was an example.

A Digital Frontier.
I think the release of Windows 10 will change that. Microsoft's unity with XB1 and Windows 10 will allow for cross-platform play (I believe).
Hm. I could see that happening, potentially. But the thing is, the XB1 is completely locked down and under MS's control. The average Windows box has the OS, but the rest of it is completely outside MS's control, so they might not like that.
I think they're finally trying to push Windows as a game platform, again.
They realize people are doing it, anyway, why not garner some good will while DX12 is fresh? And maybe it'll turn into some extra sales along the way. If they can really get the Windows store to be a storefront for games, even if it's just casual games? It could mean MASSIVE money.
Where I'm interested is especially if they're serious about cross platform stuff. Though I can't imagine it will happen right away for any flagship titles. They've been so resistant to things like Halo getting to PC, for example. But, if multi-platform (probably third party) games that are already on PC/XBone... And the dev/publisher are both on board... And they can find a way to make the net code and infrastructure work... And they can find a way to get the control schemes equal... And a dozen other stars align... Who knows, anything's possible, I guess? It would be a major reversal of their stance for years and years.
It'll be interesting to watch, in any case. Phil Spencer really seems to be fully done cleaning up Don Mattrick's fallout from the XBone launch. This E3 was really good for them, the push for a reasonably priced OS... They've got some good will built up. It remains to be seen if they can really capitalize on all of it, but they're off to a good start.

That Rocket League game looks awesome.. Disappointing it's only PC and PS4 right now. I imagine it'll crossover at some point.
Being a PS+ member myself I typically download the monthly free games because well... they're free. I had played Rocket League a couple times walking away not thinking much of it.
Funny how much of a following it's starting to develop. I guess I'll have to give it another try

Well, that Rocket League game just made my Steam wishlist. This is the first I'd ever heard of it, but it's pretty cheap and looks fun. Anyone else play the PC version of it? I'm guessing that since it's not on the Xbox it's probably not compatible with the Xbox 360 PC controller?

I'm pretty sure the 360 controller will work. Rocket League is a great idea, just like EASHL only more main stream.

Finally picked up Batman:Arkham Knight. Loving the new wrinkle the game gives with the Batmobile. Even though I still primarily traverse the city via rooftops.
Can't wait for NHL 16. Looks like EA is getting the franchise back on track after last years debacle. I pretty much only play Be a GM mode, so definitely looking forward to dealing with player's morale to bring a new challenge to the mode. I do wish they would implement NTCs and NMCs for another layer of realism. Even though with Backstrom's contract that might just be too frustrating.
Also looking forward to Fallout 4. Loved the last game and definitely excited what Bethesda can bring with the PS4's horsepower. My winter is set.

I downloaded Assassin's Creed Black Flag from the 'Games with Gold' thing for free. Playing it a lot the last week or so and I actually think it's great...sailing around in the pirate ship is pretty cool. Also the game looks really good. Fun game.

I really enjoyed Black Flag. The naval combat is pretty fun. Cool to upgrade your ship, as well.

Thing that kinda sucks is I read reviews on Unity and they made it sound like it wasn't as good...unless they were wrong?

I wasn't big on Unity, either. I mean, it wasn't terrible. It was pretty cool, but I still haven't finished it, so that tells you something.

I loved The Witcher 3 for quite a few hours, but now it has gotten so boring. Skellige is such a big world but with all the water it is so lame. There is nothing for me to do. I guess I have just about beat the game. I was saving the main quest for later, but honestly I have lost interest in going to every question mark on the map. I was hoping for way more things to do. Skyrim was a way better game for me. I like the fighting in the Withcer but everything else is second rate compared to my favorite game of all time. Dissapointed.
