Anyone played Halo 5 yet? I was largely unimpressed with 4 and am not sure if 5 is worth the price. Reviews seem to be positive but some say they're waiting until the online multiplayer works or some shizz.

Man, this is a era we live in where games are not complete upon arrival or ready to go...

Friend of mine absolutely loves Halo 5, and tells me to get it on a daily basis. Eventually I'll cave and get it, but I'm really disappointed that there's no split screen in it. I know 99% of people probably have no issues with this, but for me the best times I have gaming are actually getting together with my friends and one of our places and split screening or LAN partying.

Does anybody with a PS4 want to try the Street Fighter beta that's running this weekend? They gave me extra codes.

I haven't bought NHL after NHL 14. After 12 the skating changed and 13 and 14 were bad. Enough for me to stop buying them period :shakehead

Hahaha i stopped buying them after 2004, it's been the same freaking game since the Super Nintendo. lol. The last one i played a bit was 13, and that's because i have a friend who would give me his old NHL game when he bought the new one. I'm also really good at them, maybe people have caught up now, so it's not like i don't like them because i suck. GM mode was fun, and i used to like that one on one mode with up to 4 players but the innovation is just happening too slowly. In fairness i don't know how much they can change but it's just too redundant to buy it year after year for me. Same with Madden. Fun game to play from time to time, just not worth it to buy it every year. EA can also lick my nuts, that online pass BS is far too bogus to support them. Pissed me off hardcore when i bought UFC only to find out they apparently own the online features of the game if i ever sell it or lend it out, like wtf.

What killed the franchise for me was no more NHL games on PC. Modding and constant roster updates kept the game fresh for years.
Plus the graphical difference between console and PC at that point was night and day.

The FFXV roll out is massive and impressive as well, can't wait for that one. There's a free demo available now, and it is a lot of fun.

Thought the FFXV demo was a strange slice of gameplay to show off when you're fishing for pre-orders. More interested in Nier 2 out of Square at this point, and also would rather be in the middle of Persona 5 when FFXV comes out.

But yea, Dark Souls 3.

Also interested in E3 this year, now that both MS and Sony have been out there hinting at their desire to release updated hardware already. Sony mostly just sounds like they want a new box on the market that can play 4K Blurays. Plus the NX rumored for this year, so we could be hearing about 3 "new" pieces of hardware in June.

Omg lvl 78 in dark souls 3 as a pyro.


Just beat abyss watchers.

Good stuff, I absolutely loved that fight.

If all goes according to plan today I should be wrapping up my new game ++ playthrough, which means after 2 weeks of fully consuming my life, my time with dark souls 3 is complete. Sometimes unemployment has its perks haha. What an amazing game.

For those interested, I don't have the details, but I know it's legit, Dice is going to announce something Battlefield 5 related this month.

E3 is only a month away. Very interested to see what some companies have to offer.

I might jump ship if Zelda is the only game Nintendo is showing... Not a smart tactic.
