What's wrong with it?
PS: Just pre-ordered Halo.
I hope, at the very least, someone will run through co-op with me on Halo 1 and 2.
Not sure I give a #### about 3 and 4 but I'd love to play some Ascension on Halo 2

I've read that it's far worse than the xbox 360 party system. Bad UI and cumbersome to navigate.
You should give a couple ####'s about 3, it's arguably better than 2. Although I prefer 2.
And FYI they are releasing all previous maps and have reimagined 6 maps for Halo 2, Ascension being one of them. Looks amazing. You can still play the original Ascension too.

i saw this deal was through the end of the year...
on one hand, i guess i can stop getting my hopes up for a black friday special
on the other, i don't have to wait until black friday until a deal
Nice. Should try to finish up a few 360 titles before that then. Always best to get in with launch for a big MP game.

It may pay off to wait for a Black Friday deal. The $349 is Microsoft's pricing. So I imagine Target, Best Buy or others may throw in the ol' +$50 gift card with purchase.
Also don't sleep on the Assassins Creed bundle - you get both Assassins Creed Black Flag & Unity for that $349. I hate the ### Creed games but I know others love them.

Ya, basically this is the case, but once I figured out some shortcuts (double-tapping the home button to quick-snap to a party/friends list) it hasn't been as bad.
Plus I'm pretty much used to it by now.

We have had two Xbox One's since March and have had zero issues doing parties with four different houses and internet situations including a moderate NAT.

There's a pretty big graphical leap and there are some nice misc upgrades from the 360 (blu Ray, no more fan noise) but there haven't been any system selling games yet, IMO.

They've made some changes, it has some pluses and minuses against the 360 system.bshell27 said:
Biggest con is probably that you can't quick invite someone with one button press from the friends list. On the 360 you could just press 'X' with a name highlighted to invite them. Now you have to click on their name, wait for the sub-menu to load, and choose "invite to party". Getting connected and being able to hear everyone is also more finnicky than it was on the 360, though I think this has more to do with the XB1's poor NAT handling than the party system itself.
Some advantages are nice though. Chat quality is 1000x better. I played the 360 with some friends for the first time in a while the other night and we wondered how we'd spent the last 5 years talking with that horrible sound quality compared to the XB1. Snapping the party while still being able to see the screen is nice, and the kinectless shortcuts they added to manage snapped apps have really made that a lot better once you get the hang of the button shortcuts. You can also multi-invite people if you're starting a huge party (from within the snap menu, choose "invite to party" and you can then check a bunch of select boxes to invite a bunch of people at once), though it's still less convenient than the 360's quick invite with the X button if your party size is 2-4 people.

Anyone else get into the Evolve Big Alpha? Looking to play with some FBGs if possible.

Evolve is a 4 vs 1 multiplayer game coming out early next year. 4 humans with guns and #### vs. 1 monster with different abilities. Rotate through who is the monster and who are the humans. Check out some gameplay, it looks cool.
They had registration for an "alpha" test this weekend.

Might be a possibility. Also got Sunset Overdrive so will be splitting my time between these two (and keeping my pregnant wife at bay).

Anybody playing lords of the fallen? This is the only next gen game I'm interested in.

Hi Moe, NeoGaf is a decent place to get impressions on games. This is the official thread for SO: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=920245
Not that I don't trust FBG viewpoints

Just started it last night. I am about 1-2 hours in and I enjoy it.Moe. said:
The gameplay takes some getting used to, but I can see what they are going for and I think after a few more hours and a few more power-ups I will be up and running.
I jumped into the multiplayer mode a little early and only have the standard weapons and powers so was low on the leaderboards but it looked fun as well. It seems to be all co-op style so I was just contributing less than most rather than just getting killed left and right.
Will post an update after a few more passes.
If anyone else has it and wants to play please send me an invite - HurricaneDweeze

How does the co-op work? Sounds like it's not drop-in/drop-out into the main campaign. Can you just run around the open world picking up missions or do you have to matchmake for a particular mission?

It's really the controller setup that's my issue. I just can't get used to using the shoulder buttons for attacking and blocking.
ETA For the record I never played Dark Souls.

I wouldn't say "easy". I would say it's not the overt death-fest that is Souls (although granted, like you said, it can be overstated, as once you "get it", any area in souls is easy. But I just got tired of turning a new corner, wait... what... dead.)
Controls are similar to Souls. No bow, though.

A couple questions:
How long is the Best Buy offer for $150 towards a trade-in? (Have a PS3 which is my Blu-Ray player only, great condition etc)
Does the chat headset from the 360, work with X1?
As a guy who "has to have" the better set-up, is a Kinetic version imperative? Just all the bells & whistles, etc? I can see myself enjoying the simple voice commands for cable, navigation alone.
TIA....Santa may be coming early in the Jabroni house.

It's not imperative, but if you like bells and whistles you will get use out of it for sure. And I think as the system matures there will be more uses for it, more commands, etc.A couple questions:

My audio headset from the 360 works for audio but no longer does chat, so I assume the xb1 has a different chat setup.A couple questions:

If you think you'd enjoy the voice commands and the extra $ isnt a big deal, absolutely get the kinect.
