So MSG 5 is available on Xbox Gold this month. Worth the download? Keep in mind I don't really play online I prefer to do my own thing.

It's not the full MSG5, which is called The Phantom Pain. Ground Zeroes is more of a prequel. And it's worth playing, even though it's pretty short, but being free, there's no reason to complain about the length. Also, I don't think there was any online play at all in the game, so you're good to go.The Telltale Walking Dead game is free for the 2nd half of the month for anybody who hasn't already played it. It's certainly worth a playthrough.

Thanks for thw MSG info guess I'll check it out.

I got Walking Dead chapter 1 for free and hated it. Not at all interested.

If you enjoy it and decide to get MGSV (not sure why you guys are saying MSG, you salty?) make sure you play through and extract all the POWs and targets... and make sure to upload your game and then DL it on Phantom Pains... you'll recruit some guys that'll make it a bit easier.

RTTS:

Have you ever just been totally shelled for no reason? I'd been pitching great and then gave up like 8 straight hits, struck out the other pitcher, and gave up another six hits. Previously like a 2.10 ERA, sub 1 WHIP.

Wtf?

I think that is a function of the stats/9 that you have a pitcher. IF your K/9, BB/9 Hit/9 and HR/9 aren't great then the system is going to pull you back somewhat. Again, I think. I focused on those stats first before I moved anything else so they are all in the high 70's or low 80's at the moment for my guy and I've never had that bad of a streak if I was going along well in a game. And honestly - even good pitchers have bad days so it shouldn't be seen as a problem I'd think.

Anybody played Divinity in here? It's dropping for consoles (PS4) later this month and is couch co-op. My gf and I enjoyed Diablo together, and I love RPGs generally.

Any feedback? Currently seems like a game to pick up, so just looking for pros and cons, maybe a red flag if any exist.

It's a great game, but nothing like Diablo. It's much slower, with turn-based battles. The battles use the environment, and can be quite tactical. Think X-com style combat, with swords and spells.

Currently playing:

MLB The Show 15 - Going into year 2 of my 1987 Yankees franchise and I will start a current day post season mode with the exact same playoff teams IRL. I will play as the Yankees in the AL and The Pirates in the NL.

Madden 16 - Dolphins CFM both offline and online

NHL 16 - Panther BeAGm 11-6-1 so far this game rocks

NBA 2K16 - about to start a Heat MyLeague once I lock in my sliders for the season. This game is off the hook and the most realistic B-ball game ever. Presentation is even on a new level of WOW.

Deus Ex Human Revolution - I love this game and doing a second play through in anticipation of the new one coming out next year.

And last night I finally decided to pop in Destiny.....oh boy...I am going to like this game. Going to run as a Titan as my first build. teaming up online with my Brother in-law. Superbly cool game.

Only 2 more games I am purchasing this year:

Star Wars Battlefront III

Fallout 4

Yes, definitely. Like others have said, it's sort of like a long demo for MGS5 -- the gameplay is nearly identical.

Shadow of Mordor guys.....

So what's the point here? I just keep taking out captains and new ones keep rising up . The only thing that's keeping me from taking out the bigger or middle tier baddies and/or the insanely large mobs are those annoying bastages with the crossbows.

I assume I have to interrogate a middle level captain to unlock the really big dudes in the back that are all dark to me ? or after I kill enough captains again your tensions of the superduper elite captain ?

Ok so when you look on the ORC map/character board you will see guys connected to the main big baddies. Take all those guys connected to the main warlords then they will be unprotected when you seek them out to kill them. Also you will soon gain a power to turn captains under your command and hire them to carry out hits on warlords.

The game is awesome. Played it to 100% completion.

Enjoy it!

What I did was turn the first lower level guy I came in contact with. Then I helped him advance by killing someone over him. Eventually you can get him in a position to take out the higher level guys for you. It adds an interesting strategy to what could be a straight hack and slash.

It's over a year old. They made a point that they will be constantly working on the game and releasing DLC. After they released the Taken King, which was on the 1yr anniversary, they nerfed a lot of the 1st year stuff in terms of raids and anything outside of the core story elements. Taken King has given the game an entirely new spin and everyone who is a Destiny gamer loves it. Me personally, I beat the story and walked away. I can't grind #### like you need to in this game.

Gave up 3 straight doubles. That's about it. I notice the AI adjusts to your patterns. My 0-2 high and tight 100mph fastball was getting hit.

After watching a Battlefront stream, I'm less excited about it. What I saw looked very generic. But I'll try out the beta for myself tomorrow and see what I think. Either way, I'm definitely waiting until a price drop. I already have Fallout 4 pre-purchased on Steam.

I would be all over this...except its DICE. I love DICE, more like I used to love them. The past few first month's of their games have been terrible to the point of abandoning them. It might be worth paying attention to how the matchmaking rolls out before you jump on that as your sole title.

I was thinking about this but getting Halo 5 and waiting on Fallout but... I don't think I can wait. My brother will pick it up at the same time so part of the fun is talking about where we are in the game. It'd be nice if I had more patience though because I normally overdo it and don't care to play anymore once the DLC is out so I just skip it.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

I have absolutely no problem waiting on Fallout. Don't get me wrong -- I'm definitely playing that. I just don't need it at launch.

That said, I'm still a little ambivalent about Battlefront, but my son clearly wants Battlefront, so Battlefront it is.

Im strongly considering jumping ship to BOPS3..

The years of seeing campers for KDR, not PTO combined with most Servers "balancing" for Wins n Loss's

However, its worth pointing out that ANY Pub is good Pub..

Its possible that Battlefront (BETA pre-loaded) which starts tomorrow!

We will see a continuation of "Official" utilizing matchmaking! and a return of "Ranked" for all the normal BS involving competetive play..

It makes no sense to me.. You rent a Server that you may be overskilled too play on??

It sounds like someone would go bat #### crazy on some poor Server rental providers

Uncharted Collection anyone?

I'm trying to find out how much they changed the games when they brought them over to PS4. If they used the controls for 3 on 1&2 then this could be epic. (No online play if that's your thing but does include beta access to the online for 4 when the 4 beta launches.)
