Correct. If you get the new package that says Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition it has everything in one. The original game, both original expansions and the Taken King. It's $50 on Amazon right now.

I got stuck on one of the very last sequences in Uncharted 1 on Crushing and had to call it quits last night (re-entering the church with a bunch of snipers up top and guys rushing you down below). I hate going to sleep with a difficult segment unfinished, but it was for the best. I remember that segment being hard, but not quite that hard.

Just finished that on hard. I'd imagine crushing is...crushing.

Went ahead and put in my digital preorder, prompted by this post. Really looking forward to it despite the fact that I'll have no time to play it.
As part of the marketing, MS has been releasing a Serial-style podcast called "Hunt the Truth" which is about as good as a mostly tongue in cheek podcast about a video game storyline could be. Lots of A list talent and production values (voiced by actors from Parks and Rec, How I Met Your Mother, Silicon Valley). I'm enjoying it even though it's not high art.

I'm not allowing myself to play video games leading up to Fallout 4 (other than some exo zombies with the gf on COD), so that I'm itching to play something and can go on the type of crazy 12 hour gaming binge I haven't indulged in since college, at least five years ago. Just don't have that kind of gaming stamina anymore even with epic RPG's but I want to force it. So I'm trying to create the perfect conditions, we'll see how it goes.

I'm going digital - question is whether I spring for the season pass. Is there any reason to do that up front? It seems like it's the same price as just buying the DLC as it releases, right?Debating digital or hard copy. Probably go digital.Pre ordered digital Fallout 4 today.

Oh I'm sure buying the season pass gives you about a $15 discount over the long-haul.I'm going digital - question is whether I spring for the season pass. Is there any reason to do that up front?

I'm going digital from here on out. I've purchased two physical games for the Xbox one. This fat American is too lazy to get up and switch this anymore.

So we own all of the Seinfeld seasons on dvd but I dl'd them all from a torrent site awhile back because I hated getting up and changing them. Now I just push them to the chromecast. We've also rented movies from iTunes that we own because I'd rather drop the $3 than search through all of the DVDs we own from college trying to find the one I need.

We moved for my wife to go to grad school in the summer... I was really close to just selling the DVDs and getting rid of them completely. They'll be completely out of date like the vhs here soon enough.

Both Playstation and Xbox have this issue imo. You can be friends with who knows how many people but you don't really get information beyond that. Their should be something that tells you(if you allow it to disperse the info) that the person wants to play or plays these 2, 3, 4 games the most and wants to team up. Also make it so you could add a little caption on their friends list area noting how you know them maybe.I think we're friends

Just can't stop playing XCom now. Thanks a lot, guys.
Well for another three weeks. I don't see how I'm going to get my head out of Fallout 4 when its released.

I have been playing Darkest Dungeon a bit and am struggling a ton. This game is brutal with the RNG and I can see why people encourage you not to become attached to any characters early in the game.

Season 2 rocks as well. 400 days is a nice shorter ride in between season 2.
I highly recommend you play 400 days then season 2. Amazing series.
I replayed all of it 3 times now. Seriously great video game story telling.

Why go digital when you can buy the game, the season pass, and get a pair of socks?

The games with gold version came with 400 days so I'll do that...
Question: ((spoilers)). I know that Kenny is in season 2 because I saw a clip - he didn't make it in my game, so how does that work?

Been playing Wasteland 2 Director's Cut since it was released. Improved in many ways like weapon balancing but they didn't touch attributes and the min/maxing that it promotes which is unfortunate. I enjoy the game quite a bit but wish there was more reason to have variety in character development, which really, is the core of a good RPG.
Or you can, you know, like, send them a message?Both Playstation and Xbox have this issue imo. You can be friends with who knows how many people but you don't really get information beyond that.

I thought I asked before but can't find it. Thinking of broadening my horizons but every time I try a new type of game I hate it. Witcher 3. Is it like Skyrim where I have to do every freaking little thing just to upgrade a sword.
More like red dead? In the middle?
Diablo 3 I gave a chance and it was ok but nothing I'd play again

Much more Skyrim than Red Dead. Upgrading weapons is just as complex but like Skyrim, you don't have to do it if you don't want - the weapons/armor you find laying around will be sufficient.

When I bought the XB1 bundle, I got NBA 2k16 thrown in. After playing for a bit, it's just not my game. It's probably because I'm not willing to put in the time, but I have much more fun playing madden online than the NBA game and I just find the controls frustrating. I haven't read anything to confirm this, but I also think the 2k servers are not nearly as fast as the EA servers because I get much more lag in the basketball game.
Anyway, with that said... GameStop trade in value is at like $30 for it so I think I'm going to take it by there (I tried selling it for $45 unopened on eBay and didn't get a bite). Games I'm interested in that I can make a clean swap for are:
Ryse
State of Decay Expanded edition
Far Cry 4 (loved the 3rd game - too similar?)
Shadow of Mordor (is this game like batman, because I got tired of that series)
Maybe something else depending on sales, but any thoughts on these?

I am trying to finish up Witcher. If you like story driven RPGs, its pretty good. If you like pure RPGs, this is not your game.
I would say this is much more like Red Dead than Skyrim.

Similarities:
- you aren't creating a unique character. You are using the main character in the story.
- open world, but not as much random stuff as Skyrim. Lots of markers on the map, but not much to fill in the void between markers.
- pretty basic combat.
- weapons and armor are somewhat of a secondary concern unless you are playing the uber difficulty.
- inventory management isn't all that important. You carry around a lot of stuff but you can play and never use any of it aside from the main alchemy stuff that gives you bonuses v. various types of enemies.
- pretty good main story, and the side quests have some good stories too.
I am sure there are more.

Shadow of Mordor is exactly like batmans engine but with bloody executions but not nearly as tedious with the stealth aspects. Given your batman fatigue I would still very strongly recommend it but maybe wait a little longer and wait for a clearance sale or an inevitable sequel.

If you really like the Lord of the Rings lore and back drop I would go with Shadows of Mordor. The game is falt out addiciting, fun, easy to pick up and as you progress and become a n orc killing machine, it get's better and better.
I basically did 99% of the game. One of the few I have done that with. You will get a great 30-40 hours of fun with it. The nemesis system is awesome.
Far Cry 4 would be my second choice. I have the game and stopped playing after 30% completion. I will go back to it and finish it no doubt, but I played FC3 to death and went straight to FC4 and it was basically the same game, except a different locale, amazing graphics, different animals to hunt, the gyro-copter which is bad ###, riding an Elephant is really cool. It's a great game as well.
Both titles are great games.

I finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on hard. Still fun.
How in the world, though, do people find all the collectibles? I found 34/60 and thought I'd looked everywhere.

I finished my crushing run yesterday and moved on to Among Thieves. That game could just about pass for a current-gen PS4 game. Strangely, it's the cutscenes that I think look a little strange and worse than the game itself.

Footballguy
Thanks. No I am not a RPG guy at all. I used to hate any of them. But mordor I know not exactly the same, gta, red dead, uncharted type games I love.
I know that's a hodge podge there of not the same but anyway thanks

Will get Halo 5 but can't justify $60 when I'll buy Fallout in two weeks. It'll be on the Christmas list for sure though.

Another Madden story, no video this time.
I'm playing against the Vikings and he scores with 45 seconds to go up 32-27 before the extra point. At this poi the goes for two to try and make it a 7 point game. He runs a roll out play to the right, I take William Moore and jump the route to the TE, intercept it, and take it back the entire way. Now it's 32-29 and I'm feeling the momentum! He's running prevent on the next drive and I've only got one timeout but I'm able to get myself in position for a 51 yard FG with 2 seconds to go. I nail that one through and it's on to OT. I win the toss and and go down the field for the win.
Anyway I send the guy an XBL message afterward saying GG and that the end of regulation was intense. I get a two word response back "F*** off."

That's awesome, and the expected response on XBL after beating someone like that. I get hate messages all the time on Halo and COD.
