Can you play Xbox One without having played Xbox 360 first?
Can you play Xbox One without having played Xbox 360 first?
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
No, and you need to play the original XBOX, too.Quoting Milky Joe (view post)
Not just any XBOX, you need one from the first production run.

Without this you'll be hopelessly lost.

Anyone else getting SOMA on Tuesday?
I just hope I don't need to have played the Amnesia games to understand it.

"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Destiny: The Taken King expansion should keep me busy until Fallout 4. Plenty of missions, shit tons of new gear and weapons. Haven't gotten around to the raid yet, maybe when I get back from Illinois.

I went to play some Destiny the other night and found that there is an 18gb update required before I can play again.
Is this The Taken King?
I haven't purchased the expansion but thought maybe it was an auto-download that unlocks when you pay for it.

Has anybody tried giving the Mad Max video game a go?

Sort of. It's the Year 2 update. Retooled leveling system, Year 1 weapons / armor stats are reduced, etc.

I have not. I've got $70 GameStop credit doing its best to burn a hole in my pocket. I'm trying to hold out until Black Friday.

Getting close to Arkham Knight completion, and the story is the best of the series so far. Even as video games in general, it's quite original in its use of storytelling and replay value. The batmobile stuff really isn't too huge, and some of it does get pretty fun, typically in the full speed battles.
The Batman world is huge enough where there's villains that get their due here. Man-Bat is actually pretty terrifying to play at times.

It's the Taken King patch - changes a lot of stuff in base game, but doesn't add any of the TK expansion stuff (at least until you pay for it).
Basically, it makes all games ready for the TK expansion.
Similar to what Blizzard does whenever a new WoW expansion comes out.
I'm actually going to jump into Destiny: Year Two, after I finish Metal Gear. Sounds like the game is finally great.
So, have they added new places to go and new quests to Destiny? My big complaint was how grindy it got once you completed the main quest and maxed your level. Got sick of doing the same two or three missions over and over and over and over...

So seriously, I can't be the only one here dying to check out SOMA, can I?

It's a pretty sizable dlc. Granted , it should be for forty of your American dollars.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I honestly haven't looked into it at all. I'm behind on games, which is fine. I'll get more when they're discounted.

It sounds like one for D, for sure.
Across the board reviews are saying that it has a few gameplay shortcomings (frustrating puzzles that kill the pace and tension), but that as a piece of original science fiction, it's up there with some of the all-time best in film and literature.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"

If this is your first time back since this time last year, then yes. There's two huge expansions and two huge new RAIDs, strikes, weapons and everything. Remember, Bungie has a "10 year plan on this game" basically releasing two expansions a year for the next 9 years. Maybe I'll play again in 2020.
Nope. I can't wait. From the makers of Amnesia!!!
It's still not in the PS store. Weird.
I'm also hoping there isn't a huge price difference in Canada. The website lists it as $29.99USD, so if it's $50 here I'm gonna be pissed.
Don't know if I mentioned before but as of this fall full retail release games are $80 in Canada.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Ouch yeah I'm getting it on Steam for 30 bucks.
Nice, it dropped and is the same price in Canada. Actually got it for $26.99 because I'm a PS+ member!
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"

SOMA seems pretty neat. The introduction provides a great, seamless tutorial for its controls before throwing you into the oppressive and uneasy sci-fi world at the bottom of the ocean.

I want to check it out - looks cool. I hear the sound design is great.
But whenever I read something about a video game having as good a story as a piece of prose fiction, I almost always walk away thinking that the person who said that probably hasn't read too many great books. To this day I still can't recall a game with a narrative story as good as even the most mediocre book I've read. I've encountered games that have given me amazing experiences, and emotional rides as good as any book or movie, but when it comes to the actual writing and narrative, this is never the case. It always has to do with how the gameplay conveys the story for me.
So I'm hoping that the coll SF stuff in SOMA is conveyed through interesting game play.
