I don't even own an XboxOne yet and I already bought dogfood to care for that dog.

Wait... it's a real dog... right?

Pretty well into Bioshock Infinite at this point.

That game is amazing.

I don't buy games very often (I think I have 6 after having a Playstation3 for several years), but I did purchase The Walking Dead game (Comeds commented on it earlier). Man, what a cool game. Very original, very different. Great stylistic graphics.

If you love 1st person shooters and lots of action (which I do as well), you may get bored. But if you're a big fan of The Walking Dead, you have to get this one (especially at only $20). It's like sitting back and watching a season of an alternate Walking Dead story line that you are a part of.

I give it 4 and a half out of 5 locomotives.

you got it for the PS3? did you have any glitches with it? pauses or delays?

Yeah, for PS3. Downloaded. No glitches at all. It has a pause for a few seconds between scenes/chapters, but nothing that seemed out of the ordinary or made me feel like the gameplay was being disrupted. If you haven't played it, Matty, you'll love it.

Comeds - Curious if you played it another time making different choices? Worth it, or is the outcome pretty much the same?

I really liked how they compared your major choices to other gamers at the end of each episode. I noticed two things about myself. (1) I was quick to trust people that were new and give them the benefit of the doubt. (2) I was quick to kill potential enemies and group members if I thought something was going south. No sense leaving around unfinished business.

They should give you a survivor profile when the game is done. It'd be funny/interesting.

That's what I am playing too. I am at Soldier's Field. Very cool so far.

I have not replayed it. There are sites that tell you what happens with other choices. It was similar if I remember correctly. I liked the comparison too.

I'm nearly to the end at this point, probably finish it up tonight.

The whole game is excellent, but it gets REALLY good the further you get into it. Hopefully the ending won't disappoint.

I thought it was fantastic.

Yeah, I never came back after finishing it, but I thought it was great.

they seem to be backtracking on what they originally stated what xbox one was going to be

Your Feedback Matters ? Update on Xbox One

seems like business as usual but now you can download every game instead of buying a disc or just buy the disc.

I actually have an old high school buddy who worked on The Walking Dead video games (the good ones, not the shitty ones). He kept trying to get me to play them, but I'm holding out till I get a computer that can handle them.

Is the Pirate DLC the only DLC you played for Borderlands 2?

The Pirate DLC is the worst of the 3. The only reason to have it is that the raid boss 'Hyperius' (sp) is fun to fight.

The Torgue DLC is the most entertaining and it gives you a machine to buy Orange Weapons assuming that you kill a bunch of 'badasses'

The Hammerlock DLC is a lot like a glorified Borderlands 1. Its very hands off with its plot points and there is a decent amount of exploration. The enemies are also significantly more varied than the other 2 DLCs and generally worth a ton of EXP.

The Hammerlock DLC is the best, imo, because if the story missions in BL2 get too difficult, you can hit the DLC for a couple of hours and come back with lots of EXP and fantastic gear (if you finish the DLC story). The other DLCs are really just there for the raid bosses.

(I have a level 61 Siren, a level 51 Gunzerker and a level 47 Zero, btw. I need a life)

I had no idea there were so many DLC I may have to reaquire this game.

Rogue Legacy comes out tomorrow.

It's a sidescroller where you explore a castle until you die (and you WILL die), then you get to pick your kid from three choices, and you play as the kid until that kid dies, repeat, etc. You earn gold and spend it on equipment upgrades, rune upgrades, stat upgrades, etc. You can AND SHOULD pick up the demo from Rogue Legacy. I've been playing it for the past two days, and it's a blast. Will be available for $15 come tomorrow.

I started The Last Of Us. So far its cool

 

[elocomotive]

I like doing this on Black Ops2 (especially when you get guys like the ones in the video who laugh along with it)...

I bought it but haven't played it yet. Gotta check it out sometime.

Isn't there a new post-apocalyptic type game coming out that is supposed to be stellar?

I'm not sure about another one. I will look around. The Last Of Us is fantastic, fun to play and very well written.

 

[Comeds]

There is a new The Walking Dead chapter out, the good game not the other. Its supposed to be a bridge between the first game and the upcoming 2nd.

 

[elocomotive]

Oop, nice. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the heads up.

I bought Last of Us like a month ago, but I'm worried ill get engrossed and will become a zombie for a week. Is it kind of an open world, or is there a definite storyline/path you follow?

Hey assholes. It's the Steam Sale. Go spend all your money on video games, assholes.
