Title: To you console plebs..
Post by: digi on Sun, 08 November 2015, 11:43:56
There are some pretty tempting xbox one & ps4 bundles on Slickdeals right now..

Do I need a console? Madden, Halo, etc..

Either that or I need a new video card for my PC, I can't decide.

There's a new card that change your hand & your deck into legendary cards. It seems like a great expansion. You should try it out.

And you know yourself that alcohol isn't wrong.

Yes "Free" as in you only pay a monthly fee and if I for what ever reason stop the  service you loose all of those "Free" games.

Dragging this back on topic :D

Buy a PS4 or a XBone OR BOTH!

Just make sure that the bundle comes with destiny. 

Bye bye life.

You pay a monthly fee to be able to play multi-player games, not for the monthly games.

Halo 3 is coming to PC..
Source on that?  I know we have Halo Wars 2 for PC coming out but haven't heard anything about Halo 3.

I just bought the Xbone deal that the microsoft store was offering ($349 500GB Xbox One w/ GOW + ACU + 2 Free games of your choice.). Figured it wouldn't get much better than that for Black Friday for a new console with all the games. I also have a PS4 but I've never played the Halo series before, so I figured I might as well take the plunge.

I have been noticing all the great deals as well and it has been tempting...
I went ahead and ordered the steamlink instead so we will see how that works out.

SF5 will have PS4 as tournament format and is guaranteed Tekken 7
Xbone and PC will have Killer Instinct tho, Get a PS4 stick and play on PC is my solution :)

I bought an Xbox One when I saw a deal come up about 6 months ago and I've only gotten around to playing it around 10 times or so. I can never justify buying a game for xbox that is already on PC where I could be playing with much better graphics, fps, etc. I'm a huge Halo fan so that's the main reason why I bought my xbox one, even though I still haven't bought Halo 5 yet. It's not the same without Bungie. :(

If you're down with "controllerz"  Halo 5 is a very good iteration of the series..   They haven't changed the Pace of the game much at all,   so it still feels distinctly HALO.

That's good to know, I'm a little rusty but I don't mind controllers. I grew up playing playing both consoles and PC. I'm disappointed that Halo 5 doesn't have the same ranking system as Halo 3, I remember spending so much time getting as many 50s as a I could and then ended up being General Grade 3 until somebody stole my account :(. I was never really good at sports but when it came to shooters that is where I shined, my lowest K/d ratio in any Call of Duty ever was a 2.29 in World at War. Too bad CoD has gone to **** even more.

I'm not sure TODAY as an adult is the greatest time to be grinding HALO ladders.. but.. yea  it was super-fun back in the day.   (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/hell-yes-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862508)

If I had to choose between the PS4 and Xbone I'd go with the Xbone. Better controllers, better network, I prefer the PS4 exclusives but they are all one or two years out and the One already has a bunch of solid exclusive titles and a lot of good remakes/collections. But what really sells it for me is being able to play my 360 games on it. PS4 can't do that.
Also the Elite Controller is very nice. Would recommend if you have the money. It's very very nice.  :thumb:

But honestly, I play my Genesis and SNES more than I play any of my newer consoles anyway.

Yeah who am I kidding, I rarely have to be playing A video game let alone sitting at the screen for multiple hours a day. My parents thought I had a problem as a kid, I did play a lot of sports though until 9th grade.

You pay a monthly fee to be able to play multi-player games, not for the monthly games.

If you stop paying for PSN+ then you do lose the ability to play those "free" games as well.

From Sony:
Q: What happens to the games and DLC I downloaded from through a PS Plus membership, and I decide to not renew my membership?
A: You will not be able to access free games downloaded with Plus if you choose not to renew your membership. However, if you decide to re-activate your membership, you will once again be able to play all games downloaded from the Instant Game Collection."

Get a console there are tons of great console exclusives and it's very hard to emulate last gen and current gen games on a PC.
