Merzbow Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 You can probably get a 2nd hand Kinect for cheap, people were dying to get rid of them once the solo consoles came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Looking at around £40-50 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 to be honest, im not too clued up on kinect, i know how the old one works, on xbox 360, but do i need it to be able to "talk" to my xbox? Its a nerd thing to do, but talking to a console sorta appeals to me, well aside from swearing at it, as i do that anyway, gamer rage  Yeah, you need it for the voice commands, outside that it's really only good for the Xbox fitness app (which is moving to pay only in a couple of months anyway), and dance games. It's been pretty much abandoned by games developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 13, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 so is Destiny all it's cracked up to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 so is Destiny all it's cracked up to be? Â I still can't really put a better description on it than 'Borderlands made by Bungie'. It's beautiful, plays great, with good online features. But, it's dry, lacks a bit of character and has silly load times. If you like FPS and the Diablo/Borderlands level and loot progression chase but aren't bothered by an engaging story then it's for you. If you want a strong narrative this isn't going to cut it.

Merzbow Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Microsoft have just bought Mojang the creators of Minecraft for a whopping 2.5 billion dollars, and Notch and the other founders have left. It sounds fucking mental to me but Minecraft is pretty huge right now, they have merch all over the place too. Â Anyone played the XB1 version yet? Is it worth upgrading to?

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 15, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 15, 2014 Surely it has peaked now though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yeah i can't see it getting much bigger, thats why it sounds mental to me. Maybe they have some other plans but apart from MC the devs are totally unknown, the other game they were working on was Scrolls which looked awful and Notch probably took that with him. Â I've just remembered that MS also own Rare and Lionhead, what was the last good game made by Rare? I remember when there were most peoples fav console game developer but they seemed to vanish after that Banjo game with the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 It's at it's peak I'd imagine, but there are always more and more kids getting to the age of Minecraft so there's definite sustainability. Notch has basically admitted he wasn't equipped or prepared to manage a multi-million dollar company, and didn't want to either. He's happy taking his chunk of the 2.5bn and going back to his bedroom to code for the rest of his life. Â As for Microsoft's plans? Minecraft 2.0. I'd bet the farm on it.

Callum1993 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Finally invested in an Xbox One along with FIFA 15 last week. Very impressed thus far. Any game recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2014 Had a ton of fun with Titanfall. Also actually had fun with NFS: Rivals, although I don't usually like racing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bettencourt Posted September 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2014 I can't wait for Forza Horizon 2. The demo has me anticipating that a lot. Trying to get on with Destiny, but now with Fifa 15 out, I'm really struggling, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Don't get too invested in the story, you probably won't be able to reach the end as this 1st season is selling really fucking badly, 10,000 sales worldwide and the devs aren't even working on season 2 now. Â MS gave up on the game a long time ago, did no advertising for it and didn't even give it a release date. They just shoved it online without a mention anywhere.
