The Xbox One


Recommended Posts

I got a message from Xbox one time with an invite to the preview program, but I didn't accept immediately and when I went back to accept, I couldn't find the message anymore. Since then I've had three people invite me to the preview program but still haven't seen any messages about it.

Man, what happened to Halo: Master Chief Collection.  I wanted to like it so bad.  Now Halo 5 is set to drop.  Usually I'm psyched for new Halo stuff, but, I mean, aren't they just gonna F up the drop like Master Chief collection?  I'm so bummed.  I should be excited.

 

The huge update is going through certification testing/approval. Bravo from 343i said on Oct 2 that it would be ready in a few days which could mean anything.

If anything, Forge should get you stoked (although not coming out til December). 

 

No more spending hours attempting to make bases symmetrical!

 

I will admit I spent more time than I should have with Forge in Reach. And the additions look amazing for this! But the more I played 4, the less it really stood out. The story was kinda meh. And the multiplayer was too much like COD. Which is why I loved Halo in the first place. It wasn't the generic loadout/customization shooter. It relied on skill. Like the good ol' 3 and Reach days. And the fact I had no friends to play with didn't help over time.

 

 

Battleeeefrrrronnnttt

 

And the beta is freakin' sweeeet! Besides the fact I'm put on teams who don't know how to play objective, I'm lovin' it!!!

I'm bummed Tony Hawk 5 got such bad reviews. I opted not to PO it because the graphics looked really bad, but it sounds like it's a total mess all around.

Overall it's a pretty big mess. Lots of the game don't make sense.

It's kind of fun, but mainly only for pure nostalgia

It be awesome to have an actually really good Tony Hawk game though

Well thats annoying.  I am a swat beast, and I can't tell you how many times I'm in the middle of shooting a few enemies, and some noob steps in front of me and gets shot in the head.  Ugh.

 

I think it's excessive betrayals plus it's up to the "betrayed" person to decide if you stay or not.
