Oneguide and smartglass become pretty useless without the kinect since you can't control the cable box.

I'm also a pretty big Tolkien fan so that's probably part of why I like it.
Thanks for the reply.

I'm downloading Shadow of Mordor right now. I got it for $30 at the store in the console. Worth $5 to DL and not leave the house.

I'm debating between Evil within for. $30 and Diablo 3 for $35 or just buying both. I'll def get GTA5 at some point too.. Sunset, I guess I'll wait for.

The game store on the console is offering The Walking Dead season 1 and 2 bundled for $25. This is an absolute steal if any of you haven't played it.

If anyone hasn't played Titanfall you can get it for $10z. Worth every penny at that price too.

OR

XBone new with no Kinect but with 2 Assassins Creed games and 1 free game of my choice.

Leaning towards the new one, but If Kinect is really that good I am open to that option.


Same 329 price point.
Can you share where you found these deals, especially the latter?

I picked up Mordor, Diablo, Evil Within, and took a flyer on NBA live (even though most hate it).

Will resume paying full price for games in December. GTA, Advanced warfare, Sunset overdrive, and master chief collection still on my list of stuff to get to. Ori and the Blind Forrest looks cool too whenever that comes out.

What's the thoughts on UFC? On sale for gold members for $13.20 today. Worth that? Tons of good deals available on games still. Should be a link on Xbox one home screen

People ITT

are you generally happy with your xbone? Are most games gonna be coming out for both the ps4 and xbone? Graphics don't make a difference to me... Meaning the difference between the ps4 and xbone. I like the xbox controller more and I have a year of live left.

Would those two things be enough for you to buy an xbone over the ps4? Target has it for 329 today and I'm such an impulse buyer I'm considering getting one

Eh, I haven't been the most impressed with mine due mainly to server issues, but it is very possible ps4 has had issues such as these too. When it does work its pretty awesome though.

I'm a huge UFC fan and it was my least favorite game of the 25-30 games I played on the console (accept for maybe that horrible Crimson Dragon game)

Also have a full hard drive...sux

Maybe I don't have the experience yet where it shines but I can't see much use for it yet.

Have mentioned it before here, but Kinect integration / voice commands are by far the biggest improvement for me over 360 since I watch TV/apps more often than I game. I use them constantly - turn on and off the cable/TV/sound/XBox with voice command 100% of the time. Change channels regularly with voice command. Mute/unmute all the time with voice command. Toggle between TV / games / apps all the time with voice command. Play / pause / rewind / FF all the time with voice command. Etc.

If you don't have kinect or do and haven't used it to its full extent you wouldn't realize its value, but it's substantial if you do. Then again if you live in a loud household where you'd have a hard time getting commands to be heard then it may not be worth it. A friend of mine with three young kids just got XB1 without kinect and I don't blame him. As noted, you can always pick it up later.

PSA: last week I had a weird issue where cable TV was freezing and had no sound. XB1 games and apps were working fine. Rebooted the cable box, called tech support, etc. Finally had a cable guy come out who spent three hours tinkering with various things, ultimately came to find out that all I needed to do was reboot the XB1. Ugh. Total fail for not thinking of this on my own.

Only downside to mine is I have a TiVo cable box and it doesn't respond to change channel commands.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is an excellent game, I've put 50 hours into it and not close finished. It's refreshing to play a game with a great story and interesting companions.

I want to play Dragon age eventually too.

Thanks to J18 for recommending Shadow of Mordor. It's probably my second favorite game for the console behind Destiny. Wolf Among US would be my bronze medal winner.

Telltale Games, Game of Thrones episode 1, is available in the store. Didn't even know it was coming out this year. About to play it now but TTG and GOT are a combination guaranteed to deliver.

I'm curious about this dragon age game, can any of you give me an idea of what kind of game it is. I know you pick a race and class like WoW, but where does it go from there?

From what I've read and seen it resembles Skyrim in a lot of ways, but with more tactical combat and not completely open world. I took advantage of an Amazon sale and bought it for $45 and if the hype is real it'll be worth every penny and more. Can't wait till it gets here.

In the meantime I've been playing Shadow of Mordor and I agree with the consensus that it's one of the better games currently out for the new consoles. Borrows a little too much from Assassins Creed / Batman, but it works pretty well and the nemesis system makes it uniquely it's own.

Yeah, DA:I is a lot like Mass Effect 3 except fantasy themed. You have your character plus 3 companions which you can control or let the AI control them. Decisions you make in game really affect the story and your relationship with different factions.

Couple tips if you're a completionist like me: Don't try to clear the Hinterlands as soon as you unlock it. It's a huge zone that will take at least 20 hours to clear and leave you over leveled for the story quest. Do some quests and come back later.

Also you will unlock requistion quests at camps where you can trade crafting mats for power. Ignore them, crafted items can be very good and you get enough power from side quests anyways.

I ordered a xb1 during cyber monday w/out kinect. I've got a pretty badass universal remote that w/the touch of one button I can turn on and switch to the right inputs of whatever I want to do as well as turn it all off. Is it worth $100 in my situation?

In case you're wondering this is my remote: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Advan...iversal+remote
