Oh boy, two games I already own on steam, a dumb trials expansion and a movie game. Why would they bother making a movie tie in BC?

SuperHot is good so the more people that get to play it the better imo.

Super Hot alone makes it worth it. Although the regular version is just really good while the VR version is amazing.

You could just buy yourself Superhot for $20 and save yourself $infinity staying subscribed to Xbox Live.

I guess you can also drop $199 on a PSVR set (which is the price right now) and also get the Superhot+Superhot VR bundle that's on sale on PSN right now, to cover all versions of the game.

I had a PSN sub for a year. On the whole the PSN "free" games were of better quality. But I wasn't going to keep a $50 a year sub to access my FREE games.

On the whole I don't think either one is worth it just for the free games. But for the most part a console that can't play online is worthless to me so I'm getting some extra poo poo for something I'd be begrudgingly paying for anyways. PS+ discounts on paid games are more valuable than the free games imo. I save easily enough a year to cover the whole subscription.

Most of my friends play Xbox so that’s how I choose to play online. The PSN sub was free when I bought the console. The perceived value of their free games was not enough for me to continue paying.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I have tried that game many times and it is so anxiety inducing, and depressing, because I think I have a good strategy and then a shot misses and half my team is loving slaughtered.

I saw that rainbow six siege is getting quite a number of updates and going strong. How is this game to get in to at this point for a total newcomer? Is it easy to play on Xbox with total strangers, and is it easy to actually do well if you don’t have lightning fast CS:GO reflexes?

It's easy to get into because you'll be matched with other low level players, of which there are still tons.

I play solely with strangers and do fine. Only high level ranked players demand voice communication. (I'm gold 2 and no one uses mics still)

Reflexes... that's when the game gets harder for newbies. You have to react quickly, be able to outsmart people on the fly, and you have to be able to hear people coming, or hear them hiding. A good headset is basically mandatory. Not knowing the maps or the quirks of the game will lead to a lot of deaths early on.

It's my fav FPS of all time and it's amazing to see it just keep growing in popularity.

edit: here's what you can expect from high level players:

Agents of Mayhem is $15.50 with the Deals with Gold.

Jesus it would cost about $8 just to Redbox it. I feel like I can get $12.50 out of a superhero sandbox game.

I wasn't totally serious, I'll wait for several patches too. It looks interesting but way too much micro-managing, you have to bathe, eat, etc.

Probably not, it's on Cryengine, but they did list Witcher 3 as an inspiration (shocker).

I just got the game last week and I'm not finding it too bad. The playerbase runs the gamut from mouth-breathing tards to uber-tryhards but it mostly does a good job of matching you with similarly skilled players. Just stick with your team and shoot mans, you'll get the hang of it. A decent headset is definitely a must though.

I was forced to use my old Xbox on a 1080p tv upstairs to play Monster Hunter after a cat chewed through my X's HDMI cord.

Holy poo poo it was bad. Framerate was garbage everything looked fuzzy the load times were unbearable I felt like my dude was covered in molasses or something. I never realized how drat good of an improvement the Xbonx was until last night.
That or the OG bone really is a big ol turd lol.
