Xbox One Console Reviews

has anyone purchased the ea access fault for $30 for the year?

Yeah, I got it and I think is it money worth the money. They just don't release the free games( The Vault) faster enough. But, if you like EA Titles and don't play on buying them( like Madden every year) this is for you.
 
Rockstar and their shitty servers is making me play other games

I'm logging serious hours into assassins creed black flag... Game is awesome and the ship battles are off the chain ....i never was a big fan of this series but this game has me hooked. Can't wait to get thru this one so I can play unity

i paid $20 for ufc and haven't opened it yet then ran across a link for ea sports access for $30.

for $10 more I can get access to multiple games that i wasn't going to buy, kind of hard to pass that up.
 

There's an image doing the rounds on the internet today that allegedly reveals Bungie's plan for Destiny, its expansions and more during 2015.

The image, below, reportedly was taken during an internal meeting, and first appeared on an Italian Destiny community's Facebook page on 1st October 2014 - at least that's the earliest publication date I can find. It has since been posted to the Bungie.net forum, a Destiny-focused Twitter account and, more recently the Destiny sub-Reddit, which is why it's only now getting attention.

So, it's worth pointing out that the information it contains, such as release dates and windows, may now be out of date.

On to the good stuff: the image shows House of Wolves, the already-announced Destiny expansion two, as due for release on 10th March 2015. That's a Tuesday, which tallies with Destiny release dates for the main game and expansion one, The Dark Below.

According to the image, House of Wolves contains three new story missions, one new strike, one new raid and four new player versus player maps, and is set on locations the Cosmodrome, the Moon, Venus and the Reef.


DESTINY SPOILERS AHEAD.
The mention of the Reef here is interesting. This is an area players visit during Destiny's story - such that it is. But it is currently not a playable area. Videos released by Bungie before Destiny's release showed a Guardian walking around an area set in the Reef, so the community had expected it to show up at some point, perhaps as a second social hub.




Moving on, we have Comet: Plague of Darkness due out September 2015. The mention of Comet rekindles memories of the leaked contract between Bungie and Activision for Destiny, published in 2012. The contract stated Destiny game one would launch autumn 2013, with a Comet release in autumn 2014. We know the initial release plan didn't work out, as Destiny game one ended up launching autumn 2014, pushing back the 10 year content plan by 12 months.

In the contract, Comet releases were described as "major downloadable content expansion pack-type software releases". So the community expected these to be significant in terms of content.

According to the image, the first Comet release is called Plague of Darkness, includes 12 story missions, four strikes, one new raid, six player versus player maps and one new location. Under the list of locations is Moon, Venus, Mars and Hive Ship. Could this Hive Ship be the new location?

Under "Investment" we see three new player builds and two new weapon types. The community has expected the addition of a third subclass for each Guardian type for some time now, given each class (Titan, Hunter and Warlock) has three subclass slots, one of which is currently unused.

Beyond Comet, things get a little fuzzy. There is a mention of Expansion Three, which revolves around the Vex. Locations include Venus and Mars, with three story missions, two strikes, one raid and an unknown number of PVP maps.

Then we have Expansion Four, called Forge of Gods. There's no mention of what this includes.

Current speculation suggests Plague of Darkness will act as a re-release of Destiny of a sort, with existing players able to buy it separately and new players able to buy it bundled with all that's gone before. Given the existing Destiny expansion pass includes just expansion one and expansion two, we expect a new expansion pass will be available for expansions three and four.

While the image is no doubt outdated, and release dates and content plans have no doubt changed, there's reason to believe it is legitimate. Back in October players datamined Bungie.net as they searched for information on The Dark Below. A number of enemy names were discovered. At the time they were thought to be part of expansion one, but they never materialised.

If we go back and look at the tags associated with the enemy names, we see mention of Hive Ship - the new location listed in the image as part of Plague of Darkness.

We've asked Activision for comment and will update if it responds.
 
The major Destiny expansions need to release ASAP. They have already lost the main crowd and it's going to get worse this year.
 
damn I haven't even gotten around to playing this joint yet...might hop on it tonite

I was heavy on Dragon Age Inquisition but the ninja spawning mobs and nerfing of your team A.I. while turbo cyborging the enemy A.I. has taken fun out of it sadly.

I played it on Nightmare for challenge and they basically just allow enemies to do the impossible while your team act like keystone cops.

I timed Ravager Dragon fight and it literally stun shrieks every two minutes in actual time to summon wyrmlings and then auto targets your team with fireball effects and then gains Gaurd mode right after that.... literally every two minutes. Makes the fight so ridiculously NOT fun.

Them Lego games be chock full of stuff, every single one of them, second Batman, Marvel and Lord of Rings, might even get the star wars one.

:yes:

I might need try that shit, too.

The only way I can get on GTAO is if I get on, play another game on my HD like WWE 2K15, play that for a little bit, then try to get on GTAO again.

That shit is ridiculous, tho.

Yeah I tried to get online earlier and they kept putting me in solo sessions. Glad I got on this morning to cause some chaos.

Bungie might also want to look into whomever it is that keeps leaking info :lol:

AC Naval battles were my favorite thing to do in gaming these past couple of years. Hopefully Rogue will make it to current gen as well eventually. It improves on Black Flag and eliminates the things that weren't great in it like the eavesdropping mechanic.

Can't find those kraken headsets.

But I did learn something....

Skullcandy is now in the gaming headset business. They bought out Astro, and if you know anything about astro headsets they're pretty expensive and pretty damn good. Actually they're some of the best out.

I saw these, and even tho I'm not a fan of white accessories, for the price, what they cost, and the reviews (all excellent) these might be some winners:



will likely order this weekend so I'll give my opinions if/when I get them


**edit**

And they're on sale $10 bucks off

Patreon_1500X1000.0.0.jpg


IGN front-man Greg Miller, co-host Colin Moraiarty and two senior video producers have quit the media news network to focus on their own Patreon-funded entertainment venture Kinda Funny.

Miller (pictured in black shirt), along with regular co-host Colin Moriarty and video producers Nick Scarpino and Tim Gettys announced their departure today, via Patreon. The team has been working together on YouTube side-projects for some years creating friendly chat-show style vignettes about everything from politics to the best Oreo cookies.

But the new Kinda Funny will focus more on the team's core interest of games, comics, movies and TV; areas which they were previously discouraged to cover outside work by former employer IGN.

"We've had a lot of support from fans just talking about things no-one really cares about, like hotdogs," Miller told Polygon. "Now we can talk about the things that we are really known for, like games, comics, Superman and Mega Man."

Kinda Funny's Patreon campaign has brought in over $30,000 in the last few months, allowing the team to move on from IGN. Both Miller and Moriarty had been with IGN for over eight years, with Miller fronting many of the network's video presentations and promotions.

The Kinda Funny team will produce a series of daily podcasts, Twitch streams, Let's Plays and YouTube shows. Patreon subscribers gain early access to content.
Disclosure: The author of this article worked with Miller and Moriarty at IGN some years ago.
