So what games are still coming for 360 and won't be coming to the One? I know I need to keep it handy for Dark Souls 2, but is there anything else?

Wasn't there quite a rumour that Dark Souls 2 would be released on the xbone/ps4 anyway?

I had a look on Shopto.net's upcoming releases, and there's still quite a few really good games coming out for the 360 - http://www.shopto.net/product/search/platform/xbox%20360/menu/coming%20soon

It looks like support for the 360 just drops off in March, unless any new games are announced by then. :pwn:

Saying that, I bought my Xbone, and after completing Dead Rising 3, there's not much else I want to do with it. I got FIFA in the box and a free copy of Killer Instinct, but I've still got a decent backlog of 360 games to complete. :negative:

There is a minigame involving oogling women while they're not looking. The more you stare at their tits and rear end, the higher your score gets. You get special sunglasses that look through their clothing and also makes it easier to raise your score. Do it well enough without getting caught (and while giving them presents) and you sleep with them. Do this well enough and you get a trophy which says "Made (x) your prisoner in body and soul."

Sold.

I sold Sleeping Dogs on eBay for £13 just before Christmas. :getin:

Did arkham origins get pathed to not corrupt saves? I'd be interested in the season pass but I'm still mad at losing about eight hours of progress.

Piss. I was really hoping the Mass Effect 3 DLC was going to go on sale one of the days. Ah well, between my backlog and the stuff I picked up in the countdown I'll have more than enough to keep me busy for a good while.

What did everyone buy in the sales? I got Hitman: Absolution because I heard it was an ok game but a bad Hitman game, which is fine because I don't really have a ton of experience with the series. I also got Brothers, which I just played through last night and it was great. I downloaded the first episode of The Wolf Among Us when it was free and bought the season pass the next day, but I won't play it until all the episodes are out. I did that with The Walking Dead season one and I think that's the best way for me to play those games. It would suck to wait months in between episodes.

I ended up buying spleunky and the metro season pass. Two games I've been debating whether to buy for a while, so I'm glad they came up.

I've been playing Lego Marvel co-op with my girlfriend. All other Lego games have really annoyed us when trying to collect everything and we eventually just gave up around 60% completion. Marvel has us hooked, and we're at the point of fighting between each other any time a new icon shows up on the map.

Plus I play as Howard the Duck or A Bomb on every free play level.

My only (weird) complaint about the game is how convenient it is to play as Iron Man since he can do so much. Game gives you about 90 characters and everything comes down to Iron Man.

Did anyone like Halo 4? It's got confusing levels and bad typography. The story is baffling as well. I've also run into a few sections where levels fail to load and I have to restart the whole level.

I bought it launch but just haven't enjoyed anything about it.

I'm almost certain Mass Effect 2 stole 50 Cent's bullet time as well. It feels like someone at Bioware played it and thought "we need Shepard doing this".

It's about two hours long and has a micro transaction system. Very much a mobile game ported over. It's all right but I've played it and don't own it.

E: I played it on the bone, but I doubt it's any better than the 360 version apart from being able to get 1000 gs from it.

Anyone else still actively messing around with TrueAchievements? I'd love some more people for my friends list on it and I don't really just want to go add random people from the SA leaderboard. Here's my page.

Laughed at Buff Beethbroth and Pissboy Spastic.

If you mean actual friends list, you can add me but I still don't really understand true achievements. My gamer tag is the one about a dog with a picture of a cat (and I'm in 14th place).

There are a lot of people with over 100,000 gs now.

Thanks for joining, DI's a lot more fun than I originally thought it would be.

Apparently the developres for Dead Island are making an announcement tomorrow involving Dying Light, which (from what I've seen) looks to be mixing a bit of Mirror's Edge/Brink with the open-world FPS zombie survival stuff from Dead Island.

Frankly, it looks like it could be rad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoY5X23KF5s

Not sure how combining three bad games makes one good game.

It looks great on the ps4 from what I saw of it though.

I've had Red Faction Armageddon sitting on the shelf for about two years, so decided to play through it.

It's weird because everything is there to make it a really good game, but it just isn't. Presentation and graphics are good, nice weapons, story is standard but followable. The gameplay is good, but there's something missing. Probably just because you can't run around blowing skyscrapers up like in the previous game.

That game engine really needs to hit the Xbone though.

Cleared another game off my backlog. Shadows of the Damned. Leaving nearly three years between chapter 3 and 4 made it quite fun to complete.

Next I'm going for lollipop chainsaw or Xcom.

Loaded Lollipop Chainsaw after about two years of leaving it and from the looks of it, I got as far as getting an achievement for looking up the main character's skirt. :stare:

I remember it having really bad checkpoints that managed to reset the entire level when I last played it, so I hope it's a pretty short game that I can get through by the end of the week.

Man I'm watching the Defiance gameplay trailer on the dashboard and good lord does it look like a copy-paste of Halo. Half of the weapons are nearly identical in appearance to poo poo from Halo - the "Hive Knights" are using covenant carbines, for instance..

I liked the trials dlc as well. It was fun to mess around with the mechanics and actually kill people with all the weapons and gadgets you're given that I didn't use in the main game.

Now I will replay it and just kill everyone I can. I missed out on the no kills achievement on my first play though because I used a dog to cushion my fall. They do count as an enemy kill.

I can't really remember if 3 was any good. I replayed the first two games a lot, and really got stuck in to the multiplayer. But from the third game and Judgement, I played them once and left it at that.

I was thinking of replaying 3, but if I do, I just know it'll be announced as a HD 1080/60fps etc remake for the Xbone.
