I have EA Access and correct me if I’m wrong but I think I’ll be able to play the demo this weekend. After watching some more videos about it I’m more interested than previously. I’m going to hold judgement until I can try it out.
I did read an article on Gamesrader that Bioware have been trying to make another KOTOR game under EA but haven’t been able to. There is no reason given why but I do agree with the article that it’s most likely due to EA’s focus on online based games.
You’re right, as an EA Access member you are preregistered for the VIP demo. Everyone can download the demo, but only preorders and EA Access peeps can play during the VIP weekend.

Anyone been able to get that Amex/Amazon $30 off $60 deal to work? It looks like everything should be good when I add to the cart, even shows taking a point from Amex rewards...and nothing changes.
I already did it, so I can't confirm, but are you sure Amazon is the seller? Has to be Amazon and not Amazon digital or warehouse.

I played the Closed Alpha and it is interesting. There are a lot of bugs but hopefully they hashed those out during this Beta.

 
eSports = Competitive Pretending

I'm always skeptical when i see videos of tournaments in arenas and it sounds like people are cheering really loud. they're just piping in noise to make it seem more exciting, right? how do people get that excited watching others play games?
You should be skeptical , especially these days. esports is all marketing that doesn't give a fuck about actual competitive play and there are no shortage of shills trying to generate 'hype' (see: the entirety of Street Fighter V).

Still. you really gotta be invested to understand why someone would legitmaely be hyped to to see other people play. Tournament play brings out everyone's A game and the more you understand about a game's inner workings, the more enjoyable it becomes.

Worked on Kingdom Hearts 3 pre-order for me. Just had to add a small filler to get over $60 pre-tax.
 
This is for people that I quoted about ghost recon wildlands or anyone else that may be interested.

I started the second DLC Fallen Ghosts. It's shorter than Narco Road (especially if you like getting all the achievements) and so far I enjoy it more than Narco Road. It's MUCH smaller as well, I think Narco Road was the entire map and this looks like it's maybe 1/3 the map. It adds a new branch to the skill tree (narco road didn't) but half the skills aren't too interesting. It also adds 4 new enemy types. It has you controller AI squad mates if you play solo unlike narco road. The squad mates being back is helpful because this seems harder than narco road, or at least the rebel op side missions that I've done so far are.

I'd say the two add ons are worth the extra $17. It may not be as much content as the base game at $15 but I am enjoying myself.
 
Rumble giveaway has to be canceled, something has come up that has added a large amount of unpredictability to the near future. 

 
COD black ops 4 2xp monster energy codes.

#1 0FQTMX1R411GD

#2 WYE5Y8NCW9KN8
Thanks, I rarely grab any of these but I've been into the game lately. I took the 2nd code, didn't try the 1st. For what's it worth it's 15 minutes of Double XP, guess they really want you to be jacked up on Monster ;)

 
Does anyone know if Bestbuy is still giving away the Ace Combat 6 code with Ace Combat 7 orders? Or is it just Amazon?

Edit
It says you have up til a month to get the launch edition that includes Ace Combat 5/6

PS Store and Xbox still has it on the digital stores.

 
I saw last night that aussies got their hand on RE2make a little early on TA. People are blowing though it, every achievement has been unlocked, but no one has put it together for a full completion yet. Doesn't appear to be a speed run achievement this time around, but there is an odd beat the game in less than 14,000 steps one. 

 
Early KH3 reviews look good. Unsurprising, it Shaq-Fuing better be after being 13 years in development. It also sounds quite long and bloated, so I will probably wait for a price drop and save my money for RE2. Have all but talked myself into ordering it today.

Also, the GF is still sick with pneumonia (it's been a month, ugh) and the 3DS I gave her for Xmas has revived her love of videogames. She's never played Zelda before, but I loaned her my copy of Ocarina and she's starting it today after finishing Pokemon. I will make her into a hardcore gamer yet.

One does not simply *finish* Pokeman games. I think. I don't know, I don't play them. Hope she feels better.

Early KH3 reviews look good. Unsurprising, it Shaq-Fuing better be after being 13 years in development. It also sounds quite long and bloated, so I will probably wait for a price drop and save my money for RE2. Have all but talked myself into ordering it today.

Also, the GF is still sick with pneumonia (it's been a month, ugh) and the 3DS I gave her for Xmas has revived her love of videogames. She's never played Zelda before, but I loaned her my copy of Ocarina and she's starting it today after finishing Pokemon. I will make her into a hardcore gamer yet.
I'm still expecting there to be a Kingdom Hearts 3 Final Mix/International Edition/Royal Edition/Mickey's Fun Fun Sack of Fun Edition since Kingdom Hearts games tend to get those and Square Enix gotta milk the crap outta those and their Final Fantasy games (especially when they gotta recoup that 13 year development cost). With that being said, now that you own a PS4 you can spend that time playing all the older games and realize nothing makes sense!

 
Which of those 4 C&C games are worth picking up? Dune was a great RTS game btw.
I played the Red Alert games back in the day. They’re all pretty poor ports of the PC games. By which I mean the controls were absolutely terrible. After playing Halo Wars and it’s console-specific control scheme, there’s no way I could go back to C&C on a controller.

But did she fill out the Pokedex and play through the end game? That is when you become hardcore, lol.
I think most people stop playing Pokemon games right after the credits roll. I usually spend another 50 hours in the online and various things lislke berry collecting or breeding a competitive meta team that I will never actually use.
Good luck with Zelda

Sorry she’s still not feeling well. On the game side though, is it a New 3DS? If so you should have her try Link to the Past. That was the first Zelda game my fiancé played all the way through (she had tried Wind Walker and - understandably - became frustrated with all the sailing). Ocarina is definitely a great one to start though.

Sorry to hear your GF still isn't feeling well, sending up prayers for a full and speedy recovery.

There's only one Red Alert here - the other is a standalone expansion - and it has almost exactly the same controls as Halo Wars.

Riiiiight, "finishing Pokemon". With shiny hunting and perfect IV training,not to mention "catching em all", the game has no true end in sight.
 
Is C&C3 - Tiberium Wars not available digitally?  I have a message at TA saying a game I own is now BC (Tiberium Wars), but I don't think I own it physically but maybe I do.

EDIT - I think it's just called "Command and Conquer 3" in the store...

Command and Conquer 3 and C&C Red Alert 3 just dropped 50% to $7.49. Both are 360 games, but are rarely on sale. On XB1, Dragonball Fighterz, Forza Horizon 3 Deluxe, and Sea of Thieves are on sale.
In retrospect it was mostly foreshadowing. Forza Horizon 3 is free to play this weekend. Odd choice over FH4, but whatever.

maybe BC tmmrw?
Good call!

I'm kind of surprised they didn't cancel a console release. It's been pretty low on players on PC for a while now, averaging around 2000 players since two months after launch, though there are 4000 in game right now. Maybe Paladins is doing well on console?
I was under the impression that Paladins was doing well on console, no?

Thanks for the well wishes, she's about to qualify for short-term disability. Shit has been totally out of left field.

And yes, she stopped Pokemon after the credits rolled, but she still logged 40+ hours, which for a more casual player, I consider a victory. LttP is a great suggestion, and yes it's an N3DS so we could do that (without modding). I think Ocarina will grab her attention more, though.

Eventually, I'll have her on her own Xbox :D/

After taking a bit of a hiatus, I've picked back up trying to complete the foreign language Dex entries in Alpha Sapphire. If I evolve a few Pokemon already in my PC, I'll have all languages (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish) for 600 of the 721 available in the 6th generation. I've considered moving that project along to just completing the language entries in the Bank, which had Simplified and Traditional Chinese added with the 7th generation. Yeah ... finishing.

 
Ugh... just couldn't resist the hype and how great the demo was and preordered RE2 Deluxe. I really hope it doesn't get a big digital discount anytime soon so I can feel good about this for a while.

$30 digital next week confirmed. Thank you for your sacrifice.

I usually just leave the stream on and go back to it every once in a while to claim but since I started getting the skins for the last couple of weeks I haven't seen more than one poll on most streams. Am I missing something? The contest last night called for answering 2 polls, I thought I started watching shortly after you made the post. Was there a match I missed (the one I saw had a team called Buddy Buddy)? I know the poll is usually just "who are you rooting for?"

There usually aren't any polls during the Dev streams, just the 2 skin claim quests. Unless they do trivia quests.

During eSports streams, each match will have a poll above the chat for the duration of the match, the "rooting for" poll you mentioned. Other polls will pop up over the video at various points and only be available for a short time, maybe a minute. There's usually one at the start of the second and third map. If a match is tied after 10 rounds, there's usually a poll for the result (Team A 7-6, Team A 7-5, Team B 7-6, Team B 7-5). Round 13s will usually have a poll. There are occasional weapon selection polls at the start of a round, though I think those mostly happen during weekend tournaments. Last night there was a poll toward the end to pick the tournament's death pool, which is usual when they do tournament drawings.

There were 3 matches last night, though the one you mentioned was showing off the new Foundation 2v2 map, which didn't take very long.

I saw 6 polls last night, though it wouldn't surprise me if I missed some.

 
I finally watched Train to Busan while killing time until the 9 PM Gamestop RE2 pick up. That movie is a banger, check it out if you're looking for some zombie stuff.

Technically I don't think KH3 has been in development for anywhere near 13 years, it just didn't seem to be a priority for the series. Probably more like 6ish years. It's not like Final Fantasy XV that had development stall and reboot a couple of times, they just announced it pretty soon after development started, based on what Nomura has said.

Thanks! Me walking away and watching only 5 minutes at a time is probably the cause. I do wish they made it auto claim or let you claim it after the fact, tonight I completed the tasks but forgot to come back to claim it so I lost out on it. Oh well, haven't even played gears 4 yet, not missing out. I want to go back and beat the final boss of 3, I remember I got frustrated with it when it came out and never want back to it and just stuck with multiplayer.

Awesome zombie, one of my favorite movies on Netflix right now.

Devil's advocate here - does the game have any MP component? If not, unless you HAVE to play it immediately, you can just wait til the price drops and won't be missing out on anything really.
