Yup, did the SO d'awwwwwwwwwwwwwww 2 days ago. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

I wanted to watch this but fell asleep around 11. Are you going to stream it again sometime? I really want this game but don't know if I want to pay $15 for it. Definitely not before the ultimate sale-o-rama.

Yeah, I actually didnt get home from work till later anyways so i wasnt able to stream at midnight. I plan on doing a stream today from Noon-1 PM of 1001 Spikes and then I am going to do a stream of Dying Light co-op from 8-9 PM est before The Walking Dead. I have not played much Dying Light yet maybe just a hour or so. I just go to my first night last time i played. It was terrifying! I love 1001 spikes but man am I bad at it. lol hopefully i dont embarrass myself to much.

Man that wraith is so over powered and fast. I'm guessing since only people who pre ordered digitally got the wraith in the beta is why it's so over powered. Didn't have even people to properly balance him. I think he will def be slowed down in the future.

And I still got the beta on my system it is 20.7 gigs. The full game was the same size with that 3 gig patch coming to 23.8. It seems like the beta was the full game which is pretty unheard of with betas.

Well the people that pre-ordered digitally anytime before the launch got all the third tier characters unlocked.

I actually find the Wraith not that OP. Most people just don't realize that you have to change your tactics against it and not bum-rush-leeroy-jenkins the Wraith the moment you see it. That is 100% sure death.

I've beaten the Wraith multiple times in different ways. Just need to communicate and form a plan with your team. It has very little health and armor that once you destroy the armor and keep it in the dome, it'll be dead as long as no one tries to go right next to it when it does Supernova.

Like most 'betas' today, I believe it was meant to just be a server stress test and then the launch day 3gb update was the updated changes to balancing like how Markov's lightning gun has a hidden cooldown to make it not do such ridiculous dps.

sorry ment to say they didn't have enough people to balance him not even.

oh the wraith isn't impossible but compared to the other monsters it is way over powered. Once it gets in the third evolve it's in straight beast mode and hes just way too fast in general. Since everyone that has him unlocked is using him I'm sure it'll be toned down to make the other monsters more appealing.

And most beta's only include a few maps and not all the modes. I was just saying that they included the entire game, 12 maps with both hunt and evacuation and all the hunters/monsters (when pre ordered). But I don't think all the maps were included in hunt mode in the beta. Some were only playable in evac but I could be wrong.

So just like L4D.
Click to expand...
Yeah, Kinda. Except L4D is probably a better game to play with no communication. Maybe they are just expecting too much of the console gaming community to make games that require teamwork.

BrolyB593 said:
When you get that teamwork though it is amazing. The synergy between all the hunter varieties is amazing and then simply playing as one of the monsters is by far one of my favorite online gaming experiences.

I imagine that will be the case, but I've played like 10 matches so far and not a single other person had a mic working (they were likely in a party with other people or something, cause who doesnt have a mic????). I have a few friends with the game so hopefully we can link up, and hopefully we can get some CAG game nights going for it

They did nerf the Wraith from the Beta though. TR had a whole post about it after the Beta and using the over 2 million games played during that time to balance it properly.

The Kraken at Stage 3 is still the smarter play IMO because it is more versatile and has a higher chance of surviving/winning when trapped vs. the Wraith with its low health and necessary hit and run/hide play style. Each character has strengths and weaknesses and I just think in the beginning since a lot of people are new and just rushing like a typical COD match, the wraith definitely will win more.

I wish more games like these would be made that require teamwork. I don't like how most games lately have just been silver spoons, catering to the dumbing down of society.

yea over 2 million games were played but like I said earlier the fact that you had to pre order the digital edition to play as the wraith I'm sure they didn't get as much data like they did with the kraken or goliath.

And don't get me wrong I love the game too, I just feel the wraith needs some more tweaking. Overall the balancing is great, love the long progression of unlocks and seems to have a ton of replay value based on who you are playing with (like l4d).

 
The people who have their twitch stream posted to the front page just have to put their twitch username in their profiles, right?

Been seeing a lot pop up lately.

As far as i know, yes. I've heard quite a few people say they have gotten decent traffic from it as well.

 
Can someone please tell me if this is correct? I just preordered Resident Evil Revelations for X11 from the MS store from my rewards page. The rewards page says I get 15,000 credits for preordering. The MS page says I get a $10 Xbox gift card. That's essentially $25 bucks I'm getting back on a $40 game.

I think in the fine print of one of the offers it says it cant be combined with the other. But I could be mistaken

I also just got it for free. (en-us for reference)

Also, DoA5 Last Round demo is giving achievements on XBO.

How did you find it? I searched every term I could think of (demo, last round, doa, dead or alive) and could only find DLC.

Also, if anyone needs a teammate for Evolve, I'll be on for the next 1-2 hours - GT is StrangerStill79

Yeah, I looked for that and didn't see anything about it. The only stipulation I saw was that the game being pre-ordered has to be out by March 25. (I think that was the date, I don't remember now). I think I'm gonna get Dead or Alive as well if that's the case. Never played one of those games but (basically) $15 is too good to pass up.

You'll get the 15,000 credits, not the $10 card. Check out the rewards page and read the fine print.

You have to compare games with someone who's played it at this point.

Link please

I'm just getting $25 version of Revelations 2.

Compare games with me on the console and click on DOA5LR. Go left to "play" and it'll take you to the store and let you install it.

 
About to hop on evolve in a minute. Gonna send you and invite knight, anyone else feel free to join.

Not sure if anyone else has looked at the custom game options but there's a lot of interesting things you can do

DOA5 was fun from the training I played. Thanks again. Nobody was online or the servers weren't working yet. Definitely a lot of borderline porn DLC. I like how you can change the "breast motion".

XBL just broke a few minutes ago ahhhhhh

Anyone here s member of xbox rewards program? I actually plan on buying some game add ons for Sniper Elite V2. On the FAQ it says that getting rewarded for purchasing add-ons is only applicable if you get them within 10 days after the announcement. This game has been announced to be a GWG title since JAnuary, wondering if I can still be eligible.

Oh, and another thing, I would like my gf to get D4, just not sure if that is still free this month for XB1, does anyone know? For XB1 they usually recycle the ither game from the previous month but the way I see it on xbox.com, worms is still the othe XB1 GWG (which makes it it's 3rd month now). Can anyone confirm if this is so or if D4 is still a good GWG?

Guess we should all expect this every holiday now?

doubt it's lizard squad. Kim dot com gave them 3,000 lifetime premium megaupload accounts valued at $100 each ($300,000 total) with the stipulation that if they hack live/psn again he would revoke the accounts. First off that's no chump change and second I'm sure lizard squad has alot of respect for kim dot com

I'm pretty sure you have 10 days from when major announces that the game is now free, which he'll probably do today or tomorrow.

D4 is no longer free. It's one of only two games I think that wasn't recycled. Meanwhile, worms is free for the third or fourth month in a row.

So crime does pay?

One more thing: Tell KimDotcom to take his vouchers and shove them up his fat ass.

Sounds like they sure have a lot of respect for him.

To be fair, Kim wanted to do his weekly Destiny raid. The guy is a freak for games and is always online. His primary gamertag is Megaracer if any of you are interested in following him. He is extremely humble and polite as well. I randomly ran into him and a few YouTube guys a while back.
