Walmart shipped my preorder game that is releasing today this past Saturday via UPS. Cool how they ship games before release date so they arrive at my door step on release day!

Awesome, saves me from dealing with the evening, large and annoying Walmart crowds after work!

Here's another Battlefront Gameplay Trailer:



It looks amazing, but I can't stress this enough ... willynilly *** EA *** willynilly

It's going to be a long time before I ever pre-order anything from them again. I'll let everyone else guinea pig on it a few weeks first and let me know if it's worth the money/hastle.

I hear you about the EA thing, but I'd be running out of games to play if I avoided the studios owned by the major (scummy) corporations. EA is just one of many.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

So after about 4GB worth of data needed for Batman, and another 3GB in DLC, I did get to jam out to some Arkham Knight yday.

I'm not sure how to locate the other firemen lol! So far, so good though and the graphics are top notch

Yep I picked that up, found three more last night. I thinking flying around or driving around trying to listen for opera music to solve the mutilated body murder is going to be extra tricky.

I too dig it so far. Fun!

Hearing the opera music for the mutilated body missions wasn't as bad/hard.

There are so many shortcuts that I need to learn/relearn because I set the difficulty on Hard and combat is tricky. I had to replay one of the firemen rescues five times lol.

I've only gotten to play Batman for about 30 minutes since I got it on Tuesday, but it seems like I'm in for a good time.

Elder Scrolls Online sucks, I'm trading it in today toward a reserve of F1 2015 which comes out on July 21.

Yeah it does ... I got it when it came out, hoping to have something kind of like "Skyrim" but online. It felt more like a washed-down version of WoW, except that as you got higher in level, the new skills you got were worse than the lower level ones.

I'm about 8 hours in and feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of the game. So many side quests/objectives.

Love the game so far. Should hold me off until Fallout 4.

I just started Bat man as well. Man, this game is going to be fun. I also just fly around and listen over the radio for the firemen. Doing that, I also unintentionally stumbled on a mutilated body. I also am having trouble with the controls, but I had that issue on the last batman as well. So many gadgets and stuff.

My fiance is happy I've picked up a new game. She was getting tired of the lack of story in Destiny. I gotta say, I think I'll be very happy to be pulled away from that game. It was really addicting, but the issues I was having staying connected to Bungie's servers, and the pricing ridiculousness with the upcoming DLC is too much for me.

Yeah, nice to see all the Batman folks out there gaming out. Damn shame this will be the last of the Arkham series (and perhaps/more than likely the last the Rocksteady group will develop) and what not.

I'm actually surprised at how well/nice the driving aspect is for the Batmobile. It's not Gran Theft Auto smooth, but darn close to it and beyond expectations.

They nailed the batmobile. You can run through just about anything and it's built like a tank with a jet engine on the back.

Batman people, I got a crapload done yesterday evening!

Two Face, Penguin, Firefly, Pig and the flying Bat Creature are all locked up. I can say that Rocksteady held nothing back and are going out with a bang because this game rocks....

The list continues, just I haven't gotten that far yet.

Scarecrow, Harley Quinn and probably some others. Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Knight wing and Robin are all part of it too.

I'm slowly beginning to assume that Madden is never going to get any better..

I say that knowing the graphics, and physics of it are greatly improving each year..

However.. it appears to me, that the Madden team has lost all interest in Franchise mode, now referred to as Connected Career.

Franchise mode, going back to Madden 2008, had so much replay ability.. but now a days.. theres barely any..

They are way too focused on "Ultimate Team" and now have spent time make a new version of that, while I predict CCM will be the same exact thing its been for the last 3-4 years..

I'm still going to buy Madden, it just seems earlier and earlier that I put it away in favor of NCAA (14), and then eventually completely when NBA2K16 comes out..


Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

IMO Madden hasn't been "good" for a few years now ... between 2003-2010 I loved the game ... now, not so much.


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Beat Batman. Give it a 9/10 score. Finished all missions except the Riddler trophy collecton which I just can't pull myself to complete. I watched the final ending (only revealed after you collect all the riddle trophies) on YouTube.

Amazing, just such an amazing game.

Bought Witcher 3 off Ebay, let it continue.

The last Madden game I was absolutely in love with Madden 2004.

I loved that one.

I loved playing with the Chiefs. All five of their offensive lineman were rated 92 or higher. Trent Green was rated a 90, Priest Holmes was a 95, their FB was a 92 and Tony Gonzalez was a 97 overall.

Holy smokes were they hard to stop on offense. Ran the ball all day on people online. Had a PS2 online record of like 95-15 give or take a few.

I miss the Training Camp feature in Franchise Mode, where you could manually do the drills with a player to boost his overall. I also miss the progression system, and how authentic it used to feel.

I like the new Maddens, but I don't love them. They feel the same.

I also miss the hot route stick, where you could be scrambling with your QB and use the right stick to hot route your nearest WR/TE/RB running a route...

Anyway, I'll still buy the new one when it's out. Cause I'm a tool.

I miss being able to guide blockers while you were running the ball..

Too many times does the FB or Pulling Guard just run by defenders..

Yeah, that was a sweet feature too.

Leader blocker stick is what I think it was.

Why do we need a juke stick when you have the LB/L Trigger RB/R Trigger buttons?

I wish they would bring back the playmaker stick...

I blame the NFL..

The exclusive rights deal killed 2ks interest in football, and any need for Madden to improve..

NBA2K, compared to Madden.. as it relates to running a team.. isnt even comparable..

I couldn't finish the riddler trophies...

Witcher 3 so far with just a couple hours of gameplay is pretty cool. There's alot too it, sort of overwhelming.

Gamers, if any of ya was on the edge about Witcher 3... let me assure this game totally ROCKS.

I got about eight hours and I've went through a lot of different weapons, different enemies and monsters and various quests that aren't even on the map.

There's tons of game play in this game, and fun game play mind you. Not no dumb run around collecting trophies type stuff.

It's terrible. Well not "horrible", but you get bored of it pretty quick. You would think maybe it would be like Skyrim but where you could play with other people online, but it's not. It feels a lot more like a WoW-lite. You are sort of pigeon holed into your usual tank, healer, damage roles and even then the mechanics of each don't really work as well as they should (unless they patched it recently). When I played it, there were certain classes that were really overpowered and others that were difficult to play unless you were in a group.

The "skills" themselves really weren't all that special either. You'd get new abilities as you leveled and they really weren't all that much better than the ones you already had. I remember playing one class where I would just spam the same level one skill that I got over and over. The healer class was tough to use, and the tank class was difficult to hold agro, because it didn't use threat like WoW does.

The game seemed fun at first, because it was "new" and all, but after a month, pretty much everyone online was getting tired of it. (I got it when it first came out) Not to mention within a month, there was already a ton of bots camping out at the "good drop" areas and insta-killing any boss that spawned there. It got really annoying when you needed it for a quest.

Probably more pertinent would be what year the Madden franchise secured it's monopoly on NFL/NFLPA trademarks.

I'm very excited about it, but I have to catch up on my other games first.

I've been stuck on Bloodborne on PS4, and it's been brutal. Easily the hardest game I've played in a long time. I will conquer it, I imagine i'm 75% done, or something like that.

But Jesus it's been a journey.

Witcher 3 is up next, and I know that will take a huge chunk of time out of my life. I liked Witcher 2, and Witcher 3 looks that much better.


I'm just nervous about taking on something like that. I might hold off and borrow my buddy's Batman and play Wolfenstein: New Order like I've been planning on.

I also wanna grab Splatoon and Smash Bros for my WiiU.


Witcher 3 is very high on my list, I'm just nervous about the chunk of time it'll take out of my life. Esp after Dragon Age: Inquisition and Bloodborne already this year. Mix that with Fallout 4 in the Fall, and I've gotta space my gaming wisely

Does it have it's own story or is it tied to Witcher 2 at all?


It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!

I've read you don't need to have played Witcher 1 or 2, but I cannot say for certain as I never played those. There some terminology used in the conversation dialogs that I feel I'd know better having played the previous ones, but it isn't to the degree you can't follow along or patch it together later. Least with how far I am into the game.

I got F1 2015 on Tuesday for the PS4 and love it. It doesn't have a career mode this year, but I never enjoyed career mode anyway. It does have season mode where you can play as an actual F1 driver, and that's the only mode I care about. Graphics, presentation, and handling are all great. I'm very happy with my purchase as an avid F1 fan.
