I like Gears of War's chainsaw stealth.

Sigh, I can see now that you're a lost cause.

Here you go, enjoy your scrapping the bottom of the barrel, no thought required gameplay,

Bulletstorm already did it. =)

With less style, but damn what a great game.

Yep, one of the best FPS released last gen. Just pure fun.

It was fun to mess around with my Gears buddies who got mad when I would get multiple chainsaw kills and call it "stealth." Shotgun stealth is fun too.

Miles pls, nothing about Gears is "scrapping the bottom of the barrel", its the best TPS in the business.

He's probably just bad at it.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Get outta here. I was a damn god in Gears 1 multiplayer. The host advantage was my rod, the shotgun was my staff.

I wrecked fools.

If we ever get the Gears collection, I'll wreck all y'all too. Hard. You'll be left with tears streaming down your cheeks, the sting of my vengeful wrath as it burns forever into your memories.

You won't be able to look your partners in the eye after I'm done. The shame will be too great. You'll forsake your kids so they can find better role models.

Your rod could end up being neutered, though. Will your staff be enough?

Still pales in comparison to a good stealth game. Seriously though, I agree, one of the best TPS I've played to date.

My staff is forever ready, waiting for its next victim. Waiting to wreck fools who dare to question its masters skills.

The rod was merely an added bonus, one that shan't be missed should the collection grace us with its presence.

I suppose your rod could return in private matches if the staff is inadequate.

 

[Mass Effect]

I really miss Gears...

You know what? I'd buy an Xbone for a Gears collection and/or if Gears 4 ends up being really good.

 

[Neuromancer]

All this talk about rods and staffs is getting me excited.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Shangheist

Codename Shangheist according to ntkrnl. BT might have multiple teams, though, so maybe it's being revisited? The game was never officially announced.

The Black Tusk game. We didn't know much about it but the concept sounded good and they were pushing it as the next huge IP (like Halo big) so I was looking forward to it. I like Gears, but it's disappointing

Ah alright. Thanks y'all!

Still hurts.

They cancelled that? FFS, it would've been a system seller.

That's quite an assumption. We literally knew nothing about it other than that 10 second CGI trailer.

 

[thewhitehawk]

It will be interesting to see how much this affects their sales.

 

[Ricky_R]

I highly doubt that anything coming during the first 2-3 months of this year will be as big as the popular third party franchises that released in November. Games like Call of Duty and NBA 2K continue on selling pretty well (NPD) until the summer months.

I just don't see it. Those games might keep selling, but they won't move that many systems, mostly because it's January, and in MS's case, they removed a very aggresive incentive that will add to the already general lack of interest most people show after the holidays.

If you missed such great Xbone deals in the holidays, I don't know why would you be interesed in getting the system at a higher price in January because of already released games, regardless of how big they are. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Again, I never said it's exclusive to the Xbox One. Said many times that both systems will get it. The Xbox One selling more these past two months (that is again, if it beat the PS4 in December) means that there's more people who got it during the Christmas season. The "what console did you get for Christmas?" question will be answered with Xbox One more than PS4 and as I said previously, that will help a few to decide what console to get (people wanting to play with others online) especially since they are both the same price (instead of one only being available for $100 than the competitor like last year).

I'm not convinced the Xbone selling better these holidays is a major reason for it to sell more than usual in January at a $400 price. I don't think word of mouth will work when your competitor still has more units sold and you are coming from offering ridiculous deals just to bring the price back up. I don't see it, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

January has no major games so both consoles this month will be selling alongside what was released in November. I don't feel confident in saying what console will take this month (January 2015 NPD) yet.

Like I said, this doesn't make sense if you missed out on November/December deals. If you're bothering to get a system in January, I don't think already released games will be a major factor. I think upcoming games play a major role than already released ones at this point. Hell, word of mouth is much more believable for me.

 

[EatMyFace]

Dozens of 3rd party vendors are still selling them way below the "official" $399 price tag on Amazon. So if you want an Xbox One for around $350, you could probably still get one, somewhere.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I'll probably end up getting an Xbox when it drops some more. I need a hot Gears bundle to bite the bullet though. It will be my Gears box essentially. Best TPS I've played.

 

[Strike]

It looks like they're banking on that momentum from the initial price drop. It'll be interesting to see where the sales will level off now that the holidays are over.

 

[MonsterHunter]

Ahahaha~

*regurgitates crow into OP's mouth baby bird style*

 

[Floridian]

Crow pie had a expiration date of 2 weeks.

*regurgitates crow into OP's mouth baby bird style*

Perfect.

 

[Omnistalgic]

lol...this is the most changes I've ever seen from a platform holder...

Mostly good stuff for consumer I guess, but man, not interested in anything they've been about since this gen started.

Just wish Nintendo/Sony updated there console OS as quick as MS.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Rofl, rofl, rofl. Just rofl.

 

[ec0ec0]

GAF, you are so cruel haha

 

[Jomjom]

Title of this thread should be changed to "Xbox One is back at $349. Line up for regurgitated crow = thataway."

 

[Goodacre0081]

so are we going to call a spade a spade and acknowledge the "sale" in November was planned all along as a permanent price drop?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Hahahaha!

 

[Mrbob]

This thread just had a Shyamalan twist.

 

[Guevara]

GAF doesn't forgive and GAF doesn't forget

 

[RedAssedApe]

so are we going to call a spade a spade and acknowledge the "sale" in November was planned all along as a permanent price drop?

The Xbox One deals were quite popular and have inspired a new promotion starting January 16 where fans in the U.S. can buy an Xbox One for $349 at their preferred retailer.

Technically not a permanent price drop if MS themselves is still calling it a promo. Can we just all eat crow and be done with trying to one up each other

 

[keit4]

looool

 

[Dyson Industries]

Regurgitated Crow Pie

Bake at 180 degrees for 2 weeks
Serve warm
One plate feeds a shared family of 10

 

[NavyPharaoh]

u can't trust nothing Microsoft says... Or does. But we knew that right?

 

[Summer Haze]

 

[Bgamer90]

 

[Raist]

OP is still correct.

People said the price is not going back to $399. It did. For two weeks.

 

[wildfire]

*regurgitates crow into OP's mouth baby bird style*

You were born for this day.

 

[alr1ght]

I hope they take crow returns if you kept the receipt.

 

[RespectThySole]

So much for crow pie

 

[GnawtyDog]

Let me add some NPD seasoning to that OP. A house special.

 

[Chobel]

*regurgitates crow into OP's mouth baby bird style*

LMAO!

 

[The Faceless Master]

but the price went back up. everyone agreed it would come back down again sooner or later.

 

[statham]

Eh, not going to bite at that price. Was thinking very hard about getting an XBO at $350 after swearing off their products after the DRM fiasco..

Good News!

 

[Neuromancer]

Feels so good to be right. I would post a bunch of links to threads where I argued with complete fools but I'm too lazy to care.

But I was right and you know who you are those who doubted me.

Good job

 

[The Artisan]

OP is still correct.

People said the price is not going back to $399. It did. For two weeks.

price is going back down to $349?

welp, time for sony to do its first official price cut

 

[Anth0ny]
