Assassin's Creed 4 is my favorite that I've played. I've been short of shying away from BF4 because of how buggy a lot of people have said that it is.

AC4 isn't essentially a next-gen experience, but it's the best title that I've played so far.

I only bought BF4 and Killer Instinct.

BF4 - The single player is pretty cool. It's better than your typical bro shooter like COD. It's manly, but it's not silly. I'm playing on hard and it's not bad. I hear it's short. The MP has been fun. I'm at level 13 I think, the battle log app has me as owning the 360 version and I have no clue how to change it. I don't know how many hours I've put in. I haven't had the issues with it crashing like Sword, but he was at my house last weekend and I saw him crash more than a few times. It's all over the internet about how broken it is, so I am not doubting any of it. I just personally haven't had many issues. There are some things I don't like with the menus and how hard it is to play with friends. But those are things that can be ironed out with updates. It's not a yearly shooter, so this is just the beginning. I'm a little mad I bit into premium so early when I could have picked up Forza or DR3, but I was going to get it anyways. It's sad that the content we were supposed to get two weeks ago just came out last night. I really hope they make it up to us. Some double XP weekends are great, but I'd like to see something of value.

Killer Instinct is great. So smooth and fast, and a button masher like me can actually do things.

Forza and DR3 will be on my shelf at Christmas.

I've been playing BF4 the most surprisingly. I even bought Premium (so I won't be ditching anytime soon Fuzz/sw0rd!) .

AC4 looks absolutely amazing and is the best in the series by far imo.

Forza 5 I love, I've jut not been able to get away from BF4/AC4 to play more of it tbh

DR3 I'm enjoying, but in small chunks, not sure why to be honest.

KI I'd play more of if I had someone to practice with

Peggle 2 is a lot of fun and a great sequel so far (comes out next week)

I got Ryse, just haven't put it in yet, but I will. Supposed to be pretty good and it has a horde-like multiplayer to keep you going with it.

Man, Jeff was SLAMMING Forza on the Bombcast this week.

That amount of micro-transaction in a $60 game needs to die. Especially when it's one of the only ways to get to these milestones.

The microtransactions are just short cuts. You can pay to unlock cars which is guess is a slow grind if you play normal. But your drive atar works for you. So you earn creds and xp while away.

At least that's what I remember reading.

Did anyone get Need for Speed Rivals?

Amazon has it on sale for $47.99 right now (flash sale)... and I am debating getting it for my oldest son and I (from Santa... were having a hard time coming up with gifts for him... and he has enjoyed previous Need for Speed games...)

Just looking for any opinions from people who have played it.

Need for speed is fricken awesome.

That's the quickest I've ever seen NWM make up his mind.

did you get it for pc?

Gotcha! I have it for ps4 so no rubbing bumpers.

I bought DR3 last weekend. I'm having a blast with it. The weapon creations and combinations are crazy. Like the leveling system (leveling is FAST)

Having the game timer is a downer. But supposedly you can go back to an earlier chapter and keeping your stats, so it is kinda like rewinding the game. I think.

That timer is only there in the harder difficulty. Play on the others and there's no timer.

Also, play with someone high level and get them to drop a high powered weapon for you. Once you pick it up you unlock it to spawn in your closet. This is also a VERY fast way to level up real quickly
