Waiting for X1 version.

Ditto...definitely interested though. I've been watching a lot of Dr. Disrespect's stream and it seems like something I would like, just been burned by early access so many times that I'm not paying until it goes gold.

With the microtransaction crap going on right now the game pays for itself with a couple dozen hours of gameplay, at least until Gamescom next weekend. The game is obviously "bad" but it's still fun at hell. I honestly have a hard time seeing it ever becoming a fully polished game, they have way too far to go.

Are you talking about PUBG or ARMA being too steep...ARMA is ROUGH is you don't put in the time and don't like being killed A LOT. Also, make sure you have a great monitor. You'll basically need to be able to register individual pixels to be anything better than average at that game. I played ARMA 2 for a few years and I wouldn't consider it "fun" in the way that a Battlefield or CoD are. It's a full Sim, so it plays extremely differently than just run and gunners.

I'd prefer a combat sim as opposed to run&gun of BF and CoD. If it's hard and frustrating then it will keep the kids away hopefully. But it sounds like my old CPU won't push it to the level it needs to be so I'll wait on ARMA till I up-gun my rig.

Thanks for the insight!

Neon and the Trilogy remaster were both pretty lackluster IMO.

On another note...Everybody's Golf is the most entertaining game I've played in a long, long time.

Noire and Resident Evil Revelations, as well as the announcements of arcade classics coming to Nintendo Switch and a new Mario Party game for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems featuring 100 of the series’ top mini-games. The jam-packed video presentation also provided additional details for upcoming games like Project Octopath Traveler (working title) from Square Enix, Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
