With DAI out and still incomplete by me, and the Witcher 3 coming soon... not sure I really have time for another CRPG... but those who have been playing it on XB!... how is it? worth the time? since free.


and while I'm here... anyone else doing the Mortal Kombat thing.... fan of the series because of playing it for hours as a kid... even thou I must be getting old because seems very graphical and brutal now-a-days. wink

Downloaded Neverwinter last night, the streams I watched of it looked like the combat is fun, so might be good fun with friends, I'll be trying it tonight.

I'm not planning to pickup MK, I had the last one on the PC and didn't really get into it.

Project Cars I will be doing on the PC, I bought into the closed beta on PC a couple of years ago but haven't driven it in a good while, hopefully they really improved the handling and FF from a year ago.

speaking of PC version of Pcars K... if I pre-ordered way back in the very beginning when it was a kickstarter... for PC... are we getting all the extras now coming out? I stopped on PC due to issues with my wheel turning off PC, but will re-install when released.

Glad you asked that since it made me go check.

It looks like it depends what level of KS you did on PCars, here is what they posted a couple of months ago:
http://forum.wmdportal.com/showthread.php?21260-Project-CARS-Members-Game-Distribution

Quote:
Member and above will be receiving the Digital Edition of Project CARS via Steam, including both the five Limited Edition cars as well as the Modified Car Pack, so you'll be getting the full load of content available at release.

As announced before, Junior Members & Team Members will be receiving a rebate or discount based on their initial commitment. Due to the way Steam handles rebates/ discounts, we will not be able to offer the fixed rebates (10€ for Junior Members, 25€ for Team Members) we originally planned. Instead, members will be receiving a percentage-based rebate (20% off for Junior Members, 50% off for Team Members) based on the Steam retail price in your region. Since Steam prices differ from country to country, the actual amount of the rebate can vary between members.


Since I am a Team Member, it looks like I will not be getting a free copy of PCars after all frown they will just be giving me a rebate equal to 50% off the retail price, which stinks as far as I'm concerned, I bought into this expecting to get a copy of the final, and after 2+ years of waiting now it doesn't seem to be the case which leaves a bad taste for me, not sure if that was spelled out in the original KS at the 25Euro level, it's been so long that I don't remember, not sure I will even be buying it now, will just wait until the inevitable Steam sale...

Update:
I checked the original PCars info when I bought in and it looks like it was spelled out that Team Member would just get access to the betas and a discount toward the final purchase, I guess I just forgot about that since it's been so long to develop. From reading the forums, they will send people with Team members a Steam coupon for the 50% discount and no rebate needed, I'm not so mad after all.

Im Downloading Neverwinter right now, Along with the 2 free gold games. I want the witcher I think.....I got the previous 2 but never completed them. Withcer 3 is said to have 200 plus hours of game play.


One more thing on the PCars subject, Don't forget you get a % of the profits too. It might be worth making sure the account you used to get Pcars is still good. For example I used paypal but I have since changed my paypal stuff. So I had to update it in the WMD forms under my profile.

Cool thanks for the reminder Weaponz.

Neverwinter might be fun if we can group up, I wasn't too impressed with DragonAge multiplayer, but from what I saw on the streams this has a lot more depth.

I'm definitely interested in Witcher 3.

For PCars, I'll be buying it on PC first (already have it pre-ordered) but I will get it on XBO also, eventually. I've got friends on both platforms so, unfortunately for me, I'll need to buy it twice.

But, it looks like it'll be worth it.

Not sure if anyone else tried Neverwinter, I tried it last night and it's decent for a F2P MMO, there was lots of lag in certain places though, hopefully that is just because of release day popularity.

Played it today... a lot better then I thought it would be... never played a MMO...actually hate the idea, and I hate F2P games... but tried it anyway...

Don't like or understand why their needs to be such intrusive overlays thou... and still not even sure how to select any or all that crap in the lower center.

Don't know how to MP either, been doing everything myself so far...









bonus point to whoever knows why and what reference is my last name for... I consider my character the son of Sturm.

Magnum, didn't you play STO with me at some point. Neverwinter at end game is the same rep grind style MMO, graphics on Xbox one don't look as good as on my PC and with ESO coming in the near future I can't really bother with Neverwinter. Now if Final Fantasy XIV comes to Xbox One I might go back to gold status to take advantage of ESO and FF XIV.


One day the West will fall. But if the Liberty for which we fight is taken up by the world then the West will not have failed.
