Rare Replay
Gears of War Ultimate Edition
Until Dawn
Mad Max
Metal Gear Solid V

Which of these do you own?

I've got Rare Replay, Mad Max and Metal Gear V so far. Gonna pick up Gears around the end of this month. Fucking great month for games :)

Forza 6

I'm definitely considering getting Until Dawn. The replay-ability is what's stopping me.

How's Rare Replay? I'd love to try it, but I don't have an Xbox One. :=/

Will probably get Mad Max sometime later this month after I finish watching Mad Max 2, 3, and Fury Road. MGSV from what I've seen of it looks absolutely outstanding, and I'm so jelly that I've never played an MGS game before. So much so, that I'm about to buy the MGS Legacy collection on PS3 and play the shit out of that.

From what I've seen of it from one of my friends who owns the game, it's definitely worth your time. So many quality games to play, that's it's pretty much a steal for $30. If I owned an Xbox One, I'd get it primarily to play Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, two of my favorite games of all-time. (I prefer the second one of the first. But, both are great games to play.)

Excellent. I mean nothing is "remade" as such, it's all just brought up in resolution and framerate. But the games are excellent and I love the "Snapshot" feature which lets you pick just individual sections/levels/challenges from each game to play, rather than launch the game and play through it. My only issue is that some of the Xbox 360 games occasionally crash or have rather bad framerates at times. Well, Banjo Nuts & Bolts does at least. Viva Pinata and the other Banjo games have run very well so far. Also having Conker and Battletoads and shit tons of other "RARE" (heh) games is amazing!

Fury Road was well overrated. Good action but pretty shit as a whole. Mad Max the game is very good though if rather repetitive. Think Shadow of Mordor set in a desert wasteland with cars and more fistfights than sword fights.

MGS V is a masterpiece from what I've played so far. If I were you, definitely get the Legacy Collection but you don't need to play through them all!!
Just play the games with Big Boss (these are also the best games in the series);

METAL GEAR SOLID III: Snake Eater

and

METAL GEAR SOLID (V): Peace Walker

Then you are already up to date to play Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain. The other games are in a different time period with different characters (eg: SOLID Snake, Raiden, etc). Hell... you needn't even play Ground Zeroes, it's really just a prelude to Phantom Pain. Just watch the cutscenes of Ground Zeroes on youtube, after finishing Peace Walker and you are ready for MGS V!

Here's the timeline.


(Portable Ops is actually before Peace Walker, just 4 years after Snake Eater, but luckily that game is not at all necessary to understand the storyline)

Until Dawn, Mad Max, and MGSV are the three I want. Only MGS games I've played were GotP and GZ.

Coming from the guy who thinks Ang Lee's Hulk is good.

I'm definitely getting MGS5 this year.

You don't need it, really. I'm sure MGS5 will fit well alongside your other extroadinary collection of CSI.

CSI > Agents of S.H.I.T.

They're both shit, though.

@RamboOnRedBull

Yeah, but at least it has an awesome intro and William Petersen from Manhunter.

I'm sure that's the only reason you even bought it.

I always enjoyed the humor in MGS games.
