FYI, achievements are fucked on Xbox. MS is trying to work on the issue because it's a problem on Live. I had a bunch of cheevos not unlock for me on The Walking Dead on XB1 the past few days. If you're a cheevo/trophy slut like me I'd hold off playing any Xbox games until they fix it.

Interesting. I had one not unlock for me on Dragon Age, but I've read that it has been an issue in general...is this fairly new?

That being said, they're both pretty broken at this point, but I am not surprised to see Handle weigh in in that capacity.

I think it's been just the past few days. You can check the service outage updates on Xbox.com. I wasn't aware of it until I posted a message on xboxachievements.com and someone pointed it out to me.

Both are broken? Both what? Trophies and cheevos? I haven't had any issues with trophies. In fact, they've been what cheevos were on 360. They unlock right away instead of the 30 second delay on ps3. I also haven't had any issues with them not popping. There have actually been a ton of issues with cheevos on XB1 since launch but the past few days has been something that is service wide.

I just meant broken in that they aren't really a measure or form of competition anymore, at least as how I think that they were intended to be. They are mostly just a compulsive reason to keep playing a game. Not a negative, just, they're both pointless now.

Haven't touched Dragon Age in over a month, considering starting another character whenever I jump back into it...

I've been playing through God of War on Vita. Man do I love the Gow games.

I'm looking at getting another PS4 controller with some BB credit. I saw that Amazon (PM @ BB) has them on sale. I'm considering the Camo or Wave Blue one...anyone have the Camo one and does it work like all the others (ie battery life)? I'll probably pick one (maybe both for my PS controller addiction) today.

edit: looks like its 3rd party Amazon...damn!

edit 2: Found the Amazon links to both and had them PM them @ BB. Camo & Wave Blue

Does anyone have NHL 15 (any platform)? I know @ $60 it wasn't worth it but PSN has it for $24. I know XB1/PS4 is bare bones and 360/PS3 is just a roster update but is the new price point low enough to buy..if so, which one?

I've got it for ps4 and I love it. I just need a franchise mode and the ability to play as Matt Duchene and I'm sold. I love the way the game feels. Whenever I have time to play games nowadays, that's my go-to.

Apparently I hurt Seaplus' feelings?

He is thin skinned for somebody that talks so much shit

Destiny should be packaged with a surgeon generals warning. It's too damned addictive.

[krulmichael]

I wish I could get into this game like you guys can (or maybe not). I've never been one for MMORPG type games; although that Tom Clancy's The Order looks like it has potential.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I did not get hooked by that game at all. It was very meh. The story is lame as fuck. The missions are boring. There are only a handful of environments. But it seems like tons of people play nothing but that game. It's like it's the new WoW for people. They play it like it's their job. My cousin is one of them. Good for them I guess?
