    So yeah, as the title says I'm unsure what to purchase or pre-order even? I have most major titles, I also pre ordered fallout 4 and halo 5.

    Only games that currently have my on eye are Mad Max and Dragonball Z Xenoverse, however both look like a buttload busy work that will feel a bit like a chore. But both look really cool especially the latter... Even if I'm not even 50% familiar with the universe.

    The Only two games I'm interested in preordering are Black Ops 3 (I skipped Advanced warfare not for any particular reason), Rainbow six siege and Star wars Battlefront. Each has their draw but each has a huge weakness.

    So with all that said any opinions on the two I want or three I want to pre-order? Things that may interest me more or turn me away completely? Or maybe there's a game thatvi haven't thought about that's already out? Any help is appreciated!

    No Metal Gear eh? It's the best game I have played in years, and I haven't even played a Metal Gear game since the original Metal Gear. It's that good.

    I have no opinion on any of those games, and don't plan on buying any of them. But the rainbow six battle front and black ops are all 3 specific shooters though. So I'd say choose that way. Cod, battlefield, or fake CS. I still play AW on xbox also, I just don't really like how black ops 3 looks.

    Whatever you choose, don't choose Xenoverse. I love that universe and the game was fun for like a hot week until I beat the story and most of the missions, which did not last long. The MP is hot garbage.

    Haven't played Mad Max, but Xenoverse is pretty fun. Wait for a sale if it's $60 though, and even then I'd only say to buy it if you love(d) DBZ since a lot of its fun comes from all the fanservice.

    Otherwise, I dunno. I don't have an Xbox One anymore. When I did I loved Sunset Overdrive so I'd recommend that. Rare Replay seems pretty ballin'.

    @hypnotoadbrwowrowrow: I hear that a lot, a lot of people on my friend list play it and say they love it... But I may not be in the same boat, as those guys like dragonball z and anime more than me.

    Xenoverse isn't worth it. It has Monster Hunter level grinding, and the combat's very basic.

    Well, not worth unless you're a big DBZ fan.

    You mentioned Black Ops 3 and Battlefront. Black Ops 3 had a beta that I'm hoping you didn't miss--best COD since Ghosts 1, IMO--and Battlefront is going to have a beta. That should help you decide, but I'd just go for whichever one your friends seem like they're going to be playing.

    @mrhadouken: I don't know if they've balanced it all out at this point but when I played, the MP was just mindless spamming of ultimates.

    @spaceinsomniac: I did play the beta, must say I didn't like it... Only due to the walk around a corner and be killed by literally a single bullet from an assault rifle. That's way too over powered! I understand 4-5 bullets, but that wasn't the case. So I just said "its just a beta, see what the main game is like."

    I'm gonna check out the Battlefront beta as well, the only thing that sucks with Battlefront is 4 maps is it until DLC starts sucking you dry.

    I've played a bit of Mad Max on my PC. It's good, but I keep having trouble getting motivated to go back to it. Not really sure why. I'm a Mad Max fan from way back, the game isn't bad, but for some reason it just isn't bringing the intense desire to keep going that comes with a truly great game.

    They've nerfed quite a few moves, but I still would never suggest people buy it for PVP. It's much better suited as a co-op game with friends to be honest. (Although my friend and I play against each other sometimes where we pick random characters. Always a blast when one of us gets Super Saiyan God whatever and the other gets Frieza's henchman)

    @turtlebird95: dammit, looks like it's back in the running. I probably won't touch PVP if it were to be on sale soon and I bought it.

    I haven't heard anybody say anything about the Handsome Jack collection, never played any borderlands 2 DLC or The pre sequel, however I've heard frame rate issues and pop in plague the game on Xbox one, has this been fixed or is it still pretty rough?

    I'd say get your hands on some smaller priced games. Octodad, massive challice, ori, etx to just mkx things up from your shooter heavy list.

    @skullpanda1: I'm only going with one of those if any, I actually don't play many shooters. However I have thought of doing that and the only downside is I buy them play them for a day and never return. I love shovel knight and rouge legacy, just can't find the intrest to return which sucks because they are so good. Right now the Mega man collection is calling my name.

    I would save it for Just Cause 3 or Tomb Raider.

    @memonk: that's right tomb raider isn't too far off, and the first is coming to games with gold this month... Love me some tomb raider. Never played any of the Just Cause games.

    It's fixed on PS4, but I'm not sure about Xbox One. That's one game with an absolute mountain of content, but it's really best in co-op.

    So I think I may have decided to get Resident Evil Revelations 2 and Resident Evil HD remake, since I never played one and could never finish the other (When I was younger). That leaves $15 so then maybe the binding of Isaac or The mega man collection.
