Yeah but there are games that are never released on PC. It would be great to just have Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo release all their games on a single platform, it would mean I'd have a few less consoles under my TV.

I feel like at some point in the future since Xbox One is based on Windows 10 and Microsoft has said Windows 10 is the final version of Windows (like OS X on Macs) the two will merge at some point, maybe an Xbox SKU of Windows 10 like how we have Home and Pro now.

They were all up to level 50, but luckily I am at the point of the game where I don't appear to need to spend any caps, and I just keep getting more from leveling up all the dwellers I have training.

At that point you realise you're just maintaining the status quo and move on to something else.

So High Moon Studios' Deadpool is on sale on Xbox One for the next 24ish hours. Is it worth getting? I kinda feel like I should grab it before it goes away again, but not to sure if it's any good.

EDIT: Here's the link for anyone that wants it. https://store.xbox.com/en-AU/Xbox-On...id=majornelson

I played it on PS3 and I enjoyed the game a lot. Even though reviewers hated it due to the bland combat and environment, the writing is superb and personally, I thought the combat was fine for a pick up and play 10 hour story mode.

That said I got it for very cheap, I wouldn't pay more than $20 for it...

The Boss fight is rubbish and the jumping mechanics can go die in a hole, but otherwise I agree with Christalcase, worth an easy $20, but not much more. Youll play it, laugh at it, wonder how that got past the censors and finish it before never touching it again!

I guess. But my vault has always been fairly self sufficient. It's run smoothly ever since the start. Still cranking along. Wanna unlock all the rooms methinks.

Deadpool has some great writing. But the gameplay is pretty troubled. The camera is ridiculous making it hard to enjoy the combat. Which I found okay and kind of fun with the switching between guns and melee on a whim.
Never got to finishing it because of too many small rooms and the camera being unfriendly.

If it's cheap do it. Or watch a YouTube playthrough of it.

Absolutely. Work your way up to Nuka cola bottling plants and maybe hit the population cap of 200 before calling it quits.

I really wish it was easier to get retro games on modern consoles. There were a lot released on Xbox 360, a few less released on PS3 and the Wii's collection was good but could have been better given how many emulators and libraries they had. This generation tho everyone has backed off releasing old games.:( So I'm looking at building an emulator box using a low end PC. I know it's not legal, but after Jeff Gerstmann said on the Bomb Cast the other week that even Nintendo doesn't care about stopping emulation anymore why not give it a go.

I'm going to hold off on moving to the PS4 as I just bought a couple more PS3 games: Injustice Gods Among Us and Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag.

I wasn't too interested in a DC themed Mortal Kombat and all the boat stuff put me off AC IV but I got them new for $1 each from JB (as they had no original cover) and for $1 I'm happy to give both game a shot.
