  1. Received a substantial amount of money in Gift Cards today with more than half of the amount being a Best Buy card. I sold off all of my old 360 games except for Lego Marvel last week as I had plans to upgrade around April.

     

    April came early. Figured it would be better to grab something sooner than later before the deals and bundles dried up. The last time I bought a gaming console was in 2005 with the 360. It lasted me ten years. Let's see how long the X-Box One lasts.

     

    Why 360? It came down to a few major things.

    1 - The PS4 controller felt foreign to me.

    2 - Both of my cousins and one of my friends are on X-Box One

    3 - I already have an X-Box Live Account

    4 - Did I mention that the PS4 controller felt foreign to me?

     

    So... X-Box One Assassin's Creed Bundle and I threw in a Rechargeable Battery Pack.

     

    Game suggestions? The Assassin's Creed games should keep me plenty busy in the rare time I have to play. I want to pick up Lego Marvel as I was in the middle of that, and that game is really fun.

     

    I hear good things about Destiny but what else?

     

    I am a casual gamer.

     

     

    BTW... I am up setting this whole thing up before the world crashes in about 16 hours as people start unwrapping and setting up their own consoles... As Microsoft is already reporting heavy traffic, this may have been a wise decision not to leave this for tomorrow.

     

    Get Destiny (aka Grind Fest) if you want to spend countless hours of farming in game items needed for weapon/armor upgrades. My friends and I all bought the game and a few of us sold the game after about a month. Too much grinding! The initial release of Destiny was a total dud in my opinion. Now, the expansion was just released but I don't know how much of a difference that makes in regards to the already confusing story line, lack of multiplayer maps and game modes, and lack of private match set up. Pretty much everything that Halo has, Destiny is lacking. Now of course they are adding new things as time goes on, but as stated before, prepare to grind your life away with Destiny.

     

    I would suggest getting Shadow of Mordor before you get Destiny, unless all of your friends are bugging you to play Destiny with them. SoM is a great game!!!! You won't (shouldn't) be disappointed with SoM.

  2. Hello folks!

     

    My name is Eric and I collect video games (NES, SNES, PS1, Gamecube, N64 etc.). I have been collecting video games for about 6 years now. My username at nintendoage.com is the same as it is here.

     

    Recently, a friend of mine who is into Marvel Comics, got me hooked into reading comic books. I am VERY NEW to reading and collecting comics so I have had to do some research as to what things mean or what they are such as CGC, "pressing" a comic, "slabbing" a comic etc. So far it has been really fun and exciting. I've started reading modern Avengers storylines and tie-ins dating back to Disassembled, just so I can be somewhat familiar with modern marvel and hopefully catch up to the Axis event going on right now. My first "big pick up" was Avengers 57. I think the Vision is awesome! The first time I saw that cover (which was about 2 months ago), I said to myself, "wow that is a work of art!!".

     

    I have been lurking around this forum for about 2 weeks now and decided to join. I hope to learn so much more and expand my collection. Anyways, have a good day!
