Well it's not like they all come out on the same day, and I normally don't budget for that many games but I was going to get:
Destiny
DriveClub
LBP3
Captain Toad' Treasure Tracker
Smash
Hyrule Warriors
Dragon Age Inquisition
The Evil Within
I decided to wait on Hyrule Warriors, Dragon Age and Evil within. As far as greenback potato salad is concerned, I have a decent salaried job. I don't spend a ton on gaming, but I do purchase the titles I'm excited about. Next year may be even more if everything I want meets the anticipated release date.

Slight silver lining: At least you didn't have a gaming PC for them to take.

I am honestly thinking about trading in my ps4 toward the white bundle. I need two copies of the game anyway, and I think I can get near 360 bucks for my ps4 at gamestop...so I have to ask myself is it worth 40 bucks to get that white ps4 AND effectively extend my warranty another year.
I have 10 games I want this holiday season but rarely pay 60 a game. My post should have said 600 dollars worth of games between GAF and CAG I hunt the deals
I don't smoke, drink, or even buy lunch at work. I game and game hard lol.
That'd be the equivalent of having your PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, GameCube, Xbox stolen. Phew.

Ouch, so sorry. What happened? By that I mean was there a break-in at your residence? I have zero hard facts to back this up, but I thought a high percentage of break-ins are by someone you know either directly or indirectly. Especially if only certain items seemed to be targeted. Many moons ago my apartment was broken into and my brand new Sega Genesis was stolen but nothing else. I eventually found out it was an ex-roomate and was able to re-commandeer my property.
Hope you are able to get replacements soon.

Ugh that sucks. Did you have insurance?
I'd be like Liam Neeson from Taken if my shit was stolen.

How does everyone feel about armor having a preset color? Or did the shaders affect that? I never bought any of them.
My list is similar but also includes Forza Horizon 2 and GTA5 if it actually makes it out. Evolve wasnt on my list until I read the impressions from a lot of people that played it at E3. Apparently it's awesome.

Shaders will change it fully, I'm counting on finding a purple one for that PS4 exclusive Hunter armor. Hate orange...

For this fall I only want Destiny, Evil Within, and Lords of the Fallen, so it won't be too bad on my wallet, thankfully.

And this is perfection. No others needed this fall.
Save for MAYBE Captain Toad Treasure Tracker... or Splatoon (but i think that might be 2015)

I really wish there was one of those pick your color "color wheels" for each armor piece so we could pick from an infinite blend of color, saturation and opacity. Shaders are so not cool
Thanks for this - however, I'm getting a "Video is Private" on the Mamma said knock you out montage. Do you happen to have another link?

The shaders changed the look of your armor, even in the alpha.
If you have enough crucibile points, and a high enough crucible rank, you were able to buy shaders from the crucible venders. We all know that the crucible was PVP.
Even if you don't do PVP, you were still able to buy the shaders from them because we were able to turn in spin metal to the crucible venders for cricible points and rank and when you did that enough, you were able to buy the shaders, although there were only a few shaders to select. Like red and blue.
I didnt find that out until the last day of the alpha, and i was spending all my spin metal trying to increase the rank of my vanguard, but all the rewards for getting a rank one vanguard where too high a level for alpha players to use, while the crucible had shaders you could buy if you increased your crucible rank instead.
Now knowing this info before beta, i will make the right choice next time.
Bungie should really hire that guy, as a community manager or something. He makes the best videos.

I made mine.I used the Retro Bungie shirt as reference, changed the colors, and made it a little more detailed. Then I used the Playstation app to upload it as my avatar.
Nice mod on the avatar. I took mine directly from the shirt, since I am not good at photoshopping. Just a crop and reverse.

This should be mandatory... like not even a question.
Hey guys, I just had a talk with Valentinus. From what I understand he is the official Leader of DestinyGAF.
we have come to a mutual agreement in whats going to happen with this situation. we pretty much have resolved this peacefully.
I'll be making another post detailing what went down soon. But first I need to talk to my members over at the other group.
I'm very happy that we finally solved this issue.

This right here.
Wolfenstein has been fun but Destiny will be the only other FPS I buy for a long time. Can't see anything else coming close for awhile, especially since I've got zero interest in COD or Battlefield anymore.
For a game that's receiving so much praise now, I do have to wonder where the hate was coming from before.
Pre-ordered the PS4 Destiny bundle as well.
Glad to hear. Good job, guys!
Popping into the thread just to comment that that's some bullshit

Well, it's a computer lock.
The brand, no idea as I bought a bunch from different locations to find as many as I could buy. i have like 12 of them. Everything I own is locked down.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...efix=computer+lo,aps&rh=i:aps,k:computer lock
Some products may not have a lock slot, for example, the PS4 does NOT have one, but the Xbox ONE does.
if the product you want to protect does not have a lock slot, you may need to find a perfect spot to drill a small lock slot yourself. Its just a small hole.
First you secure the metal cable to a object that is either too heavy to move or cant move at all, and then you loop the locking mechanism through the noose end as you in the picture above.
Then, the computer locking mechanism goes into the lock hole on the product itself, and the lock end that goes into the hole, expands when you lock it. forcing the lock to get stuck into the hole.
It's the same lock that computer stores use to lock down laptop computers like in the apple store or best buy. These locks can be bought anywhere, where computers are sold.
Best buy, wal-mart, comp USA(if they still exist), FRY's, appla store, Tiger direct.
I choose to go into a store and buy mines as I wasn't about to wait a few days to secure my stuff, i wanted my stuff locked asap.
My place was broken into just like Dax, so i took steps to make sure that doesn't happen again.
*ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ*
Now i'm not very good with words so if anything I'm about to say is confusing, I'm sorry.

As you know right now we have two Destiny groups. DestinyGAF and DestinyGAF PS4.
Valentinus who is the leader of DestinyGAF and I have sat down and talked (via the power of the cloud... I meant PS4) and have come to a conclusion that we both think will benefit the members of both groups as well as ending this dilemma once and for all.
We have agreed to merge the two groups together under one banner of DestinyGAF. If only the following conditions apply or will be apply in the future.
1) There will be no more drama from now on. Anyone who is caught making a fuss will be given a warning. There will be a 2nd warning as well. If it happen a 3nd time, depending on if you're an admin or a regular member. You will be demoted to being a regular member and/or banned from the group.
2) We have decided to have Divisions within DestinyGAF. There will be 2 Commanders per Sub-Group dedicated to each console. So there will be a total of 8 Commanders, and each one of those Commanders will have a 2nd in command underneath him, a Captain. Each Commanders is responsible for his own Division.
*Commanders so far for the PS4 Division will be Me and Valentinus. I believe Valentinus already found his Captain as well. The other Division Commanders will be appointed/volunteered later. Commanders can pick his own Captain. Commanders and Captains are the only ones who can appoint other admins to their divisions*
*There will be an official list of all the admins, including their Bungie Name/ GAF name and their respective region so people know who to look for when in need*
Please remember that Admins are NOT being picked because they're your BFF, we should only pick those who are responsible, love NeoGAF and Destiny and are professional.
3) Within each Divisions underneath the Commanders and then the Captains will be a group of Admins that will help handle the every day work of organizing strike groups, monitor the Forum and Threads, etc.
4) As you can tell if you ever visited any other forum like Ubisoft forum for example. That within each Forum there are Sub-forums dedicated to different topics.
(example: Ubisoft Forum -> Assassin's Creeds 4 -> which will split off into "Announcement" "Q&A" "Finding Friends" etc.
As far as we can tell there is no such thing like that on Bungie.net Group Forum. So Valentinus and I will try and talk to Bungie about that, about if they could add Sub-Forum as a feature.
If not, we will try and ask the mods on here if we could create an OT for Destiny, and also 4 more threads in the Gaming Community section for each of the platforms. So people can socialize normally in the OT and talk to their brothers specifically on their own specific thread. In the OT will 4 links to those separate threads so people can find them easily. (Assuming this is okay with the mods of course)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is basically what Valentinus and I have agreed upon after talking with one another. If you have any question, feel free to PM me or Valentinus or post it bellow.
Though Valentinus is sleeping at the moment. So I will handle all the answers till he return.
*DestinyGAF PS4 will be disbanding sometimes soon. All members should migrate to DestinyGAF if they havent join yet. Admins of DestinyGAF PS4 and DestinyGAF. You guys will join forces very soon. Valentinus and I will talk to you guys later about that.*
I'm glad that we have resolved this peacefully without pitchfork and machine guns.
Long Live DestinyGAF.
EDIT 1: Members of DestinyGAF PS4. Please don't leave this group just yet. There is a GAF member who is sending an email to a Bungie Employee asking if they can merge the two groups together. So people don't have to waste time re-applying, So please just sit tight until further update.

I could be wrong but I don't think this'll happen. That's way too many threads for something that can just be coordinated in the Destiny OT.
Valentinus and I thought that in the OT. If we put 4 links in the first post, people can click on it and it will send the to the thread that was made for that specific platform.
The OT will be in the Gaming Section and the other 4 threads will be in the Gaming Community Section of NeoGAF
