A laid-back discussion of this week in gaming

For this week’s episode of Hardline, the major topic of discussion was Electronic Arts’ new subscription service for Xbox One that offers full access to select games and discounts on digital DLC and full-game purchases for $4.99 per month, or $29.99 annually. Is it a good value, and if so, for who? Was Sony right to turn down the program?

Steven, Brett, and Bill also chatted with me about Deep Silver picking upHomefrontfrom Crytek and why the lack of period-appropriate decapitations inAssassin’s Creed Unityis a bit silly.

We had a technical mishap mid-recording that threw off our audio-video synch, so no video episode this week. Sorry! Just imagine Steven looking stoned and everything will be okay.
