6 Things Xbox One Does Better Than PS4

To give credit where it's due, the Xbox One has a lot going for it other than what matters most in its battle against the PS4.

"#5 BETTER “FREE” GAMES"

That's a very subjective reason to list

darthv723219d ago

Agreed. Some of the free offerings aren't exactly stellar at times.

RpgSama3219d ago

Is it that time of the year already? Where we start to list subjective ways why one is better than the other, stupid articles

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen3219d ago (Edited 3219d ago )

That list isn't very compelling at all.

DARK_WOLF3219d ago (Edited 3219d ago )

Ps4 has had better free games the last couple months imo

Kryptix3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

"2. Quality Control"

Yea, Recore wasn't a buggy mess when it first came out and that was a game in the Best Lineup in Xbox History list.

I know what they're trying to say, but if you click on their "list of the worst PS4 games," some of those games are actually on Xbox One, too like Ghostbusters & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5.

Well, the article writer obviously has a one sided agenda or lives in Lala Bizarro land.

I can point out the other flaws of the list, but it speaks for itself when you attach points that are clearly subjective.

they're all subjective - especially the one about quality control.

edit: and I don't think having more subscription services = doing things better.

ThinkThink3219d ago

That would depend on whether or not you felt that the subscription services offered value. If you don't, then it's clearly not for you. I love EA access and games pass so for me, it's a huge plus. That's just me though. Little old me.

The 10th Rider3218d ago

Eh, EA Access is actually a fantastic idea. Before I thought it was a decent option, but I was looking at a few PS4 games for a friend for his birthday and some of EA's have much better userbases on Xbox because they're available on EA Access. When a game's online userbase starts shrinking they can simply add it to EA Access and it immediately gets a boost in the playercount.

Bronxs153219d ago

Agreed in a person sense. But games are rated. And if free games on live are consistently better regarded tittles with higher metacritic scores it's a valid statement in that we know what he means.

He could have said "#5 higher rated free games". It would mean the same thing. But as we know what he means let's try and not be so defensive.

Chevalier3219d ago

To save you guys the read here is the most important part of the article since its a bad list.

" While the PS4 may boast the best games and most exciting new IP, the Xbox One has plenty of other plus points. "

BEST GAMES and NEW IPs for a game system. Only point that truly matter.

Sam Fisher3219d ago (Edited 3219d ago )

Probably toasts bread better. Thats all i can come up with 🤷🏻‍♂️

modelgod3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

Value of the free game, relative to the library of games that each console has. That's how you decide which console offers the best free games. I don't know what Sony offers, but I'm assuming they already gave TLOU as a free game. Ifthe X had the PS4 lineup, I'm pretty sure TLOU would have been a free game months ago.

OoglyBoogly3218d ago

Aren't you paying for that through the subscription costs anyways? So it's not even free for either console. Also, yes, completely subjective. Especially so considering how long MS didn't have it and all the games PS owners have possibly racked up over the years.

AmUnRa3218d ago

This and Sony started this service of free games by PSN?

YAO-BLING3218d ago

infinity things ps4 does wayyy better than xbone... no article needed.

They say quality control while both consoles release broken games and both have shitty games that no one plays. Having more on PS4 is the same reason it has more games in general, it has the largest market share.

rainslacker3219d ago

To my knowledge, the quality control is on the part of the publisher, not the console maker. The console maker is only responsible for making sure the game will run on the system, and not do something against the companies compliance policies. For the most part, a broken game on one system, is usually not that great on the other system either.

Hardiman3213d ago

Very good point. I have no idea why he brought up quality control.

FinalFantasyFanatic3219d ago

Is this why Steam has so many rubbish, throw away games? Possibly (it's one of the reasons I hate scrolling through Steam, have to browse so much shovel ware to find new good stuff).

Cacabunga43d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot42d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose43d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE43d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername42d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy43d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde42d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8642d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8642d ago (Edited 42d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300043d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle42d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7742d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
