New xbox over games Usual Phill

CyberSentinel2428d ago

The Xbox brand is pathetic this generation.

sprinterboy2428d ago

I prefer healthy competition, but ms have literally handed to Sony on a plate this gen, it couldn't have gone any worse for MS tjis gen, don't get me wrong, sitting on a nice profit and all but they've missed out on potential billions more profit

agnosticgamer2428d ago

Why do you think they bought 6 development studios and are building one from the ground up. No reason to be negative, unless of course, you are just yet another negative and cynical user on this site.

So your comment doesn't really make a whole lot of since, because the studio acquisitions have already taken place
that will address the lack of exclusives.

KeenBean3452428d ago

N4G will probably still get these types of comments even if Microsoft churn out some great games next gen no doubt, they cant win even if they do something right with some people

blacktiger2428d ago

I hate microsoft but I agree with him, we need competitor to make sure everyone -plays fair rules otherwise corporation cant wait to win and then rip gamers off. Thats nothing new. We gamers need to stick together, regardless of my hatred against microsoft

NLink07142428d ago

Buying studios is just one step. The ethos at Microsoft has been making games as a vehicle for some other initiative. Case in point: forcing crackdown 3 as a means to highlight gamepass. For subscribers it’s an option...equivalent to Netflix streaming shovelware. It’s an option for sure but not a very good one. I do feel bad for those that actually forked out 60 for it.

Basically, I’m glad Microsoft is trying to improve their first party but I have a STRONG HESITATION about most of their first party content. Most of those studios don’t have a strong recent track record. I’ll watch and wait to see what they put out.

Will all those acquisitions change this generation?
Will they put "Xbox One" in first place?

I don't think so, maybe next generation things will be different, but that was my point.

Thundercat772428d ago

Buying studios and actually releasing good games are totally different things. You are assuming that by buying some studios, everything wrong with Microsoft is fixed and that's total BS.

SyntheticForm2427d ago

While I agree that it's generally better to be positive, I think that cautious optimism is what we should practice in regards to Microsoft.

The studio acquisitions don't necessarily mean a bunch of solid new IPs; Microsoft could do anything with those new studios. Let's not needlessly dump on Microsoft, but nobody should be popping any champagne either.

I know right, all this and controllers over games, well AAA anyway

Sgt_Slaughter2428d ago

Awesome color, there hasn't been a purple special edition since the N64 I believe. Shame about the Fortnite part of it though.

-Foxtrot2428d ago

Well I mean the Gamecube was purple from the get go so there's that

Sgt_Slaughter2428d ago

That's why I put special edition since that was the default for it

Funny that they still charge to play free to play games on xbox one. If you dont have live gold than youre SOL if you want to lay fortnite on xbox. you dont need plus or nintendo's online to enjoy this free game. Yet xboxone fans will worry more about sony not having cross play than to call MS out on this shady BS.

SyntheticForm2427d ago

I hear what you're saying, but fans and fanboys aren't the same thing.

TheSaint2427d ago

Anyone who downvotes cold hard facts is a fool.

CaptainCook2427d ago

Funny Sony charges for online cloud saves limited to 100gb, while Microsoft offers unlimited cloud saves that's not locked behind a paywall.

gangsta_red2427d ago

Who's down voting cold hard facts?

gangsta_red2427d ago

If Sony can offer free online for f2p with heavy microtransactions and loot boxes then why can't Sony offer free online for games user's actually pay for??

But Sony fans would rather keep talking about MS then call Sony out on that shady BS.

TheUndertaker852427d ago

Which turns very invalid as this bundle, the topic of the story, contains Xbox Live.

Good! .....and no more awfully boring simulators as well please!

galgor1d 1h ago

You didn't see the group of simulator games that just launched then, eh?

Eonjay1d 7h ago

Next story will be about how Sony is hurting gamers by blocking trash games.

....don't give them ideas.....

gold_drake1d 6h ago

dude who made those games definitely made bank with them tho.

im glad they're gone tho

jznrpg1d 4h ago

I hate those trophy whore games so good.

DivineHand1251d 4h ago

Too bad for the trophy hunters, but this action is necessary.

The existence of these games for the sole purpose of helping people pad their trophy list cheapens the experience.

It also clutters the store with garbage games.

jambola19h ago

I wouldn't even care if you could just filter them
but I like sorting by newest to oldest to see new games and this really just ruins it
