Right, clearly its selling like shit... Oh wait, its on pace to sell better than x360 early on. Just because its not selling quite as fast as PS4 (for many reasons) yet, doesn't mean it isn't selling well. Pull your head out of Sony's ass and use logic when looking at numbers.
Until proven otherwise, i'm going to assume that any article/opinion that uses "GTA" and "Low Earnings" in the same sentence is nonsense. All this franchise does is make money. Even with the lower install base, it will sell like hot-cakes.
This is no different than using customer testimonials in advertising... They clearly said it was a twitter comment.
Why in the hell is this even news? Good god this site gets dumber by the day.
The hand gestures have annoyed me a few times, but not frequently. As for the other stuff, its just super subjective. I have not found the lineup to be sparse/expensive or boring at all.
On top of the normal 60 dollar games i bought at launch: Ryse, DR3, BF4, and AC4, I also picked up Powerstar Golf (fun game), Peggle (great game), Killer Instinct (good fighting game) and Max: Curse of Brotherhood (under-rated game). I'm STILL playing most of those games, with the excepti...
Dumb article of one persons opinion, which will be approved because it slams Xbox and this is N4G. For every one of these, there is probably 50 people who don't regret their X1 purchase in the slightest (myself and everyone i know that has one included).
Good for EA and DICE. They will get one more premium sale when they fix ALL the issues from launch. Its a lot better than it was a month ago, but it's still not perfect.
2 games we know practically nothing about... This is stupid.
Strange...
Not much excitement because the first new game in the Gears universe is a LONG way off. Hard to get hyped up for a game series thats always been on Xbox and is 2ish years away.
This isnt really an article about the console war. Just an article about what is coming to X1 in the next 2 months. Why do people (on both sides) need to turn every article into something it isnt?
@milruka
So instead of making games (core and hardcore) more enjoyable and accessible to everyone that enjoys them, we should only allow people that have tons of time to advance and enjoy the game to its fullest? Also, not many Paid for games with micro transactions ruin any experiences for anyone else.
@dcfan
Right, its people like me that buy all systems and tons of games that are making gaming worse. Pretty sure it's actually arrogant assholes like yo...
Thats strange... because i own an X1 and have played at least 10 hours on the PS4 at a friends house... and i'm plenty happy with my X1. Zero regrets.
I guess that means i'm an idiot and am deluded, at least according to you.
Really? I have an X1 and am playing: Ryse, Forza 5, AC4, Dead Rising 3, Call of Duty Ghosts, Battlefield 4, Max: Curse of Brotherhood, Powerstar Golf, and Killer Instinct. I'm not finding a lack of games here. I've turned my 360 on once since getting my X1.
Games are of course subjective, but to say that there arent many games available to keep people on the console is wrong. I can't speak for the PS4 lineup, as i dont have one yet.
Gaf is a joke. They were complete A-holes to him there. Why would he want to go back?
Could not agree more with you. I've not paid an extra cent in Forza, for instance. Still been able to work my way up in short order and get all the cars i've wanted.
Honestly, I actually like the option to pay extra to advance in games. Some gamers just do not have the time they once had to complete games in any timely fashion. I'm all for allowing another method for people to make the decision ont he time vs money thing. For a lot of people, paying an extra 10-15...
the people at Black Tusk have tons of experience. The studio as a whole is new, but the people have experience. Time will tell though if the sum is equal to greater than its parts.
Oh look, more entitlement from gamers... Shocking. /s
If you dont like the model, dont buy the games, simple as that. Its really annoying that gamers think that their HOBBY is some sort of innate human right.
Should be a fun year for xbox one gamers (and gamers of any console preference, really).
I'm skeptical that all of these will launch this year, but heres to hoping!
Seconded. hope this gets approved. This goes right back to the weird entitlement that gamers feel compared to any other entertainment industry. Mass Effect was a great example. The hate mail/death threats to the COD guy who was in charge of balancing multi-player in a post launch patch. Just amazing. Then of course it makes the news, then the "normal" gamers, specifically adults (which is most of us) get a bad rap and are looked down upon by the general public. The immature brutish...
@BX81
Sorry for the "anger". I've been reading articles and comments past my usual limit today. I can only handle so much before the irritation bubbles over.
