Well they've sold more than the 360 in the same time frame without the need of a new mainline Halo title... so if that's your definition of falling flat on their face. Sure.
I think MS have achieved the perfect balance of new ip and the return of old ip's (e.g. Recore, Quantum Break and Scalebound are new ip's and the return of Crackdown, Gears and Halo strong ip's xbox is known for.) And even more that I didn't even mention along with games we don...
definitely the most anticipated PS4 game for me next year...
Yes cause metacritic is the be all end all of determining the quality of a game...
IN my opinion Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive are fantastic games and are among the best in their genres I've ever played but they didn't get a 90 on metacritic cause metacritic is just an aggregate score of reviews... even if the majority give a game a 90 it only takes 1-2 lower scores to drop it down below.
Metacritic is fine to see if a game is good or not but ...
I've finished today and half way through on legendary run. It really is a fantastic campaign, the gameplay and level design give it so much replay value.
Yes, although I do believe Dayz and Ark: Survival Evolved are making there way to early access this holiday on X1 which would be great.
Point Lookout - Fallout 3
Old World Blues - New Vegas
Undead Nightmare - Red Dead Redemption
Ballad of Gay Tony - GTA 4 (Where's GTA 5 Story DLC ?)
Left Behind - Last of Us
Lair of the Shadow Broker - ME2
Citadel - ME3
Burial at Sea - Bioshock Infinite
Those are standouts to me...
Well the game is severely unbalanced... Cloak is one of those factors, I think the Walkers are worse so I'd definitely remove them. The Cloaking ability wasn't it MGO2 to the same degree as it is in this and that was way more balanced, there was only one mode dedicated to using it and that's why I think it's perfect for Cloak and Dagger...
And yes Scouts do have counter cloak ability with Optics+ but Infiltrator can get Stealth+ lvl 3 and then they can't s...
The Software and the Hardware is just not there yet, nor is any of it dedicated to high performance gaming and won't be for many years...
Mobile Gaming will be home to many small games and Indies but big AAA, not in the near future.
I think the Walkers should be removed altogether... and stealth camo for that matter. It's fine in Cloak and Dagger but in the other modes not so much.
They need to fix the goddamn party system too, me and my friends are always put on opposite teams when matchmaking...
This is horrible, unjust hate and I hope this does not get approved... I don't agree with encouraging this behaviour. There is nothing consructive or fair with this piece.
If you get the latest build, you may change your mind. Feels more responive/ even faster, loads thing faster, less crashes, many bugs fixed, adds in more functionality and options. Overall it feels more finished but its a big step forward, they can definetly hit a mid to late Nov release.
the internet browser was almost unusable till this point... store kept crashing, constantly rebooting xbox to fix stuff but I'm glad to say there has been a big improvement. This is why its in beta afterall to fix bugs...
Just downloaded and happy to see all the improvement. Feels even better than before... more responsive, faster, less crashes. I am very glad.
Its been in closed beta on X1 for months and it's getting better and better, its most likely cause its been delayed which is not a sign of it being in trouble... means developers need more time. So stop talking crap.
Yes... nuff said.
No idea... as you said I guess I got lucky. Hope you get it soon :]
I just got the update. Hell Yeah.
Man why so negative...
It's a phenominal success, whether you like it or not.
@crash
And how did you come to that conclusion ? You part of the same group that says Dx12 and Cloud Compute will do nothing for X1 ? Sounds like it...
I agree, they may have thought about it but I won't believe for a second they would have actually retired Halo. It's such an important part of Xbox...
