So the reasons you don't use a particular gaming console, has nothing to do with games? Got it.
@ magiciandude
- what compelling exclusive line up? The only exclusives available at the moment are Halo TMCC, Forza, Killer Instinct, and Sunset Overdrive. Hardly compelling (except SSO). You may not be aware, but the rest can be played without an Xbox One.
- when it comes to online service, since you are paying for both, you are going for what service is better for you. This is an excellent idea, getting the most of what you are paying for. Do you follow the same gu...
I wholeheartedly agree. Fortunately PS4 has both, as well as variety :)
How can, at this point, you say 2015 for Xbox One when literally every game (worth playing) on the Xbox One, can be played without an Xbox One (i.e. Ori and State of Decay).
Your opinion, that you are entitled to, makes no sense.
You might as well made your list
1. A game
2. A game
3. A game
4. A game
5. A game
Personally, I played a bunch of great games. A few that stick out are TLoU, Uncharted 2, CoD4 (best MP FPS game IMO), Mass Effect 2, and Lost Odyssey.
So you would use a power supply that's 600w, with a GPU that has a mininum requirement of 500w? What if you wanted to SLI (double or triple) down the line, or over clock some things (to be able to run the inevitably more demanding games in the future)? Are you just going to buy new parts at that point?
Not only am I going to disagree with you on that price, but its still almost twice as much as you can get the consoles for, with a little patience.
@ mikeslemonade
Actually, one of the things you don't want to be cheap with is the PSU. You have to make sure it has enough power and reliability to support your gaming rig, plus anything additional you might add down the line (I.e. an additional GPU, HDD, etc). I'd also recommend a modular PSU since they are rather convenient, but they cost a bit more. $70 for a case is also not that bad, as long as it provides good air flow. It can extent the longevity of the PC.
I can imagine being burnt out if you are playing the games multiple times or back to back from a collections release. I'm not sure how you can be burnt out after playing GoW 3 considering it was released 3 years after GoW 2, unless you played them back to back or something.
It just seems odd to name a franchise that has games released a few years apart on different platforms no less, when there are franchises with yearly releases on the same platforms.
GoW 1 and 2 were on PS2, GoW 3 and Ascension were on PS3, Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta were for PSP. That's two games per platform, hardly a worn out fransachise In my opinion. There have been franchises with 4 or more games on one platform, that seems more likely a candidate for a worn out franchise.
That'd be hard to do considering Demons Souls 2 is not released. I think his statement conveyed the fact that he wants a sequel to Demons Souls.
@ trekster and ilikepizza
You Xbox fanatics are hilarious.
I'd like to challenge any Xbox fanatic to list 15 retail exclusives released on Xbox consoles since 2010 (the last 5 years). Let's see what type of gaming experience is ONLY available on the Xbox brand. I'll give you guys a break and list the obvious ones:
- GeoW 3
- GeoW Judgement
- Forza 4
- Forza Horizon
- Forza 5
- Forza Horizon ...
@ Michaellito
Fair enough.
But I also forgot...
- PS app (similar to smart glass with the ability to stay in touch with friends, view trophies info, and access live from play station on the go)
- game clips in 15 minute length (i personally use this to upload battlefield 4 matches to YouTube, it's actually very practical IMO)
- live from playstation (supports twitch AND ustream)
- cross save (play a game and save it, then r...
@ genuine gamer
Yeah, that makes sense. It's just odd the way the article just mentions the internal HDD.
@ narc
Exclusives exclude other platforms, PC is a platform. If it's not excluded, it's not exclusive. Nobody is trying to make it out like these games aren't available on Xbox, but rather they can be played without one, which contradicts being exclusive. You can consider these games 'console exclusives', which is a term coined for people like you, who care more about what's not on another platform rather than what's only available on your platform...

Probably more

@ transistor
I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of its life cycle, the PS3 passes 100 million.
@ pogmathion
I see a lot of people mention the Xbox one selling at a better rate than last gen consoles during the same time frame, but I've yet to see any substantial proof of that claim. The only thing people mention is a quote by Phil spencer that states the Xbox One outpaced the 360 in the same time frame for November and December. ...
Not for nothing, but most of those "great" games can be played without an Xbox console.
Forza Horizon, Forza 5, Halo TMCC, Sunset Overdrive, and Killer Instinct can only be played on an Xbox console.
Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, Project Spark, Ori, and State of Decay can all be played without an Xbox console.
According to Xbox fans Microsoft has won the last two E3s, but what has that been converted to for Xbox fans? Microsoft li...
@ aussiegamer
Ea access is definitely a good service, but hardly the best. Ive had PS plus since it launch, and I've gotten more than 300 games. That averages out to over 60 games per year, for $50. Even for those that just subscribe, you are looking at potentially getting 5 games every month (2 PS4, 2 PS3, and 1 Vita game). Sometimes games are cross buy so you can get multiple versions of the game too.
On topic:
Options are always good, and I fe...
Fluff? You mean like what Microsoft did at launch? Fluff their lineup by abandoning the 360 and porting the launch games to Xbox One. The PS4 exclusives are not fluff, you may not like them, but that's your opinion. These games were developed for the PS4 and are quality titles (meaning they are not mere ports). The PS4 has nearly double (probably more than) the exclusives available than the Xbox One, just accept it.
BTW, the Nyko databank is merely a means to house an int...
