Third party offerings are backed up by demand and number of options.
If they were “superior” they would be leading the charts in sales, twitch attention, YouTube attention, and used as the guide towards improving games each gen.
Like I stated, ten years ago, your view would have a solid footing with your point.
Gears of war never made a splash this gen in anything and halo as well.
Sure, in the Microsoft only community, that small number sti...
That’s the way you view it.
Microsoft is hated. Huge difference in just saying “fanboys”...
If they would just become a gaming company, then said concern would dwindle to a select few..
But there are many that keep things like the Microsoft media partners in check. The monopolizing in check. Etc.
Microsoft was even a part of creating “fanboys” because it is a marketing 101 trick to create a solid base.
Just saying, honestly.. Microsoft is the issue...
What are those multiplayer exclusives?
Racing, both have offerings. Opinion is not relevant. Both have the same solid offerings. How many cookie cutter you release each year does not increase the option of said type. It just means you buy a new version each year.
First person shooter? Third party offerings have been superior compared to the offerings from Microsoft this gen. Both in sales and quality.
Third person shooter? Once again, you only have one option for t...
And both have not been successfully done by Microsoft yet...
My point still stands.
This is Microsoft’s baby step vs other options that have been in the works for far longer and the point is, per Microsoft’s history, one should not build up hopes and or “jump in” expecting great results.
Well, how well was their “cloud power” for Xbox one? If they can not enhance a game that is mainly hardware built, how well will they do with streaming a game?
Yes, eventually it will “work”... but for a software/digital giant like Microsoft... so far they are batting a zero with their cloud goals and I would approach said scenario with hesitation
The console that even its developer abandoned for their better hardware?
There is no value in it.
You do not get hd gaming and performance is below sub par compared to what is out there.
It will be dead very soon as well with Microsoft themselves already talking about next gen.
Microsoft has yet to make any new AAA games this gen of which is the best value of a gaming console.
No new games removes value from xbl due to.. nothing of value being offe...
After 120+ million accounts since ps3...
The real question is, what is left out there to change your name to?
IGN works for money. That is it,
They are like yelp.. sure, there are actual opinions on there, but if you support yelp as a business, your overall rating gets protected as a business or in this case, a product.
Need to correct this. The Xbox one is the worst version.
You mean the x
How was this e3 different for Microsoft?
The fact that they went agai st Phil’s statement of “we do not show off games early” to showing off games early to fluff their non existent library?
I get so lost trying to see the spin some people do for Microsoft. As in, sometime paid shills just stand out.
Do any of you ever ask what Microsoft’s intentions were for this gen?
I mean, 8 years since they have made a new AAA game, 8 years since the...
I thing better than horrible pr marketing spins.
The Xbox one has produced THE worst years sales of a Microsoft console.
The year Pre- Xbox one x release, Microsoft had put up THE worst sales numbers for a Microsoft console due to any consumer not purchasing due to scheduled release.
Microsoft’s console is still being outsold by their previous generation console.
The “growth” being pr-ed here is a bounce back due to said horrible months prior to the Xbox on...
So are going to get downgrade articles tomorrow due to the screenshot... or do we wait for the next trailer?
Not sure when they start after a Sony game gets visual info.
People said the same thing about horizon, god of war, and spider man... all advertised with pretty much the same and slower gameplay sections.
The one thing to take away is you can trust who is releasing the games.
Interesting.
1. Thought the point of bc(and bragging point per Sony’s mini console) was to not have to rebuy old games.
2. How is used games being tracked and effecting npd? Because who in their right mind would be buying new retail copies?
Or is this just another made up fluff piece?
Holy crap some entity is scared of this thing.
Nothing but hate from the media... oh, that is it.
How much money does Microsoft have in the media? Good god.
The x is pushing Xbox One games with more makeup.
Both the pro and x have achieved 4K 60fps... but it comes down to the type of games and their assets.
In order to get the game to 720/900p on the Xbox one, assets are tweaked to reach it. Then you just throw on 40gb of 4K textures and boom.. Xbox one x games.
Most AAA Xbox one x games are dynamic resolution but the pr spins it with “reaches” 4K then just say 4K. That is on games that are barely next gen due to the li...
They ALL did.
Per marketing, not “fake” gameplay.
This gen was started with pc builds being passed off as the retail versions and even the pc version were downgraded at release.
What? Your description would be for h1z1.
The more you scavenge in blackout or in pubg, the better your chances are. This adds in strategies and fun moments.
Outside of building in fortnite, you do exactly what you just described. Drop in, get a weapon as is, and shoot.
Not defending any version or attacking any other game, your description just falls flat with your point.
Hunting in zombie infested areas in blackout can usually net a player the best builds...
Surprised forza 5 did not make that list since it was even being sold the week of release on the tonight show with higher fidelity build that was obviously not running on the Xbox one.
http://egmr.net/2013/11/for...
But the previous gens and downgrades were something of the norm per marketing at the time.
I never once was excited for halo 2...
It’s not clever, it’s a fact.
That is the stigma of Microsoft.
Their words far outweigh their actions to this point.
