Literally just finished it. First time I've had fun with this game in literal months -- and it was just a horde mode with a decent loot system.
Between "Xbox, Record That" and "Xbox, Snap _____" (and an alternate mic when my A50s are charging), the kinect survey little purpose. I enjoy it as an IR blaster, but that is a feature I could live without.
That being said, I too would probably end up getting one with Kinect were the choice given to me -- assuming that something renders the one I already have inoperable.

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

While you aren't wrong about the titles not being fully XO exclusive, the games /are/ exclusive as far as consoles are concerned, and that's what we're all referring to. The majority of gamers don't have a beefy rig AND a console of choice - it's usually one or the other.
However, if we are going to play the game of "it isn't a /true/ exclusive", then you don't get to list Street Fighter 5 or No Man's Sky or an...
That's exactly why Blu-Ray absolutely trounced HD DVD. History has proven time and time again that as soon as porn hops on board, the product will (almost always) succeed.
After Joseph Staten joined the Xbox Family, there wasn't anyone else who I thought I'd be super excited about joining.
But now Microsoft Studios' Creative Directors include the writer/cinematic director for Halo and the Project Director for both Mass Effect & KOTOR -- that's huge!
Hell, all they need now is Todd Howard and they'll have each of my favorite developers running Microsoft Studios. :D
Well "Teaser" /is/ in the title, so... :P
@2.1
I disagree... That opening was enough to get me all sorts of hot and bothered!
Of course, I'm a huge medieval fantasy buff, so I can get into just about anything like GoT.
OT: Great find OP! Glad to finally be picking this up. Been wanting to since release, but couldn't bring myself to for one reason or another.

They're gonna need something massive to counter Halo. That's one of the largest IPs currently within the gaming landscape.
Being and EA dev, I bet that they could call up Respawn and borrow some of their experience with Titanfall's AI elements. Hopefully they're a little more effective though. Titanfall's grunts are basically tissue paper disguised as cannon-fodder.
This is the fourth month that XO has sold more than PS4.
Dec 2013 [PS4] ~862K [XO] 908K
Nov 2014 [PS4] 826K [XO] 1,230K
Dec 2014 [PS4] 1,065K [XO] 1,290K
Apr 2015 [PS4] 174K [XO] 187K

No, it is the sprinkle of fanboy you have to put into everything. If your comment was "Microsoft is going to have a great E3" then you would be uprooted. But adding the "They're just mad about [insert X here]" tidbit is what is getting you down-voted.
So glad that MS is focusing so heavily on First-Party content. Also, that final paragraph gets me so pumped for the next few months worth of announcements!
"This year, we have an amazing games lineup to share (who knew it’d be so hard to pack all of our exclusive E3 premieres into an hour and a half?), so we’re saving a lot of exciting reveals for gamescom in August. It’s already shaping up to be a great year."
Great time to be an Xbox fan! Knock it...
Slow your roll Bruno. We're only 15 months in. Within the next couple years we're getting Halo, Uncharted, Fallout, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts 3, and many many more.
Holmes did delete his tweet confirming the Limited Edition console, likely due to a few larger names catching wind, so the likelihood of an E3 announcement is practically confirmed.
Hopefully it will feature a 1TB (preferably 2TB) HDD and an enticing design. COD's was overly crowded and fairly ugly IMO. I'm more of a minimalist as far as design is concerned, so I'm "hoping" I will be getting an excuse to get another XO here in 6 months or so.
Click-bait is a thing because it works - this submission is a clear example of that. If an author can drum up a false non-issue and then get people to have an opinion one way or the other (though a negative opinion usually generates the most noise), then people will both go to the submission/article to voice said opinion.
A lot of people trolling and/or being willfully ignorant and claiming the XO is 720p, and a lot of other people educating them that it's 900p... Both pa...
Well BF has had lobby browsers for several iterations now, and as far as I'm aware, it's one of the only console games that features that kind of multiplayer game/map selection -- and that's mostly because of the sheer size of the games and the incredible player count.
Is Project Cars the same way? Cuz if so then it definitely needs it. I've seen SP videos of dozens of cars, but idk about MP.
I love how you're getting 'so many' disagrees, despite everyone knowing that this is exactly what is going on.
Windows 10 and DirectX 12 are coming, and that seems to frighten people for some reason... Not sure why someone would be anything other than excited.
I for one can't wait. And being a preview member never looked better, as we'll get the update a month early. :D
You do know that Halo 4 came out in November 2012, right? And that the XO released in November 2013, right?
Honestly, how deliberately poor is your memory?
What? 20+ minutes of Powers didn't get your blood pumping?
