The last Gears of War game was really good too. So was Cuphead. Quantum Break had flaws but it was a solid IP as well. The original Titfall was a great launch exclusive for X1 and MS should have acquired Respawn and cultivated that IP as an Xbox exclusive. Ryse: Son of Rome is underrated as well.

Because its racing. And racing games are a niche genre that doesnt appeal to as wide an audience as a Marvel licensed open world action/adventure game. People have known that FH is a quality series for years now. The problem is not enough gamers give a shit.

"I dont think they're trying that hard..."
LOL what more can they do? Great IP's aren't created overnight. It takes time and yes, for this generation it's too late. But you can't deny that MS has made a lot of positive moves to better position themselves going into next generation.
I think he just means that MS has made a lot of bold moves over the last 3 years to try and better position themselves to compete. Just in the last 3 years they initiated BC, launched a better designed X1 with the S, launched a more powerful console with the X, launched Game Pass, added new Live features, acquired new studios, etc.
I'm not an Xbox fan whatsoever but anyone can see that MS is trying.
And no one outside of the most anal retentive fanboys even notice or give a rat's ass. The experience is EXACTLY the same on all platforms except PC's that can push 60fps.
Finally! So now P@ssyDestroyer69 can adopt a more mature name! :)
To add to this, Sony has spent the last 4 generations building such an enormous amount of gridlock trust and loyalty with it's consumers. Gamers know what they are getting when they buy a PlayStation console. They are getting a tried and true formula of impeccable 3rd party support and the lion's share of critically acclaimed 1st party/2nd party exclusives. That is the winning formula. Everything else is just window dressing. As long as Sony stays the course and continues with th...
And as strictly a player, I appreciate your contributions!
Waiting on Punch Out!
The unveiling will have it's own stand alone event. E3 will be used for more in depth information.
To be honest, they could have easily canceled last years PSX. It was very light on content as well.
2017 was great, but for me 2018 has been a crushing disappointment. Nothing but Wii U ports and disappointing new releases. Octopath Traveler has been the lone bright spot for the console, and that is such a niche title that doesn't appeal to a very broad audience. Overall I would grade Switch about a 7 right now.
I think the biggest misconception among consumers and critics with regards to Sony and their stance on crossplay is they seem to think Sony was simply being spiteful. Like they were just standing there with their arms folded, refusing to flip a switch as if it were that simple. It's not! I talked to a Sony PR representative several months ago and he told me that the reason Sony refused crossplay with Xbox and Switch at that time was because in order to do so, they were required to shar...
They wont. But I'm sure they will be great nonetheless.
Edit: Nevermind. Reboot fixed it.
Anyone else having trouble with getting the theme to work? I keep getting an error that says "cannot connect to server. Cannot confirm license."
Confirmed! New Ueda game being developed using Dreams engine.
I'm definitely getting the Switch version with the Starfox content! It feels like the Starfox game that Nintendo refuses to give me!
They still need to fix their jacked up pricing structure. Just make it 10.00 per month and be done with it.
I think MS knows their success does not lie with console market share. That's why they don't even bother releasing those numbers anymore. It's pointless. They simply cannot compete with Sony on that level. MS' success lies in profitability by creating more revenue streams. That's why they opened all of their IP's to the PC market. That's why they didn't pull Minecraft from other platforms when they acquired Mojang. That's why they created Game Pass....
