Is the Xbox One Putting a Damper on 2017?

Because it is.

Now, I wanna start this thread of by saying I'm a huge lemming. Yeah, big Xbox guy. I got, like, over a 100.000 gamerpoints, so I'm all serious about this.

But let's get real, the Xbox, this year, has been nothing but bad news. Or no news. It had Halo Wars (6/10), which got a 6/10, and that's not great. Hell, anything under 7 isn't worth talking about. Meanwhile, the Ps4 is kicking ass and taking names. Nioh, Gravity Rush 2, and Nier, which is also on PC. Which brings me to PC, which is also doing great by having games that are like Skyrim with more dialogue, which is great. Joined alongside with titles with Hollow Knight and Bloody Boobs. So, two platforms are doing well. What about the third? Nintendo. They have a game, multiplat, but only available on Nintendo platforms, Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It's quite literally the best open world game ever created, and turning straight men gay for Nu-Link. It's great.

And Horizon came out, which is great. It is. Got a AAAE, so yeah, damn.

But Xbox One? Nothing. Hell, even the Scorpio looks tame. Yeah, great, we have a stronger console, but it doesn't have any games. The likes of Gears of War, Recore, and Halo have been terrribly disappointing (again, not me, gamespot). I did a questionnaire at work, and most people agreed Xbox One is great, because it's a number short of being zero. And it is. So, Playstation peeps, PC peeps, and Nintendo peeps are having fun. But Xbox is pulling itself apart by offering nothing.

What can Microsoft do? And cancelling games doesn't count. Not gay, btw.

You actually are gonna talk about GS scores as validation for whats worth playing?

lol

Haters here hate but Halo Wars 2 is a good game.

Its only the second week of March and MS has released FH3, Gears 4, DR4 and HW2 since Q4. Thats four AAA games in 5 months.

Not really seeing how thats some huge drought just because PS4 brought out a couple of games finally. And Zelda is a flagship title for a new console thats pretty much better than everything including all the PS4 titles you listed which was to be expected.

Post seems more like its confusing personal tastes with lack of games, since you throw out a bunch of titles like Nier, GR2, HZD, Bloody Boobs and Skyrim games that I personally have no interest in.

Heres the pins from my Xbox desktop:

I'm not really feeling your pain. I have more games than I have time to play. Just trying to do my dailies in the PvP games I play takes up a couple hours.

I can understand if your tastes dont match mine but cmon man if you cant find something worth playing in that screen I dunno what to tell you.

Play your PS4 or Switch and be happy maybe?

I agree Xbox One is unremarkable and Scorpio might be too niche, Ms needs good games more than anything.

Wow, what a rubbish thread.

Microsoft is going scorpio

im going breath of the wild horizon zero dawn

oflow slow

@ConanTheStoner: nah I just think all this sky is falling stuff is mostly BS. I get you dont really care for Xbox either and thats cool. Just saying. And GS is gonna GS regarding Xbox so meh.

oflow still slow

Dude, just read the OP and tell me if you think he's being serious for even a second lol.

Another Halo or Gears won't make a difference to me. I owned a 360 and I enjoyed it but after that MS has done nothing that makes me want to buy their systems. Tbh If Nintendo can sort the switch issues I'd buy that over Scorpio because Nintendo has unique games as for everthing else PS4.

@ConanTheStoner: I'll let you tell it.

As usual, with Xbox having the best games, and now having the most powerful console in the world this fall, and a great line up of 2017 exclusives, it's another win win for gamers.

Luckily there is always 2018 maybe for the KillzoneGranturismoUnchartedStation 4.

Another fanboy hit piece how original. Fanboys the real destruction to gaming.!

2017 is shaping up to be a great year for all platforms in my opinion.

2017 would be less exciting without Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3, and Cuphead, plus the launch of the most powerful console ever, so no, I don't think Xbox is putting a damper on 2017; I think Xbox has some great contributions for 2017 coming up.

Again just how long do you so called gamers play games for? A ton of games just dropped from October till now! I know not everything is gonna cater to everyone but damn. I'm still playing Mortal Kombat X and Killer Instinct waiting for Injustice. COD/Battlefield 1/R6:Siege, and Overwatch pretty much has my FPS fix on lock down.

Why are people losing their minds? Horizon? Zelda? Ew no thank you. Give me Twisted Metal and Mario or Punch Out then PS4 and Switch will have my attention?

Phantom Dust, Voodoo Vince Remastered, Sea of Thieves, etc. multiplats which all control better on the Xbox One...

There is more than enough already to feed legions of diverse gamer types.

I use my X1 almost daily. From a system wars perspective, it doesn't look too great. As a consumer, I am quite happy. I have a pretty disturbing backlog for my X1 (and PS4 and Steam....) regardless of the "mediocre" first three months of 2017. There are a lot of questions that need answering about the Scorpio and the overall direction of the X1 for the year and forward, but I am happy.

Oh look. Another cow thread bitching about something. We need more of those cause we havent had one for about 5 minutes

LOL pretend a lem cow.. you're as bad as NathanDrake

Anyways.. thanks to GWG/EA Access my game log exceeds 100 games.. each month i also get 4 free games with GWG (all 360 games are BC)

+ EA access + the new sub coming up.. I have too many games and so little time.

don't give a shit for weabo shit on PS

Look at all the early replies from lems acting like henchmen of a dictator. "My beautiful subpar xbox can do no wrong"

That is why you will continue to make bad investments and let MS screw you over.

I owned PS3 at start of last gen and admitted when it sucked. Idk whats up with these "our beloved leader" type lems. Keep lying to yourselves lol, TC is right.

Excellent thread!!!

Not the only one apparently

@oflow: Capcom released DR4, not Microsoft

Outside of Forza the Xbox brand has no good games left. Everyone knows it.

No because Nier and Nioh are Japanese titles and we know why they review well on Sites like Gamespot.

And what are you on about thought we had a thread recently asking gamers on here do they turn on their xbox one. The Majority said yes.

If you listen to just one reviewer on Gamespot what makes a good game you must lead a sad life.

Gears 4 flopped hey is that why VGcharts has them at nearly 3 million sales worldwide- retail only. It don't include PC and xbox one digital sales. Keep telling yourself xbox one games flop.

Goddamn I miss lounge freedomfreak

Worst console I've owned as far as a secondary machine.

I have way more games than time. It's kind of overwhelming honestly.

I've not really had that problem in the past.

I blame the increase in live/plus games. Like the offerings or not from those programs they definitely are increasing gaming libraries exponentially.

If a member to either or both of these programs doesn't have more games to play than time it's shocking.

@FLOPPAGE_50:

I know this isn't a serious thread but I had similar thoughts in the online/"free" game offerings plus programs out there.

Monthly (roughly on price)

EA access - $2.5-$5

PSnow - $8.25-$20

MS sub service -$10

Live GWG - $5 (cheaper with sales)

Psplus -$5 (cheaper with sales)

Pretty crazy for the above monthly cost you can have access to HUNDREDS of games. Lol.

I will never understand why everyone hates the Xbox One on here.

Not hating, just disappointing how it turn out to be and I can understand why.

First world problem for everyone. Except Me :)

The majority of the haters never owned an xbox one so they just listen and follow what other Playstation fanboys say.

@davillain-: I'm not disappointed, I love my Xbox One. Everyone is acting like the X1 is so awful just because PS4 has been getting great games this year, and X1 has had a dry year so far. Does games from past years stop existing? Is this year done yet? I just think people are hating for no reason. And yes I'm aware TC wasn't serious, I'm just talking about the people on these forums in general.

Lol. ? Lems are so salty, man.

The xbone is an irrelevant piece of crap and everyone but the most hardcore lems here agree.

Look at the lems here defending mediocrity as if people were insulting their mothers. M$ failure is also the fault of having such a complacent audience that loves their plastic wife more than they love gaming.

26 million + people bought the xbox one i guess we are all stupid and you are not? And you continue to ignore the majority of people who own an xbox one are happy with the games they got so far.

I bet you any money your a anti-social hermit who just likes to hate for no reason?

@loe12k: 26 million bought the machine that doesn't mean 26 million like it. There has been many xbone owners that are disappointed by the xbone. Go into any xbone forum and you'll find threads of disappointed users. Lemmings on the other hand are brainless M$ followers who are happy with any crap M$ gives them and they keep getting fooled by them.

What xbox forum? N4G, IGN, Neogaf are all Playstation dominated sites. Xbox one reddit is the closest thing you find that can be considered an xbox forum.

No dude xbox fans like multiplayer games and its the reason they bought xbox. If Sony PS4 had lot of multiplayer titles and better ones then xbox i would have bought a PS4 the day it launched.

I'm no slave to a corporation i bought the console that appealed more to my tastes right now.

Unlike you i don't hate the PS4. I can appreciate a good looking game like uncharted 4, bloodbourne. Even Horizon looks like a good game even i don't think its a perfect game.

@primorandomguy:

"I will never understand why everyone hates the Xbox One on here."

That's the one thing that isn't exclusive to any console on gaming forums.

Yep.

That was also embarrassing.

Any thread from Cow trolls are typically rubbish.

Your comments are irrelevant piece of crap. I think everyone on here can agree with that. You say "look at lems defending" when I can say, "Look at the biased Cow troll bashing something he doesn't own and never played." You'll defend everything Sony, even that piece of garbage No Man's Sky and the shitty PSNow service. You're one of the biggest hypocrites on here that don't know what to shut the f$%# up. Yak..yak..yak..yak.. Everything coming out of your mouth is useless garbage.

Yes Halo Wars 2 is a good game,just not better than the tons of games the PS4 is getting.

Yeah be a dishonest lemmings 5 games in 5 months,4 of those games are from 2016,1 is from this year,hell Forza horizon 3 is 6 months old not 5.

Then how you use Dead Rising 4 which is a freaking 72% game on meta yet you DARE like a blind fanboy claim that the PS4 got a couple of games finally,let see how your argument really hold.

The Last Guardian 82%

Steins Gate 0 -81%

World of Final Fantasy 77%

Dragon quest builders 83%

Thumper 84%

Nobunagas Amabition 74%

Some of the games that release since september 2016 there are more.

So the PS4 was also getting games before this year started but after the year started it has get even more,and higher rated,while the xbox one in the last 3+ months only got Halo Wars 2.

So hiding in 2016 games is a joke the PS4 got games on the end of 2016 as well and still getting tons of games,and more are coming P5,MLB,Drawn to death coming really soon.

Reality is the xbox one line up is weak and the PS4 is smocking it every time a lemming try to act as if the xbox one was getting games all 2016 long and the PS4 doesn't is really a dishonest fanboy,you named Dead Rising 4 i should lower the standards and name every PS4 game released since september with 72% or more,after all if it is good for the xbox one it most be good for the PS4.

VGcharts... Ultra lol

@jg4xchamp: my PS4 is the worst console I've owned and is also a secondary machine

PS3 and ps2 shits all over it

"Control better on Xbox One"

Nope.

Sea of Thieves, Phantom Dust, etc etc are going to be on pc.

Xbox one has halo 5, sunset overdrive, and 3rd party only.

Very true.
