The only thing Xbox got going for it is BC.

Coming from a guy that owns the One X and all the other consoles I think the X is great. It got BC and disc based too. Not only that it is enhanced and titles such as NGB and KOTOR are brought new life. The fact that red dead got similar treatment felt like I was given a remaster for FREE. Aside from that, a tumbleweed is a good analogy for games in terms of exclusives. Which is a shame as I prefer to play everything on X because of achievements preferences, controllers and the one X power...

I feel sick inside when I see Phil spend time congratulating Sony awesome exclusives instead of spending his valuable time to topping them by creating exclusives on their own. IT's like he think praising them that Sony will feel spry for them and make games like Horizon and GoW multiplat on X.

WTF? Like you know what the hell is really going down at Microsoft. Those congratulations tweets take 20 seconds. I feel sick inside when people keep saying crap like this.

What I find all of this amusing is that you used to be a Cow who like PS4 and shits on Xbox One during the early days this gen started and now you flip the switch all of a sudden? Are you not related to NathanDrakeSwag by any chance?

Games Pass is a great option for users, though I still have reservations that it’s a salient strategy at this stage.

Also it’s nice to have the option to change your gamertag FFS.

LOL @ people that think MS will invest heavily in gaming or first party any time soon. MS has much bigger fish to fry now than try to compete with Sony or in gaming in general. They are feeling pressure on their bread and butter by other companies like Apple, Amazon and Google and they will divert all resources to secure that. Lems should continue to expect these shitty first party offerings as Xbox will probably only focus on small investments like BC, GaaS etc. for some time.

Xbox doesn't have backwards compatibility. I still find it hilarious how people call it that.

What would you call it then because it's natively playing games from prior console generations without touching or porting game code?

Why do people honestly feel like they have to be married to a specific corporation? Just sell your pos xbone and get a PS4. PS4 = amazing exclusives and vr, xbone = 10-15 year old games on the most powerful hardware.

Agreed, good for someone like me that missed out on a lot of old games though.

The last 5 games I bought for Xbox One are:

Portal 2

Fallout New Vegas

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (og)

and Cuphead.

File under: the problem with consoles. TC basically made the case against them, saying that MS has been more innovative and consumer-friendly this generation, but they're still losing because they were less successful at artificially restricting their competition than Sony. You take away exclusives and what do you get? a machine that no one wants. That's why exclusives suck. They force you into buying something you don't want just to be able to buy something you do want.

While I love how Microsoft has been doing backwards compatibility for the Xbox One there are other reasons why the Xbox One is worth it for me.

I follow the product I like and of course that changes from time to time. Critiquing is a crime now?

Below is interesting me from what I've seen. MS has to do something big at E3 fable 4 needs to be shown off.

Not at all Mr. Legend002.

Technically, you're right. It's not backwards compatability in the strictest sense, it's just emulation. Since the box doesn't play games natively. As in. stick in a disc and play. But, it's kind of splitting hairs in a way,

Lol, well said. What a stupid thing to say.

I noticed your post title got cut off. The only thing xbox has is backwards compatibility, the strongest hardware, the best controller, the best online service, digital games you don't have to rebuy every generation, and plenty of games you can't play on any other console. I hate when posts get cutoff. You're welcome for fixing it for you.

Well, I'm not exactly sure what I would call it, but it sure as hell isn't backwards compatibility. A PS2 is backwards compatible with PS1. A PS3 fat is backwards compatible with a PS2 and PS1. PC's (for the most part) are backward compatible. Downloading a game onto your hard drive from a selected list of games, having a disc check, and mandatory online install, is not backwards compatible. They may have pulled some strings in order for it to be possible, but it's an emulation and the disc serves as nothing more than a license. yes, essentially they come to the same means (playing an older gen game on a current console), but no, they are not the same thing... far from it in fact. They should have different names... they are not the same thing. You don't call a dog and cat the same thing even though both are animals.. hell, you don't even call a horse and a pony the same thing.... but why? Simple, they aren't the same thing. All I'm saying is that it needs to be properly named, because it sure as hell isn't BC. I can't go out tomorrow and start up a new online business and call it Ebay. MS calls it BC as a selling point and as something that people will understand, while in actuality that is far from the truth. I guarantee you that more than one person has bought an Xbox with this "BC" in mind, and then found out the hard way that just simply isn't the case. Hilarious how so many people despise and fight against drm, but then side with MS's lies about BC...lol.

Really they don't have to show anything off. Microsoft is already behind so I'm willing to wait for them to get it right. Here is a list of games I am excited for

Halo 6

State of Decay 2

Crackdown 3

Ashen

The Last Night

Ori and the Will of Wisps

I am in no way trying to crap on the PS4 as it is a great console but there are games on the way from Microsoft.

The only time I got excited from a game trailer was Starcraft 2.
