The Xbox One Problem

I do, trust me I do LOL.

If it's 2am and the lights come on in the club, I'll take home a 4/10. Guess that's why I love shovelware so much, if you get my drift

lol nice

Oh, I get your drift ;)

All the positive review scores in the world can't change that the ps4's controller is a piece of shit.

It's a lot better than the DS3 though.

Incorrect. Thumbsticks fall apart so fast, and the battery life abysmal.

No issues with thumbsticks here what so ever. But I agree, battery life is complete garbage.

All I know is that next to nothing on the X1 interests me.

Second Son is my favorite exclusive.

And the PS4 is a great system. I don't know how it was before I got here bc I wasn't here for long, but what I do remember is lems playing the score game. Now that the tables have turned however slightly or largely....it's now "scores don't matter".

And for the sake of not looking like a cow that's the way it should have always been.

Oh, this thread is a FANBOY FUELED OPINION PIECE.

By a MOD, NO LESS.



Oh... it's THAT Mod.

*flush*

@DressYouUp: y u mad tho

Cow :)

Incorrect. They don't fall apart and the rubber coming off is not a vast problem even then...you can get thumbstick covers (which actually help if you have bigger fingers and/or hands) for less than $5.

Dont blow a minor problem out of proportion.

YOU idiots!!!

YOU made me, remember? You dropped me in that batch of fanboy label....that wasn't easy to get over.

And don't think I didnt try.....

More hugs from me to you :)

Come on batbrain....I say you made me you gotta say you hug me first....

I mean how childish can you get?

You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would ya? Huh?

I'm not tho, laughing at this pathetic attempt to shade a piece of plastic.

Xbox isn't doing well because their games are down 10 Metacritic points?

Talk about splitting hairs.

@Shewgenja: lol I musta touched a nerve . Basically what I was implying was ps4 gamers seem to be obessed with high scoring games and will only play high scoring ones. Proof is on this sw

Stories aren't great, but the gameplay is solid, and the online multiplayer is varied and consistently entertaining due to solid controls and mechanics.

Yep its time to turn the Xbox console into a glorified PC.

I would also like to say the PS4 gets a little too much credit. Yes its got some amazing games that aren't on X1- TLOU Remaster, FFX Remaster, Bloodborne, hopefully Rachet and Clank and Uncharted 4 are really solid. But its had its fair share of flops and lulls as well.

LOL! That is funny. I would never!

We all know the only thing the PS4 has going for it is mutiplats which are clearly better on the PS4. Bloodborne and Until Dawn so far are the only decent-awesome exclusive it has (which will change after May when it has Uncharted 4 and R&C). I'll take QB, Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5 over Knack, The Order 1886, Killzone ect ect ect ect.

Both systems are struggling to find decent exclusives while the Wii U is pretty much dead but some how manages to produce a few exclusives a year, or at least the past two years.

It's not everybody. It's weird. I have friends that have had theres since launch and no problems. I have 3, and one of them is a month old and was probably used 4-5 times and the thumbsticks are peeling. It is on the White controller. A buddy has a blue on and all the buttons, X, O, Triangle, Square died on him in a few weeks. He used it pretty heavily and was rough on it. I'm wondering if it's a QC issue with the newer ones that are different colors? Who knows.

I mentioned this before and my group has been so busy with other things we never got around to it. We found the manufacturer that makes the 1,000 MAH batteries for the DS4 and bought 2,000 MAH variants that will work with the controller. When we finally do get them installed and test them out, i'll be sure to make a thread on it.

Both sides have said that. Until MGS4 in 2008 and even after for some games some cows were saying the same thing about games last gen. This is the nature of things on SW where fanboys argue over entertainment as if any of it can be proven right/wrong to like something.

Love the 1989 Batman stuff dude LOL

The biggest problem with Xbox One is Microsoft. They have no idea how to handle a game studios. PS2 was weaker than Xbox original but it sold more because of games that were available on that platform and because people trusted Sony to deliver.

Microsoft on other hand is too busy destroying IPs. First they killed Alan Wake by making poor choices, then they ruined Rare and other devs by forcing them to make Kinect and other casual trash. Now same will happen with QB because Xbox One is selling poorly due to lack of compelling software, so I expect the game to under perform. The game will also sell poorly on PC due to one restriction after another. Once again, Remedy's hard work won't pay off.

The fact is, Microsoft have no idea about gaming and I think Xbox 360 was just their good luck. I didn't believe that before but in recent years after seeing wastage of resources in crappy projects like Kinect, COD DLCs and other trash and prevention of games like Freelancer on digital distribution platforms, I think they don't know what gamers want, and how they should be treated.

MS needs to bring back Mechwarrior.

Like, yesterday.

And Midtown Madness

and Crimson Skies!

Oh no you didn't. Ugh, yes...we need that one too.

Here's the thing though, MS really doesn't even know what the Xbox One should be, they didn't figure that out since the reveal back in 2013. I for one personally been somewhat okay with Xbox One but the fact the matter is, MS is still relaying on Halo to carry the weight of Xbox brand and it's holding MS back from making newer IP's despite we they have Scalebound, Quantum Break, Sea of Thieves and to name a few new IP's. My issue with MS since 2013 reveal was that they didn't learn shit from last-gen what made the Xbox 360 so special, they didn't learn the mistakes what Sony did with PS3 when MS overprice Xbox One at launch, a weak console for an overprice at that. Didn't even listen to fans that Kinect wasn't the future and still made it anyway as mandatory for the damn console. In truth, MS really is hurting itself, they just don't know it yet and not only that, they still want to support there overused franchise games and it's the reason why PS4 is doing well, they have lots of exclusive games that you cannot play anywhere else.

But however for me, has Xbox One been good to me? I think so, just not as good as I had butt loads of fun with the 360. The only good X1 exclusive game I enjoy playing is Rare Replay and that's basically it. So with that, if Nintendo can WOW me on there NX and I see what I love, I'll trade my Xbox One for a NX since I been using windows 10 for almost a year and I'll just play MS games on my PC, no point in keeping my Xbox One unless your a Halo/Gears of War fan and I'm burn out from those games.

I think what hurt the Xbone most was it's initial reveals and MS's initial plans with the console, and how badly that pissed off gamers. Didn't help when E32014 came around and Sony completely spanked MS with that 400$ price tag.

granted, while the XBone does have a good library of games, it could do better on the exclusive front too. I enjoyed Halo 5 and Rare Replay Collection, but everything else I've enjoyed on the system has been third party/indie stuff.

Man that was a fun game.

Your argument evaluates to the metacritic score for this generation's games, and guess what ... NyaDc already proved that there's a CBS/Sony conspiracy that prevents any Xbox game from scoring well there ... so your entire point has been made invalid!

Only on CowSpot do the mods get to make troll threads like this one.

@Xdrone: lol "proved"

Good one

People need to stop caring about review scores.

Agreed. And making stupid threads. Next up, The Playstation 4 problem. At least they get hits and keep the forum in full rage mode.

"proved"

Yes at least you have the gust to admit it..lol

That doesn't prove is better that is your biased opinion,and you are a lemming so again the only way you can claim FACTUALLY that halo is better is scores.

Bullshit..hahahahaa You people double standard this gen is so pathetic is not even funny,and comes from always the same lemmings,who claim mostly to not be lemmings.. ahahahaa

So while you try to do a balancing act on a extremely fine and oiled cable,all crap which you lemmings bragged about last gen now this gen don't matter.

Power.

For 2 generations on a row lemmings bragged about graphics and power,countless threads about the 360 version having a few more frames,or few more pixels,lemmings making a parade because GTA4 was 720p on xbox one and 640p on PS3,now they don't even see a damn difference even on extreme cases like 720p vs 1080p.

Sales.

Last gen the tune was the xbox 360 outselling the PS3,oh only on US by the way which lemmings consistently try to imply was the only important market because it was the biggest,endless threads about NPD being won by the 360,oh the 36 months winning streak remember all that crap.?

Score.

Last gen and the gen before that to,Halo and Forza from the xbox days hyped to the moon for being high rated,last gen oh brother last gen the threads were endless about how superior the xbox 360 line up was based on nothing but scores,How gears was great and Resistance was meh because well it score 86 vs Gears superior 94%,last gen a freaking 8 was nothing,Resistance Infamous,ratchet,warhawk,first uncharted all downplay because if it wasn't 9 it wasn't good enough.

Still to this day Uncharted 1 still see average,or not good a damn game with a 88 score..lol

Now this gen even 78 is great.

Is not me it is you people the problem and your constant double edge arguments the problem,i am sure that if Halo,forza and gears would have score 93 or 94 this gen the tune would be different now.

lol Blackace you really are epic..lol

No you can't position a platform in that form,the reality is the PS4 has more games and higher rated ones,which people do see because well most aren't blind.

No the PS3 was $600 arrived 1 year late,and had few games vs a more established consoles,with good games,see what i just told cainetao is 100% true look at how you claim that even that the PS3 started getting games late in its life it sill loss to the 360 each month.

Where did the PS3 loss.? Oh yeah only US and UK world wide PS3 > xbox 360 each month since it launched even at $600,is this sad notion that only US matter and fu** the rest of the world which was one of MS biggest problems,you don't win with US alone and the 360 in this very moment is 3rd on last gen race the PS3 pass it,even with a year late and a horrible starting price.,by 2006 the PS3 had a very high rated game MGS4,that without the counting tons of other games like Uncharted,Motorstorm,warhawk,Ratchet,and many other that weren't quite 9 but were 80+.

No that is not what is currently happening the PS4 has some 200 games over the xbox one 200 man,and both launched a damn week from each other,how you grow a 200 game gap in just 2+ years.?

That is the reality some of you wish to ignore i tell you this,you can close your eyes and pretend the PS4 has nothing,fact is that is has more than 200 games over the xbox one,it has higher rated games to and has at least 1 critically acclaim and high rated exclusive,something the xbox one still lack 2+ years into its life cycle the xbox 360 in this time frame had more than 6 games rated 9 or better,the xbox one has non because even a remake of mostly 9 games MS screw up and ended with 85 Halo MCC.

The bad press MS got is deserved they LIE to every one and try to sugar coat some very anti consumer policies,those policies were leaked,just like the weak specs,if MS instead of hiding and denying things telling people to not believe what they read online,would have invested that energy coming clean about everything hell even if they change it,because people demanded to,it would have being better.

Fact is MS deny for months what was being leaked only to half admit it,then sugar coat it and try to convince every one it was good for them.

And a good laugh was had by all.

@dynamitecop: It was an exclusive not made by Nintendo so sheep didn't buy it. Also too mature for the man-children.

Only people who think it has a problem already hate it already and spend all their time on NeoGAF, which is a Sony fanboy / Microsoft hating circle jerk community. And what @dynamitecop said, problem is people making threads like these who don't hide they have strong existing bias against it already.

No i believe people like you and him are hypocrites who for generations liked scores and now they don't like them.

Now because the shitty xbox one is getting short end of the stick score are not valid.

Let me ask you this what can you use to determine the xbox one has better games than the PS4 FACTUALLY if it isn't score.

Don't freaking tell me you biased ass opinion because that one is not better than mine or any cow,but but but i have both platforms and i play all and i can say the xbox one is better,again bullshit i did own a PS3 and a 360 since day 1 and that wasn't how it worked,the 360 got a high score game vs a PS3 one and that score would be use as sword and shield.

GT vs Forza.

Uncharted 1 vs Gears

Resistance vs Gears.

Halo vs Resistance.

You name it that is how it worked until the xbox one failed to deliver this gen,i remember how on launch fanboys here were holding tied to gamespot Forza 5 score because it was 9 here but in meta it was below 80.

Let me give you an example of why you people are a joke and how the goal post is moved.

mems_1224

well, resistance is garbage.

When 86 is on a PS game.

When 86 is on a xbox game...lol

If the PS game get a lower than expected score is because it is bad,if an xbox game get a lower than expected score is because no name sites score it low...

This is why i consider you lemmings a joke @cainetao11 and that dude you quoted is even a bigger hypocrite,when a game is on PS4 and PC is not exclusive as you can get it on PC and PC is another console,when the game is on xbox one and PC is exclusive because he can only get it on 1 console the xbox one since the game is not on PS4 and PC is not a console vs the xbox one..hahahaa

Or worse like yesterday were he called me retarded but got offended when i called him chump..lol

None of the things said hold any substance especially when the metagame has been dead for awhile now. If the metagame wasn't dead then these "games not meeting hype" opinion pieces would hold more weight. Even with the dead metagame the Xbox One still have better racing and first person shooter exclusives while the PlayStation still does not have any defining games from those genres for over a decade now. Last time Sony had anything close was in the PS2 days. That should speak volumes that they've also been inconsistent in bringing quality titles but even longer. Also as far as I know, third party developers are still making games for the Xbox One as the console itself have more features that the PS4 lacks. The PS4 lacks external hard drive support for games, has limited 2TB maxed out internal hard drive upgrade, inferior camera, and no standard backward compatibility. No console is perfect and it just comes down to preference. Some people here make it seem that the PS4 is the only gaming system that's needed and the PS4 is perfect. Nope, far from it. The PS4 is lacking so much that it looks like they're planning for it to be upgraded in form of the PS4K. I bet what's next is that the focus will shift onto PS4K being so perfect while the old outdated PS4 will be forgotten. #GreatmessAwaits

yup and wouldn't Freelancer kick some ass on X1???

Let me hear a HELL YEAHHHHH

awwwwwwww yeahhhhhh

Umm NO.....he was saying and he meant XBOX ONE ONLY ! The PS4 is kicking ass left and right, nothing wrong with Sony's box and for that matter All Wii-U 1st party games blow away any Xbox One exclusives also in my opinion.

LOL he loves to tell people what they like is irrelevant. If you like the X1 then you don't represent 99% of the consumers or gamers out there like Playstation fans do represent 99% of gamers and fans LOL. Dude has no concept about people's likes and taste and with there preference being completely relevant to them.

The guy believes Metacritic scores are factual or that they represent 99% of gamers out there when all they represent is a weighted avg of some reviewers out there. That reality must go by that and should you like a game, say like Knack or Ryse which didn't score above 60 on Meta, than you just like bad games. He doesn't understand the real fact is all entertainment is subjective. He probably thinks Whatever wins Album or Best Picture of the year is the best that year.

No i believe people like you and him are hypocrites who for generations liked scores and now they don't like them.

No it's not. But, there's always one a-hole site that gives Halo games 4/10, 6/10, etc.

I never said Resistance was bad because it got an 86.
