You're making fun of me and I didn't do anything to you. Why are you guys ( like @lostrib@FoxbatAlpha) always picking on me?

It's not my fault Microsoft's last choice in console...why don't you meme-bomb Phil Spencer's twitter page...I'm really getting pissed.

Damn it, aren't any of you stupid mods around to do anything!?

I can't even sneeze on this forum without those stupid memes. I do not want to become synonymous with these $%%$%^ing memes all the time. I just want a good discussion about gaming. This is unfair to me. I've only spoken games since being on SW.

LOL good point. He's the only dual fanboy on here. He went hard for Halo back in the day calling out all Sony fanboys and just a few months later, he's become what he clowned.

But Forza is amazing!

Forza 6 looks just plain awful.

Have you played it?

I saw a comparison video that someone linked for PC/DC/F6...and it looks like shit by itself let alone compared to the other 2.

And don't do the "But you haven't played it"....b/c ppl use screens and videos every day on these boards to go by.

I just watched this comparison video, and honestly, the other two didn't look much more impressive.

Drive Club had the best rain and cars, but at 30fps it was a given. The backgrounds didn't look great.

Project Cars (PS4) had nice cars and better rain than FM 6, but the track looked a touch bland.

FM6 had a little more balance between the cars and the track, so while the cars don't look Drive Club good, the track doesn't look too bad either at 60fps. Every Forza Motor Sport game has tried for this balance in graphics across the screen.

@HalcyonScarlet: Thats the comparison video I was talking about. I, personally, thought that F6 didn't look nearly as good when compared.

But the other videos that, I forget his name, linked showed F6 in better light....so to speak, and it, in fact, doesn't look that bad.

But in that video....for whatever reason....it's doesn't look very good.

Grudges or whatever against XStache aside, what he says has some merit to me. One of the main reasons the PS3 drew me away from 360 as my main console was the diversity in it's library, and the trend seems to be continuing through this gen as well, although I think Phil Spencer will rectify this to some degree for the Xbox brand.

I fail to see the big issue here. Some of XB1's exclusives:

  • Halo (FPS)
  • Gears, Quantum Break (TPS)
  • Fable (RPG)
  • Forza (Racing)
  • Killer Instinct (Fighting)
  • Crackdown (Open world TPS)

I fail to see how it's missing so much. Granted, the XB1 has fewer exclusives than Sony or Nintendo, but it's not like there are gaping holes in it's lineup.

No offense, but I see four shooters, one rpg(their only one, really), a fighter, & a racer, of which they've done multiple spin-off already.

Not much diversity if you want to be honest. MS has to find a way to assuage the concerns of diversity, it's one of the many reasons the xbox brand continues to do so poorly in comparison to Playstation.

My dear, how about Sea of Thieves?

This is something I've long complained about with MS. If something doesn't sell gangbusters right away they dump it. Profitable ain't good enough, a game has gotta be a hit. They've actually tried quite a few genres over the years but most of them get scrapped pretty quickly.

Because the xbox is at its core a console that only tries to appeal to the mainstream casual audience. There are very few genres that actually appeal to this crowd and because of that there is very little variety.

It's MS's fault, not the audience. For example, Japanese RPGs are not as popular on Xbox as Playstation. But how many JRPGs are on Xbox vs Playstation? I would argue Playstation has more. So why would JRPGs be as popular on Xbox when there aren't as many of them? MS looked to remedy that but only in half-assed fashion as is their m.o. They published Lost Odyssey for Xbox 360 and then when it failed to sell 390 gzillion copies right out of the gate they told Sakaguchi to get the hell out of their building as MS is prone to do to those that make good games but fail to sell in a similar way to Halo. And speaking of Halo that was their big early success. So right away MS captured the shooter audience. But they haven't done the work that needs to be done to get other audiences on board the way Sony has. And a lot of these other audiences are niche, titles in these other genres are probably not gonna push several million units each even when done well. But having those audiences on your side is still important. MS just won't do what needs to be done to get them. You need to publish many different exclusives in many genres. If they don't all sell gangbusters so what ... look at them as an investment in your platform diversity. Don't give up on certain genres immediately, stick with it. Do it long enough and eventually those other audiences will come. Sony does this, MS doesn't ... hence why Xbox has become known as the dudebro platform.

Have you ever even played Ryse? I don't know why you're implying it's a movie game...

They released a Gran Turismo on the PS4? Where have I been?

They haven't released an Uncharted yet either. Nor a Gears of War or Halo game on the XB1. I was speaking in terms of what games the platforms have and WILL HAVE as "big exclusives". Anyone reading my post should have easily discerned that.
