I try to stay away from my personal views on it, but it's pretty clear to anyone being honest with themselves that Xbox shat the bed this entire gen in their first party output, especially when compared to Sony WWS. I mean, come on... 2- You didn't present any correct rebuttal to my point, you moved the goalposts. Your rebuttal was "maybe they'll do better in the future". Great, so my point stands then. 3- Again, quantity does not equate to quality, and this was the crux of the entire argument. Obviously with more studios they will deliver more content, not necessarily better content. What's there to argue here? And they definitely haven't delivered great quality during this entire gen, when compared to their main competitors. 4- I don't really see any double standard. You're trying to compare absolute crap games with GTS? There's plenty of reasons to be disappointed with Polyphony in the last gens, but quality is not it. We're talking about 3 first party Xbox games with plenty of development time (at 2 of those being AAA titles), all of them scoring on the 60's on metacritic. Not to mention the huge support that has been given to GT Sport since deployment, the game is gigantic by now. So yeah, better think again. |
Views are views, depending what site you are on or where you live etc, they will offer different opinions for GOTY. Anyway I don't follow GOTY and could care less which games win GOTY because what I like doesn't need to win awards or have others like it. Maybe you need games to be in these so called categories to justify your purchases, but not for me.
You cannot claim what's quality on projects you know nothing about. You have no idea what quality these new studios will bring. We definitely know that quantity has been increase which was the main issue this gen for Xbox not quality apart from you nit-picking the mid ranged critic games.. funny story is all companies have them like I mentioned above.

^ Is that right? And how is GTS a quality game while Sea of Thieves is a crap game? Are you basing this off Metacritic? Please explain the quality difference between GTS and SOTs? I am very curious to know how you rate this. Heck if you are basing this off Metacritic than I wouldn't be hanging your hat on a 75/100 score. Would you like me to mention all the Xbox games that received a higher score than GTS? Are you going to say those games are light years ahead of GTS in quality which will than put you in a spot of claiming Xbox has quality games because you believe GTS is.
You are the one picking and choosing games like a Indy made Zombie game or a game that had a development disaster but for you to say these are absolute crap games is a poor argument. Want to explain to me why they are crap? Have you played them to make that call? No Man Sky was critically attacked at a 71 at launch and now sits on a 83 with its latest patches and expansion pacs etc. GTS and SOTs and State of Decay 2 are not the same games at launch.
