Forums - Microsoft Discussion - leaving MS consoles after ten+ years

So what you're saying is that "owning" one automatically gives it a free pass from scrutiny and standards. That's called bias. Presumably unlike you, I know when to admit I made a poor choice in a console - that's why I sold my Wii three months after owning it and threw my Dreamcast into the garbage.

We have ourselves a badass over here.
Poor Dreamcast. It didn't even see it coming.

I wish I was a bad ass, I certainly didn't feel like one when I owned a Wii. And I threw my Dreamcast away after owning it for a couple years. After I got my fill of Dead or Alive 2 and Soul Calibur it just collected dust - and more dust.

 

If throwing a console away is an expression flexing to you, then you must be young or..well...dumb I guess. People throw peripherals away all the time bromosexual.

I find myself in the same boat, a majority of my games have been on x360 and i loved the original xbox. it just sucks, but i will not bend on this.
one main reason is where i live, its hurricane season, the generator doesnt make the internet work. might lose power tonight from the tropical storm, the grounds wet, trees will be falling allover the place, so if power did go out and say it was worse than anyone expected and it was days with no power and net which has happened, i would have a whole weekend with a game system i couldnt even play because it hasnt checked in. not to mention a full blown hurricane it could be weeks. this isnt everyones problem, i understand that. but its big enough for me not invest in something like that. plus the gamefly and used game thing is a complete turn off even more, and the kinect tax , i dont even want it, i dont use the one i have.

these are not fanboy reasons or trolling or anything like that, its a real life situation and it is not something that would be in my best interest in my opinion.

I didnt leave xbox, xbox left me.

Before Phil... this was me.

After Phil... I love the BC, games with gold, and I did buy an one, then a one x. But it did not happen until Phil got shit back on track. This is quite humbling to read so long after the fact, I guess for me they did a great job at doing things to get me back in the xbox system.

Nice, the BC has been rocking. the all time best is Saints Row 2 really hoping it makes the cut eventually. also hoping for the saboteur, and crackdown series

I have good news for you then. Crackdown just became backwards compatible yesterday.

I'm pretty sure Crackdown 2 will be added soon then also.

See that is your problem right there you missed out on a ton of great games if you only played DOA 2 and Soul Calibur on your Dreamcast.  It had tons of other games that where just as good or better then those two games like Crazy Taxi, Crazy Taxi 2, NBA 2K, NBA 2K1, NBA 2K2, Sega Bass Fishing, Powerstone, Powerstone 2, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Shenmue 2, Sega GT, Project Justice, Virtua Tennis, Virtual Tennis 2, NFL 2K, NFL 2K1, NFL 2K2.

But the multilpayer was great, got tons of additions and micro transactions are totally optional. You don't need them at all if you don't play Warzone.

I loved the improved movement system and 60fps. - But that's where it stops for me.

I didn't like the lack of map variety, especially in Warzone.
Standard Halo-features like File Sharing, Split Screen, Forge, LAN, limited game modes (I.E. No oddball, infection, king of the hill, assault and so on.) were missing on release.
Sure they got added in later, but by the time they were added? I was bored of Halo 5 and moved on to other more content-rich games like Fallout 4.

As for Micro Transactions. - They add absolutely nothing to the game. Nothing at all.
Sure you don't "need" them, but if you were to play Warzone, those who have the best unlocks typically have a sizable advantage, that's not okay.
Micro-transactions are shit, plain and simple.

For me Halo 3 had the best System, weapons, power-ups and vehicles were strewn around the map, thus... There was strategic importance in getting to certain areas and trying to retain control of said areas. It added strategy to the gameplay, later iterations of Halo looses all of that.

Graphicswise it's a 60fps game, though not the shiniest one. I really hope they don't go back to the 30fps of older Halos.

Many elements in the game do not operate at 60fps though, which makes it look extremely jarring.
For example... Spartans in the far distance will have their sprites updated at 10-15fps, many texture animations also update at 15fps.

I agree that having 60fps is a requirement going forward... I am a PC gamer, thus I have never enjoyed 30fps.

A quick google. Apparently it's two mates, one who is Homosexual and the other is Heterosexual.
