.... This is hilarious, some of these comments. This was to be worse than Bayonetta 2.

 

 

Its not really the same situation since Bayonetta 2 is not timed exclusive

 Being completely realistic though, the only really strong game out of that list is Halo 5. Quantum Break and Scalebound will good, no doubt, but with Uncharted 4, The Order, BloodBorne, GT7, Guerilla's new title, and SSM's new title, all (potentially), coming out in 2015, those two simply won't cut it. MS is going to need more exclusives, and I guess this is how they're gonna do apparently.

You just listed two major games, Uncharted 4 and G7. Bloodborne is amongst my most hyped titles for next year, but it will sell in line with its predecessors, not push consoles. Even GT is sliding.

Honestly you mostly just listed titles with comparable pulling power (or less, half of them arent announced or revealed lol) to the ones I did.


I think Scalebound and Quantum Break will have similar pulling power to Bloodborne and the Order, while Halo and Uncharted being in a league of their own. GT7 has more pulling power than Scalebound and QB though.

This pretty means one thing; Microsoft knows they don't have a strong lineup for 2015 and are absolutely terrified of Uncharted 4, so they pretty much threw so much money that they drove a company to alienate the fan base that started it's series. I wonder if CD already forgot that both of Tomb Raider and the definitive version sold better on PS3/ PS4?

Before this, Microsoft had Scalebound, Quantum Break and Halo 5 off the top of my head, before any third party games, off the top of my head. Likely Forza 6 as well. If you prefer the PS4 or WiiU line-up, fine. But its just sillyness to pretend MS doesn't already have a great 2015 line up.

 I don't know bro, given the level of hype that was there at E3 for BloodBorne, I can see that being a far bigger title than it's predecessors. The Order still has a lot of potential to be a big hit, and SSM's new title, especially if it's God of War 4, could be a huge console seller as well. Only time will tell.

Thanks for reminding me but you know that I know and I know that you know so why did you reply at all if it comes down to this?


My point was that your original post I quoted was overblowing the hate that Tomb Raider got, when it was actually voted/ rated one of the best games of the Year by gamers on all sides.


Perhaps I was mislead by my perception but I remember a strong hate against the game on this forum. I know that there were a lot who actually liked the game, like me. And I also replied what the hate was about and there is no point in saying this didn't happen (what you didn't, of course). As a huge TR fan perhaps I was too sensical with the hate.

Tomb Raider is 100% total exclusive to Xbox One. Here's comment from Crystal Dynamics.

Still not convinced. Would be pretty cool if so though. Another reason for SONY 1st party to crank it up a notch.

Getting you? I just want to bet since you said it's NOT timed when I said it likely was. You challenged my claim, ffs...


So if people disagree than automatically a bet arises to finally settle the right afterwards? Yes, this sounds like a mature way of dealing with others and their opinions

You didn't put yours forward like an opinion. Oh and get off your high horse

Funny that you tell me that But either way this is getting useless now. I won't bet and stand by what is officially said and this means exclusive to Xbox One. If it happens to be otherwise, so be it.

Square Enix...
I might try and wait a PC version cause I don't plan to get an One till 2016.

I don't understand, whether not these companies are intentionally screwing over the majority of their consumers? If they think that the money they get is gonna be more then the money they would make by being multiplatform. Exclusive to 5 mill, and excluding 16 million + PC. 

Of course I'm salty, but seriously man this makes no sense.

It changes nothing for Xbox One owners. Or do you think they are happy that Playstation is not getting a version?

It is good for Xbox One owners BECAUSE they are getting it (simple as that)... So yah that a good thing or do you believe that NOT getting a game is a good thing too... And it is a good move for Microsoft and they are may move some console because of the deal. I do not see why you are talking about Playstation here...

Game was announced a while ago. You said: "Good move ... (for Xbox One owners at lest)" - What move was good for Xbox One owners? Not being the side that got the game cancelled?

Lol you now what, just be pissed off.

This is a good move for Xbox One owners, will bring more people to buy Xbox One and if you cannot understand why it is a good thing for Xbox One owners you either really frustrated and are just blindly pissed at my comment or you just want to start shit by bringing Playstation into the discusion.

Any exclusives deal that can bring more people to buy an Xbox One is GOOD for Xbox owners... What the hell is hard to understand into that lol

Right, well not playing this then....

They're gonna have to really add a lot more guns and remove a lot the climbing and exploration to fit in with the modern Xbox scene.

 

Thats the modern gaming scene period. Don't single out xbox with that stereotype.

At least you always have the option to try and wait to play the game in 2016 xD
