I believe this is true.

So what are we gonna do about the issue of too many Nintend fans on this site?

I don't believe this is an issue in the first place. But why not deport them to the Mushroom Kingdom? Win win.

It's a decent space fighter. It's no Elite Dangerous but for instant skirmishes it's great. Same as End space which is singleplayer. Eve Valyrie has some single player content but is made for death match etc. They recently slashed the price in half with the warzone update. I didn't think it was worth full price so I only got it yesterday. Half price seems about right. I'm only rank 5 though, have yet to go into my first death match. Training and Co-op against AI was fun.

But does it have a Campaign Mode ? (Story mode if you prefer)

There are memories you can play. It's not really a campaign mode though. I'll give it a try tonight see what it is. I was too tired last night to put on a headset, played too much donkey kong country on the snes.

Anyway this is what's in game

All focused on preparing you for multiplayer gameplay, no story mode, but you can play a lot solo.

Xbox fandom is all but dead at this point. Most MS fans were either banned or left (and I can't blame them honestly.)

In general I would say the Ninty and Sony fandoms had an equal presence (Sony fandom slightly larger), but lately the Nintendo fandom seems to be the biggest.

Could also be that they lost interest in the brand, last gen my primary gaming machine was a X360 which I have around 150 retail games for but yeah... as soon as the X1 was revealed it really just killed any levels of "fandom" I can feel to recommend the Xbox brand to anyone who isn't a gamer asking me for advice on which console to buy for Xmas and such.

I appreciate that some people still like certain aspects about the store and console, but really in 2017 I would always recommend people consider any alternative to the Xbox brand as it stands right now but go back a few years on here and you'll see my threads about sales on xbox live and such, but yeah, reveal X1 and then their PR after that was just despicable.

Well, the numbers shows that there is not an equal Ninty and Sony fandom.

Just as I said :)

Yeah, I think a lot of the PS fans went to Vizioneck (JoeTheBro, Pezus, Ethomaz, Xevross, Raven722, Mmm_fish_tacos, DerNebel, The-Pi-Guy, etc.) which really lowered the presence of PS fans on here. Though we still obviously do have a sizeable PS fanbase here.

Bingo. I think the former big presence of all 3 fandoms on the site had to do with how great Gen 7 was in terms of sales. First Nintendo was dominating sales, then Xbox picked up, then PS also picked up, then Ninty slowed down, then Ninty sales fell off a cliff (3DS initially, WiiU), but the last transformation point was the release of the PS4 and Xbox One.

Since that point, there's been nothing interesting in terms of sales. PS4 dominating, Xbox doing bad-okayish, WiiU sales super low and 3DS doing fine. The XBO reveal certainly hurt the Xbox fandom, with most "non-aligned" users that just liked the 360 for what it had to offer rather than brand loyalty moving on to other plaftorms. The rest of the die-hard MS fandom got so much shit it wasn't even funny, so it was inevitable that we'd end up without an MS presence on here. I've even seen one of the users you listed talk crap on kowenicki (one of this site's Xbox pillars) even on Vizioneck, which is pretty sad to be honest.

Many pillars on all sides started frequenting this site less and less ever since the sales became so monotone. Many prominent Sony fans also left the site (Again, some of their own accord and some were banned for flaming/flamebaiting) for Vizioneck.

Having a single fandom dominate a forum doesn't create much room for heated discussion, so that's why we still have 2 major fandoms here

I guess JayWood leaving the site also affected the Xbox community here, as the new XBE never had the volume of discussion that the original one had.



Multiple is fun



I play Nintendo and Sony in equal amounts. PC is for indies and exclusives that I can't get on PS4 like Civ VI, Divinity II, and Total War.



Nintendo + PC



Sony+Nintendo

I own a gaming PC, but I don't use it very often for gaming.
