So what kind of a metascore do you think it will get? I'm predicting 77-83 for State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3, and Sea of Thieves. 

I'm sure there are some whom have regretted it just like some who regretted buying any console purchase. Most people who have bought a  X1 within the last year or so don't care if a game like Gears 4 and Forza release on PC. If they cared that much, they wouldn't have bought the console in the first place. Btw, anyone buying the console now has more than enough exclusives to play between now and the next big MS exclusive game, SoT. 

I can tell you the incentives of buy an X1. Play anywhere, xbox game pass, BC of 360 and some original xbox, best multiplat versions now with X1X, of course the MS exclusives people enjoy. 

MS was lacking in exclusives in 2017, but up until then they did pretty good and 2018 is looking solid.  

Sorry, I accidentally got the XB1 Metascore for State of Decay. It's 78 like you said. Still nothing to get hyped over though. Games with wide appeal that don't get 80/100 aren't worth it IMO. For example, if a CoD game gets under 80 by metacritic you can be sure the game is terrible, because there are tons of unqualified know nothing reviewers on that site, that give it at high marks just for being a shooter. On the flip side there are tons of must own JRPGs out there with scores of 78 to 83, from metacritic, because those same unqualified reviewers write "I hate JRPGs the review". I mean if you make a racing game, any shmuck on the planet will understand it, even if he's never picked up a controller in his life. So if some random writer lands a review gig, for a newspaper or tech site, and suddenly has to review a racing or shooting game, chances are they will like it, even if they are a 52 year old non-gamer. Hand that same 52 year old guy a copy of Xenoblade and they'll pan it without even completing the main quest. 

Is Viva Pinata on steam? Because for some reason I thought it got a much lower score than that. Now I want to play it. xD

Rare replay is a remaster.

Honestly I still think it's a bit iffy to hype a game from a developer that hasn't had a good game in nine years. I mean, it's ok to look forward to a game like that. Just don't be like "ZOMG!!! THIS IS GONNA BE A TOTAL 9/10 GOTY CONTENDER!" 

I agree with your Atelier example, but what about Persona 5, Nier Automata, Ys VIII, etc.?

it wont be cancelled but it looks really mediocre... Id be surprised if it scores higher than a 70 on metacritic.

Its def. not a game thats looking to wow people in anyway shape or form.

I bought the thing in 2015 and I absolutely regret my purchase. I used it so little that I put it back in its box, waiting for whenever a worthwhile game comes along.
It is quite inconceivable for a console now in its fifth year to still have such a lackluster lineup. Both Sony and Nintendo have done a much better job this generation, and neither took this long

Your issue right there is how you expanded the topic to an outer territory. Mobiles, Board Games and other activities.

The Subject is about PC and Console. Basically what others are saying in here is "Why buy an Xbox when you can buy a PC" and my answer is simple and true "Not all gamers want to game on PC" that means there are many gamers out there who enjoy the console simplicity and will buy an Xbox over a PC. Other markets don't factor in here because someone that wants to play Xbox games wont be able to on other methods unless its a PC or an Xbox. 

Am I wrong here?

Or are you going to agree with the others and say all gamers don't want to game on Xbox, they all want PCs instead?

And how many do you think of those 30+ mil regretting their purchase now due to lack of  flow of  exclusives and creation of new compelling IPs? 

How many regret now knowing they don't need an Xbox to play Xbox exclusives?

How many regret now knowing they bought a multiplat machine?

What was x1's last true exclusive Not on pc?  Halo 5?  Released back in 2015?  how many felt mislead by MS this far in on this gen cycle with MS's lack of focus on games?  Is it not the games and exclusives that determine what console you move forward with when purchasing a new console, Especially when moving to next gen?  I'm just saying MS took away any incentive to buy an x1 Especially now with their narrative being play anywhere and "the best place to play multiplat", but only if you buy the 1x?  Dont see how that's hard to understand.  

I didn't mean to say that their games are trash. They were still a competent studio back in 2009. Hell, they just might surprise me and make Sea of Thieves a great game. But to say that Sea of Thieves is definitely going to be a 9/10 game, is like saying the next Warriors game is going to be a 9/10. Microsoft has hyped both Crackdown and SoT up as these premium AAA offerings, because its all they have. 

The thing though is MS's narrative has constantly changed since the beginning of this current gen and still continues to change while they try and find their own identity.  It wasn't until just September 2016 that Play Anywhere launched.  How do you think most of those that bought the one prior felt about that?  Had Play Anywhere launched from the get-go, do you think Xbox would of sold much consoles?  If consumers knew from the start all they needed was a decent gaming PC and live account that they could play most xbox exclusives, would xbox of sold as well as it did to start off? 

And yes,  anyone buying the console for the past year or so wouldnt care about x1 exclusives on pc now because that's the current narrative with their exclusives.  Just like anyone who stays with the og x1 or slim now know they'll have the inferior of all multiplats this gen.  It's this majority that are getting the shaft.. weakest system, inferior multiplats, and loss of exclusives.  If I remember, 1x is approximately 1mil only of the 30+ mil on OG and slim.   And now, these 30+ mil gamers officially own nothing more than a  multiplat console.
