I still don’t get why yo want some reason to play Xbox One X to be honest. Why did you buy it in the first place? It was known for almost 2 years that there won’t be any Xbox One only games. Well, maybe there will be some but it will only be some niche small indie titles which no one will even know they exist. 

 There is no lack in exclusives in my opionion, because ms give us games that we can play for years.

1 example: I buy a god of war and i will have a nice weekend trough the game because god of war is great in what it wants to be.

But if i buy halo 5 i have enough input for years because it is a big multiplayer game where i have different situations every time i play it. The Story there is more like an intro and not the whole game like a god of war or the last of us.

So who give me more that i can play ms or sony? if would i would like 4 excluaives from sony i would have something to play for 150-200 hours that is where a halo 5 is starting!

The same you can say to gears of war and you could say it to titanfall in the first 3years of this genration.

I think some people forget that MSFT is a software company above all else. A software company wants to sell software. There's a reason why MSFT has software and services available on android, iOS and MacOS, and it's not because they are charitable. 

Sony on the other hand is a consumer electronics company first, so they are looking at things from a completely different perspective.

So by your metric DriveClub and Gran Turismo are better IPs than Halo... Because I have played each version of GT and DC more than 200h, GT5 I have put at least 650h.

I believe he likes to own every HW and play the best titles on then.

Pemalite is a very reasonable and knowledgeable user on VGC.

Personal preference certainly matters. If you think Driveclub and GT Sport are better than Halo, thays fine. Its just not relective of everybody.

There is validity to an argument that Halo 5 is fun for years and helps sell X1 units for years. I mean there is a reason you can still find Minecraft, Halo, Gears, and Forza 3 bundles. These are all games that help move units even if not recent games. Nintendo platforms also rely on titles that are years old to push units.

I have no doubt Pemalite is knowledgable but he stops being reasonable to argue and relies on straw man arguments regularly.

I think most people agree if you own a good PC, there arent many reasons to have X1 outisde of a few older games, Halo titles, maybe BC, etc. So he plays most games on PC because obviously the visually fidelity will be better there, then he complains he isnt using his X1X enough. Thats not a reasonable argument. He knew what X1X would offer and maybe acts like he didnt know for attention.

Yeah, an active person on Steam could be someone that spent a dollar or had a code for a game. But whatever, I already pointed out Steam has an audience worth supporting and MS games have done well there.

Thats why I mentioned GPUs. Many Steam users arent on powerful gaming PCs comprable to X1.

You keep pointing out console sales are lost are lost from X1 sharing games with PC and frankly it makes sense. But are the console sales lost significant? Probably not because X1 sales have not declined. To the contrary, this seems to be a good sales year for X1 in spite of PC having all the latest Xbox content since 2016.

There is a reason people buy various GTA games, even older ones. They vary in content even if the core gameplay is similar. Its not just a yearly sports update. So I would actually recommend FH2 to people that enjoyed FH3.

I agree MCC was a disaster at launch but it works pretty well now. Best place to play the campaigns and MP is active. Maybe thats why updates are coming? Because its still active. The ODST campaign is just $5 and a nice gift for people that dealt with bugs early on.

Yeah, Halo 5 is better than average and not a game that should be judged just by launch.

I was using BC as a notable feature among other content on the platform. Thats added value but not the sole reason I recommend X1.

Again, we cant really determine how many sales are lost by sharing games on PC. Some of the best selling console games are on PC. While a game like PUBG is thriving on Xbox due to PC hype. You have assumptions and no figures.

Generally speaking, 1st parties are outputting less content and taking less risks. Studios have shut down and its not exclusive to MS. Its probably because theyve settled with who their audiences are and cater to that. Especially when the unique titles often fail while the usual IPs/genres thrive.

X1X is not platform designed to push exclusives per se. Given it shares content with standard X1.

I still don’t get why yo want some reason to play Xbox One X to be honest. Why did you buy it in the first place?

I feel he has a X1X just so he can bitch about it. "I got this X1X  but it has nothing I wanna play! Well I should go on VGChartz and cry about it!"

It really makes zero sense. So it could only be an excuse to have something to talk about.

There is validity to an argument that Halo 5 is fun for years and helps sell X1 units for years.

I have no doubt Pemalite is knowledgable but he stops being reasonable to argue and relies on straw man arguments regularly.

The only genre that you cant find on a console very often is Real Time strategy what the reason for me is  why i have a "good" pc

I've only played 1 and 3 and found both to be very bland. Even if I had an Xbox One (I do have an OG and 360) I doubt anything can get me to buy Halo again ever. Esp today where there are so many IMO better options. Halo had its time but has been surpassed and its popularity has been fading for some time now. From Splatoon getting more attention, Halo Wars 2 falling into Bargain bins rather quickly and the recently very pathetic turnout for the Halo World Championship. This is a series not gaining any new fans anymore. That's MS biggest issue this gen. Another Gears , Halo, and Forza are not gaining new fans.

PS4 and Switch offer familiar IP's with new spins or new IP's period and just a lot of diversity in exclusives.  PS4 had exclusive Shmups, Nioh, Yakuza, Horizon, Persona, Gravity Rush 2 as just some examples of vastly different and varied games. Nintendo offered Botw, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, ARMS and Xenoblade 2, Snipperclips as again very different and varied exclusive games.  Why they are gaining new users and fans and MS is stagnating. I don't wish ill on MS but they need to learn Halo and co are not cutting it anymore. I do see some of the 2018 games  and while nothing wrong with them...it's up against some stiff compeition from PS4 and NS and honestly seems weak in comparison. I wish MS would be more aggressive on exclusives. I really liked the 360 and OG Xbox.

And that is why I just provided plenty of examples of why the GPU argument is redundant.
We could go around in circles all day.

I mean, do you discredit the Switch, which is set to beat the Xbox One this generation because of it's inferior hardware? No? Exactly.

Well. The Original Xbox shared a majority of it's library with the PC and it paled in comparison to the Playstation 2 sales rate.
The Xbox 360 had a larger portion of exclusive games that weren't on PC and did extremely well for itself. - If Halo 3 and Fable 2 were on PC, I would never have bought an Xbox 360 as early as I did.

The Xbox One looks set to possibly come up short when compared to the Xbox 360, it's not a failure by any stretch... But it's simply not a console that appeals to PC gamers like the 360 did.

And don't get me wrong, I love the fact that so many more games are coming to my primary platform, but that just means I want more for my Xbox One X.

Yeah. Nah. GTA 5 has pretty much obliterated the sales of all prior releases in the franchise, but of course there are those who buy older games, I do.

I'm not a fan of the racing genre anyway, so if I was going to pick up Forza as a spur-of-the-moment purchase, then it would be the latest release anyway.

It doesn't work for allot of people. Otherwise Microsoft/343i wouldn't have made a statement about patching and fixing the game just recently. - I did provide a link for that.

Indeed, the free ODST campaign was a great freebie, it's also ironic that they provided us with free single-player content though. Haha

Halo 5 is average. - Allot of the criticisms I have of the game at launch are still relevant today. (Minus SOME of the missing features/content.)
But an average Halo game is still a good game, but I do have a bias there as I am well invested in the franchise... I do own every single release of Halo on every platform. - In-fact. I even own TWO copies of Halo 5.

If anything it's a value-added incentive over competing console platforms and not the PC who tends to remain backwards compatible either way.
It's free though... And some games are being "enhanced". (But still fall short of some PC releases a decade+ ago.)

PUBG is riding on the PC hype-train... Even then it's sold orders of magnitude more on PC anyway.
It's probably the game Microsoft needed to keep gamers talking about Xbox while there are no exclusives.

Which is ironic as publishers are posting ever-increasing-profits.
Still, it's hard to argue that Microsoft just hasn't been investing in first party content at the same rate as Sony or Nintendo... The games themselves don't even need to be massive, expensive AAA undertakings, games like Cuphead which was full of charm and character is enough to draw the attention to the Xbox platform.

Besides. Sony makes a loss on a few franchises, but they offset those losses from franchises that rake in the money... Because even if a game only sells a few million units, it's adding value to the platform as a whole, it's bringing attention from gaming outlets.. And those who do buy those games are likely to buy others.

I do have a ton of hope for 2018 for the Xbox platform... And hopefully my Xbox One X isn't stuck at a last century 1080P resolution all year... Because I am over that as well.

Ironically. For exclusives. Aka. Halo.
Not that I actually have to justify my purchasing decisions to anyone, my money... And I can do whatever the hell I like with it.

Master Chief Collection still has a plethora of bugs.
There is a black screen bug that I ran into a ton of times during my play of Halo 2.

Because it's a valid complaint? And I knew full-well what the exclusive situation was like for the Xbox One X prior to my purchase... I did own a base Xbox One with Kinect since it's launch you know... And I complained about the scarcity of exclusives then too.

So yes it is a reasonable argument. And No. - Your complaining about my arguments isn't going to change my position.
