Hey I'll insert my opinion about the OP some time in the future but I was caught off guard by your profile picture. 

 

HOW AMAZING IS THE NEW CHVRCHES ALBUM

Amazing enough for me to actually buy it instead of torrenting it

Srsly good stuff.

OT: I'll look forward to your opinion 

Okay finally got around to reading it. 

 

I completely agree. Although I don't have an xbone, I loved my 360 and OG Xbox so I feel like I can provide an unbiased opinion here. 

 

Basically, the 1st party of Microsoft consists of mediocre small indie developers, and Halo, Gears, Forza, and Fable makers. 

 

I am a huge long time fan of halo. Until 4. Halo 3 is one of the best games of all time, 1 and 2 were amazing. Reach was also amazing and underrated for the story. 

 

Halo 4 was stupid. (my opinion 😛)  gameplay felt weird and clunky and the story was meh. 

 

Kind of hyped for 5 but I prefer Bungies Halo direction over 343. 

 

Also enjoy gears. The first 2 were great. Didn't really play the 3rd and I heard judgement sucked. Interested with gears 4 tho it looks different and promising. 

 

I can't stand Forza/GT/all sim racers. They are garbage (opinions are nice) and I think should stop being made. Very boring. 

 

Lionhead is a bad developer that never lived up to their potential. Their best game to date is fable 2 all the way from 2008. Empty promises and stupid on rails games made me completely lose interest in them. Shame. 

 

But yeah. I agree. 5/10 seems fair. Personally, no 1st party game for the Xbone up to today has even got me contemplating buying an Xbone. 

 

Like you said though to be fair no 1st party game on the ps4 has been amazing either. Although I did love Infamous and bloodborn. 

 

Yeahh. CHVRCHESSSSS
