Xbox's lack of compelling games won't be fixed in 2018 [Endgadget]

I bought an Xbox One. I am extremely unhappy with my purchase. I used to hate it when people would say they bought a console and it's collecting dust, but.... its been in the basement unhooked for 2 years. The only game I wanted to play in that time was Ori, which I was able to play at work (lucky me, I know).

Honestly, I have no hope for it anymore. I'd trade it in if I thought I could get anything remotely decent out of it.

I don't revel in any of this. I wasted my money. My wife laughs at me about it and I have no rebuttal.

This is just me. Me only. If other people love theirs, think it's the best console of choice, hate everything else, whatever... good for them. Be happy. Personally, I feel like I messed up in buying one and won't be making the same mistake again anytime soon.

I did the same thing with PS4, I bought it because it was cheap and I wanted to play Horizon. Used it 2-3 times to play Horizon. Now, It just been collecting dust but it did come with Uncharted 4, I will eventually go back it. 

There so much content coming out on both platform ... that it's really hard to justify owning since most of the third party is available on both. But, In your case I would say just sell it before it fully depreciates. 

You can't say that Xbox doesn't have it's exclusive Halo Series (Halo 5, Halo Wars 2 & Halo MCC); Forza Series (Motorsports & Horizons); Gears series (Gears of war: Ultimate edition & Gears 4), Quantum Break, Ori and the blind forest & Cup head. When Xbox first came out the top exclusive included Sunset Overdrive, Titan Fall, Rare Replay & Dead Rising 3. 

You are obviously not into Xbox backward compatible and game pass program. Which will appeal to other gamers.

 

I'm fine with others loving it, only giving my thoughts. I did like Halo, but RTS are the only games I insist on playing on PC because of the controls. Never liked any racing games (for those that do, I totally understand going XBOX). I don't need to rebuy Gears games or old Rare games. Couldn't care less about backwards compatibility as I've already played all those.

I did buy Titanfall but was ultimately disappointed with it. SO looked too similar to infamous, which I had just played, so I passed. I'm sure it's not bad though.

Again, I'm glad some people are happy, but I don't think other's feelings on it (and it isn't just mine) should be dismissed as fanboy rhetoric. I'm genuinely disappointed. I hope Microsoft understands that a lot of people ARE disappointed and does better, so that I'll want to buy their product again.
