 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.

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 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. 

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.
