| curl-6 said: To be fair, I feel kinda the same way about Xbox this gen too, back in 2012-2013 I always assumed I'd end up getting an Xbone at some point just cos I liked the 360 so much, but games like Halo 5 and Gears 4 ended up looking nowhere near as interesting or appealing to me as their 360 predecessors. I've also kinda gone off AAA third party games too, with a few excellent exceptions the formula feels a bit stale to me now, they don't seem to have changed much since about 2009 except in ways I don't like, like adding predatory monetisation tactics such as loot boxes and microtransactions. Thankfully the 360 still got a fair few of the early good ones like Evil Within, MGS5, Wolfenstein the New Order, etc. |
I was super big on 360 too but skipped X1. Primarily because the 360 in the early years for me was defined by top notch wastern RPGs that were timed exclusive or not available on Playstation Bioshock/Masseffect/Fable 2, Banjo Kazooie remasters, superior versions of 3rd party games like Oblivion and of course Halo local multiplayer. Xbox One literally lost all of this lmao.
No more fable, no halo local player, no platforming or Banjo, no Bioware exclusivity (bioware have sunken anyway) & worse versions of third party titles.
I'm happy to see that they are trying to fix this now, buying more studios centred on Single player/action/RPGs & bringing Halo local multiplayer back. If they bring back fable & reboot Banjo I would be 100% sold.
