I have no idea why ppl always talk about  exclusives like they do. Maybe it's just a time thing with me. With all the multiplayer games, side missions, single player, score challenging etc.. of games i have way more than enough games to play to the next  ame i want comes out. Then the cycle starts again next year. My backlog is crazy for 360 and getting there for Xbox One. I'm already deleting games

I think as compensation for all the problems, everyone who bought the MCC till end of December should get Spartan Strike for free + some money to spend on anything on the marketplace. 

But I guess MS will probably do nothing lol.

damnnnn :'( ordered a new TV from Amazon to use in my room to game with my xbone on and it arrived today and doesn't work at all. gonna have to contact amazon and send it back and all..so much hassle ;-;

Yeah I was just thinking that..if I had bought it in Currys or something I couldve just took it to the local store and exchanged it. Never gonna buy big electronic stuff online again

There are some people with short attention spans, they beat a games campaign, maybe play the online multiplayer for a week and move on to the next game. Sadly there are very little completionists around these forums. I have 5 Xbox One games, 2 of them I got in November and they managed to hold me over all year. Granted I played some Pokemon too.

A guy on neogaf made a thread about how less games are getting announced for Xone especially indies talking also about the Parity clause...

The picture he creates looks bleak but it sadly sounds possible if you ask me

This indie push is so annoying, where was all this love during the ps360 days, it was non-existent because a majority were for 360. When sony put those indies on stage, this indie craze started getting out of control. I'm not talking all indies, but for every 1 good one there is 10-20 bad ones and the good ones usually end up getting released on XB1 anyways because MSFT will let them through.

Isn't kind of ironic to brag about a consoles power and then play games that an atari could run. I don't hate indies at all, but people are trying to make it seem like we buy 300+ dollar consoles to play indies.

People talk about Indies a lot but when it comes to buy them no one does it.
I want MS to keep it's Arcade label on quality small games. They should invest in some of the highest quality Arcade of last gen: Iron Brigade (my fave), Battleblock, Shadow Complex, Splosion series, Max, etc... an bring back Summer of Arcade.

Most indie devs all they want to do is make quick buck during this 2D platformer craze.

Games that I played this year:

TitanFall, PvsZ, Sunset Overdrive, Forza, Middle Earth, Dragon Age, Worms, CoD, NBA 2K15, D4, Chariot and some games from the previous year. 

I didn't play any remastered game this year (still haven't touched Halo). 

1- Sunset Overdrive

2- Dragon Age: Inquistion

3- Forza Horizon 2

4- Middle-Earth: Shadows of Mordor

5- D4

6- Worms: Battleground

7- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

8- Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare

9- TitanFall

10- NBA 2K15

- Ordered by how much I enjoyed the game, not what I think is a better game. 

- CoD is above TitanFall and PvsZ because I'm not a fan of online multiplayer. If they had a real single player campain, they would be above it.

- This was my first Worms game (got it free with gold). I didn't expect it to be that fun. 

- NBA is my most played game!

If you want indies get a super cheap PC. You can't play every indie with a super cheap PC but 90% of those releases on PC and 90% of them are still 10x more as the PS4 or any other console will ever get.

Many of these games in the Neogaf list are also games which released already a year earlier on PC and which you will get as bundle with 7 other indie games for maybe 5 bucks when it will cost 10 bucks on console without other games in a  bundle...

Bastion as example (which was even on last gen and is pretty old) was already in like 100 bundles where you could get it for 3 Dollar with 5 more games. The PS4 release will be probably 10 Dollar with maybe an extra level or something.
