Also as Xbox fans, I normally see Sony fans posting a majority of negative article's for Xbox One. Now the internet has way more Playstation fans then Xbox but we should take a page out of their book. You won't find as many articles because of the make up of the internet but be sure if you see something to rush over, post it! This site needs some balance. I usually only post MS articles but be sure I will be posting Sony news. As that is what always happens here.

Lol he got named for telling people to do what don't don't fans do all the time. So the action is ok,  just not saying it.  Lol


Obviously, you're not saying much since you're not making a lot of sense.

I'm looking forward to the X1 can't wait to play Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5. Might even give Ryse a try since it looks a lot better then it did earlier depends on reviews though.

Go back and re-read the original post.  On my phone. 



Microsoft does the same mistake that Sony did in 2007.
Funny.

i'm going to list off the phases i've seen since i've been on this site:

punching bag = 360 for RRoD.
punching bag = ps3 for $599
punching bag = wii for casual games
punching bag = wii for massive sales drop aka fad
punching bag = ps3 for psn hack
punching bag = 3DS for no games at launch
punching bag = ps vita for shit-tacular sales and no games
punching bag = wiiU for shit-tacular sales and no games
punching bag = xbox one for anti-consumer policies

 

...my only question is why are xbox fans so sensitive?  sony and nintendo fans weathered their shit storms with far more grace.


I've come across a few Xbox fans (hopefully the ones I'm referring to are the fringe minority) from the very beginning who believed that just because Microsoft has deep pockets they will create a kickass console what will rule over all.  Well Nintendo is still around and so is Sony regardless of their financial woes.  And look how more financially stable Microsoft is compared to Nintedo and Sony combined.  I've come to the conclusion that these fans in particular were putting too much faith in Microsoft's cash flow instead of catering to the gaming market since this is console gaming that we are talking about.

lol, yeah.   many of the same that, imo, put too much faith in xbox one due to xbox 360 as well.  i'm reminded of the old adage past performance is not indicative of future results.  we all saw sony stumble going from ps2 to ps3 so it's not like it was even that long ago we saw a significant shift in the market.  ...and besides, it's not like the 360 even dominated the market.  the amount of confidence some place in xbox is just,.. unjustified.   it's a good brand now.  it make massive gains this gen.   ..but it still has to prove itself all over again and that reveal was just soo off-point.

I tend to look at the thread starter and decide whether to look at the thread or not. You can usually tell if it's a thinly veiled troll quite easily.


There's thinly veiled....and then there's this.

Lol he got banned for telling people to do what sony fans do all the time. So the action is ok,  just not saying it.  Lol

This shows some conflict. 

Yeah, yeah. And the poor innocent Xbox/Nintendo fans have to suffer under this tyranny every day since the mods are all horribly biased towards Playstation and don't do anything about it. Seriously this phrase "he got banned for this, even though XXX fans do that all the time"(which is very often used in connection with Playstation/Sony) is so absolutely childish that I wouldn't mind if it was a bannable offense.

Seems that this site has turned into a bashing fest for all fans opposing Xbox One. Most talk on this site has been focused on Multi-plats, yet thats about where the story ends. Xbox has done a great job on first party and has in my opinion, a way better launch line up. So the focus obviously has been on Launch Multiplats that are rushed out. Not only rushed but on a new systems. No one is denying that PS4 has more power, but by how much?  This site would have you believe Xbox One is actually the atari 2600. However Ryse has yet to be outshined.

One factor that is always, ALWAYS left out is? Kinect 2.0, a great piece of hardware that will not be ignored by the public or gamers alike. Not only will it not be ignored but will be a major selling point for the system.  You will see a lot of posts that complain about the extra $100 but completely leave out and ignore Kinect, as if it's not even a part of the deal. Personally I think paying a extra $100 for the device is a great deal and will serve them in the future. Launching with the device is a great idea and will be a success, the only people who compain about this, are usually only those who where not going to buy the system in the first place. having the device from the beginning will get games to use in all different ways and get the attention it deserves. I can see FPS games allowing you to peak around corners or many different combinations of actions.

Reasons why most articles are spin.

1. Launch games are not going to be to close to full potential, and are not going to be for some time. Look at what Halo 4 Achieved

2. There is a learning curve for any system, some are easier, some are not. Time is needed, it's new!

3.  Xbox One will Achieve 1080p 60fps on multi-plats and has already on first party game Forza.

 

Now we will get lots of spin and pounding of the chest in here, try to keep it civil.

 

 

 

 

MS is to blame, they are the ones who have created this situation..

 

PS3 was crapped on for years, and so is vita and wii-u.... You are looking at this in a very one sided manner.

I won't comment on the consoles themselves as the topic is focusing in this community.

I agree x 1 has become a punching bag and there are two reasons for that.

1. Something has to take hits pre launch in close releases, xbox has had more weak spots exposed and sony kept better secrets. A lot of things said about xbox are past things that are no longer true but I think this website is beyond that at the very least.

2. Fanboys try to swing sales of the undecided gamers. it happens for every console and we don't see it from MS this time around because they don't have any sexy leverage. News of the resolution disparity gave sony fanboys an easy clinger, not that power wasn't always their main argument but the technicality of it only made it an easy argument.

Things will be what they will be but it would be nice if people didn't cling so much on aged established news. We see the same threads posted by different people word for word, and when it's not the exact same the topic does not change, it gets old rather quickly. Basically we have a lot of dedicated marketer here that may or may not be getting profits from the sales.

Can't change it though, I think they kind of like acknowledging threads like this, more fuel to the fire.


You forgot a few other ewasons.

1. MS tried to implement draconian DRM schemes and required an every 24 hour check-in to play your games. They have since walked that back under intense pressure from the gaming community and the media.

2. They are selling a technically inferior (well have to see if the eSRAM ever delivers any performance gains later into its lifecycle) machine for $100 more.

 



Forza is a racing game. There are racing games running at 1080/60 on current generation systems. First example that comes to mind is Wipeout HD on the PS3. Racing games are not demanding. To a lesser extent, this applies for fighting games & some sports games also. You will never ever see a demanding AAA FPS or open world title running at 1080/60 on Xbox One, ever. If I am not too bored, I might make a thread later and explain why, with technical details. In short, Xbone doesn't have enough Shaders, enough ROPS, enough bandwidth for the task. Even the PS4 is just barely good enough for 1080/60.

Now regarding the Kinect. Sorry, we don't want it, it sucks. A camera watching me while I am playing video games, serves no purpose. Motion gaming is a fad. And the fact that Microsoft crippled their hardware budget, to include that overpriced & overengineered camera in the box for 500 dollars, makes me even more angry.
