Don't really see the point of the video, but I cant say I disagree with most of them. MS really screwed up in many ways leading up to the XB1 launch, so I feel that I just cant trust them.
Sony and Nintendo gives me the impression like they are gamers who love what they do and love making games. With MS, they just seem like this big cold company who just buys exclusives and doesn't care what the game is. Minecraft for example. I mean how many XB1 owners are happy that MS bought that instead of investing all that money into new IPs or sequels to games many have been asking for?

Ill get an XB1 at the end of the gen when its dirt cheap and has some great games I want to play.

Im not knocking anyone who bought it and loves it, but for me, MS has a lot of work to do before I consider getting on board earlier.

Bolded part hit home.

$2.5B on minecraft. $500M on NFL deal. I know MS has got money, but when a company does stuff like that you have to wonder.

They are making new IPs and sequels to games.  Just look at TItanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Halo 5, as well as the continuing Forza and Gears franchise...

Microsoft just has extra cash that they can spend on things like Minecraft.

I mean...I understand that these are just the opinions of the people there, and plenty of them are valid complaints, but why did Gamespot think this was a good idea to post?

How was this going to end in any other way than Xbox fans being pissed?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

They are? Last time I checked Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break were made by third party developers...

Good video. They just expressed their opinion. There is nothing wrong with it.

Their IPs. They are sitting on several beloved franchises and they decide to buy Minecraft instead of reviving those...

And how exactly do you want them to revive those other beloved franchises?  Stop producing Forza all together so they can make those games?

My god lots of babies lately. If someone has an opinion that differs from your own, one should be mature enough to respect that and move on.

I find it amazing that the opinion of a handful of ppl is making such a large number of ppl angry. As long as you enjoy a ceetat product, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks of it.

I remember back when the ps3 first launched how most of the media was nitpicking and being extremely hard on it for being harder to develop for and port games from the 360 to it and how a lot of multiplat games ran much worse or had muddy graphics. But now that it's happening to the Xbox this time, a certain group of ppl are getting angry.

So again, no, gamespot didn't go too far. It's just an opinion. Play your consoles ppl and enjoy them. There's no need for this kind of behavior.
