Taken seriously? On the internet? Hahahahahahaha. To my defense, I'm so used to trolling Sony fans on youtube, the word "ponies" came out of habit. Sorry Sony fans, my bad. I didn't meant to insult you this time.

I really don't see how you're defending yourself by admitting to taking part in youtube comment sections. Lol.

Black friday is the right time to buy an XBO if you want one.

This.


What does it matter? The article isn't about that. But, since you guys decided to bring this, know that, even if ponies don't want to accept it, by the end of the year there will be more reason to buy an XBone if you own a PS4 than the other way around.

Really? All the PS4 content that has come out during the course of the year will suddenly disappear from the market? On a basic numbers basis there are still more games exclusive to PS4 than Xb one. So given the reason to own 2 consoles is so that you have access to the exclusives library of both the calculus still comes out heavily in favour of PS4, even when you add this year's triple threat.

I think all 3 of the consoles have found their footing at this point and are worth the purchase now, which is pretty great.

Based on the past it is never a good time to buy the XBOX One because it will likely be cheaper in a few months. Hell this Black Friday I bet it is like $200 with the bundles it will get - then sure get one.


And that's the only time when sales really count... according to Microsoft.


Nobody at Microsoft ever said that, don't make things up, buddy.

Still waiting on the slim model. Hopefully next year.

What's wrong with the article? It's like any positive threatens for some reason damn. He's just mostly talking about what indeed seems to be a good to great lineup.

Did you read the article? It's a vomit inducing, corporate worshipping piece of propaganda, no self respecting journalist would be able to look in the mirror after writing a piece of filth like this. This is not journalism, this is marketing, nothing more.

Like I said, my problem here isn't the premise, if the article was called something like "The Xbox One might be the console to get this christmas season" and was in general more objective and less blinded by hype (cause, while this article might not make you think that way, aside from one or two things nothing he's talking about in here is actually out and has really been fully tested by the author), it would be fine. I mean he even goes so far as to circlejerk about early access, a system that is in general regarded negatively (I personally hate it, but that's neither here nor there).

Lines like this are not something a journalist should write (about a game he didn't play I might add), without being paid by the company to do it:

"But the bigger hit could be the exclusive-to-console-for-a-year Rise of the Tomb Raider, bringing back that classic video game adventure and exploration, wrapped in a budget to make Midas wince. You shouldn’t wait to buy new Tomb Raider on a different format a year later. We’ll have all moved on. Get that gold while you can. This is why you play triple-A."

You have to admit its a bit rich though don't you?

The guy has seen (not played) demo's of games. And he has positive things to say. You've been in both the Halo and Quantum Break threads to do with Kotaku in the last day or two alone, defending their right to slag off games they have seen (not played).

Why is one journalism, and the other a "vomit inducing, corporate worshipping piece of propaganda?" Don't get me wrong, this article probably goes too far, but a little consistency, even just day to day, would help facilitate positive discussion.

Side note, by early access are you referring to the recent announcement, which largely mirrors what already gets solid feedback on Steam? Or EA Access? I don't have EA Access, but I don't think I have seen a bad review from a single person that actually has it.

 

@ Others in this thread. Dernebel is correct, slagging off fanbases with silly nicknames is immature and unnecessary. First and last warning for those doing so in this thread.

Not really 2 exclusives who are excepted, 1 timed exclusive and view BC titles who have DRM attached to it isnt enough reason to buy this console now

What DRM?

I believe there's quite the difference between my actions in those threads and in this one. My point in the Quantum Break thread (I actually don't remember what I said in the Halo thread) was that I found it silly to dismiss the criticism the person had based on the outlet he worked for.

My problem here is not the general idea of the article, it's the execution that bugs the hell out of me, the whole thing reads like a MS marketing piece and the notion that a "professional games journalist" would on his own accord write like this, does make me a little sick (and there's probably people in the industry that write the same way for all the big 3). Sure it might be hard to believe but this has nothing to do with the platform he's writing about.

While the QB article definitely wasn't written perfectly it at least ended with saying that it was talking about only the demo and that there's still time to improve the final product, this on the other hand mostly just throws game names at you, doesn't actually tell you anything about those games and just straight up tells you to buy the system based on those mostly unreleased games.

Regarding early access I'm talking about the program on Steam which as I've heard has already produced several cases of games just being abandoned by their devs, of others just never going out of early access and also just a lot of pure trash being put on there, might be a problem that can be solved through certain measures but currently I'm not a huge fan of the whole thing.
