lol no point in buying an Xbox now.

About time this kind of response was moderated. Its so so stupid.

And its only purpose every time seems to be to derail threads.

Eh, not exactly the best news. For starters, cross-buy is digital only right now, which is pretty disappointing. Secondly, we still don't know for sure that Xbox players won't be forced to play against mouse and keyboard PC users in multiplayer games. Lastly, it means that Xbox will have no true exclusives moving forward, which negates the single biggest reason to buy a console.

Honestly at this point it's looking like PC is the way to go in the future, you get all Xbox games, plus the usual PC exclusives (indies, MMO's, MOBA's, RTS, etc.), plus the 3rd party exclusives that Sony only gets console exclusive rights to (SFV, Shenmue 3, I Am Setsuna, etc.), all on one platform. Not to mention Steam sales and the like, which are currently better than either Sony's or Microsoft's sales. The only downside I see to PC gaming moving forward is the lack of game rentals.

Biggest reason to get a console is not to want to play on PC. Which i actually don't want except for old games. Basically all pre Steam.

 

Years back a reason for PC gaming and/or console gaming was totally different games.

 

Now my biggest concern actually is mouse+WASD vs. controller, at least for FPS/TPS.

For a guy that likes to travel overseas light like me, this is a big deal. Hopefully by December I'll get a Surface and hold K.I. tournaments with my friends on the islands.

Why not allow PC players crossplay if they use an official X1 controller?

I'm guessing they'll announce those alongside Halo 6 next E3. Crossing my fingers for Gears 2-3 as well.

Man, now i'm getting excited!

I hope so! As soon as MCC got announced, I really wanted to play it but since I didn't have an x1, I couldn't. But now, its a possibility! Come on MS, doooo it!!!

I've been waiting to play Halo again with a mouse since Halo 1! They can't possobly be so cruel as to hold MCC back from PC users!

Phil said it's possible.

Christ this site has become so fucking uptight. Can't even joke anymore. Lmao.
Guess I have to put "I'm joking" after every time I tell a joke. No wonder most of the posters have left.

OT: This was only a good thing for MS to do.
