Xbox One

Re: Xbox One

He is not a fan-boy, just realistic. Don't go lobbing that title around either, we don't need accusations of "fanboyism" in either of the threads. He was making a post about the Xbox, so it goes in the xbox thread.

Do not have to say PlayStation in every post not to be biased, obvious his sig shows PSN only. Just like mine says XBOX, if I want to go to playstation thread to read about what people are saying is one thing, but i am not going to go post in there and say how PSN is not up to par, especially if i do not even own one. If he owns a xbone as well, then that is a different matter, and he could definitely post feedback about system in here. Not sure why even post in here unless you got real info or links about system, like Joe does. I apologize for labeling fan-boy, just very obvious to me.

I don't know what you think he's doing wrong by calmly discussing the XBOX ONE and some of its limitations at launch, but you're really, really stretching things to make assumptions like what you're doing. If he was coming in here and lobbing around unfounded criticisms that aren't well-documented then you would have something, but that obviously isn't the case here.

I'm surprised you have completely missed all of Trapper's posts. He's been a lot harder on this system than Uber has.

Re: Xbox One

I have noticed your comments you make in this thread all the long, it is obvious you are a PlayStation fan-boy, which is great - to each their own, but not sure what your comments are feedback prove except this? There is a PlayStation thread just for you and the NG decision you made. Coming in here to not really give any real information besides a obvious PlayStation bias is not needed. I for one do not go into PlayStation thread talking about how much better I think Xbone features will be and how PlayStation messes things up.

Uhm as long as I've been on OS and he has been on OS the dude barely has gone gaga over Sony products. I see him talk PC a lot. So where in his comments does he talk down the X1 in such a way that he's making things up.There are issues on both sides regardless whichever console you choose for this gen. It's kind of funny though, I've seen more diehard 360 guys switch to PS4 this gen regardless of how tied they are into the MS ecosystem due to pricing and the BS MSFT pulled on everyone earlier in the year. So people still have a right to complain if a feature is messed up. I won't own an X1 but I want it to succeed for competition to keep Sony honest and their toes and vice versa.

have known him for a while, he is not a fan boy in any way, shape, or form. I read tons of criticism for the PSN in the PS4 thread but I didn't get defensive about it. People are allowed to have differing opinions.

Re: Xbox One

What are people's thoughts on forza? I used to play midnight club and intrigued by forza. I'm not a serious racer though... But i do enjoy racing games

Well, Polygon touched on this during their live stream of the xbox one yesterday... they played Forza and basically realized live on air that it's not worth the 9 out of 10 score (that was given in the Polygon review - written by someone else). It must have been pretty bad for a place as biased as Polygon to say these things (they were given $750,000 by Microsoft when starting out), but I guess it doesn't matter what they say anymore since Microsoft got their 9.0 to add to their metacritic rating for the game.

Quick summary: Awful loading times, bad interface, unskippable voiced introductions everywhere, poor kinect integration, drivatars ramming you off the road, limited range of tracks - leading to a boring grind unless you pay real money.

Choice quotes:

"The AI is so advanced and true to life that it will send you a message calling you a fag when you win."
"It's really cool, the game penalizes you for having fun!"
"A lot of sitting around watching things."
"It looks like you are in hotwheels land"

guy 1: "I don't see how this [headtracking] is useful at all"
guy 2: "well you can see around a turn-"
guy 1: "NO"

"ughhhh are there microtransactions in this"
"everyone in forza drives like an *******"

Jeff Gerstmann from Giant Bomb had a similar experience

Re: Xbox One

I have to say I am proud of Microsoft allowing you to download day one update to a USB stick prior to launch. Some time you to let competition go first and learn from their mistakes!

Or you know....

not offer it at all.

Re: Xbox One

Just like I am allowed to have mine, just my observation. Not sure how comments and wording like this is constructive?

how are these types of comments valid? or constructive? I was just posting my opinion, no big deal, was not meant as an attack, just seems not necesssry.

Because that criticism has been well-documented in the impressions and reviews that have been published this week around the net.

Trading in COD for the One version, buying 2k14 and paying for Ryse. So close.

Then post in here links and reviews like others, that is all I am saying.

Something like this?

More stuff to note.

http://www.videogamer.com/news/xbox_...a_hdmi_in.html

More reviews. Just so bigjoe can read and doesn't have to work on posting them

I'll include their scores/brief summary in few words if the article has them.

ArsTechnica Review
Verdict: Buy it if there are exclusives that appeal to you, not for the bells and whistles. Otherwise, save $100 and get a PS4.

Destructoid Review

Engadget Review

EuroGamer (DigitalFoundry) Review
Note: this review is more of a compilation of all their links and other stuff than an actual one-stop review of the system.

GameInformer Review

IGN Review
Note: Still a work in progress.

Joystiq Review

Kotaku Review
The Xbox One is trying some very cool new things, and it's launching alongside some very fun games. But there are so many rough edges, and the software feels incomplete. Do you need to have an Xbox One? Not Yet.

Kotaku Australia Review

PCWorld Review
4/5 Stars (I believe.)

Rev3 Games Review (YouTube)
Note: I have no idea what he says. I didn't feel like listening to Sessler at all.

ShackNews Review

The Verge Review
The Good: Strong launch lineup, "Snapping" good for multi-tasking, Kinect voice commands can be powerful.
The Bad: Clunky TV integration, Uninspired design, Kinect voice commands are unreliable.
Score: 7.8

Videogamer.com Review
Day One Verdict: Console launches never go exactly to plan: there's always some hiccup (or 12) to contend with. At the moment, the Xbox One isn't blowing us away, but then again, bar Kinect, it's not doing much wrong. It's set itself some high standards, and it's not reaching them at the moment. But then again, that's not to say it won't.

Wired Review
Rating: 7 - Very good, but not quite great.


phew.

Re: Xbox One

Anyways...how about some more launch hype!

Yes, EXACTLY, he should just stick to that, not needed comments. Think I did not not research comments before posting. I know he has posted some good stuff as well, why not just stick to that? I can see you are a PlayStation man yourself, you both post a lot over there. So this might explain why you are coming to his defense, if he does not like my opinion then he can respond, no? I was just trying to state my opinion on keeping it constructive in here. This conversation should of been done a long time ago, was just making a opinion, not intended as a attack. I apologize if taken that way.

If I was planning on attacking you guys I would say something like this: "If PS4 is so good and perfect, then why bother posting in here?"

Also, I would like to say I hope everyone has a great gaming experience for whatever NG console they choose, PS4, Xbone, or both. That is what really matters.
