anyone excited for halo
Imo Microsoft really has nothing to worry about, most of the exclusives it has are pretty fun
Also from the beta of Halo 5 is gonna be p.fun
>inb4 snowy
if they survive it's only a testament to how much consumers will put up with as long as there is one "killer app."
I'm rooting for them, as the more competition the better.

the nintendo thread is the other way
I thought the Halo 5 beta was pretty awful. It's just a CoD clone at this point. Only a few of the exclusives I thought were fun tbh, but I'm having fun with the Master Chief Collection with a friend.

halo will be good but i can't think of anything else to get for the xbux
Halo is literally the only reason xbox sold in the first place. Like if the original xbox didn't have hali we probably wouldn't have had a 360
Thats pretty impressive though when you think about it. One game sold many systems. but then again....
you have one must-have game, and imo halo is hardly must-have. it is a good game though
The older Halo games are fantastic. Halo 4... not as much. The multiplayer was pretty fun for a bit but the story wasn't anything to go nuts for. Playing Halo 3 and Halo Reach with some of my friends will always be some of my favorite memories.
plus there was little competition for halo besides the solid FPS games on PC at the time of Xbox and 360.
nowadays there are a handful of mediocre FPS games available and the new Halo games aren't close to killer apps anymore, just decent games.

[spoiler]the xbone could drop its price to $299 and then it'd still only barely outsell the ps4. and nowhere near makeup for the nonexistent market it has in europe and the rest of the world[/spoiler]

the xbox one lacks so much in the game department that people can't even talk about that so they have to complain about unimportant issues

why does it look worse?
that's what we're all wondering
apparently some sacrifices had to be made to get gears running at 1080p/60fps, even on a self-proclaimed """next gen""" platform
Yay 60 fps bassir;

lote, have you played halo 4? i was looking at halo 5 and thinking about maybe buying an xbone if i could find one cheap enough for it, but as i was watching it i got this gut wrenching feeling that it just doesn't look like halo any more. a lot of it was similar, but it was similar in that uncanny way, it honestly looked more like republic commando than halo 1-3.

this platform is dead, isn't it
the scorpio will be the last dedicated gaming hardware release from microsoft, they seem to be losing interest in developing their own high-quality exclusives or contracting third parties to make exclusives for them
i think that's why they've suddenly taken an 'all future exclusives also available on pc' approach
they know they don't actually have much in the way of exclusives to lose, and it allows them to gradually fold all their gaming efforts back into windows and leave the hardware space behind, without outright saying that the xbox experiment is finished
a venn diagram of ps4 and xbone libraries would show the ps4 almost completely encircling the xbox

literally, the only games that make me keep the xbox one around is Ori (which is technically on PC but...) and Sunset Overdrive.
Rock Band 4 too I guess, since all my previous stuff was on 360.
Everything else is on PS4, I just bought them on XBONE for no real reason.

i dunno if we can say scorpio will be their last ever, but i think scorpio is now it's own NEXT GEN console and not just a xbone.5; i would imagine it will have full xbone compatibility built into it as to not piss the shit off their base tho.
to be real though, while they are cross polinating xbone and PC now, their PC support thus far has been just as pathetic, if not moreso, than GFWL. i don't think they're gonna dump xbox support entirely for that because they may as well just chop their own dicks off
Guys this is video games discussion can we please stick to talking about consoles that have video games to discuss

i'm surprised you don't own rare rapelay
xboners frantically gesture towards that one when spouting off their few meager "exclusives", desperately clinging to the hope that maybe one day rare will develop a good new original game lol
i think 15 years later it's fair to say that microsoft completely wasted that purchase, huh
but honestly, i do hope that microsoft isn't seriously considering abandoning the xbox platform in the long term
even modest competition is a wonderful thing and completely unchallenged sony domination of the console industry would be a disaster for everyone awdood;
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-game-pass
this is kinda cool tho too bad i dont own an xbone and i own every single game worth having on the 360
WAIT WUT
"Xbox Game Pass will only be available on Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. While some Xbox 360 backwards compatible games will be included in Xbox Game Pass, those titles will not be available on the Xbox 360 console via your subscription."
i'm assuming this probably just means games that have inate windows 10 compatibility (i.e. gears ultimate) are playable on windows, but pucker my asshole if they are bringing other things over

i do own rare replay, but I guess I don't consider that essential, since its all old games I could theoretically own on different machines.
Also, I did forget about Killer Instinct

lmao what? Sunset is hot garbage. No one is sticking around for that.
whatever you say.
the scorpio's specs were revealed and nobody cared
just one of many examples of how dire the situation is for the xbox :(
i mean they barely did anything but show the guts and some forza screenshots, there's little to get excited about unless you're a guts nerd. i want to see how games look comparatively running on the damn thing, especially the 360 game upgrades they touted, and most importantly, i want to know the price as it sounds like its probably going to be $499.99. it just wasn't a very good reveal lol not to say that things aren't dire
lol i just bid 350 on a xbox one s with like every game worth having for the damn thing (minus rare replay which is like another 10er) wish me luck boyah
or don't i really dont care if i win or not tbh im just feelin' wild today
mostly i did this cuz i wanna put my 360 in storage and i wanna use the pass through to stream to my pc as a shitty elgato basically and i wanna play through all the halos cuz im gay
mostly i just cant see myself ever buying a scorpio over a ps4 pro anyway so fuck it dawg life's a risk
did yu getit
naw i lost by one bidder lol i probably coulda reclaimed it for victory around 300 bucks but i realized id rather buy other things this month lel

Like PC components? hocuspocus;
basically lol, might buy my modular PSU today infact and see if that fixes some of my gripes with my mobo (a usb 3.0 slot seems to not work and the thing won't restart, only hard shutdown, which might be related to not having power somewhere...oops)
that said there is a target about 30 minutes away according to brickseek that still has the 500 gb halo 5/misterchief collection bundle on mega clearance for 150; might give them a jingle and see if they actually still have that or if its a stock error and if they do i might grab it this weekend.
i really dont know why i want a shitbox one but i cant be damned to plug in my 360 ya know and i wanna play that hot R A R E R E P L A Y (literally number 1 pull for the damn thing for me lel)
