Where were you when Microshit finally killed one of its best

>>377822929
Im suprised that phil spencer hasn't been fired yet for shooting the xbox brand to the foot so many times.

Not playing GoW4. That's what they get for trying to make exclusives in these times.

Gears of War games were always bad. I remember playing the first one at a friends house and just being completely confused how anyone could find it fun.

Gears Of War 1: cover shooting is cool and new.

Gears Of War 2-4: cover shooting is boring and you can easily spot each mini-arena with a dozen or so chest high walls in the single player game.

>>377823528

>>377826220
I mean, I have all the systems + PC except xbone and everything on the xbone is on PC except halo which I play on my friend's xbone so it doesn't seem like I'm missing out on much

>>377826348
the xbone is far worse than the ps4 and even the goddamn switch. The switch has more worthwhile exclusives in its first year than the xbone has in its entire library. There are more versions of xbone than worthwhile exclusive games on the system

>b-but excluvies don't matter

yes they fucking do when it comes to consoles, otherwise I can just play on my PC. Other than that consoles are good for local play WHICH THEY ALSO FUCKED UP BY NOT PUTTING IN HALO 5 (don't know if they ever added it later)

The entirety of the xbone from its inception to current day has been an absolute disaster, from the hilarious 2013 E3 shitshow to the multiple caned games

>>377823462
Dedicated servers are expensive to host.

It's why every game should have a p2p option for when it gets too old.

>>377823447
Microsoft is the one committing suicude.

>>377823309

he's literally there to be the relatable gamer ceo to damage control microsofts exit from the gaming console market after people just shelled out 400 dollars for something they immediately dropped support for after it sold horribly.

Yep, but dedicated servers should be standard in any online game until the point at which they become a large economic drain.

>>377823835
>Gears Of War 1: cover shooting is cool and new.
Gears of War wasn't popular because of cover shooting though, it took off because of the multiplayer which had an advanced movement system where you could abuse the slide into cover feature to navigate the maps at high speed and close in to shotgun distance.

I am willing to bet some employee with access to the twitter account has a kid who shitposts here who got onto the twitter account to make this post.

I hope your dad smashes all your video games.

i hate to be the one to tell you, but the mass market doesn't seem to be too excited about the xbone anon.

>>377831001
Fucking this. I'll defend this game's multiplayer to death. There's just a layer of skill you have to hit before it becomes fun.

>>377830885
It offers me and millions of users hours of entertainment on a daily basis so you're objectively wrong.

hours of entertainment which can be found on other systems while those systems also offer far more

I don't care if you enjoy the Xbone but on an objective scale it's the worst console, if you sucked up your pride or had enough money for a ps4 and PC you would sell your xbox

>>377822929
>>377823309
I used to despite the Xshit brand and everything cancerous Microsoft has spawned in the video games industry in the past 16+ years, but this actually make me feel pity for all Xbutts.
I've rarely seen such despicable abuse and abandonment of a fan-/customer base than what Microshit has done with the Xbox brand.

Thus said, I hope Microsoft eats shit and kills their Xbox brand forever.

yup, which is why I said ps4 and PC, not or

so you have halo 5 to argue against all the other exclusives available on ps4/PC

What makes you think Microsoft cares about Xbox hardware?

They only created the Xbox to prevent Sony from stealing developers away from the DirectX platform and PC gaming. Sony is no longer a threat to them, Apple and other smartphone manufacturers are.

>>377823528

Free marketing. Such news quickly spreads and then the update gets spread as well and now people talk about a game franchise that hasn't been relevant in a long time.

>>377827107
/v/ is the worst with this shit. I remember when the xbone was revealed and a thread with the title "MS expects to sell 1 billion xbones" was made, the problem was the op linked an article which clearly quoted MS as saying "we expect a billion consoles (all consoles) to be sold this gen." didn't stop 405 replies, 108 images thread of /v/ shitting on MS for something that didn't happen.

Probably because everyone here is addicted to schadenfraude and shitposting to the point where discussions is impossible.

>>377831298
who is this cutie on the box art

>>377837839
/ourgirl/

>>377825959
Honestly, its because so much time has passed that most Xbone users weren't even around during the scandal. They don't even know what it is, and if you were to tell them, they probably wouldn't believe you. The anti popularity cycle has looped back into itself now. PS4's were bought out of spite for the scandal, and now Xbone's are bought out of spite for the PS4's success in sales.

>>377838335
what was the scandal? you mean the e3 reveal eith all that drm shit?

>>377831781
How much of that is uncompressed audio?

If this was 2003, I'd bet my ass some pirate group would make a working 300MB rip of that.

>>377838689
Yes. Most Xbone users I have talked to haven't heard about it. Hell, most of them don't believe it when I tell them about it:
>"So yeah, Microsoft planned to have the Xbox One where it can't use used games, and has to be connected to the internet for 12 at a time to work, and you could only play on it for a 1 hour off line. But fans complained enough to make them change this."

I thought the whole point of Xbones' THE CLOUD was that servers would dynamically allocate resources based on a game server's demands, so you would never need to 'shut' off a games servers for that generation.

>>377839873
As someone who was an early adopter of the Xbone, "the cloud" was a massive faggoty meme that never materialized. Nothing on Xbone noticeably uses cloud storage for anything besides saves, so it's basically just another form of DRM. Crackdown 3 never.

Xbone was a mistake, honestly.
