Ori is good
Recore is an unfinished mess
Halo 5/gears 4 are more of those games.
Dead rising 3/4 are sucky versions of dead rising
Rare replay is good value
Ryse is launch window filler
Sunset overdrive is ok

Cant think if anymore games rn except forza

Sunset Overdrive has been my favourite GwG so far. Takes a bit of practice to master the parkour system, but when you do it feels awesome. I even found myself using it to travel after I had unlocked fast travel.

I actually enjoyed Dead Rising 3 but maybe because I played it co-op. I don't think it'd hold up well as a single player, since it's lacking alot of the things that made 1 & 2 great.

trash person: Apr 5, 2006; Baby Executive is pleased with your performance!

I put $100 down on the fuckin thing at GameStop. Will trade in one of my Xbox One S� for the $150 credit too.

Don�t even have a 4K tv yet lmao

gently caress it tho I�m gonna get one early next year. Might as well buy into this dumb half step poo poo now. And at least boost mode is at the system level so everything I play on Xbox will run better.

I preordered D2 and CoDWWII on PS4 so I guess the Xbox One X will be solely a Forza and Battlefront II machine Jesus I shouldn�t be allowed to have money

I'm bad with decisions.

It's great to see the Xbox thread is full of joy and hardly any talk about "just get it on PC, bro," and other arguments that sound like vinyl-only audiophiles but for video games. I'm not sure what you call those people anyway, because that kind of nonsense is absent from these forums and not a thing that happens.

Super chill.

Personally I have an Xbone, a Lenovo Y50 for gaming and a Macbook Pro for everything else. They all have upsides & downsides and I don't need a 60fps graphics nazi to tell me that. I just don't care.

I prefer the convenience of gaming on the Xbox and have a huge backlog for it thanks to GwG freebies. I just use the PC for RTS games, co-op games with my PC-only friends and random Steam games.

I'm with you man. I prefer the convenience of console gaming and don't care about the extra performance I'd get from PC. But the guy everyone was initially responding to said he had a decent PC and preferred playing on that and he also has a PS4, and just bought the Xbox for exclusives...which there are virtually none.

I havent turned my xbox on in months so Im not getting a 4k xbox to play on my 1080P non-LED LCD display.

though even if it was a pS4 I wouldnt have turned it on, there is just nothing worth playing these days.

Blind Rasputin: Nov 25, 2002; Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

If I have an Xbox and will definitely buy the xbox one x, is it worth getting a ps4 for the exclusive games like horizon zero dawn and uncharted and all? I probably wouldn't even use it for anything but games. The Xbox one x has good games coming out for it right?

Well, it's worth just for the exclusives. Horizon ZD, Uncharted, Bloodborne (seriously this), Nioh, Nier Automata, Yakuza 0 and Kiwami (out this month) and Persona 5 if you are into JRPGs. More coming in 2018. 2017 is been amazing so far and still more to come.

I still prefer xboxox

And I'm glad this thing sold out when I was out of country this weekend because I might have been tempted to pre-order even though I have a new PC with every good xbox game on it already.

Still hoping it does well because I am a tech whore and want consoles to keep up.

They wont keep up, none of them actually care about performance specs

The x is continuing the jaguar cpu line that keeps most games locked at 30 fps.

Well there's no going back now. Dropped another $91 on some cheap games on Amazon.

Sunset Overdrive
Halo 5
Gears of War Ultimate Edition
Dead Rising
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition
Pacman Championship Edition 2

Put Halo Collection, Ezio Collection, Gears of War 4, Dead Rising 4, Rare Replay, and Minecraft Super Plus Pack & Lego Worlds (for the kid) in my wish list to wait for them to get cheap. I don't pay more than $19.99 for games. Unless it's Dark Souls or Sniper Elite at launch.

Can't wait to play some games on my XBOX One X and also conceal this frivolous waste of $600+ with taxes from the Mrs.

Yeah, especially Bloodborne and Nier. Is a ps4 good enough or would a ps4 pro make an actual difference?

Bloodborne doesn't have an actual PS4 Pro patch but does benefit from Boost Mode and smooths out a few chunks where framerate got iffy.

Nier does have a Pro patch and its PC version is pretty broken.

In all cases the vanilla PS4 runs the games fine, though.

Xbonx exists because everyone is all up ons the 4K. Consumers want 4K, so Microsoft told the xbox division to make an xbox that can technically play a 4K game.

Thanks for the heads up.

Guess I'll pick it up since it's $11 on Amazon for the Day One Edition. It's still $20 on Steam.
