So? Just because they have been around for 5 years doesn't mean they can spout stupid shit and not get a ban from it.

This thread is an interesting discussion. Some good points were brought.
As for me, i really love the Xbox platform and i'm a multi console owner, XB1-PS4-Switch. Sadly this gen, i'm kinda disappointed with Microsoft's output in games and unique service, i'm talking stuff like "1 vs 100", summer arcade and Kinect.
The first two Xbox's, the Xbox and the 360, are some of my favorite consoles of all time. Microsoft did bring unique games, enough exclusive games and content and overall a rock solid experience in online and social.
It seems like this gen, Microsoft are still trying to find their groove. They still released some amazing games this gen, Killer Instinct, Forza Horizon, Sunset Overdrive and Gears 4... Their support for online is really better than the competition and backward compatibility is one of the best features this gen to me. I mean last gen, we had a lot of arcade games that i still love to play today and BC helps me keep my collection on current hardware which is fucking awesome. I'm playing Daytona USA on my XB1 and god damn this game is so good...
Honestly, i'm not sure Microsoft need to bring a title like Horizon or Zelda. That's not what it's all about. In my opinion, they need to differenciate themselfs from the competition in a clever way. Bring stuff that doesn't exist on other platforms. MS's strong aspect is online, then focus on bringing those unique games in a competitive addictive way, "1 vs 100" is one of those examples. They have Rare, put a team there to release some variety without a crazy budget, just some unique and different stuff. I believe Rare still got it and sadly MS don't seem to let them do whatever they want.
Anyway, hopefully Scorpio brings that hope back because the Xbox platform is really good and the potential is there. I mean after all these years, i still prefer to play with an Xbox One controller because it's still the best controller in the market right now, play on Xbox Live because it's the best online service, achievements, cloud syncs... their ecosystem is rock solid and works really well. They just need that little extra combined with a great marketing campaign and they're set.
Fingers crossed for a great E3 for MS...
"Basic gamers"??? WTF does that even mean???
One thing i think people always took for granted was that xbox always had a very powerful console. The OG xbox was more powerful than sonys, the 360 was designed in a way that games always ran better on 360. When you have that 'advantage' it might not seem important, but it really is. This is the only gen where their console is weaker than sonys and its the first time they really struggle this bad, other than their first console which is to be expected.
When you have the better HW, most people will play their multi-platform games on your platform. thats just how it is. Thats how i play my games and its how most people play their games. I always buy my multi-platform games on the console that will run them the best. So this time its on ps4. Last 2 generations, it was on xbox.
The hardwares power is extremely important. This time they thought they could pull a nintendo and cut on that a bit and it bit them right in the ass.
Honestly not really that funnyFunniest game related thing I've seen on GAF in five years holy shit I can't breathe

Fable reboot would be welcomed. There's so much I'm Breath of the Wild that I always wished Fable did.

I think part of the problem was Molyneux's attempt to do something innovative with each game. While I loved TLC and II, there was still missed potential there. They should have focused on rounding out the features that already existed while adding depth. Combat also needed improvement instead of being purely damage dealt, they should have introduced a combat puzzle.Yeah and now that Molyneux is out of the picture there would actually be a chance that those features actually get implemented instead of just bullshitted about.
Crackdown 3 should be open world with multiplayer and a completely destroyable enviornment. The ways to tackle objectives are probably endless. Seems to me like they are taking chances here no?I have high hopes for Crackdown. It's one of the best MS IPs imo, and it has the potential to be awesome.
That said, I don't think MS likes to take the kind of chances that Sony and Nintendo take, and so a game of this kind of scope and vision are less likely to come from them. Just a hunch.
Personal pref? A Perfect Dark open-world game involving tons of gadgets with which Joanna could approach scenarios. Huge sci-fi city to explore. I would play the shit out of an open-world Perfect Dark.
Lol, Xbox One is the console for basic owners and it is a red state console. Probably one of the dumbest and self-aggrandizing things I have read on GAF. Don't even give idiots like this the time of day.

That advantage did nothing vs PS2 and they tied with PS3.
MS big advantages last gen were price , games and when the system came out .
Power was a small part of that .
Also you do know that XB1 has sold more than Xbox so saying they struggle because there console weaker make no sense.
That's pretty much it. To argue that Microsoft has nothing this year is being ignorant at this point.MS did have an exclusive console release this quarter that by most accounts was pretty solid, and in a genre that isn't even super saturated. The issue seems to be more that people don't care than that they didn't do anything.
The sheer revisionism by people claiming Scalebound never looked interesting or good makes me sad.
Honest question about Scalebound that may never see an answer: did MS cancel it because they feared it was going to look closer to ME:A than Horizon? If so, should they have just released it anyway?
thanks man great first postScorpio
This, this, this.
Seriously, "please buy another $400 console" is not the answer to your competition's large, diverse game catalog.
I've said this as well. No amount of hardware can make up for their serious software deficiency. If anything it re-emphasizes it.
MS should be doubling down on growing their games library, not introducing more new hardware.
I agree. Good HW with no games wont help them. Heres hoping they have some aces up their sleeves.
At the same time, ps4 didnt have many exclusives for a long while and it didnt seem to hurt them all that much.
There are a lot of variables that go into that.I agree. Good HW with no games wont help them. Heres hoping they have some aces up their sleeves.

MS cancelled it because they had no interest in putting any more money into the project.
We will never know if scalebound was going to bee that good but it was the most interesting thing they had coming. At least for some of us.
Difference being peeps knew they'd come eventually just because of the amount of studio's under the WWS umbrella...

Yes, Microsoft have less first party studios. But can we stop pretending that they've got nothing in the works? Not to mention they've published several exclusives through partners this gen too. Who's to say there aren't more?
Let's see, Microsofts answer will be...
Forza 9. No maybe...
Gears 6. Or how about...
Halo 12. I've got it...
Scale... on no wait.
Nope I'm all out of sequels, although there is Crapdown 3.
I hope that's not aimed at me?
