With so much negativity surrounding the Xbox One, at least one person isn't moaning about the console's extra features.
Games Asylum: "Even those outside the US will have noticed the American government’s actions bleeding into their subconsciousness. Just by scrolling social media, glancing over newspapers, listening to radio, or flicking through TV channels, you’ll inevitably catch wind of current news concerning US political parties, especially in the run-up to elections. This bleeds into video games too, with various presidents making novelty appearances over the years, and frequent digs at the government as a whole."
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "It’s a disheartening game that is tedious, seemingly random and honestly runs so terribly slowly on console. I Am Your President is trying to poke fun at the establishment and probably provide some spoof-esque humor, but the delivery is underbaked, flat and just a slog. For Americans, unless you’re already a zealot about the elephant or the donkey, this isn’t going to ingratiate the political circuit to you any further. If you’re from outside the U.S., I cannot imagine the appeal of this game in any capacity. If it’s something you’re truly curious about, grab it on PC when the price drops, but a Gerald Ford simulator on my Mountain Dew Box is the most assbackwards thing I’ve done this year."
I like the features of Xb1 and hope MS kills that locking software to users name/used fee idea
Its all about games.
What games to you want to play the sequels too: Halo, Gears and Fable etc or LBP, Uncharted and Killzone etc?
Its that simple.
People might try to belittle your preference or choice but at the end of the day it doesn't matter. As long as you get fun and enjoyment out of it, who cares?
The XBOX one in my honest opinion is a very bad console. Why? It locks the players from too much and has lost its focus.
i want to be open minded about this. I really do. I enjoyed the last few years with both my 360 and ps3. At this point the ps4 is a no brainer for me, as a console gamer not having a ps4 feels wrong.
now as far as the xbox1, i'm not so sure. You see most of my friends game on the 360. My personal social gaming experience is richer on the 360. If those friends go with the xbox1 then that would be my biggest draw towards the console.
so that's the deal for me personally:
ps4 = rich gaming experiences
xbox1 = where my friends are
I am lucky enough to be able to afford both, but i can see how if one had to choose one over the other then on a purely gaming level the PS4 seems to be the better option.
As a Xbox player and a small PS3 I can say I'm frustrated by this "entertainment system". I probably going to switch into PS4 but I'll wait until E3 and check up on some other things to make a decision.
