I thought Halo and Gears of War was the legitimate reason to buy an Xbox One..

I bought mine with Halo and Forza in mind and I do love those games with a passion, However if I could now peform some sort of "quantum break" of my own, I'd go back in time and buy a ps4...

Loktai3305d ago

Hey, could use your time to work some OT and just buy one. ;)

lfc_4eva3305d ago

Make sure you have two jobs before buying ;-)

Irishguy953305d ago (Edited 3305d ago )

I also regret buying an Xbone.

Scalebound, Bloodborne. Literally the only two reasons to own either console for me. And scalebound ain't even proven itself. It oculd turn out **** too.

I can see people will moan about Quantum breaks length, but if we look through their history I wonder what they said when that piece of **** the order came out.

The two consoles have had underwhelming releases in general. Halo 5 for me wasn't that good, just average. Kilzone shadowfall was meh, Ryse sucked, Infamous second son was a let down. The list goes on with mediocrity. And even if I had bought another PC, not much exclusives there.

Thus we are left with the multiplats. Which yet again have dominated proving the exclusive war a waste of well, everything.

basically...Whichever console you get:

Xbox live has better 'free' games right now. Than Ps+
Ps4 has a good VR system coming out soon.
The majority of your time will be spent on multiplats.

Shit generation so far to be honest.
Edit:

Well, not really fair to say generation...

I really liked

The witcher 3
Dying light
Rocket league
Fallout 4
Titanfall was okay, it simply needs..more features

Things I WILL enjoy
Bloodborne(I love all souls games)
Xenoblade X

I'm looking forward to
Scalebound
Horizon Zero dawn
Dishonored 2
Crackdown 3
FFXV
FF7 Remake
No mans sky
MGS5 was okay but a bit of a let down
Uncharted, even though its more the same(Would prefer a new IP or else Last of us 2, new IP preferred because ND can do new ips and make them feel...'new')

Crimzon3305d ago

Yup, Irishguy95 pretty much summed-up this generation perfectly. I don't have an Xbox One so can't comment on the quality of exclusives but on the PS4 yeah, it's absolute garbage aside from Bloodborne. It's completely different from last generation where the exclusives were the cream of the crop and real reasons to actually own hardware.

EddieNX 3305d ago (Edited 3305d ago )

@Irish I agree ! I do like my XBone and I think the controller is a LOT better than Ps4's . I will probably soon trade my XB and get a PS4 so I don't miss out on exclusives. I want a PsVR as well...

3305d ago
candystop3305d ago

I agree with Irish guy and really hope that UC, crackdown 3 and gears do something that amazes me. I'm currently checking out VR with my Samsung gear and can't find 1 game that satisfies my appetite. Games are coming to other devices as well as this one but I do feel gaming has sort of sucked lately. I'm currently only playing RB6 from time to time along with gems of wars and that's it.

EddieNX 3305d ago (Edited 3305d ago )

@Haydothepotato. The Ps4 has some killer exclusives coming all fanboy prejudce aside. I'm a Nintendo fan. With better performing multiplats, Better exclusives an PsvR maybe it would be the best thing for me to do. The coolest thing for me to do will to get an NX on launch day .

There is a lot I like about my XB one so I might end up with a PS4 an Xbox one and NX together. Tempting but a bit OTT

They are. and always will be. Include Forza too.

Gaming4Life19813305d ago

halo and gears was enough and quantum break just adds to the library.

WilliamSheridan3305d ago

They ARE reasons to buy an Xbox and this is yet another one.

Both systems have great exclusives this gen. I think it makes sense to get both systems.

BlackTar1873305d ago

Why would anyone disagree with this post. I know I'm a Sony fan but the core of me is a gamer first as it should be for anyone who visits a dedicated hobby site for video games. On top of it all remedy is damn good at making games.

WilliamSheridan3304d ago

The fanboy hate is real on this site. I've tested it out...

If I comment pro Microsoft, I lose bubbles and get reported.

If I commitment pro Sony, I gain bubbles and praise.

Comment supporting both, it's just as bad as being pro Microsoft.

This gen has a really different feel than any other I've experienced.

Haru3304d ago

What exclusives? Quantum break Scalebound Gears 4 and Forza are all coming to PC, You can't say the same thing about Uncharted 4 Ratchet and Clank Dreams The last Guardian Horizon zero at dawn and Gran turismo tho can you?

Prubar3305d ago

On its own? Depends on who you talk to. But throw in KI, Halo, Sunset overdrive and it's a no brainer.

mark_parch3304d ago

the best console exclusives this gen for me are bloodborne, killer instinct, forza horizon 2, ori and the blind forest, titanfall and tomb raider (timed). games that I think are ok halo 5, sunset overdrive, infamous and quantum break

ScorpiusX3305d ago

Their is no issue with more choices . lol

DonkeyWalrus3305d ago

In my opinion Halo is no longer a good reason to own an Xbox as the quality of Halo titles has gone way down. As a long time Halo fan, Halo 4 and 5 were both major disappointments. Not happy with most of 343's decisions and not interested in Halo 6, or whatever they end up calling it.

CaptainObvious8783304d ago

Umm, is everyone being deliberately stupid here?

QB is not an exclusive. It doesn't matter how good the game is, I can play it on my PC so it isn't a reason to own an xbone.

sammarshall1023304d ago

No beast PC in my home

It's exclusive in my situation along with many others ;)

DLConspiracy3303d ago

Then I'm sure you never buy multiplat titles on either console? As you should only play them on PC right?

Saijahn3304d ago

Halo 5 is mediocre honestly, and Gears of War 4 hasn't been released yet.

Gazondaily3304d ago

Halo 5 and its MP puts so many shooters to shame this gen.

Utalkin2me3304d ago (Edited 3304d ago )

@AngelicIceDiamond

Talking about people giving miss info. Maybe you should play the game before spouting wrong information. There is only 1 ending.

Phar0ahad33304d ago (Edited 3304d ago )

Inly difference is the Order is a better game...more intriguing, better looking, better acting, better story, more original weapons...

3-4-53304d ago

* I already own a XB1 but this game doesn't interest me at all.

I'm waiting for E3.

Don't need the same games such as Halo, Gears or Forza to sell the X1 they need something new and I fully back new and different. For years I've been tired of the same ol' games running Xbox. Nope, its time for a change up and I welcome change.

So how about Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Ori, D4, Sunset Overdrive, Killer Instinct, Max and the Curse of the Brotherhood

Hoffmann3305d ago

Nah thank you..its not a reason to buy an xb1..but I might pick it up on pc someday.

AngelicIceDiamond3305d ago

Well yoy never planned, or ever planning on buying an Xbox anyway no matter what games release on it. So I don't know what you're trying to say.

Sciurus_vulgaris3305d ago

It is weird how the people most concerned about Xbox and it's games are the ones that hate the console the most. Also when Xbox games come to PC, magically the 'concerned' gamers suddenly have gaming PCs and interest in franchises they previously trashed. I still have play Quantum and have yet to form an opinion of the game.

3305d ago
Hoffmann3304d ago

That is not true.

I buy game consoles depending on the games. Thats why I had an xbox before and also Nintendo consoles. The current xbox just does not have anything I really "need" to have yet.

TheGreatGamer3305d ago

I doubt any game Microsoft release will ever convince fanboys like you to pick up the competition's console. Alas, if only everyone could see the benefits of owning all consoles.

rdgneoz33305d ago

If you have a good PC and it comes out on the PC (like Quantum), the only reason to "pick up the competition's console" is from a sh!tty port.

tuglu_pati3305d ago

"If you have a good PC..."

you see that's the thing, not everyone has a a PC capable of playing this games.

cooperdnizzle3304d ago

@tuglu_pati

That is why he said "if" People sometimes.

starchild3305d ago

Maybe not a reason for you, but it might be a reason for those that like the game.

Magnes3305d ago

Wow AngieD is in attack mode cool your jets, just because they don't share your opinion you don't get to dismiss them sheeesh.

AngelicIceDiamond3304d ago

Fanboys only have one opinion. Clearly Hoff....nvm no point in explaining. You can't see it.

Magnes3304d ago

@angelic Honestly I do see it but I watch you do this damage control in these type of article's all the time. Let em have their say you have yours the down votes speak more than you filling up the comment section letting them bait you in.

AngelicIceDiamond3304d ago

@Magnes No damage control, I just have a problem with fanboys talkin trash about a game they have no interest in or ever planning on picking up, ever. Breaking up the comment section with their fanboyism. How come I can't talk about this game or any other Xbox game in, well, semi peace at least like the other platforms. The other consoles don't get this much hate especially ps articles.

Downvotes don't mean much. When you express excitement or praise about a game the fanboys will come in and downvote you. Exhibit A. http://n4g.com/news/1885786...

Naw there's no bait, its simply shutting them down because its childish behavior. And you'll see them again when more Xbox games release. That's the nature of it I can't even have a decent discussion on here. Don't say its constructive criticism either (far, far from it) when you KNOW they're the offense force.

I have the game now and I'm pretty early into it its ok so far. But since I've played it fanboys opinions are really gonna be redundant, pointless, because I played it and they haven't, and never will so all that talk is just loud noise like nails to a chalk board. This is fanboys we're talking about here why am I explaining this? Just flip the scenario and maybe you'll understand a little better.

DLConspiracy3303d ago

If you own a single multiplat game on your PS4 then you would have just proved yourself wrong. As you only buy multiplat games for PC.

TheGreatGamer3305d ago

Not everyone can (1) afford a capable gaming PC or (2) get into PC gaming and prefer simplicity of consoles. Therefore, it's still a legitimate reason to get an Xbox One for many.

Xx_Pistol_xX3305d ago

If you can buy a 300-400 dollar console you can buy a PC.

DonkeyWalrus3305d ago

Pistol it's not as simple as just buying a PC. PC gaming requires more upkeep and general technical knowledge. The reason a lot of people prefer consoles is because with a console you just plug it right in and can expect any game you buy for that console to work. With PC you have to make sure you're meeting at least the minimum recommended specs, you have to make upgrades more frequently, it's just a bit more complicated than console gaming.

Also, how does being able to afford a $300-400 console mean one could afford a high end PC rig capable of running all the latest games at high graphical settings?

Magnes3305d ago

I'm pretty sure you don't need a killer rig to play xb1 games like QB.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

Read Full Story >>
technabob.com
GamerRN405d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit405d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead405d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica404d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL404d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit404d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash404d ago (Edited 404d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer405d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit405d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer405d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit404d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183405d ago (Edited 405d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer405d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183404d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper404d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal405d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood405d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183404d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde405d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion421d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer421d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion421d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning77421d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer420d ago (Edited 420d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw421d ago (Edited 421d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder421d ago (Edited 421d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing421d ago (Edited 421d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai421d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well

15 games on FIFTEEN pages? That's a NO from me.

Superliminal
Antichamber
Manifold Garden
Portal & Portal 2
The Stanley Parable
Monument Valley
Gorogoa
Thumper
Inscryption
Q.U.B.E. 2
Darq
Quantum Break
Perspective
Inside
The Swapper

IamTylerDurden1718d ago (Edited 718d ago )

I think Inscryption is the best game on that list. PT and Returnal i would offer. Returnal deserves a spot over some of the listed games. Especially after chapter 3. Maybe even Alice MR? Death Stranding? Kojima all together. To much smaller degree Dead Space. I'm spitballing.

I didn't play Thumper enough to see beyond the visual spectacle. Curious choice.

SullysCigar717d ago (Edited 717d ago )

I'd add FEAR and RE7 (when Ethan starts getting visions, especially in the boat) to that list.

Edit: and Here They Lie
