Are either of those 200-250$ cause Im not buying an xbone for my collection til it hits that price point and that would be most likely 200$ ranger.

DialgaMarine2115d ago

Get a decent PC if you don’t already have one. If you do have one, don’t bother. Most useless console ever at that point.

TheSplooge2115d ago

Sorry that Microsoft hurt your feelings. They'll still enjoy your money either way 😉

DialgaMarine2115d ago (Edited 2115d ago )

Hurt my feelings? No, just dissapointed me as a former Xbone S owner. I don’t give two shits about paying them for a product; it’s just sad to see them abuse a brand so badly, and sorry little corporate shills like yourself continue to be okay with it.

The 10th Rider2115d ago

The PC market isn't the best right now and there's often sales where you can get an Xbox One S with a game for under $200. Someone would be better off buying an S during a sale and then picking up a PC in a year or two than to pick up a PC now, unless they're interested in the other aspects of a PC.

DialgaMarine2115d ago

Eh, I’m enjoying the hell out of mine. Bought Cuphead and Planet Coaster on Steam recently, and having fun on those. Probably gonna get PUBG through Steam as well.

Kokyu2115d ago (Edited 2115d ago )

You missed the part where I said for my collection I have ever console Ive ever owned since 1984. I need one for my collection also the fact it plays 4k blu ray is nice too. I recently built a PC for my buddy to stream and play games on but I built my first pc in 1994.

The 10th Rider2115d ago

@DialgaMarine,

I'm not looking at it from a games perspective. I'm talking from a cost perspective. RAM is like 3 times the cost of what it was two years ago. GPUs are still more expensive than they were a few years back. Someone could easily buy an Xbox One S now for less than $200 and in a year or two GPU and RAM prices should be back to normal and they'll get a better bang for their buck and they will have a PC that should be set to run games throughout all of next gen. They can buy the digital copies of first party games that are play anywhere and they'll transfer over to the PC library. On top of that it comes with a controller that will be great to use on the PC and it'll still work as a 4K Bluray player.

I'm a huge fan of PC gaming, the market for it is just really bad right now. Three or four years ago I would have recommend buying/building a PC over any console. Nowadays it's definitely worth waiting a year or two.

VINNIEPAZ2115d ago

Feel better now knowing Sony loves you so so deeply?

DialgaMarine2115d ago

LMAO! I’m here defending PC, and you bring up Sony. Makes sense.

Chris122115d ago

Xbox troll calls others shills. DialgaMarine, the ultimate Sony diehard shill speaks.....

Skull5212115d ago (Edited 2115d ago )

PUBG bundle needs a disclaimer that it causes addiction similar to meth.

Prince_TFK2115d ago

Maybe for you, but not for the 35 million+ who had bought it.

gangsta_red2114d ago

Marine has conjured up a magical PC from the dark realms.

DialgaMarine2114d ago

@Gangsta Oh, it’s real. Nothing amazing, but it gets the job done enough to where I can play every Xbox “exclusive” without having to buy anything Xbox lol

Bobafret2114d ago

Funny, I have decent gaming rig and all I play on it is the new BattleTech, otherwise I use my Xbox One X. Not everyone prefers the same things. You will learn this when your balls drop.

jznrpg2115d ago (Edited 2115d ago )

I was going to get one at the end of the gen when it was 200 but unfortunately there isn’t anything worth playing besides Ori and Killer instinct and I played Ori on my friends laptop who had it already. I got Ori for my PC really cheap . Since they are supposed to backwards compatible maybe I will buy one in 5-7 years when they might have more than 2 games worth buying

paintedgamer19842115d ago

Agreed, basically everything can be played on pc or a xb1 from 2013 (which are like 100-150 used online).

The 10th Rider2115d ago

If you keep an eye out for deals S bundles drop below $200 often enough.

V10Elit3x2115d ago (Edited 2115d ago )

Good prices, but I already had an Xbox S and sold it to get a X. Regretting every single day that I bought an X. Havent bought a single game since Forza 7.

DialgaMarine2115d ago

I’m thankful I’ve yet to even feel tempted to waste my money on one.

Immorals2115d ago

I bought an x after I got my 4k TV and am very happy with my purchase. Everything is more snappy and HDR makes a life and day difference

V10Elit3x2115d ago

I also have 4K HDR OLED 65" tv from LG, yeah but my friends are playing on Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4, and that makes Xbox One X irrelevant for me.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2115d ago

I have the opposite problem, Bought a Day One X1 in 2013, been playing it, bought a PS4 Pro and an X, beat HZD and GOW and that is literally all I have played on it... I don't regret it though, because Exclusives!

TGGJustin2115d ago

Oh yeah yet another Minecraft bundle and a bundle of a game with the X that they've been giving away free with a purchase for 6 months now. Trust me PUBG will really show people they made a good $500 investment with it's terrible graphics and sub 30FPS.

Then again when you have no exclusives you'll throw anything out there in a bundle.

.... from the 2000s (mostly).

shinoff218336d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Cacabunga36d ago

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1

Inverno36d ago

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name36d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno36d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno36d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure35d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX55d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
