Hello to you whoever is reading this blog and thank you for your time. Before I get into the subject of why I wrote this please read it before giving me any labels. Now the reason I'm writing this is because either no one has noticed or they have and don't care but I think it's time to same something. Now, personally, this doesn't effect me and I don't care because I don't really game on Xbox I've always been a PlayStation guy and I respect people who prefer Xbox but I still feel the need to get my opinion out and see what people have to say.
On to the subject. 2015 has passed and it's a new year, and everyone(myself included) are eagerly waiting new games that we hope don't get delayed. Now last year towards the end the community forums were loaded with people debating on who had the better exclusive line up between the Xbox and PS4. Even though anyone with logic would assume the obvious( Xbox gamers say Xbox and PS gamers say PS4) there was still some pretty heavy arguments. Now when people debated a lot of PS gamers called out MS for having no BIG games for the first nine months of the year except for remastered as and indies, whereas PS had Bloodborne, MLB, The Order, and Until dawn. And Xbox gamers called out Sony for having no games during the holidays but remastered and indies, whereas they had Halo and Forza. Now one thing I took notice was that Xbox gamers looking at MS line up for 2016 they were sure MS wouldn't repeat the same mistake and would have BIG games throughout the year. I said to myself "cool, have fun Xbox guys, hopefully Sony has BIG games in the holidays next year".
Fast forward to this year after the unfortunate news of Scalebound being delayed and Recore comfirmed coming to PC. MS released a list of exclusives for their platform. Now the list could change over time but their list included Gears 4, Halo Wars 2, Quantum Break, Crackdown 3, Recore, Sea of Thieves and anticipated indies. Now I noticed that Sea of Thieves and Recore both lost their spring release date for a generic 2016 date. Leaving just QB as the only BIG Xbox game for the first four months where Sony has R&C, MLB, and UC4. Now before people say "what about KI season 3 or fable legends" I'm only talking exclusives., KI season 3 is DLC and fable legends is on PC which means it's not exclusive. Same thing applies to games like SF5 and such. Now there's no way MS is gonna announce a BIG exclusives in the upcoming months but BIG game exclusive wise, Xbox looks pretty dry for the first few months like last yet and Sony has a few BIG games for the first half. Now Sony could very well have a repeat of last year with a dry holiday season, we don't know but we're not talking about the holiday season which is months away, we're talking about now. Like the title says MS 2016 line up is looking like 2015 again so far with very few BIG games first half of the year and Sony having a decent first half.
Now like I said it doesn't affect me but that doesn't mean I want Xbox gamers to be dry of exclusives. And I also want the opinion of other people especially on the xbox gamers who said MS would have games throughout the year, I wanna know their stance and how they feel so far about this. This isn't a fanboy article just an opinion, so don't light the torches. Have a great year gaming and let's have our fingers crossed that our most anticipated games don't get delayed.....AGAIN -_-
Square Enix has been expanding its multiplatform releases, including Final Fantasy XVI. A port for the Nintendo Switch 2 may be on the menu.
Star admits he may have "misled" fans
Damn, I was hoping for an updated patch. Well let’s see if the rumors are still true, that it’s coming to Switch 2. There’s still hope……I hope
Reports indicate that early copies of Kojima Productions' action-adventure game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, are out in the wild.
Awesome. But I think I'll go 60 fps and better res personally. But we'll see. About 2 days to go for me
I didn't play DS1 until last year as it just didn't look like my thing at all, but I'm all in now, surprisingly enjoyed it and this is going to be even better I bet.
It’s a slow start, but when you start seeing other players creation to help you deliver it’s so much fun.
Please forgive any spelling mistakes. This is my first blog I hope to improve in the future. Again thank you for reading
That's the truth. Not to mention that Quantium Break has a big chance of being a flop too.
Is this allowed?
LOL...are you sure this isnt fanboy article?
"Leaving just QB as the only BIG Xbox game for the first four months where Sony has R&C, MLB, and UC4."
"Now like I said it doesn't affect me but that doesn't mean I want Xbox gamers to be dry of exclusives. And I also want the opinion of other people especially on the xbox gamers who said MS would have games throughout the year"
for someone not affected by it you sure do have a lot to say about it....I dont think xbox gamers were this concerned that they had to write a blog about it when there were ZERO big exclusives on PS4 during the fall but ok, Ill bite....
Im not bothered about the lack of "big" games in the first few months of this year. means I finally get around to playing RoTR and fallout 4. I havent touched neither yet because FM6, halo 5, FH2, neverwinter, elite:dangerous,SMITE my closed betas of gigantioc and fable:legends and the digital deluxe version of SSOD ( how many oif those can you play on your PS4?) have been taking up my time and Im still deeply engrossed in these games. They will keep me occupied until QB, inside, below, cuphead, ashen, project solus, recore and crackdown 3 show up...and in between those I still have some great third party games to look forward too, like the division and DIRT rally.
But let me guess....Im supposed enjoy some of those games less because they also happen to be on PC? should PS4 fans be less enthusiastic about street fighter 5, the witness and no mans sky, then? or does that not quite so neatly fit into the agenda behind your post?
"I also want the opinion of other people especially on the xbox gamers who said MS would have games throughout the year, I wanna know their stance and how they feel so far about this."
lol at the fake concern...you want to hear from an xbox gamer? Ok...This probably isnt the answer you was hoping for, but Im happy with my preferred console. I love the games that are currently out..games like halo and forza have a way of making the time pass, especially when they are accompanied by other great games. I dont care about what is on PC. if we really go there...most people dont even own a PC with descent enough specs, to play these games at descent setting at even 30FPS...but thats none of my concern anyway. only what I can enjoy on my xbox.Im happy with the games that are coming out..and as for delays...shit happens. Its not like MS had us waiting seven years for a game ( the last guardian) only for it to show up looking like an up rezzed x360 game...
PS fanboys and their..."conern" for xbox gamers....N4G is a funny place for sure...
I clearly wrote its and opinion piece, I don't see what's so fanboy about it. I was only stating facts, which apparently touched one of your nerves, so much you had to list every game you bought in the last year for your point. Good for you. If you feel it's fake concern that's on you I still stand by what I say. I clearly said SF5 and such aren't exclusives because it's on PC so I don't see your argument. I'm talking about REAL exclusives which Xbox IS in fact lacking the first half on the year. Nice shot at the TLG don't know why you had to include that in your anger. As for your usual "media bias against Xbox gamers" statement, because you guys LOVE playing victim. Why don't you go ahead and write and article if I was a MOD I'd approve, its free speech after all. Instead of whining and complaining go and write a blog. Once again, what I stated is fact. I also said the samething for Sony that they could possibly have another holiday with a lack of BIG games as well, so again no fanboying, just stating facts
