This is a great list. One game that I left off my list for the show was Ultimate Spider-Man. To this day, it's my favorite Spider-Man game ever!
@Goldby - It looks like we will just have to agree to disagree. Why would Microsoft sell a game on PC through Steam, which cuts into their profitably? They wouldn't. And, at the same time, if Steam users could play with Win10 people, no one would ever buy a Win10 product again.
Consoles are a different landscape because you are not going to see Microsoft 1st party games on other consoles (save for Minecraft, obviously).
The fight on PC is for Money....
@Aenea - Please don't misunderstand. I am fully aware that these are all business decisions and I don't excuse one and not the other. Sony has everything to lose by opening the door of Cross-Play and Microsoft has everything to gain. Sony shutting it down is a good business move for them. Just like Microsoft not working with Steam is a good business deal for them. However, what is good for business is rarely also good for consumers. While this is an Xbox show, I'm not blind to eit...
@Godlby - I get the CoD issue, but I think that's a rare example that will not happen again. That game tanked hard. It was a trial. There isn't really another game of that magnitude that's done the same thing. If you look at the overall body of work, you can see that they are moving forward in that direction. However, that being said, they are still a business and losing sales on a single machine to a competitor is not something they will just accept. There is no Xbox Store or Win...
While I appreciate your thinking and you are probably right, there is a group of gamers out there that actually enjoy playing together. A great example is my brother. He can only afford one platform and he is a Playstation guy. I am an Xbox Guy. We just can't play together and we've accepted that, for years. But to have a game like Rocket League or the next Call of Duty that we could actually play together could be cool.
The greater masses will just make it a mocke...
I see part of your point DigitalRaptor, but I don't know that I agree. Microsoft has an financial interest in PC where it's not the same structure on Consoles. It's just not an apple to apples comparison.
Example, if you want to play Rocket League with your friends on PC you all have steam and can all play it. Then, you will ALSO be able to play that version of Rocket League, on Steam, with Xbox One and Switch Owners.
The Counter point, whic...
I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that the conversation should be around Exclusives Games and not Cross-Play for 3rd Party games?
I can't argue with that.
There is always risk. The alternate version of this story is if I didn't pre-order and realized that I wanted one, I couldn't find one. I am happier now having had the machine for 3 months to figure it out for myself and then just sell it. But I do agree that is always the risk with being an early adopter of anything.
It is a good design. I'm excited to see what the next iteration looks like! I would have to disagree on it being the best console this gen, but thanks for reading! :)
First, Apocalypse Shadow, thanks for not only watching but actually paying attention. Whether you agree with us or not, you heard what we said and believe it or not that means something to us. Also, the fact that you are willing to share your thoughts is very encouraging to the guys. We do this because we love it, so having feedback, both critical and complimentary is important to us.
By the way, I'm the guy on the left with stupid opinions. I will only speak for mysel...
Boooooooooo
Calm down people. Virtual Console is coming. Just be patient. The Switch will be amazing even without it at launch!
I would love to play Skyward Sword, sans Motion Controls, on the Switch. Nintendo, let's make this happen!!
This is a good list for sure. The game not listed that would probably be in my personal top 10 is Blast Corps! Loved that game.
The presentation was filled with ups and downs, but I am hyped for what Nintendo is doing with the Switch and can't wait for March 3rd!!
Such a great time recording this. STILL wish Overwatch got the boot! 😝
Joeorc, first let me applaud you for taking the time to research and provide links to support your thoughts. Since you put so much effort in, I have looked at each of the links. Well done.
I will say that I don't agree with you. What I was saying, and still stand by, is that I think the system is ugly. That's not to say that it isn't practical or useful. In fact, I would probably agree most with the idea of long sessions with the machine on a kickstand. I play ...
I appreciate the kind words sir. I am not a dancing monkey, I like what I like and call them like I see them.
When I said Playstation didn't have exclusives, I meant the platform as a whole, which was meant to be sarcasm. But I am not afraid to mention that I don't think VR is a realistic, mass market, consumer product and from what I've read and heard first hand, the PSVR experience is at the lower end of that spectrum. But listen, Brant likes it and it's h...
Pretty solid answer. Why do you think local Co-Op is dying?
