Xbox Game Discussion

Post by Cnasty »

Since we don't have an XB section and I know at least 5 of us own one that are left, Ill throw stuff in here from time to time.

Microsoft is really turning this terrible start they had with the XB1 around big time with the updates and capabilities of the machine.

Add in backwards compatibility (nice for me as I never owned a 360, but meh for most), Games with Gold will get 2 games a month now on the XB1, 2 for 360 and a possibility of 4 games free a month with backwards compatibility and the huge discounts on the console now with what you get it and I am impressed.

Played my PS4 for the first time in months this past week and it functions so fast and the UI is so much smoother but the capability of the machine is much less if you care about that sort of thing from an "extras" standpoint.

Either way, I enjoy having all 3 consoles this generation and have gamed probably more than ever since graduating and have a backlog of games about 75 deep and will only get worse.

So who else has one? Oracle, I think. I do most of my playing on XB1. Only time I touch the PS4 is for something NDL related or an exclusive.

Playing The Witcher 3 right now. Never played any of the other ones. Super slow at the beginning, but it has really picked up. Really enjoying it. You might be interested in this, it has a kind of GOT feel to it.

Arkham Knight is up next, but I have no clue when I will finish this one. It seems loooong.

Cant wait for the Witcher 3. I have some other big titles in front of it though coming first such as GTA 5.

They say over 100 hours just for the story in Witcher 3 but well worth it.

XB1 owners:
Me
You
Coug
AJ's sons
Oracle

Maybe I over estimated.

I don't think I've put 100 hours into PS4 gaming since I got the thing.

I am not sure if or when I will buy another game with all the free shit that comes out and my backlog of games and how good GameFly is.

We are living in a great time my friends. Imagine this time period when we were in our Nintendo days where there wasn't shit for free. Nothing. You had to beg your mom and dad for the $30 to buy Adventure Island and RBI Baseball or wait for birthdays,Christmas, etc. Now I counted no less than about 40 games free between the systems.

Adventure Island photo added for reference:

I remember walking up to the mom and pop video game rental place in the shopping plaza at the front of my street, renting nintendo/Sega games for $1, staying up an hour later to play them, then having my mom wake me up an hour early before school the next day to play some more...all because I just couldn't wait til the weekend to rent it :lol:

Wow that is so true. Renting games was probably as big as this time period break through in terms of new things.
How could I forget that?

We were a Blockbuster family and every Friday my mom came home with 2,3 movies for the weekend. If I didn't see that slim game box among the 3 I was pissssssssssed. She usually surprised me and just went straight to the "new releases" and got whatever was there.

Her knack for picking good rentals was good. Sometimes some duplicates but overall impressive for a mom of 3 working 50-60 hours a week.

my mom allowed me to rent games from blockbuster but I had to bike there. something like 8 miles along a trail. I think it was her compromise to me sitting on my ass playing video games all weekend.

Fun game. I played it for a few hours this past weekend. I kinda got away from the story the last couple hours and have just been sailing around and taking over forts and building up my fleet.

Xbox 1S unveiled today at E3

4K HD Blue ray and HDR gaming support.

40% slimmer, 2TB HD

I do not like this cycle of new console releases every 3-4 years as they try to keep up with PC. PS4 Neo to be unveiled after E3.

Is it really a new console or just a slightly upgraded XBox One and PS4?

I would consider it a new console with the 4K capability and internals.

Meaning your current PS4 and XB1 are not obsolete but there is already a better console out there less than 4 years after a major release.

Cant blame them though as the technology is improving fast for 4K gaming and capability with Blu ray and such. True 4k gaming will still be a ways off for a console from what I read.

I guess the better question is, what's not to like about it?

2 shay!!


4k is obviously awesome but not even close to worth what amounts to repurchasing the same gaming system. If you're not in the market for one, this just seems like not much of a reason to have it over your current one.

Having a 4K TV and watching Netflix, Amazon, and enjoying the content I have seen in movies it is mind blowing the difference that it gives.

If they do a trade in program for the current XB I will upgrade but only then considering I already have 2 of them. I can't really justify 3...maybe :lol:
