Title: XOne $50 less for Holiday Season

Super stoked about how much MS is trying to make the XOne successful. Those are some great deals, definitely recommend picking one up if you haven't already.

I'll wait on this till its cheaper, $50 dollars discount and no games I want. Tho neither does the PS4. Ah, lack of games this gen... (same as the start of last gen, no?)

If I wait 6 months, I bet Sunset Overdrive will come to PC.

No. Last gen's start was awesome.

I'll get an Xbone when it's 200 euros.

The first year of the 360 wasn't that great and neither was the Playstation 3 from what I remember. 2008 was pretty great and hard to top though but there was a definite lack of software in the beginning, it was the origins of that whole "X has no geams" meme.

Anyway sticking with my PS4 plus

First year and a bit:

PGR 3
Dead or Alive 4
Condemned
Perfect Dark Zero
Gears of War
Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
Ghost Recon
Rainbow Six Vegas
Dead Rising
FEAR
Test Drive Unlimited
Saints Row

The PS3 was crap at launch. The 360 was awesome.

Yeah 360 was great at launch.  Sadly the one not so much. This price reduction is so so so tempting to get with the halo collection. I'm a huge fan. But then i'm looking in the future and stuff like quantam break doesn't interest me. What else is there anounced for 2015?

I still think PGR2 was better than PGR3. PGR4 was pretty GDLK though.

Meh, i think the XOne launch has been one of the best in recent years.

There are a few exclusive 2015 titles that looks great thus far:

Halo 5
Ori and the Blind Forest
Crackdown
Rise of the Tomb Raider(assuming it doesn't release during the Holidays)
State of Decay

Can't really think of much else, there are more exclusives, just probably due after 2015 or so.

Cuphead looks really awesome. It's a console exclusive anyway, similar to Ori(Both are coming out on PC as well.)

Edit: By similar I mean in terms of being only on the XBO....not in gameplay or anything x.x

I dunno, I have pretty much zero interest in a Bone or PSquad right now. I'm happy with my PC, and I probably wouldn't have even bothered with a Wii-U if it weren't for Bayo 2 being an exclusive.

I can't wait for Cuphead, definitely want to get that on PC. I don't think there's a release window yet though right?

2015 is the current date, nothing more than that.

Perfect Dark Zero
Gears of War
Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
Ghost Recon
Rainbow Six Vegas

Not too interested in almost all of those games! (Though I could think of many like for like games, Titanfall, Forza Horizon 2, Alien: Isolation etc to much up the list, though they are crossgen.)

But my tastes tend to skew to either arcade-y or Japanese games so probably why I found 2008 a good time to jump in.

I don't know why people buy a system now with no games because they want games that won't be out for a year plus. Especially considering how much games have been overhyped and totally didn't deliver (see: Titanfall, Watchdogs, Destiny).

I say wait till the games you want are actually out so you actually have a reason to use said system and you never know, it might be 100 dollars CHEAPER by the time those games are released.

Yea, I tried to list up only "nextgen" experiences.

Oh! Absolutely.. those games came way later :/
For me it was blissful tho

It'll take a lot of self control and financial responsibility to ignore this $50 price drop. Since the Sunset bundle is included... fuck me. That game went from a curiosity to a full-blown crush, and I'm crushing hard.

I must be one of the few that doesn't get the appeal of Overdrive.
Title: Re: XOne $50 less for Holiday Season

I'll eventually get Sunset Overdrive, but i'm more interested in the Halo Collection at the moment.. Too many good games in November..

I'm with you. It just looks soooo boring.
Title: Re: XOne $50 less for Holiday Season
Post by: George on October 29, 2014, 04:52:10 pm
Overdrive is a mixture of style of like.. PS2 era Naughty Dog/Insomanic mixed with aspects of their PS3 generation games....

I'm willing to give it a try, just not spending 350 dollars doing it. Especially considering I'm going right now after typing this to go pick up a new CPU for my PC.

Well originally it was all kinds of wacky, crazy fast over the top adventure. It is still wacky and over the top, but all the demos they've shown so far are slow as molasses. I still like what I'm seeing, but definitely not as much as the reveal.

Reminds me of a more grinding version of Infamous in motion. What about you guys?

Are you implying Dead Rising isn't glorious? (The Frank West titles at least)

Dead Rising 3 was quite good, actually.
