Xbox One Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

They just try to make terrible jokes about everything. It's the same guys that were doing the PS4 launch stream, and they're just as bad now as they were then.

Those guys deserve this

I'm kinda underwhelmed by the PS4's UI so far. I'm so crazy hype for the X1's. If it works anything like what's been shown, I'll be super satisfied.

I think ryse will be the benchmark for graphics, until further news...



edit

zoo tycoon looks nifty and fast. not seeing it being sluggish or something.
but then again, zoo still small in the stream...

I didn't look at the video because I don't won't to ruin it for me. But reading everyone's comments about it sure is making me want to lol.

Anyway, judging by what you guys are seeing/ have seen and how the other games have been reviewed today. How do you think Ryse will review??

oh so i was not the only one thinking that.

Not by the looks of it, not surprised.

Damn this thread is sensitive. Look at my post above.

Like I said, every post is negative for Xbox One/Microsoft and usually a drive by, but lets not derail the thread.

I honestly think I will drop a *ton* of hours into Zoo Tycoon. It looks so fun.


Wow at the comments on the chat, though. If I am to have hope for humanity, I have to assume the average age of the commenters is ten.

Honestly this thread makes me want an Xbox One. Maybe I should play more of my 360 and boost it's library.

Every single post I've seen of yours on this site has been MS/Xbox negative ... do you ever give it a rest?

Not kidding either, every single post.

I've noticed this for some time now as well, but decided not to bring it up because an OT like this doesn't deserve potential derailment.

Sub_Level handled it best anyway lol

I'll say this about Ryse. It looks incredible and some of the gameplay I've seen lately has me intrigued. Reviews will decide for me either way if I go for it at launch or AC. I know it's gone through some development hell, but again it is a stunning showing for next gen right out the gate.

Battlefield 4
COD

Asked the woman for Forza 5 for Christmas.


This is going to be a good end of year.

hmm, personally I really dont give a shit how it will review...
some may cut points from it for its old school battle system, some others might give it proper (good) marks for what it is.
on production values and polish, it will get full marks and probably remain a benchmark for some time...

no matter what metacritic say, I know i will be playing it thoroughly.

Are any of the special editions worth it. The guy I'm ordering with can get them but I don't know if its worth paying extra for. Oddly enough the Battlefield 4 Limited Edition is the same price so I might as well get that.

The others were Call of Duty: Ghosts - Hardened Edition & Assassins Creed 4 - Special Edition.

I don't think I'd really be too bothered it it's just some piece of DLC.

Oh yea he also said he has the Day One editions of Ryse, Dead Rising and Forza available now so I'm going to see if he will sell those to me today.

Yeah, the pretty graphics deceive me into thinking it'll score high, looks like reviewers are past that now. Gameplay doesn't look broken at least ... by the looks of it it won't deserve sub 6's.

I'm trying to get hyped for Xbox One, but with no Halo game is sight I really can't :(

Halo Spartan Assault in December!!

a lot better than expected i think. =)

I hope so!

I really wish they'd gone Dark Souls on Ryse. I know that would off pissed of 90% of people who bought the game as it'd be too punishing. The scores would have been much higher though, maybe the higher difficulties require more counters / dodging.

Highest difficulty is said to be brutal. I think they compared it to gears of war during the twitch stream.
