What went wrong?
Nothing, far better console than the PS4 in terms of quality and games.
>>339978352
Horrible first impression
>>339978352
Still no Banjo-Threeie
343 ruined Halo
Gears 2 was the pinnacle of the series
Still no Viva Pinata 3
The worst UI in the history of vidya.
I prefer my Xbone to my Portstation 4 but god damn Microsoft, fuck you.
I love mine. So many games from both this and last gen. It's the only friendly consumer console (or at least the one that tries its best to be)
>>339978830
Meant "consumer friendly". Fuggin dyslexia.
>>339978803
>343 ruined Halo
More like 343i is saving Halo
>>339978352
No good games, even the PS4 had Bloodborne and the Wii U had Xenoblade X and Mario Maker.
To be fair its been a weak console generation.
>>339978352
Under powered, mediocre library and just consoles in general.
It's always been about the games, and none of the exclusives + next gen games have been designed for a new generation.
All games are relying on old formula, xbone should of been successful but you don't gamble success on sequels.
Alternatively PS4 offered, and here is the dealbreaker and reason why people bought it, more power to run multiplats, which was what the next generation was all about, games that were available everywhere.
Xbone should of won from past success + resources, but for some dumb reason they focused on a gimmick and lost a huge lead. The end.
>>339978924
Fuck off 343.
>>339979251
Halo 5 is the best Halo game since 3 and is very fun, 343i is far from ruining Halo with 5.
>>339979236
By everywhere, I meant the 360 and PS3 could run those games, and this was the first 2 years of the nextgen consoles life... they released way too fucking early, and now they have to release upgraded consoles.
I also blame Xbone on this, since they wanted to make a greedy lead, not caring about the power of the console, just that its an entertainment machine. PS3 did the same thing, and look how horrible it's early life turned out.
>>339979469
'multiplayer' you mean, with hit and miss maps. As for the spirit and lore of Halo, it's met with a mean meat cleaver.
Having 1/2 of the experience doesn't make it the best Halo, only focusing on multiplayer makes it a game meant for PC, just stuck on console - that was their design mentality.
>>339978352
Don Mattrick and absolutely fucking horrible first impressions that most average consumers didn't know were retracted until the thing was dead in the water
>>339979469
Yes of course the halo game that launched without forge for a month and took 7 months to add infection, still not having 1 flag attack/defense, bomb, oddball, and more while having one of the worst stories and awful multiplayer maps with an incredibly shit playlist selection are saving halo

Everything. Literally EVERYTHING that could've gone wrong, all of it happened.
>>339978924
>More like 343i is saving Halo
The last time Halo was relevant to mainstream gaming was 2010
Lots of things
>Cockyness after the 360
>Underpowered compared to PS4
>The whole entire reveal with the TV shit and "consumer unfriendly" practices
>Shitty OS
Most of all Microsoft has never been about the games.
They entered the industry for the wrong reasons, they entered because they were afraid that Sony would capture the living room. They didn't really seem to want to make a console for games in the first place. I mean yeah Sony went full in because of the Nintendo betrayal but still.
>>339979832
You don't have backwards compatibility on the PS4.
>>339979678
The spirit of Halo was always its multiplayer
>>339979747
Some of the best gameplay in the series, having to wait for series' standby's was unfortunate, but the overall experience is good enough to make up for it. Oddball/assault are in the game, and playlists are fine right now. A BTB Slayer/Team Objective would be nice tho.
>>339979815
10x better than what Bungie could've put out at this point.
>>339978924
>Barely minimal effort into gametypes like Infection, took fucking forever to shit out
>COD-ifying gameplay to bring in toddlers
>DUDE COLLECTIBLES LMAO
>>339979963
I remember they must of spent probably 70k for the supercar to be displayed on stage for Forza reveal.
>>339980041
Neither does xbox 1. The bullshit they have is not
>>339980134
>COD-ifying gameplay
That's Halo 4, not Halo 5 anon.
>>339980041
doesn't matter when everyone has a ps3 :^)
>>339978352
No games.
Not even any good upcoming games.
The few games it does have are pretty bad (exclusives in particular).
Terrible UI.
More expensive despite having worse hardware.
>>339980146
They've done that multiple times. Microsoft has the money to throw around so that's what they do.
Even if the OG xbox wasn't designed for the right reasons it was still a great console. The Xbox One barely gets used in my house.
Only reason I haven't sold it or traded it in is I have the white/gold controller and I dont want to lose it.
>>339978536

Ford actually paid them to do it last time. The McLaren was just a carbon fiber body for the 5 reveal.
>>339980094
>The spirit of Halo was always its multiplayer
Lightly disregarding the moments that defined the existence of the Xbox brand, when was 'finish the fight' ever applied to multiplayer you twit.
The fact you've have to solely focus only on multiplayer experience, proves the games aren't as good as the original trilogy. Hell, they even moved to kill couch gaming experiences for Halo.

I feel like halo 5 at its core is agood game, but its not actually a good halo game because its a bit too far from the beloved previous games and they botched the artstyle
>>339978610
This. If they hadn't went full retard during the reveal and E3 it probably would have been fine.
I own a One and the exclusives are fine but it just doesn't have enough. Titanfall 2 is going to be on PS4 now. So they lost another big console exclusive.
Hopefully they don't abandon some of the new series they've created this gen. Sunset Overdrive 2 and Quantum Break 2 would be fun. I thought Ryse was pretty decent for a tech demo. And Scalebound looks like it could end up being fun.
Hopefully they do something with Banjo-Kazooie and Conker. I can't believe some of the Rare titles they're doing nothing with.
Gears of War and Halo will always be there. And Forza is probably the best realistic racing series out right now.
Something I would like to see is a new Fable. I'd love a sequel but a reboot would also be acceptable. It's another series they're doing nothing with since Lionhead closed its doors. Trying to make Fable a MOBA was a big mistake.
The console alone is fine. I really prefer the interface of the Xbox One to the PS4. But the hardware isn't as good so I tend to buy my multiplats for PS4.
I also wish the One had better japanese support. The PS4 just has more obscure japanese games that I care about (Senran Kagura, Neptunia, etc).
Xcucks are not welcome here

Is it weird that I'm actually looking for a reason to buy one, but every game I look at is getting ported to PC or PS4?
Chaos Child drew my interest but now it's getting ported to both other leading platforms. The only exception is Sunset Overdrive.
>>339980273
Well, you better have if you want to play PS3 games, since the PS4 doesn't have backward compatibility.
Booting two consoles is such a fun.
For me:
>Worst option between PS4, Xbone and PC for visuals and framerate.
>Nearly all exclusives came to PC or are coming to PC, making it literally a toaster.
>Lack of XBLA titles to help it through the dry times.
>A lot of stupid choices by Microsoft with their lineup, between Fable Legends, Phantom Dust, Project Spark getting canceled after heavy promotion, etc.
>The entire E3 and Launch fiasco.
>Had little Japanese support, outside the most mainstream stuff.
On the plus side, I do think the Xbone is a better multimedia machine then the PS4 is (oddly enough, it was even better then the PS4 with blu rays) and the controller for it is great.
I sold mine after MCC was still broken months later and next to nothing being available.
>>339978352
>Awful presentation
>inferior hardware to it's competitor
>It's big name exclusives haven't been as successful
I am genuinely curious about the new Xbox Scorpio or whatever it ends up being. I hope Microsoft sees that they need to have better hardware in the console to sell the 1440p meme that is soon to replace the 1080 meme.
>>339980589
You can say what you want, but it was always Halos multiplayer that made the games long lasting. Halo 2 created the menu system still in use by games a decade later, Halo 3 had millions of players online daily and was the top played game for 2 years straight on Xbox live, and Reach had hundreds of thousands of people online at once daily for years. The games real impact and staying power is found in its mulitplayer, end of.
>when was 'finish the fight' ever applied to multiplayer you twit.
Marketing != Spirit
>The fact you've have to solely focus only on multiplayer experience
I personally like the campaign, better than Reach or 4 and the closest game since 3 to feel like a Halo campaign. 343i are learning and it shows
>Hell, they even moved to kill couch gaming experiences for Halo.
That was a time constraint, it was not a move to "kill couch gaming experiences for Halo"
>>339978352
WiiU set the bar to high with all the exclusive.
>>339978352
No reason to get both it and the PS4 when 99% of games for either are multiplat. Got severely outmarketed by Sony. Still DOA in Japan because muh grorious nippon consoru better dan smerry gaijin consoru. Bringing former exclusives to PC was the last nail in the coffin.
>>339978352
How can CA already manage to make a better Halo game than 343i and we haven't even seen gameplay?
>>339978352
>$499 vs. $399
>But it's less powerful
>No physical games
>Needs a mandatory daily online check
It's hard to believe nobody pumped the brakes on this shit before they lifted the curtain.
>>339981701
They decided to make a Halo game instead of some weird Mass Effect/Halo/Avengers hybrid game.
>>339981701
CA made the Doom multiplayer, which is objectively worse than even Halo 4, so no, they can't make a better Halo game.
>>339981701
>>339981932
>Based on the sheer number of Spartans in the image, this again indicates that Halo Wars 2 will be set before Halo 3 during the Human-Covenant war.
Please let this be true. I don't want a Forerunner faction or anything from neo-Halo in my Halo Wars.
>>339981941
Creative Assembly not Certain Affinity
They released too many of their games too quickly. They blew their entire load in the first 3 years trying to save the console and now they have nothing left.
Microsoft doesn't want to dump any more money into it, EA and Square are done signing pseudo exclusive contracts with them, more or less all their first party games have come out, the only two half promising games on the horizon that aren't MMO's are two games directed by second rate developers like Kenji Infaune, all but 1 game, Scalebound, that's all the Xbox has going for it at the moment but Microsoft has already given up and ported its entire game library to PC.
Other than horrible first impression. Design. Despite begin weaker than PS4 Xbone actually has larger (thus more expensive) die.
