So im contemplating making a move into console since the new XBox One S is out. Apparently its meant for people like me who have never owned a console before.
What should i expect? How do you people deal with no mods, and the fact that you can play multiplayer with only other xbobx users and not the rest of the world? It feels claustrophobic and cramped to me...
>So im contemplating making a move into console since the new XBox One S is out.
Why?

hello microsoft employee
>What should i expect?
Barely any good exclusives
Go with PC senpai. If you're adamant about not building a PC, get the cheapest Alienware Alpha, I think they have refurbs for like $350 or so (that are dramatically stronger than the Xbone and can actually play games at 1080p.)
However, if you do decide to go with the slim Xbone, then I wish you an enjoyable gaming experience and hope you're satisfied with your choice.
>>341146505
I won't buy one because why would I, but this console looks really fucking nice, visually speaking
>>341146505
>What should I expect?
A paperweight
Buy a PC
at least get a console that there is any point in owning
Get a PS4 instead.
If any of those games turn out decent I may pick up an XboneS. I would honestly rather pay $300 for an xbone than install Windows 10 on my PC for free
>It feels claustrophobic and cramped to me...
Ah yes, because hearing "fuck you nigger" in Portuguese feels much more liberating.
Lol.
>have a PC
>contemplate buying a less powerful PC with the same "exclusives" and less options
>>341146505
Then don't fucking do it if you have so many apprehensions about it.
>>341146892
>exclusives
M$ shot himself in the foot, the xbox has no longer exclusives
>>341147545
VAI SE FODER NEGÃO
XboneS pros:
It's sexy
Cons:
It's still an Xbone
xbone was killed live on stage in front of an audience of thousands just today
Don't bother
I was hoping for a lower price point. I was eyeing a refurb Xbone a few months ago for like $250, but I still haven't pulled the trigger on any of the current consoles.
$300 for the failed console ~3 years in with a successor coming in ~1 year isn't really doing it for me. The games they have coming out do look good, though.
>>341147649
Microsoft still has exclusives. Xbox is only the brand. Try playing any of thier games on Playstation and let me know how it goes.
>>341146505
>So im contemplating making a move into console since the new XBox One S is out.
It's not slated for release until "holiday 2017". Stop contemplating and ask again a year and a half from now.
When is the scoprio coming out? I wouldn't bother getting the S without at least getting info on the scorpios release date and price
>>341147984
Scorpio is holiday 2017. Xbox One S is August.
>people like me who have never owned a console before
>never owned a console before
Statistically impossible. Fucking NOBODY grew up on the garbage that was late 80s/early 90s PC gaming
>>341146505
>How do you people deal with no mods
Do you actually fucking mod every game you own on PC?
>play multiplayer with only other xbobx users and not the rest of the world?
What the fuck are you talking about. its the same for PC as they can only play with PC users in 99% of their games
For the way you talk about mods and PC, i guess you own powerful rig- why would you get an xbox pretty much all of their games are on windows 10 too.
Are you retarded OP?
>>341148305
Yea sorry i fucked up, PS2 was my last console.
I meant never owned one before meaning of the current generation or the previous.
>>341148110
Holiday 2017 is the official time frame given, which probably means December.
>Don't wanna get a new xbox cause i have too much of a pc and sony backlog
>xbone S looks so fucking sexy and i really wanna play the MC collection and Halo 5
Help me, /v/, it's so tempting
>>341148871
>xbone S looks so fucking sexy
they did a really good job with that
this might be the first console i just sort of want to own because it looks so fucking nice
>>341146505
Ok, here is my project scorpio success plan:
- deal with platinum game to produce a only on scorpio game for every two years.
- deal with gearbox to produce a only on scorpio game
- deal with slav company
- deal with atlus
- buy westwood and ips from EA and rejuvenate C&C for pc (bonus)
But I know, microsoft concentrates on "best multiplatform".
>>341146505
XBONE is still the weakest platform, the S is just slim not more powerful.
You have to pay for online, and console games are more expensive than PC games.
In the long run you pay more than you would playing on PC, and almost all of the XBONE games are also on PC.
With AMDs new 200$ GPU coming out, it looks even more pointless than ever.
>>341148871
>buying an xbone just for halo
literally kill yourself
>>341146505
the only really good thing about the new xbone is that it´s now the cheapest 4k video machine around
and still plays modern games, cheaper than any 4k player and still plays games.
>>341148159
My mistake. I thought the S and Scorpio were the same thing. Disregard me, I suck cocks.
>>341149169
FUCK YOU I LOVE HALO, and i've wanted to play it ever since i saw my brother playing 2 remaster
>>341146505
No, you're not. you just shill. Stop making this thread for the 10th time like you did every E3 and pre black friday.
>>341147859
Spot the shill
>>341148871
>it's so tempting
Not really.
Pay to play online despite everything being P2P.
Games generally cost more then PCs
FAR less customization.
"HUR, but the livingroom!" My old PC is my living room PC, with a wireless m+kb and a DS4, what the fuck else is there to need?
>>341146903
>cheapest Alienware Alpha
>4gigs of ram
>haswell i3
No just no don't do this. It would be ok for a prebuild for 350 bucks or so but not for 500. Really just go to like fucking NCIX or some equivalent and let them build you a PC for your budget.
>>341146505
>Apparently its meant for people like me who have never owned a console before.
ABSOLUTELY! There is a console for a person completely devoid of foresight, intelligence and effort to do any research in any way
if you know nothing about consoles or games then you probably would by an xbox
>>341149328
All good. Hopefully the scorpio design looks just as good. I really like the XOne redisgn.
you know what, fuck it, im not a poor fag so ill just buy it and see what happens, ill decide if i stick with it or not.
>>341148871
Do it. Embrace the chief and the love of microsoft.
>>341149169
>you want halo for xbox?
>fuckin halo sucks
>HALO 3 FOR PC WHEN
>>341149781
never bothered me when i played halo 3 on 360, i had a hella fun time back then
>>341148110
18 months from now.
Any reason not to get it if I don't have a blu-ray player and having one that supports 4K is appealing to me? Games are a bonus, but I already have a gaming PC.
>>341151549
I hear the new playstation is going to support 4k blueray but that might just be a meme
>>341151813
That thing is not coming out until fall 2017 and will definitely be more expensive.
>>341146505
Your post makes absolutely no sense, Mr. Spencer.
>>341146505
Go with PC.
Xbone Ass has no exclusives
>>341148871
Do you have friends to play Xbox with or have any interest in UHD Blurays/have a 4KTV?
If the answer to both is no, work on your backlog instead man, unless you have disposable income
>owns a pc
>considers buying a slim xbox
Who do you think you're fooling?
>>341153363
$299 4K blu-ray player.
