I'm actually a huge fan of Forza. It kinda sucks because I've only got Forza 4 and Horizon 1 and 2 on 360 (because I can't afford an Xbox One yet). But when I finally do get one, Forza will be on the higher part of my list along with Rare Replay, Cuphead, and Super Lucky's Tale!

6 жыл бұрын

Codemastersk don't get me wrong I like Forza 7 but it feels lifeless when compared to Forza 4, it had many concept cars and Super GT japanese race cars, also there are missing tracks in Forza 7 and most of them are iconic to Forza, also I liked Nurburgring's partial track selection like "section A" and "section C", it made up for very exciting sprint races and that will bring me to the next point. Why did they remove 1v1 races against A.Is where you had to race that A.I. and pass as many cars as possible? It was one of my favorite parts in career mode, the overall presentation of the game was better in Forza 4

Believe me Adam, Microsoft has a long way to go until they even come close to becoming a Steam competitor. Everything they offer on PC is barely okay. To be honest they are not even really trying. The Windows Store is awful, convoluted with phone apps which made it to PC and with a horrible customer service. In addition the way their file system for the shop works is the worst: due to the fact that they encrypt their shop files on the PC (unlike GOG, Steam etc.) they are being decrypted during gameplay which results in a huge performance loss, in my case even plenty of crashes (I'm running an i7-4790, 16gb RAM and a GTX 1070 with an SSD). Forza Horizon 3 for example had this weird glitch where it didn't install correctly and now it can't be installed any longer, no matter what I try. Some other people have the issue as well but since the store has no customer service we are stuck with a game that can't be played (unless we reinstall Windows). Forza 7 crashed before I even got to the menu on two different machines. I'm note sure if I ever saw a sale on their platform which is also crucial for many PC players. So no, they are very far off from winning people over. Phantom Dust runs great though :-P

I won't be buying a 4k TV until my hd TV goes wrong. Also dvd sales still out sell blu-ray sales, so I can't see 4k taking off for a long time. The gap between normal hd and 4k is too small. There was a big difference between vhs and dvd, even the difference between dvd and blu-ray was slightly less noticeable in comparison. I feel Nintendo know this and have done so many things right with the Switch. Hybrid gaming is the best thing to happen to gaming since the breathtaking wonder of the N64. Also using game cards is the best solution for physical releases and fast loading times. The game cards will become cheaper to manufacture like blu-ray disc's/sd cards have over the years.

Woodworking Buddy how old are you to call me a "Bit.."? And like i said i'm not a Sony Fanboy because i game on a PC.

I think that the reason why we got the pro and x was to prolong the generation. The 7th gen lasted almost 2 normal gens (8 years) Come 2020 or 2021, we will see the next gen. Think they are doing this to help wait until the 4K components they want to use are cheaper. Just a thought.

Also, 4k and HDR are not the only reasons for the X. You still get better image quality on regular 1080p TVs plus better frame rates all over the board. If you don't have a beefy PC, it's absolutely worth it. If you have a good PC, not so much, apart from the backwards compatibility and some of the old Xbone exclusives.

The PS4 sadly was the first disc based machine I've ever bought without backwards compatiblity but it's honestly used more for media as the limited HD space makes it for exclusive games only imo.

+Adam Koralik If you went back in time before the X1 launch and were in charge of the naming, what are some ideas for names you would come up with? As for your point about pc gamers, you are spot on. I game almost exclusively on pc simply because I care among other things about and framerate and customising my experience. I don't see a point in sacrificing a severely gameplay impacting factor like frames and the fluidity to get a not even close to gameplay impacting factor like more pixels on screen. And with the current gen save for the X and Pro on some games, consoles are far behind my old rig on res already, and all of them are behind in frames. Now if consoles did 60 or more frames as the norm I'd still have issues with the restrictive and closed nature of the platform not to mention the attrocious game prices and paywalls. But it would atleast quell ALOT of the strife I have with consoles. But when I do break my pc gaming for console, it is like you said for the fantastic exclusives like the ones Sony or Nintendo offers. So I still am a potential customer for console makers albeit not one of their cash cow customers. But with the Xbox... even if xbox "exclusives" wern't on pc, I'd be hard pressed to buy a console for the very few that would actually peak my interest. The ones I have bought was simply for the fact that they were available on pc, and only Gears 4 I actually bought on the awful windows store. But (so far) I'd never buy the console for any of their games. That's the reality and all my pc gaming friends who also play consoles have a similar opinion.

The PS3 had a lot of system sellers. God of War 3 is one that stands out. Also, there are almost too many great PS3 exclusives to name. Some that come to mind are Uncharted series, Resistance series, Demons Souls, The Puppeteer, are some that come to mind.

I really glad to see the Xbox one is doing as well as it is but the graphics snobs and the fanboys calling Xbox one x a 9th gen console is arrogant and stupid because the Xbox one x doesn’t have games made exclusively for the hardware (also because we can still use the same disc on any other Xbox one).

I'm really impressed with Xbox's turn around; they've gone back to their "roots" so to speak, with an awesome piece of tech. They just need more, higher quality exclusives and IPs, which take time, so hopefully we see some in the next couple of years. I'm a massive Halo fan, but it just isn't the console seller it used to be. Only reason I buy my 3rd party games for Xbox is that I'm attached to the Live ecosystem/gamerscore and prefer the controller etc etc. PS4 is just an exclusive machine. I'm waiting to get an X when 4k HDR monitors become more mainstream, and when there's some limited edition bundle. Edit: Just finished watching - agree with most of what you said, but wanted to add that, I remember reading that Bill Gates was a proponent for Xbox as it essentially was another vehicle for his dream of a Windows(ish) based computer in every home.

What still boggles my mind is that Microsoft thought the gamers want more powerful hardware from them (XOX) when in reality if you search almost any gaming forum people always wanted more games from them, console exclusives at least. M$ thought that another batch of Halos, Gears and Forzaz was going to cut it, but it obviously didn't, people were tired of them already by the end of 360 lifecycle. Hardware should've been the least of their concerns

Great video. I am totally impressed with my Xbox One X. I have waited 4 years to get an Xbox One. I was going to get an Xbox One S last year but I have to give props to Phil Spencer. Right at the release of the S he said Project Scorpio was coming a year later. I have been an Xbox Gold member for years so when I finally got a One X I already had over 60 games for the system I could download and play not to mention the 100+ Xbox 360 games I already owned that I could play on the system via backwards compatibility. For me even with no pack in games the Xbox One X was the better "bundle" over a PS4 Pro and I have a PS3, PS Vita and Xperia Play phone so I am not against Sony. I even have a Sony credit card. I actually already had so much content for my one X, I filled up my 1 TB hard drive already and had to get an external hard drive. With the Xbox One X we have a game console that plays the best console version of any current and future lease and plays original Xbox and Xbox 360 games better than the original hardware. Because of this, I think the One X will do EXTREMEMLY well when compared to the PS4 Pro and I think the One X will draw in people who where not Xbox fans and it will be a way to introduce them to 3 generations of great Xbox games all with one game console. Also, I don't have a 4K TV yet but even on my 1080p tv, games on the One X look BEAUTIFUL. That, combined with the improved framerate as well as the backwards compatibility I already mentioned really make the Xbox One X the real video gaming bargain to me over the Ps4 Pro even with no pack in games.

Thanks for watching!

Your right about the exclusive part apart from halo. as far as im aware theres no way to play the full version of halo 5 guardians on pc at this point in time.

From a PC gamer's perspective, Microsoft selling the XBOX essentially as a Windows10 PC without the need for driver installations and stuff is the best thing that could happen. Because let's be honest, consoles all have pretty awesome exclusives, most of those will never come to PC for obvious reasons unless you have some emulators up and running. From a console gamer's perspective, I never had a reason to pick up the XBOX One nor will I ever have one. I'm a huge XBOX360 fan, even the gamepads are better, but the money I saved by not picking up this glossy black brick is better going to a low priced PS4 or the Switch that hopefully gets a massive price drop along with Mario Odyssey for Black Friday. The XBOX One is fine for those who prefer consoles over PCs and prefer Microsoft's titles over the others also. Otherwise it's... meh... a collector's piece.

I have both PS4 Pro and Xbox One S and both are great but I really like the XBOX a lot more for backwards compatibility and multimedia.

I'm wondering if their next console will actually just be a gaming PC of sorts. Adding full mouse and keyboard compatibility to the Xbox One X (coming this year supposedly) seems like a transition move towards this goal; if they made more windows 10 functions available on the console would help too (why get a desktop when you can get an Xbox that is both a console and a pc?). It might actually be the closest they get to the whole "all in one" concept they started out with, and have people used to the idea for their next gen console.

That's exactly where I am. PC and a Wii U. You can't justify Sony or Microsoft.

Another great video, very interesting commentary as ever. With Microsoft's current focus on services it stands to reason that Xbox live is the product and the Xbox hardware is simply the means to an end. Could it be conceivable that in the future Microsoft simply lets other manufacturers build Xbox branded compatible games machines rather than rely on PC?

Thanks. Suppose that's possible, yeah.

Ouch! -6Million dollars. Yeah, I feel like X-Box are trying to pull out of the console market. I've had some good times with them, but it's cool if they drop out. We'll see what happens.

With the Chicago Bulls sweatshirt, I take it he might live in Illinois? Anyway, I enjoy this content as well.
