X Box One: Sell it to me
These things are on sale on amazon right now for $200. Thats a tempting price point.
Crackdown, Tunic and Cuphead all look like theyre worth playing. Alternatively i can spend considerably more and build a gamkng rig to play these games. Im on the fence X Box owners. $200 is very cheap and i could easily be swayed. So can anyone convince me its worth $200? |
Controller feels great, UI is mostly organized, and all my buds are on Xbox Live.
Follow your heart, bro. |
I like the xbone controller as well. But i think all modern controllers are perfect. Joycons are the only current controller i dont like but the pro controller is ace.
I dont see the boon of having friends on one console or other. Especially for games like crackdown tunic and cuphead... |
Probably depends on how you feel towards Microsoft's 1st party offerings and Xbox 360 backwards compatibility but for $200, seems like it would be a pretty good purchase.
Xbox One still has the problem of not matching the support the PS4 gets for exclusives and 1st party stuff but it does get all of the notable multi-platform games the PS4 gets. Alternatively a PC + PS4 combo does cover more gaming ground than a Xbox One + PS4 combo does though. |
Yeah thats my main hold up. PC trumps XBone pretty handedly...yeah? But...$200...
|
This is where the delima lives
|
If i own the other consoles can i get $200 out of an xbone?
|
If you don't have a lot of friends on Xbox, and most of the games you are interested in can be played on your PC, than you're probably better off spending it on something else.
|
I do very little gaming that requires friends. If im gaming im probably am actively trying to be alone. Dont think people irl even know i game lol

For me, it would be pretty easy to do since I barely play games on PC and outside of the PS2, don't really have any strong feelings towards the Playstation brand or Sony's 1st party stuff. |
Examples of 1st party MS IPs?
|
Killer Instinct, Rare Replay, the Gears series, Halo series, Crackdown series, Forza series.
Guess Minecraft would count as well since they did buy out Mojang even if the game itself is more 3rd party in status. |
Rare and crackdown both interest me heavily...
|
Would prob pick up gears when the price falls out. Similar to uncharted for me
|
Rare replay has blast corps. Fuck it im in.
|
Blast Corps just sold a console. Let it be known
|
Use the rest of this thread for cant miss games i guess?
|
I have it, wouldn't you like to finally play something with me?

Whats a gamepass. Sounds like a subscription service..? If XBONE is fully backwards compatible i could just but the games for $10 yeah?
|
Gamepass is a sub service but usually offer all there exclusives (Day one available) overall they usually have about 100 games on there.
|
Hmmm...i prefer physical. Sounds like a great deal tho
|
I bought an Xbox One S for 200 bucks and I enjoy it a lot. I would have prefered to get a PS4 for that price but that was the deal available to me and I took it. I don't care for online play as much so I don't really take advantage of that aspect. However I can say as an entertainment console is amazing. Everything that streams through my Xbox looks amazing, and the games that I do play I love. So I'd say if you don't have a PS4 then get it. But if you do, then you'd have to be really dedicated to gaming.
|
I have PS4 and the One. The one is just a cable box for all intents and purposes and pretty much the only gaming it sees is the occasional freebie from gold and my kids playing Roblox. That's not to say there weren't a few great games here and there.
I'd pick up Sunset Overdrive if I was you Destor. It should be dirt cheap now, especially if you find a used one at gamestop. I had a lot of fun with that one for sure. Gears 4 is pretty good too. If you like Halo there are those. And Forza, as much as I hate to admit it because GRAN TURISMO BAYBAY, is the premier racing franchise these days. The Dead Rising games if you didn't get them on PS are also excellent times. Ori and The Blind Forest. Rare Replay has some gems. You already are getting that though because Blast Corps is one of the best games ever and criminally underappreciated. Theres some others too but there is some for you to start looking at. |
Cup Head is at the top of my list
|
Its good. I just hope you don't have a penchant for throwing controls in rage lol. Otherwise buy armor for your TV.
|
Haha no im not a rage gamer. Well ill shut a game off in rage but i wont break my own shit lol
|
PUMPED for blast corps btw
Been decades since ive played it. Such a classic. Plus banjo 1 & 2. |
Blast Corps is the titties. I play it on an emulator all the time. It's strange that out of all the good games I had on N64 back in the day I miss Blast Corps the most. JUST ONE MORE LEVEL type game.
|
and every time you think you finally made it to the end....NOPE THERES MOOOOOOAAAAARRRR
|
I wouldn't buy an XBOX one. I have one that I got on sale earlier this year and after 6 months, the controller broke and it appears to be a common issue called stick drift. I've BARELY played it, maybe have 20 hours tops on the console. Wish I had gone with a PS4.
Also didn't drop/throw the controller, it just stopped working properly and it seems to be a common issue. |
Similar issue happened with some of the older PS4 controllers though. I have one that I never dropped or anything that for some reason when you pull the left trigger it causes the left stick to think it is moving even though it's not.

Garbage modern technology. My 8 year old PS3 controllers still work like new, not even loose sticks. |

So it came in today. Played a bit of rare replay (blast corps and banjo) and downloaded cuphead. Didnt play it though. Will play it after dad of war. UI is pretty jank vs 360. Im thinking there are some customization options im missing but i dont think ill use it much since ill use fire sticks for media and what not.
Legit complaint: after about 20 min my hand started killing me. Did some research and the controller has a steep bevel and for certain hand types its complementary and others its extreme discomfort. Oh well. I played for about 2 hours so its not the end of the world but im pretty disappointed after being told its the best controller around. Switch pro is current gen king by like.. a silly ammount. Looking forward to cuphead and looking for diff molded controllers |
I'm gonna get Cuphead on Steam eventually, will never join you in getting an XBONE though. I don't even have enough free time to give the Switch as much attention as I should.
|
The switch has the same issue the Bone has and thats a lack of titles...switch is young though.
|
I feel you on the Xbox controller Destor. I tend to get hand cramps after awhile.
Disagree on the Switch pro controller being king though; Dual Shock 4 still wins it for me. It's a very close second though. |
Duel Shock has the superior d pad prob of all time
|
So...terrible purchase. Nothing but regret. Been actively looking for things to play on this and there just isnt anything. Added some xbox and 360 gems to my backlog to replay just to get some value out of this worthless console (KOTOR 1/2 and Lost Odyssey...also have Blue dragon...maybe I'll replay it...never finished it...)
