@Utena-mobile Interesting. I wonder how they market that? will have to google that. is the PR spin "Console exclusive" which isn't technically wrong I guess
@SuperKMx I would suggest that it is primarily two things. The principle of the matter and the emotional attachment people have to their respective console / ecosystem. I would also add that it may also be contributed to the length of time something is advertised as an exclusive. If for 3 years all you hear is that it is only coming to your gaming platform then you build up anticipation, purchase decisions are made, only to be told at the 11th hour that what you had been "sold/told" is now no longer the case. People rightly become "miffed" I guess it is consumerism.
The issue is not about fanboyism (if that is a word) but the fact that QB was sold as an "Exclusive" and less than two months before launch Microsoft changed tact and now it is an XB1 and Win10 exclusive. I accept that the gaming community, as is the way with other, social media communities, like football, fashion, and celebrity lifestyles,all have a very vocal often toxic minority that "flame" situations. Whilst I cannot deny their passion for their respective hobbies, it takes the conversation away from the original point that MS moved the goalposts at a very late stage and to some, that is simply not "gentlemenly" regardless of perceived benefits
A good review. Not too disappointed on the lack of a campaign. I am still plowing through Witcher 3! I agree with the posts about the season pass. I normally do get the Battlefield Season passes with the game. But this seems to be milking it abit! Solid game though, stable servers and generally a fair fight!
The missus has remained upset since I upgraded to the Xbox One from the Xbox 360, (day one Purchase) because she enjoyed singing to the various karaoke games, finally I can hear her dulcet tones once more! yay!

Re: The Evil Within Update Allows You to Remove the Annoying Black Bars
@Captain_Chao5 same here. Enjoyed it for the brief time I played it, but couldn't get into it. Trouble is Witcher 3 is keeping me engrossed!
