Re: Phil Spencer: Commited To Console

@HEADESTROYER4 Efficiencies of scale...I almost forgot about that. While years down the road that will no longer hold true, that's the case for the time being. We had the 360 for so long I almost forgot it is no longer possible to build a better PC at about the same price as a home console. Regardless, I always get a Halo box every generation. Occasionally a Zelda box too. And it's been a while since I got a Naughty Box. Then there's the Ouya, also known as a Nothing Box.

Yeah, I expect the numbered Halo entries and the occasional exclusive to skip Windows. Still, my jokes about the Xbox being the Halo box couldn't be any more true now that Fable and whatnot are on PC now.

Re: Rise of the Tomb Raider Now to Be Published by Microsoft - Likely to Be Fully Xbox Exclusive

@Gamer83 That is what backlogs were meant for. I know that's what I've been working on, and it saves me money as well. It might be your only option at this point besides GOTY Edition. I don't mind the occasional patch, but look at today's games and GOTY is that much more tempting. Overpriced DLC is included, game actually works when you get it, very few patches, essentially how things should've been.

Well, as much as I hate claiming preexisting IPs as console exclusives, given Street Fighter V, the bar has been lowered. If MS wants to go all out exclusive on this one (minus PC master race) I guess that's fine. Now all Nintendo needs to do is make a game in 1079p 59 FPS and this console war crap can be settled. I've never heard of a generation where console wars were fought by pretending a console was a gaming PC or something.

Re: Editor's Opinion: Why Refusing Review Embargoes Isn’t the Way to Go

Vincent294

Great read. I saw guys insinuating that Game Informer was paid to withold their review when in fact an embargo was enforced. This is very informative and shows what's wrong with the industry without any biased sources making up claims to fuel their agendas based off of cynicism. The transparency is much appreciated. After seeing how high the minimum tech specs for Unity are I couldn't play it if I wanted to and I certainly don't now. Not even after a patch is released. Dirty practices will be rewarded with lack of consumer loyalty; the opposite will be the reciprocal of course, so no beef with you guys. Another reason to keep reading Pure Xbox.

Re: Resident Evil Revelations 2 Confirmed for Xbox 360 and Xbox One

Vincent294

I'll probably get this, but the fact that this is skipping the 3DS after Nintendo announced the new 3DS with more processing power and a 2nd stick for these kinds of games, I'm annoyed. If they have any surveys asking why I'm not interested in any DLC, I'll be sure to say "skipped the new 3DS, I bought Revelations at launch" assuming this isn't pushing the 360 to its absolute limits.

Re: Spencer: Tomb Raider Deal Didn't Come From An Evil Space

@hydeks Now some people have been acting like that but before you get hypocritical, Playstation owners supported Tomb Raider more than Xbox gamers did if the sales are any indicator. Now, some do act over entitled, but do consider what I'm trying to say. I'm not that mad over this, but I can guarantee you that this was crude. Sure, their competitors have done the same, Nintendo with Resident Evil Revelations, Sony with Grand Theft Auto, you name it, but it's still a low blow no matter how you look at it.

Re: The Latest Xbox One SDK Makes Sunset Overdrive Even Better

Vincent294

Looks great. Nice to see Microsoft is starting to get their crap together. This looks like a lot of fun. Also nice to also see a shift in Xbox One philosophy: a game console that does media, not a media console that does games. This with the Master Chief collection are looking up to make the Xbox One into something people will want to get, especially now that buying Kinect is optional.

Re: Microsoft Announces Kinect-Free Xbox One

Vincent294

While I like the 360 Kinect and apparently the new one's better, I'd rather skip it next gen. This is huge to me. $100 is not worth voice commands. I can see $60, but not $100. As for the limb tracking, I could care less even if it is better this time around. This makes the One viable to me. I didn't expect them to drop it so soon.
