Hmph. A RedBox rental would have saved me $47 on FarCry 5.

Don’t forget to upgrade any time you buy a new game! The best part about consoles is that they WORK. You start a game, and you don’t have to futz around with settings until you find a compromise you can live with. I have a PC. It works fine. If what you said is true, it SHOULD be able to play any of the 5 year old…

Because a PC that supports gaming at the level of the Xbox One costs $1000+?

I always end up with both consoles by the end of the generation (and I’m the proud owner of a Switch as well, the first Nintendo console I’ve owned since N64!)

A console needs to have its own games to survive.

I got Game Pass on a whim.  They had a deal to convert my two years of XBox gold to Gamepass for a few dollars so I did it. When I realized I didn’t need to buy Outer Worlds when it came out for PC or XBox, I became a convert

Im gonna let you in on a little secret. *Whispers* Microsoft owns the PC OS.

“where are my friends playing?” kept me on Xbox long enough for GamePass to make Xbox the clear choice for me. I have friends that I play with basically every day, whom I’ve been playing Xbox games with since literally the day they launched Xbox Live on the OG Xbox in 2002. I linger a generation behind on PlayStation…

Heh, so it comes down to personal preference and maybe the other equipment one has at home. All the stuff you mentioned doesn’t work for me on the ps. Plus, I enjoy that I can have people on several different devices play Minecraft together (we still play it a lot), Xbox, PC and Android work together like a charm in…

All of Bungie’s Halo games are bangers. They are all amazing. Rank them however you want but none of them fell flat or failed to deliver in story or multiplayer (or Firefight, in ODST’s case).

You are crazy to think Reach had the worst campaign. 

“Xbox One is dead three months after the release of Game Pass, the single best thing to happen to video games this decade." - no one sane

I got a Day One launch box in 2013, I got a launch One S, a launch One X and just got an S All-Digital for $150 on Black Friday for my kids.

Contrary to all reason (it’s the end of the generation, and I already own a PS4, Switch, and PC), I ordered the $150 Xbox One S w/ Jedi Fallen Order bundle from Target for Black Friday (after a $100 gift card, I feel pretty good about that). I know it doesn’t make any goddamn sense, but frankly I haven’t turned on my…

Agreed. I have all the current “devices” (xbox one X, PS4 Pro, Switch, PC, Rift s, Quest) and because of the xbox live platform and the friends I have for multiplayer, I spend more time playing on xbox than all the others combined. Not to say I dont go to the other platforms to play the exclusive titles, because I do,…

I’ve always preferred my Xbox to my Playstation(s) partially due to the infrastructure and UI, but as far as I’m concerned, Game Pass is Xbox’s current #1 killer feature. The Xbox One S is a fantastic 4K bluray player if you’re on the fence, and the One X is the most powerful console, but for gamers in general, Game…

Calling something “Dead” might be worse than calling it bad. 

because an xbox is one of the best media/entertainments hubs that also plays games and not everyone has the time or space to deal with PC ownership?

Even if I don’t get the big awesome titles like Sony’s exclusives, games pass still has more games than I can reasonably play. I recently discovered Dead Cells and loved it, and tried out Remnant from the Ashes. This was after binging Gears 5 and enjoying the new Horde Mode.

As some that owns both a Switch and PS4 - and platinumed Horizon - BOTW and Odyssey deserved all the praise they got. I don’t even like platformers. Both Horizon and BOTW are from the same Ubi open world game mold, and are among the best of those games, but I give the edge to Zelda for the environmental interactions…
