[Snake Plissken]

None of it's exclusives ever interested me.

 

[gypsycatcha]

Maybe but they have plenty more decent ones right now and they're flagship titles are out or ever present.

 

[snappahead]

None of it's exclusives ever interested me.

But you do understand why other people would want one, right? If someone likes Halo, you get why they'd have an Xbox. If for the sake of argument, Xbox got exclusive rights to games you were interested in, you would be interested in an Xbox then?

 

[Snake Plissken]

I didn't turn this into a pissing contest, I don't care if others want it... that's their prerogative. I'm just speaking from my personal experience. Don't be so defensive.

Who's pissing? You said you didn't understand the allure of an xbox and I thought it was an odd thing for a gamer to say. "Defensive" suggests I'm defending something.

 

[Irvy]

The only thing that would tempt me to get an xbone would be tomb raider, even then it'll prob be available for PS4 down the line.

 

[VanDammage]

I enjoy having both consoles. I see the allure of having both

 

[Theokan]

You give them $29 they give you a digital copy.

$60 for physical copy.

You're essentially just pre-ordering a game.

It's actually FAR more generous than what the other companies do. They would never sell a digital copy for $29. I can't believe they're pricing it so low for a kickstarter.

Yup, seems like a lot of people don't understand what Kickstarter is, it's actually a genius idea as long as it's being used correctly. The whole point is that no producers wanted to invest millions to the developers to make a Shenmue sequel, that's why that game was never made. It's like asking for a loan in the bank to start your own business, except their expectation is like way, way higher.. the developers are essentially asking the producers to believe in their dreams and give them 2 million dollars, that never happened.

The fact is that, if every buyer put their pre-order money in advance then the developers would have a few million dollars to fund their own game, without that money in advance the developers won't have fund until after the game sells, but you can't sell something if you don't have funding to make it in the first place... so Kickstarter is simply a platform for that to happen, it bypass that vicious cycle and kick starts successful project that would have never happened.

It's timed, so I expect a few months before it hits PS4.

For movies it's totally different.

 

[ironwez20]

I'll never understand the allure to Xbox.

Halo and gears man!!! Lol I'm a big halo fan so that's the only reason I got the box.

 

[Theokan]

For movies it's totally different.

To tell you the truth I never really paid attention to kickerstarter movies, it always seem more cater towards games, like reviving unfinished games that were cancelled at some point due to cut fundings, by simply collecting pre-order money to fund itself. it's so simple yet that's really all they needed to do, they could have done this 15 years ago if there was such a program back then.

[pturtle]

Yea, it's a great method to make games people want without much risk. I was more familiar with kickstarters for movies, which you're basically just helping to fund someone's movie and that's it.

agreed, Halo is THE reason I got an Xbox one, and Uncharted is the reason I got a PS4. Both consoles have kick ass exclusives. If anything I think the PS4 would be the easier system to pass on as the only exclusive I can think of for PS4 is Uncharted at the moment, MGS and FF went cross platform.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

I'll never understand the allure to Xbox.

I say the same thing about Playstation.

 

[Solidus]

There are much better exclusives on PS compared to Xbone. Gears and Halo? Meh...

 

[Snake Plissken]

I wasn't making a comparison at all, or denouncing exclusives... yet Xbox lovers get so much sand in their vaj over absolutely nothing.

[Solidus]

Being a card carrying member of the illustrious PC Gaming Master Race, I'll gladly make any comparisons. Aside from exclusives, many multiplatform games run on lower resolutions on Xbone. If there's one piece of hardware that's holding back development this generation (for both PS4 and PC), it's the Xbone.

Shots fired .
