Xbox One System Discussion

[Something Sexy]

Forza multiplayer is crazy complicated, and its pay to play content is shady as all hell on the single player side.

I am just reading about this now. I definitely will not be getting this game anymore.

The racing mechanics are still great, but the game is a mess.

The cars and tracks are tiny compared to previous games.

They're being really greedy with their pay to proceed business model yuck).

The online confusion will frustrate you.

Stay away!

What is the pay to progress deal? Do you have to do it or is just a FSR way to progress?

You don't have to, but it will be a long grind to move forward and the quantity of vehicles and tracks is insane low compared to previous games.

Shame really, Forza 3 and 4 are still king.

Go to the 56 minute and 40 second mark. Their Forza rant ends at the 1 hour 4 minute mark.

I agree 100% with them

sighs, went to hong kong thinking the asian version of the xbox one already launched.... they only had the us versions, which they were selling for 800+USD. but the real downside was having to buy another power supply since the us version was 110v.
power brick + power supply, no thanks.
hope the asian version comes soon enough, googled around and it said it will be out in late 2014...

Grab turismo 6 is just as guilty for the microtransaction stuff. I read today on IGN that the most expensive car in the game will cost you 120 GBP worth of game credits. That's if you don't want to grind for it which would probably take forever.

We'll the guys behind Forza will probably get it once they realize the backlash going on about their game. I still haven't picked up an XONE but im planning on it. I think Im going to wait til spring time so maybe they'll be more games to choose from as well.

I don't know that I disagree. However, the buyer still has some responsibility to read what they are actually buying in my opinion.

Nevermind, he is an even bigger moron. He admits he read the description.

Despite the listing stating it was a photo of an XBox One Day One edition console, Mr Clatworthy said he'd expected to receive the console as it was listed in the video games and consoles category on eBay.

I think it's the admitting that he knew it was for a photo and then going to the news and saying he's buying it for his 4-year old son. I call BS on both sides.

If it says I am selling a photo of a Xbox one then its not the sellers fault people are stupid. He got exactly what he bought.

Yeah I went back and read that. Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Ok I have to give the guy a break. While is not really saying it a photo of the system is was also a listing with little info which should have been a red flag.
