The Xbox One - Part 6

[Thundercrack85]

Those bundles won't be around for long though. Maybe six months? Titanfall is already hard to find.

It's just for the holiday season.

Seemed like the PS3 had a ****ing new bundle every month.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Hey, if they bundled this with a normal looking Xbone, with 1 TB HDD space, I honestly might get it.

But right now, I'm making the sign of the cross at that monstrosity.

Again, you aren't who MS is targeting. They're going after the people who live and breath CoD and actually like MS, you seemed repulsed by anything Xbox and Microsoft. Those are the ones purchasing these "limited" edition consoles. Not the random joe blow's who get every 5th CoD. They're aiming these at some of the hardcore CoD guys that jumped to the PS4 at the start of this gen. Now they release this and its "hey, lookie at what we got, a cool painted CoD xbox, come and get it!" And they will. I see it every time a console like this is released.

and... it will probably work

which is not saying much. this is cod. i don't think i have ever seen a more milked entertainment product in my life.

actually, maybe DBZ coz i hated the new movies.

 

[Benstamania]

This COD looks bad ass.. And I dislike COD. I'll be getting it.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha it will. Not saying its gonna change the course of the console race or anything, just that these CoD fans buy up all these CoD branded items. Every year id sell tons of controllers and headsets and what have you branded with the CoD logo. I have no data on this, but just based on observation id be willing to bet that CoD fans spend more on branded items than any other fan base out there.

It's basically Titanfall, isn't it?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Pretty much. Just swap the titans for the exo suits they'll be using. Same run n gun type gameplay though.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Sounds good to me. I mean, for the life of me, I can't tell Call of Duty and Battlefield apart.

I played about a half dozen of those games, and I couldn't tell you which was which.

Then you are playing with your feet while your eyes are closed.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Pretty sure my eyes were open.

I can. i'm a sucker for good graphics and The graphics for battlefield are leaps beyond cod's. and since battlefield is now 60FPS (it wasn't always, was it?) I just consider it cod will killzone graphics minus killcam.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I will probably pick up Shadowfall. If I can find it for 20, which you can, if you're lucky.

But I do prefer the Xbox for FPS, since it actually has triggers.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha then you'd spot the differences fairly rapidly. They've got pretty distinct styles to them. CoD has always been a more fast paced, in and out shooter where as BF has been more of slow burn type shooter.

Eh that new DS4 is pretty nice man. The new trigger shape is great. Just an all around great feeling pad.

this is true, although I feel the triggers are tad too... diagonal when i rest my fingers on them. not sure how else to explain it. the xbone's though, feel much much better.

I think they feel a little too "squishy" but thats just nitpicking. I love the controller. I used to hate going from the 360s pad to the PS3s as the 360s was just the superior design, now that difference is completely erased.

The only "real" complaint I have about the DS4 is the battery life. Thats it though.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I'm not saying PS4 = bad for FPS per se. Just, if I have both, I'd lean Xbone.

You can see that now with my PS3 and Xbox 360.

The only FPS I have for my PS3 is Killzone. And Bioshock Infinite, because I found it for 7 bucks. And either a Call of Duty game or a Battlfield game. I'd have to check.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Though I prefer the PS3 for third person shooters.

i wouldnt't even say they're squishy, it's just that when my fingers are on them before they're being pressed I feel like my fingers are in a position where they're already supposed to be being pressed - but that's where my fingers are resting.

on the xbone's, when my fingers are resting on the triggers they don't feel inward like that. not to mention they have the built in pulses or w/e.

and yeah, the Ds4 and even Ds3 are low on battery life, but it is a sacrifice worth making for the ease of charging.

 

[Thundercrack85]

The PS4 does have one huge asset. Built-in headphone jack.

The fact that you have to pay 25 bucks to get an adaptor for the Xbone controller is just hilariously sad.

i don't think that's a big deal. the xbone includes a perfectly fine headset with the controller. why would you need anything else?

 

[Thundercrack85]

I like my headphones I already have.

Not everyone wants heavy headphones.

yeah man but it's not that big of a deal... use your favorite pair for music and just stick with what was given to you for xbone

 

[Thundercrack85]

What if I want to watch a blu-ray, and listen with my own head phones?

You can't say there's no demand for this, when people are buying a 25 dollar accessory just to do it.

The Xbox One needs a standardized headphone jack of its own.

but that would have to mean ceasing production on current versions and start with new ones again right?

similar to what sony did with sixaxis --> dualshock 3?

 

[Travesty]

Yeah, the adapter is ridiculous. It's worse than the original one they had for the 360, and low and behold, this one is bigger and more clunky. I personally hate it, and the lack of support for a wireless mic.
