It seems whenever MS announces something or releases a new game there's always an angry mob with pitchforks ready, MS has been great at improving the X1 after the initiative fuckup in 2013 so I don't quite understand the hatred towards MS. Can anyone explain?

Gamers haven't forgiven MS on the whole Xbox One reveal back in 2013, MS cannot get enough or actually secure Xbox One exclusive games cause PS4 as of now has way more exclusive games, Xbox One price was too damn high at launch then PS4 and force Kinect into everyone's throat from the start which nobody ask for. MS waited to damn long to lower the damn price of a weakest console. Too many Halos/Gears of War/Forza is cause everyone to be piss off at MS. And finally, MS is moving towards supporting windows 10 as they aren't even trying with there own console that is the Xbox One.

I'm sorry but MS isn't even trying this gen and last-gen, they had it all until, they throw it away over some stupid medias.

It is not like Sony is trying either. Their first party PS4 lineup is almost as bad as their PS1 lineup. They have relied heavily on third party support and having the more powerful hardware and better consumer sentiment. This generation has been a bust so far when it comes to first party games.

This gen is aging faster, way more so then it was for last-gen. Both Sony/MS underestimate there own consoles and it's showing why both wanted to upgrade there consoles.

Why should they give favorable coverage to a product the market is clearly hostile to? By the end of this year, if it doesn't start moving millions of consoles by some miracle, it will be tracking worse than the original XBox.

It's far riskier to tank your site or news organization trying to spit shine this turd than it is to let it ride.

Like I said at the very beginning of this generation, Microsoft could bend over backwards to re-wrap the Xbone and give it a shiny new box. They could bathe it in new marketing materials and give all the softball sales pitch interviews with senior leadership in the world.

It will not undo the fact that it is a weak console tethered at its very foundation to a bad design philosophy and they can't just wave a magic wand and make people forget how they tried to use the gaming press as it's personal bitch by making no mention of their original intent with the DRM at their own reveal event.

I don't want to say it has a "media bias", but what I will say is the stigma from all of that is still intact and it's still directly affecting it in every capacity.

For the sake of lems and the Xbox brand, no; they should not. Otherwise, sure.

I did, and everyone else joined in when they realised who you were. You didn't announce it (you didn't have to it was so obvious) you were outed. MS-worshipping troll revealed on first sighting.

You'll have to try harder with your next one.

I will definitely say it has a media bias and I do not like the thing. Compare Halo 3s launch to Halo 5 and it becomes obvious.

Yeah, that's not correct at all, I was having a conversation with you and Legend I believe and posted my Steam account and PC specifications 'outing' myself, so you might want to work out your Alzheimer's.

The thread you were outed in had no mention of your imaginary Steam account or your PC which you never, EVER play games on it was a different subject and I pointed out who you were immediately, Lostrib (who gives not a flying f*** about your pretend PC gaming existence) spotted it immediately also.

Outed, weirdo.

Hilarious. You tear the PS4 apart the whole time while bigging up one of the worst consoles ever (Xbox One) even to the point you ask if anyone should play the truly shitty version of QB on Xbox One over playing a vastly superior version on a high end PC. You bleat on endlessly about how amazing the PC is but never ever talk about PC games (i.e. you don't play them) then when it comes to the crunch you choose a piece of junk console over your alleged expensive PC because at the end of the day you're an Xbox Fanboy and apologist first and foremost over all things not a gamer of any description.

Let's face it you're a complete tool.

I don't "tear the PS4 apart", I tear apart the unrealistic values, absurd hype and notoriety surrounding it, people drum that thing up to such unrealistic levels, they need to be grounded, it's as simple as that.

"Vastly superior version"

First and foremost I am a PC gamer through and through, it is the platform I have gamed on the longest and the one I will defend most staunchly. Here's the thing though, what do I need to defend the PC from? There's nothing even remotely close to an impending threat so I don't need to go buck wild defending it, consoles in general are junk in comparison. The only thing the PC needs defense from is shitty game output, poor development decisions such as what is going on with this game.

I can't make use of one of my $550 GPU's because of no exclusive fullscreen, I can't make use of the features of my $700 monitor because of no exclusive fullscreen, I won't have precision from my $70 mouse because vsync is forced due to no exclusive fullscreen... Am I painting you a clear enough picture here? $1,320 of my hardware has been gimped simply because of UWP implementation, so of course I'm pissed off...

You think that's not going to affect me playing and enjoying this game? Say I get 35 FPS average, the thought will be in my head the entire time that I could be getting 60+ with Crossfire but can't, not because of some hardware limitation, because of a limitation in the platform the game is on. Sure I may get a higher framerate and will be able to play at a higher resolution, but at what cost? Not to mention what is the point in having a high precision input device like a gaming mouse if it's completely contradicted by vsync?

That's the point you don't seem to understand in your complete arrogance and ignorance, what version of the game would I be more unhappy playing? The version I was expecting to play on console with an output I was expecting, that even though 'inferior' was expected since 2013, or a PC version that got announced a month ago that under-delivers on multiple fronts and makes me upset because of how many things I have to sacrifice? This isn't hard to understand, but you're such a damn baby brain you can't see the logic in this...

Oh yeah, look at me, I don't play any games on PC, I don't own a gaming PC... Get out of here you trollish pleb, you're the only one here I'd call into question...

Steam

There might be, but I'm cool with it. There has been absolutely nothing that makes me want to buy a One. PS4 isn't much better, but that at least has a touch more variety in exclusives.

Is there a media bias against the XB1 hmmmm, first you must ask yourself this, does a bear shit in the woods?

The review of Dirt rally is a just 1 example of Gamespot's bias. They praised the PS4 version up against the PC, with it being 1080p 60fps, but yet never even mentioning the game even existed on the XB1 or that it runs at 1080p 60fps.

After 15 years of the Xbox brand having mediocre games you would think lems would finally realize M$ just sucks at making games.

I'll just say this if you don't own a gaming PC, the X1 is a better console than the PS4.

I remember when cows would cry about perceived media bias. No, your favorite inanimate object isn't being conspired against.

Yes, they are biased.

Who could hate the Xboner when it got Rare Replay?

I don't want to say it has a "media bias", but what I will say is the stigma from all of that is still intact and it's still directly affecting it in every capacity.

I will definitely say it has a media bias and I do not like the thing. Compare Halo 3s launch to Halo 5 and it becomes obvious.

Not really, it just means there are more cows

Honestly, I wonder if MS is spending as much on marketing the XBone as they did the 360. Last gen, you couldn't turn on TV for an hour or two without seeing a direct 360 commercial or a game with the 360 splash after it (multiplat or exclusive). We all know that the media chases advertising dollars. I just figured that MS is in hibernation mode. Their game release cycle, so far, has been utterly shit as well.

Speaking as somebody looking at a career in media, I always find it funny that anybody thinks we as a collective are together enough to conspire against anything, and that's actual media. Games "journalism" is even more uncoordinated.

It seems whenever MS announces something or releases a new game there's always an angry mob with pitchforks ready, MS has been great at improving the X1 after the initiative fuckup in 2013 so I don't quite understand the hatred towards MS. Can anyone explain?

Absolutely. The media has been one big group of Sony ballwashers ever since the PS4 was announced. Of course they can't give the Xbone One a fair break ...
