As a PC gamer I only care about the quality of the games, I have no preference for platform as I only want the best gaming experience. I have however noticed that every single Microsoft "exclusive" I've played are extremely choppy/laggy on the xbox one s. I have owned both the original Xbox One and the Slim so I can rule out there being any hardware issue with my consoles. The games in question are

-Quantum Break

-Gears of War Ultimate Edition

-Gears of War 4

-Rise of the Tomb Raider

All the games above are completely unplayable on the Xbox One yet they run at smooth 30fps according to digital foundary. I prefer to play shooters at 80fps + however I seem to feel that Sony shooters like Killzone Shadowfall, Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn run silky smooth even though they only run at 30fps which is what I don't understand at all. Why is it that all Microsoft games run extremely choppy @30fps yet the PS4 games also run at 30fps but provides a much smoother shooting experience? Has anyone else who owns both the PS4 and X1 noticed this?

I heard the XB1 doesn't even turn on. And the XB1S apparently can turn on, but the games are in black and white. Like, serious? This is the eighth gen and you can't make games with colors?

But does this guy have a point? He might be refering to input latency which i know was a problem with rise of the tomb raider at least.

No idea about the other games.

TOP TIP. -

If you smother a Xbox One or Xbox One S in Vaseline it actually makes games run smoother.

Not a lot of people know that.

Completely unplayable... I had no problems playing Quantum, Gears Ultimate and RoTR on Xbone. Sony games don't run silky smooth, both consoles have framerate problems.

This is funny because of how many people start their diatribes this way:

I own all consoles but: console A collects dust/hasn't been turned on in year/is a paperweight....

...as they go on to explain why console B is the superior one. Lol.

Why do people keep on requesting to bring back 500 post rules?

This has been stated too many times it didn't really work out the way the Mods intended to do. It scared off new comers who just wanted to make a thread and if Gamespot Staff made 500 post rule permanent from the start preventing anyone making threads while under 500 post, this wouldn't be a problem but nope. If they want to bring it back, better make it permanent, not waiting for a Moderator to just come and lock the thread.

If you really are a PC gamer as you claim, why in the world would you play those games on Xbox One and not on you're PC?

PS4 however, I can understand.

All Microsoft's efforts this gen seem mediocre except maybe for Forza and Gears of Wars support.
