Give me the Xbox One for $399 without any mandatory Kinect bullshit that I'm never going to use, and then we have a deal, Microsoft.

Seriously, I don't want to talk to my Xbox, I don't want to have to tell it to switch to TV, games, or internet. I have a controller for that, and it would work fine. With games being $60, and Xbox Live coming in at $50/year, you're looking at quite the expenditure just to get started.

A real money AH is palatable. But microtransactions? Even if they are purely cosmetic, it's still a complete sham that we churn out $60 for a game, and still are withheld pieces of said game.

I will seriously consider other options for entertainment if this is their route.

So what, more point streaks, loadouts and sprinting? Frank O'Connor already said that they are going to continue in the direction of Halo 4.

As long as they continue to copy whatever the current fad is, they will never be the innovators of the genre that Halo once was.

This game will eventually come to PS4. And I will wait for it.

Wow, let's put another nail in the coffin for Microsoft. I have had an Xbox 360 since launch, been an XBL sub. for almost a decade, and it seems like their time has finally come. I'm going to really miss the M$'s controller, but I will get over it eventually.

I really think the last game I can remember that really hit that JRPG adventure RPG feel was Lost Odyssey, and that wasn't even a Squeenix product (though, Nobuo Uematsu did the musical score, which was phenomenal). It took a varied enough approach to keep fresh ('ring' combat, accessories showing up on characters in cut scenes, dreams/memories [which were a fantastic part of the plot]) and a unique sense of character and humanization).

The last FF game that I played that actually felt like an FF game was probably X.

FF:XI was great, and hopefully XIV:RR will prove to right the wrongs that were evident at launch.

All in all, it's been way too damned long. Please give us a quality title. We have been waiting for so long.

And with the sale of Halo to M$, the Halo series is now just a cash cow.

Must be two of the new exclusive IPs for the Xbox One.

@johnners2981 @giz802 @dominoodle @BlueRaptor7 @Anxiety21 @brothersinarmsb In about one year, I've had Xbox Live for a decade. And I have received... I think 200 MS points in that time span as a "thank you". PS + members consistently get free games as a thanks. This, combined with the recent light on MS's direction for the next generation, leaves me very hurt as a gamer, and as a customer.

@Anxiety21 @brothersinarmsb To watch your cable that you already pay for.
