Buying an Xboxone a wise decision?
I've been considering an Xboxone lately, even tho i already have a ps4 "plus a WiiU" but all my friends have told me it would be pointless cause the games on both next gen consoles are the same except for a few exclusives, thing is i never play my ps4 as i still have yet to find any games on it of any true interest "Bloodborne is just Dark Souls with a different atmosphere, Dying Light is just Dead Island with different characters, ect, ect, the games are just bland" but i'm seriously getting sick of the same 360 games and the only decent games on WiiU are the few Mario games which obviously hold no entertainment after you've beaten them dozens of times, all this considered would it be wise to buy an Xboxone? or a waste of money?
:005:

exactly and might i just add that i am getting really sick of constantly being pressure to buy a damn PC, I DON'T WANT A FREAKIN PC! i'm not into pc gaming, sorry if that hurts your feelings man, its just not my preferred method of gaming. even if it was i haven't the slightest chance of affording a decent one.

Unless you are talking about elsewhere, I didn't see where anyone was "pressuring" you into buying a pc. He suggested it.

Lol, you can build a PC the same price as the Xbox One and it will still be better in terms of graphics and power sure it's not going to be a beast of a gaming PC but at least for the same price you can get more for your money plus you got Modding communities for certain games
The new consoles are basically PC's anyway, but they are just restricted to be consoles I say it is a waste of money because all the old games are just being ported over to the new consoles with upgraded graphics and a few other updates
I also don't understand why people who play on console think you have to pay out a ridiculous amount of money for a gaming PC and then think they have to keep on upgrading it when you don't, you can change the graphics options on PC games so even if your PC can't handle games turn the graphics settings down either way it will still look better than consoles
It can be debated until the end of time, but the PC will always come out on top for what it offers to the table... Good luck on what ever you buy anyway :)

1. NO you fucking CAN'T!!!! show me proof! you can't! because it doesn't exist! 700$ at the VERY minimum is what you'll pay if you want a pc that'll run practically anything worth a damn! not to mention the controller port, tv port so you can play on your tv and not be forced to play on monitor with mouse controls. that alone is gonna run you at least another 300$!
2. maybe i just DON'T LIKE PC GAMING! ever think of that??? why does everything have to be about pc? anytime anyone mentions anything related to consoles, some rich spoiled shmuck has to come out with "b..b..b..b..but PC is what y..y..you need, and you can get one cheap too! a thousand dollars is cheap!" sorry for sounding like a dick but i was asking advice on a CONSOLE NOT a freakin pc!!! jeez... you rich bastards act like EVERYONE is made of billions.

Re: Buying an Xboxone a wise decision?
Well as we all know you can get all the games for PC no problems plus new generation with cheats and trainers
Buying a new generation console not my advice plus the reselle values is in the crapper once you realize you like ps4 more then XBOXONE and so on
Well that is my opinion

Re: Buying an Xboxone a wise decision?
For under $1k, you can put together a PC that has better graphical power than the Xbone or the PS4.
As a friend of mine told me, putting together a good gaming PC is expensive because it's an investment, you're going to be using it a very long time. It's really cheap in the long run.
If you want to, I'd say go ahead and buy an Xbone, but the PS4 has a better game library and performance.

yeah but see i already have a ps4 and never seem to play it, untill recently with MKX but even that game got boring after about 2 freakin hours, ESPECIALLY once i realized the online was the same dickwads they were with MK9 where everybody just picks the op'ed characters endlessly and the entire experience is just a series mirror matches or getting destroyed by the same character endlessly, not to mention graphic and gameplay wise its really just a nicely polished different version of MK9 imo..

the only reason i would tell you to buy a X1 is if you know of any exclusive that you want to play that are out right now, otherwise i would think you would get bored of it like with the ps4, if there are not any out right now better off waiting till the exclusives you want to play come out

exactly how i feel, only difference is i'm fortunate enough to still own all my old consoles so emulators aren't neccesary, imo the main problem with todays gaming is its literally ALL just more of the same, example's include: Bloodborne = Dark Souls with slightly better graphics "and i use the term *slightly* very loosely as imho i've yet to see a next gen game which *truly* looks like something last gen consoles couldn't handle" Dying Light = Dead Island with different characters and a day and night transition added, wow.. big fukin whoop, ps3 and 360 could EASILY have pulled off the exact same day and night transition on BOTH DI games that Dying Light has on next gen consoles, in fact after playing Dying Light and returning it to gamestop without even beating it i'll even go as far as to say last gen consoles could have handled that game just fine, not to mention DI Riptide was way funner as well, example: on Riptide i can take a running sprint and freakin mule kick a zombie sending him flying clear across the screen smashing head first into the side of an SUV in a hilarious splatter of bloody mess! can't do THAT on Dying Light!!! lol MKX is literally NOTHING but a *slightly* polished new version of MK9 and i had high, HIGH hopes for that one! only to find that once again the previous one "MK9" was MUCH better designed in nearly every aspect! see? the problem from what i can tell so far with todays gaming industry is they are no longer moving forward, they're simply going backwords, year after year, crapping out more and more of the same shittyness with no explanation as to why and no sign at all of stopping.. yeah, todays gaming industry can eat a dick far as i'm concerned.
:011:
EDIT- btw sorry for calling you 8 a few posts back, not sure why i got you and 8Ball mixed up with each other, you'd think after being part of the haven community for the past 3 years i'd at least know all the regs screen names. lol

Indeed, it's all recycled bullshit presented with a cherry on top if you look back on all of the retro games you can see how they actually put effort into the games I wish big developers made more retro type games with a modern touch from todays generation

bro there are so many retro games i would give anything to see an HD remake of the list could go on forever.. unfortunately most devs look at this as a waste of time and it doesn't help that there are hundreds of idiots out there who for whatever reason are solely AGAINST the creation of HD remakes so almost none of these classics will ever get the proper modern treatment they so clearly deserve, *sigh* if todays game developers only knew how much money they could make if they would just stop being morons with modern tech and actually do something USEFUL with it.. but that'll never happen.

Modern Dev's won't produce anything like the bygone retro games anymore purely because of conglomerates such as EA consuming every small producer worth a damn and overlording every game they spit out after with ridiculous quota's to make a quick buck (DAII anyone?!). Then there are the other big-boy Dev's with the ethos of "well you liked it before so we'll give it to you again..and again..and again but this time we made it just that little bit shinier for you" and we fall for it every god-damn time...urgh! They won't push out the HD remakes either until there is a chance they'll go under - we all know FFVII HD is SquareEnix's ace in the hole. The only game I'm actually looking forward to this gen is The Witcher 3.

Re: Buying an Xboxone a wise decision?
Buy one with OUT the spy cam....lol
The games are slowly coming out.... the good ones, that is... but they are coming. I would wait till the 2TB one comes out. should be out this summer if ya can wait.
No use in buying a PC... I have 2 Gaming PC's, and i tell you the truth i never play it any more. Stuck on Xbone.

yeah.. true, true, and true. not sure what to say except you're absolutely right, unfortunately.. i'm looking forward to The Witcher 3 as well but not getting my hopes too high, cause every time i've been excited for a new game its been a total disappointment, example: i waited on MKX to the point of nearly camping outside Gamestop for it to hit shelves, in fact when i drove up to get my preordered copy the day it released the guy was literally unlocking the store, opening up with key in hand and said to me "damn dude, lemme guess, you're here for MKX aren't you? you gotta be the biggest MK fan i've ever met to be here this early" well when i got the game home i played for about 2 hours before getting bored, played it a few more times the following week in 30 minute increments and haven't touched it since as its just an upgraded version of MK9 with a few different characters. this has been the norm each and every time i get excited for a game.

Re: Buying an Xboxone a wise decision?
At the moment best desicion is PS4, during it's pluses, confirming to XBox One.
Other aspect is, as I do know, PS3 hacked way more after, than XBox360. So... if you hope for some kind of Freeboot, you should try XBox one, imao.
