    Sounds like the dude is just frustrated that xbone doesnt really have much for itself

    His actual complaint is that Xbox One players have to pay for XBL to play stuff online, while PC players don't have to

    Yeah, but an xbone and a couple years of live are cheaper than a decent PC still. Plus you get a bunch of games with your live subscription.

    LIke, if you already have a PC, then nothing much has changed since you can pick which version to get (or get a package that includes both).

    If you only have an Xbone, you are literally in the same boat you were before, with the exception that you might be able to pawn off that new PC code.

    If you only have a PC, guess what, you can play this game now!

    Really, the only downside here is optics, as Crackdown 3 is likely the ony announced 2016 Xbone exclusive not also coming to PC (Gears4 was mentione but removed from the article); but that really only matters to people who have decent PC's. Those exclusives are still meaningful between people picking between Xbone and PS4.

    Also help me out; is Xbone non-stupid now? I can't tell if it's accepted parlance or not.

    Xbone is still kinda considered the jokey nickname, I also see a lot of XB1 and XBO.

    I had strongly considered using the term "Xboners" instead of Xbox One players, but I was afraid people would mistake my tone.

    100%ed Rise of the Tomb Raider. That's a heck of a game. It got pretty close to doing a thing that would have turned me off of it entirely nearish to the end but then didn't, so I was happy.

    Now I have to decide if I want to take a break and play something else or pick up Endurance Mode and start on that.

    I'm on the Xbone and I usually just call it the Xbone.

    I think calling it the xbone is suitable punishment for naming the third iteration of the console "console one"

    this gen of consoles had some really stupid names. except the playstation 4, that makes sense.

    For whatever else sony has done right or wrong, they locked down the best console naming scheme early

    Nah, they just have to pay ~1000 more dollars for a machine that meets the recommended specs. Sure you can get by on minimum specs (which still costs more than an xbone) but that rarely works out well for performance.

    I don't have numbers, but with games being easier to get cheap on PC, I feel like you make at least some of that up on the back end.

    Jesus christ that ending. I'm guessing it wasn't at all possible to get crown protection of Ironrath or for ethan to live? I'm not sure what could have gone differently.

    So, officially no Assassin's Creed this year, but Activision confirmed a new Call of Duty. No CoD this year wasn't really a possibility, I know, but I was kinda hoping to see what the gaming landscape would look like this fall if both AssCreed and CoD vacated the board.

    microsoft is smart to try to actually for real start building a pc audience because there may not even be an xbox 4, xbox may just be their gaming brand for windows

    it's less "XBOX IS DOOOOOOMED" and more "microsoft is smart to hedge their bets, just in case"

    I will never call it anything other than Xbone. It takes the least amount of time to say and is immediately clear what I'm talking about. Also it sounds goofy and I will always prefer things that are fun to say.

    Well,that's what happens when your game gets delayed for over a decade and then comes out and is complete garbage.
