With all due respect you've just spent several pages telling us how crap the xbox one is you cannot possibly tell anyone you have an unbiased opinion / advice on it!

On what basis could I be considered biased? I had a 360 from launch really enjoyed it. Have had a few gamertags along the way and my current one has a 5 year tenure.

I have spent lots of money on xboxlive/xbox360 games/accessories. But somehow Microsoft have managed to break everything that was good about xbox. Unfortunately people like me, gamers who would of naturally moved onto a xboxone are choosing PS4. An there is a reason,

On the basis you've just spent several pages telling everyone how crap it is. Do keep up.

ITS ONLY MY OPINION, Understand, other have said they think the console is good. So am I to assume they're also biased? Or are are they simply offering up an opinion?

You don't need to shout I know it's your opinion. Others have said it's good yes. YOU have just spent several pages slagging it off though.

Also I didn't say you shouldn't offer your opinion just that the claim it was unbiased was ludicrous.

Re: The Xbox-one is pile of "bleep" thread.

I think he means by the way you've said it. Say you think it's crap once - unbiased, say it 100 times - unbiased. Then state on the 101st time 'my unbiased opinion it's crap' = void.

Or you can see it that if you're been consistent and emphasising as a whole, then it is still unbiased.

Despite your previous claim, it seems that you are still ignoring the questions. As I said before, I am not questioning your opinion that the Xbox One is "crap" - I am questioning your strange choices and contradictory statements.

So, again, can you explain the following?...

You said you had various games for the Xbox One *and* PS4 - rather than bolster your argument, this just looks foolish and a waste of money, especially given your love of graphics and hatred of the console.

You said that you only bought consoles to play exclusives not available on PC - yet you got Titanfall and COD Ghosts with your Xbox One (both available on PC), and Tomb Raider (which you have on PS4 and is also available on PC)... plus of course you said you had a £3300 PC, which really calls into question why you would buy *any* of the games you have mentioned except for MGS Ground Zeroes (the only console exclusive, but one which, strangely, you have on *both* consoles).

You said that you bought the Xbox One for Halo and Titanfall - yet Halo is not out yet (and not even dated), and you have previously slated Titanfall as being "crap".

Why didn't you just get it on PC in the first place, instead of buying an Xbox One for it?

You know, given that you previously said that you have a "very very powerful PC that cost £3300 to build in december 2013" and that you only buy consoles "for the exclusives that will not appear on PC"...

Of course, as you also previously said that it is a "mindlessly dumb FPS with Mechs and no brain needed to play it" and that it is "like COD, apart from its crap", then why did you buy it at all anyway?

The screen tear and framerate issues on the Xbox One version of Titanfall were well known before you bought it... They were even known about during the beta (which you took part in). I find it hard to believe that someone so obsessed with graphical performance would not have read about the issues with Titanfall's performance on the Xbox One, nor noticed them himself when playing the beta.


So:

- Given that the technical issues with the Xbox One version of Titanfall were known about before you bought your Xbox One + Titanfall.

- And given that you played and hated the Titanfall beta before you bought your Xbox One + Titanfall.

- And given that even if you did actually like Titanfall, rather than consider it to be "crap", you would obviously have been better off getting it for your £3300 PC rather than the Xbox One.

- And given that you previously claimed you only buy consoles for exclusives, because you have a £3300 PC for everything else.

... Then why oh why did you buy an Xbox One with Titanfall?

Why claim you only buy consoles for exclusives, and yet later claim that you bought the Xbox One for Titanfall (which is not exclusive)? [and why buy other games that are not exclusives]

Why say you think that Titanfall is "crap", and yet later claim that you bought the Xbox One for Titanfall?


All of the issues you have with the Xbox One were well known before you bought it, so why buy it? For the exclusives? But you clearly didn't get it for exclusives. For Titanfall? But you hate Titanfall.

Do you deliberately buy things you know that you will hate just so that you can rant about them online?

I've some magic beans I can sell you. The graphics are terrible but it'll give you something slightly more relevant to moan about.

I fail to see your whole thinking behind this thread, other than a willy waving contest about your very expensive computer. The graphical differences between the X1 and PS4 were already well known to anyone with the slightest interest in gaming.

To buy one knowing this and then moan about it is pretty strange IMO.

Re: The Xbox-one is pile of "bleep" thread.

Because I can isn't really an answer though. It's just a cop out.

Like asking why I stood one one leg for an hour and giving because I can as the answer.

You must really have WANTED the console and the game, If you already knew of the console limitations and issues.

Any normal person would have just bought it for PC if they had a £3300 gaming rig.

I saw it on a good offer, I bought it, it's a bit crap. I'm not losing any sleep.

No one here ever impulse buy?

Re: The Xbox-one is pile of "bleep" thread.

Impulse buy yes but usually sweets or a game not an actual console or anything expensive. I've normally thought about something like that and know I want one.

If that was me and I had a £3300 PC I would have just bought the game for PC as it would look better and also be a lot cheaper especially knowing the graphical issues the game has on the One.

Like you said "if it was me" well it wasn't you it was me so that's settled that. You do know that there is no need for you to understand why I buy the things I do. God damn 3 weeks ago on a trip to birmingham I bought 3 pairs on levis 501's an guess what? I bought another pair of jeans today.

Re: The Xbox-one is pile of "bleep" thread.

Microsoft know that there are problems with the Xbox one at the moment, which is why they are continually improving it, albeit slowly, with system updates/OS updates, as other people have said, games at the moment don't run at 1080p, because developers need to get to grips with the system to take full advantage of its capabilities. Yes sure there are broken features, but as I said above in this post Microsoft are fixing the problems slowly and are responding to customer feedback

Wahoooo a comment about the actual xboxone, not how I choose spend to money. You raise some good points, I hope you're right because right now the console is a mess.
