Short Pause: "Happy second birthday, Xbox One! Bolstered by constant improvements and new system features via monthly updates, as well as a steady flow of well-received exclusives throughout the year, the Xbox One is positioning itself as a strong gaming console heading into 2016. Phil Spencer and company have done an admirable job of turning the Xbox One's image around during the system's first two years, and it's exciting thinking about what this gaming-first future holds for Microsoft's home console. In honor of the Xbox One's second birthday, we have put together our list of our 10 favorite games available as of right now. We haven't played everything, but we've played a lot, and these are the ten games we've had the best time with."
A new update is now available for Fallout 4. This update adds the ability to manage your control over graphic fidelity or performance and addresses some further stability and visual issues.
How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.
I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.
Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."
It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder
That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game
The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.
It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.
I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.
I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.
It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Solid list, though I'm not sure I'd keep Titanfall over Destiny. Don't get me wrong, I think Titanfall was a good game, but I think with the Taken King and Update 2.0, Destiny has evolved in to a much better game and a much better experience. I've yet to play Ori and the Blind Forest but everyone I've talked to who has played speaking very highly of it, and seeing as I'm a huge fan of platformers, I think it's time I take that plunge and pick it up.
Happy birthday, XB1.
My top 10 games thus far on the big X:
1. HALO 5
2. Forza 6
3. Rise of the Tomb Raider
4. Ori
5. Forza Horizon 2
6. Halo MCC
7. Sunset Overdrive
8. Dead Rising 3
9. Titanfall
10. Rare Replay
Of course with every major AAA games, BC, and upcoming 2016 and beyond exclusives, are tons and tons to play on XB1.
Would definitely have Sunset Overdrive on my list. That game is so good. Though the author listed D4 which means we aren't really on the same page.
Nice to see all 10 list items on one page.
