Which Console?

[saddler_andy]

I bought an xbox one - Liked it.

Found out all of my friends had a ps4 so I switched - I LOVED my 360 so I do miss xbox to be fair.

 

[Skinner]

I'm heading back over to Xbox. I do enjoy the PS4 but in terms of finding new people to play with its shite. It's good if you have a friends list that plays often but other than that; it's pretty boring. All my gamer friends are on the Xone anyway.

Anyone wanna do a swapsie??

3 words.....

Dog, Uncharted and Naughty.

That's a fair point. However with a PS4 I wouldn't be able to play Halo! The only answer is to buy both!

 

[Christian Slater]

On Xbox One but am a little disappointed with the lack of games out in truth.

That's another bonus of having a PS4 to be honest.

That and the sometimes poor online gaming experience? Or has that been improved?

I hear ya. But check GumTree.

My go to console is Xbox One. I have a lot of friends there and i prefer the overall system. Seems alot better for multiplayer/partys. My PS4 Friends list is pretty bare, about 20 people :/

I will keep my PS4 though for exclusives, anything multiplatform I will get for XB1.

Over the summer I'm looking at investing in one of the above consoles. Now more time has passed has anyone changed their opinion on the consoles? I'm leaning towards X-Box One [currently own an 360 and love Halo] but have yet to make a final decision. Any thoughts?

 

[Oaf]

Honestly, if you love Halo, the Master Chief Collection will be the greatest game you ever own if you got an Xbox One. All of the maps/games on one disk... it's magical. And it's finally fixed now as well apparently, after months of being broken as shit.

Plus, you know, Halo 5 later this year...

 

[Lukey]

Still on xbox 360 doubt i'll upgrade any time soon don't really play it that much so doubt id play an xbox 1 or ps4 anymore.

Probs next year i'll upgrade aha

 

[spireite]

Just get a better PC or upgrade, if your PC isn't up to gaming.

 

[Pyeman]

I think the time may have come. I've finished my exam marking so got some spare cash, and the mrs is out all day tomorrow. Thinking of heading out and making a purchase early doors, followed by a day lost in front of the tv.

Just had a look through the games available on both and I think I'm gonna go with X Box One. The Master Chief Collection looks awesome [assuming it works now] which is probably going to swing it.

Anyone got any last minute advice that might sway my decision?

 

[Oaf]

MCC absolutely does work now. You're lucky that you didn't have to go through the months of it being broken, you just get to play it in its incredible, intended form. It's probably the single best video game disk I own in terms of what's on it. If you like Halo, I'd say that it's absolutely justified in that being the thing that swings you onto the Xbox One side.

 

[G.B]

if you like halo you're doing the whole vidya gayms thing wrong

 

[Conker]

I'm getting a XB1 purely for the fact all my mates have one.

I do like my PS4 though and i'm keeping it purely for exclusives ie Uncharted and The Last of Us!

 

[Pyeman]

Done.

Currently installing MCC [which by the way is taking fucking agesssssss!]

Just need to decide where to start now, too many options! Think it's got to be Halo 3 to begin with.

 

[Spirederman]

IMO you've gone the wrong way Pyeman.

Some absolutely amazing looking PS4 exclusives are only just around the corner.
Whereas the Xbone has limited exclusivity for the next Tomb Raider. Not a lot more for the Microsoft lot to be shouting about at the minute as far as I can see.

 

[Conker]

I think exclusivity is a horrid thing, all those xbox players missing out on the Uncharted series!

Halo 5?! Granted, not everybody loves Halo, but if you do it's as exciting as anything else out there right now. And Pyeman seems to be a Halo fan, so it's fair to say that Halo 5 should be held with some value in the exclusives debate...

To be fair the whole issue is pretty much Uncharted 4 vs Halo 5, everything else is just icing.

 

[Pyeman]

Yeah I saw quite a few people online felt that the ps4 offered a better selection of games. But Halo and Fifa were the two biggest draws for me, so X Box made more sense.

For what it's worth, I've never experienced Uncharted, so I wouldn't know what I'm missing. I don't even know what kind of game it is, and I'm lazy to google. Although I've got enough time on my hands since my new X box is still installing Halo, only some three hours after starting! FUCK-FACE OF A MACHINE!!!

Until Dawn, No Man's Sky, Everybody's Gone To The Rapture and The Tomorrow Children all have a huge statement to make in the following months. Mark my words Oaf. You're good anyway, now you have both!!!!

This year's E3 proved that in the short term at least, the Xbox One will have the greater quantity (and quality?) of exclusives.

PS4 has a lot of exclusives planned, No Mans Sky, Last Guardian, Horizon, Last Of Us 2? etc, but we wont' be seeing them for at least 18 months.

Nothing to stop you owning both/swapping for when it suits you best.

Until Dawn is out 26th August.

Can't wait, it looks stunning.

XBOX for me, had a playstation for years but switched over for the next gen. Never looked back.

 

[Gladders]

PC of course, can do everything a console can and more.
