I hope you all enjoyed the video, it took a ton of time. If you did consider sharing it to your friends :).
What should we talk about next?
I haven't seen you mention new Marathon yet. any thoughts on what you hope for it to be like?
@@angrjams7683 Im cautiosly excited. Hope to see Bungie have a fun take on the extraction shooter genre in a way that makes it more approachable, but doesn't kill all the depth like DMZ does.
Bungie does gameplay very well so I am hoping to see a very fun take, but also who knows. It could suck :D
you forgot halo wars 2
what is the game at time 9:08
Imagine losing L
I feel they’ve never recovered from the Xbox One reveal in 2013.
A truly baffling presentation. They told me how it could watch TV... on my TV. Which can already watch TV. They spent more time talking about American sports that only apply to the USA and Wheel of Fortune than they did about games. It was like it was directed by The Onion.
They keep digging their hole deeper thinking they’ll end up in china
Without good new Halo game, so do Xbox's existence in the first place? 🤷
You know, Xbox without Halo = XBozo
One could say that they’ve been sucking since the Kinect gimmick.
@@princegroove and you’d be correct
To me, Xbox started going downhill in 2010 with the release of the Kinect. Microsoft turned their backs on their core audience and then chose to double down with the botched announcement of the Xbox One. This planted them firmly at the bottom of the pile when it came to gaming reputation.
Around the middle of the 2010s, Microsoft gave up on matching Sony and Nintendo for console sales and integrated with PC. A good move to make their games more accessible, but they didn't back this up with solid new IPs.
Coming up to today, Microsoft arguably hasn't had a new killer app since Gears of War. They insist on pushing game pass and buying up developers without putting in the hard work and substance into their exclusives. All told, Xbox just feels hollow nowadays, lacking identity and soul.
They have Starfield tho which you'll never be able to play on PS 😎😎
@@hugopereira5640 I wish Microsoft and Bethesda luck on that one. Between the failure of Redfall and the critical downturn of Fallout 76, both companies need a big blockbuster. Let's see how Starfield turns out next month.
@@hugopereira5640wow 1 game doesnt fix their identity
@@Snaaake_Beater True, I was just kidding, PS got better exclusives by a wide margin. Not only amazing games like Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War (2018) but also their sequels. There's just no way Microsoft can compete. I still hope Starfield is everything that's hyped up to be, both for gamers sake but also for the Xbox. Sony has been kicking their asses left and right in the games department and it's almost unfair at this point lol
🤣Gears on War was a stupid soulless series from the beginning. With pumped-up men, wretched animation, lack of a sane plot, and boring mechanics. Microsoft has never been able to make games, and they are very far from the Japanese depth and elegance. I think going to Game Pass was the right decision. MICROSOFT IS a boring corporation, without a soul, but it has a lot of money and resources, this is its strength. But the complete lack of creativity, and the soul of the artist in the games. Why compete with a competitor in his field when you can enhance your strengths? Microsoft did the right thing.🤗
People got so confused with their naming conventions that noone wanted the headache of figuring out which model is new, old, slim, etc.
The xbox series is the worst naming MS has done.
@@ElJosher fr i know someone who got an one x for christmas instead of the series x
@@valveezy6672 it was bound to happen.
@@ElJosherthe xbox one was also a bad name. Back when my dad first told me he would buy me an xbox i had to call up my cousin and ask him if the one or 360 was better cause I didn’t know anything about consoles.
@@-carpet- lol
I think you’re spot on here, I feel like an old man saying things were better in 2007 - but it’s right. Redfall was a great example of what’s wrong with Xbox at the moment - they’re just in it to get paid and gamepass does that so why try harder
redfall is just a blunder and microsoft didn't even had any control of that since the game is already in development before they bought bethesda. and have you forgot they literally just relaased one of the GOTY contenders this year, which is hifi rush.
@@pmpmpmpmpmpmpm Regards Redfall - I’ve no idea how it got past quality control, assuming they have any QC. They don’t have to hype and then release poor quality and/or incomplete projects regardless of when they began development.
Hifi Rush for GOTY? It’s at the back of a very long queue RE4, Zelda, FF16 or even Dead Space are all so much better.
I’d love it not to be the case but Xbox have been dropping the ball more often than not for a while now.
Redfall wasn’t even touched by Microsoft - that was Bethesda trying to cash in on a era where live services were everywhere , they then pivoted to remove the live service & had a shell of a game.
You can’t really attribute Microsoft to redfall’s failure as much as you seem to want to.
Bethesda were in charge of that & dropped the ball. Phil just took the bullet publicly
. bro. it's 💯 % Microsoft's fault. They've OWNED them for well over a year since the Microsoft DECIDED to release the game AND start charging $70 for that piece of broken shit.
Call it what it is, bro.
Microsoft is only after swallowing the market with Money 💰 and Nothing else.
@@thedoncjg6263 Bruh It's their Culture (mediocre). Birds with Same Feathers are same bird. something like that.
Xbox has never recovered from 2013
Still better then ps5 I rather have more games then boring ass exclusives
@@canyoudrift that’s objectively incorrect
@@canyoudrift shocking take
@@canyoudriftya… bro being an Xbot ain’t gunna win you anything…
@@Jackosaurus117Nope, that's objectively correct. Not a single PS exclusive is actually playable, their just boring cinematic games.
No year in gaming will ever top 2007. Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Orange Box, Mario Galaxy, Crysis, CoD4, Metroid Prime 3, Assassin's Creed, R&C Tools of Destruction, Uncharted and Rock Band just to name a few
Halo died. That's what happened.
yeah tbh it did
Halo was murdered
Their online service lost its advantage as well.
Gaming from 1996-2012 was just an absolute golden age
Dont forget 2013 where we got games like Splinter cell blacklist, Tomb raider reboot,sleeping dogs and so on🙌
Gaming is developing into the same realm that movies are. Pieces of work without identity and just pure trash. The magic is gone.
PS1/PS2 🔥
Well, currently we have really good games too, it's just that the amount of trash has increased equally
@@alexandee00717 I think the quality of xbox is boring nowadays Xbox 360 and OG xbox crushing the time period of 2013 -2023 .
It is extreme boring these days I only play COD and EA FC because it is boring on my xbox for over a decade , I really think it has become so boring that you no longer look forward to anything because there is nothing, such a first Gears of War experience that you will never get again in this way, the path that Xbox has taken
You hit on something here: Games coming out with problems, broken, or unfinished.
This is Hugely a Leadership problem with Microsoft
Saying that Banjo & Kazooie nuts and bolts had fans is really pushing it lmao
Starfield is going to suck, and at this point there is no one to blame but these idiots that pre-order AAA games. The entire reason that pre-orders existed in the first place was so that GameStop could reserve a physical copy for you and you didn't run the risk of the game selling out. At this point with video games being all digital, there is literally no reason to pre-order a game.
You were right Baldurs Gate 3 humiliated Starfish
This aged marvelously, they’re even handing out their exclusives now.
It’s time!!!!!!
Noice! However, I still won’t buy their mediocre trash.
@@princegroove shut up
That’s so out of context, quit rage baiting for the sake of UA-cam likes. The games that lost its exclusivity was solely selected because those 4 titles didn’t feel as if it should’ve been exclusive as the Xbox dev team & Phil Spencer said in their interview about this situation. Not to mention the games they selected were at its peak value in the Xbox market and Microsoft wanted to expand its horizons on players by giving it out to other consoles. Stop hating because Microsoft is doing a something small to bring gamers together.
@@EternalKorvo Been time! Money talks, my guy. 😆
There was a time back in the late part of the 6th gen when I would visit friends who had an original Xbox (I was more of a PS2/GC guy) and had tons of fun with an exclusive library of games that were not only good, but gave a whole different vibe to what I was used to, similar to what the Dreamcast did in 1999. They kept that ball rolling nicely until the middle of the 7th gen when it just stopped. I still wonder why they lost trust in the winning formula that had been building up Ws for them since the og Xbox and forced themselves to try other stuff.
I know the Xbox was popular amidst western developers because Nintendo and Sony were failing to provide good English documentation of their consoles, so Maybe Nintendo and Sony stepped up their game? IDK
they saw the absurd success of the Wii and started trying to copy it with Kinect. from then on its felt like they’re always trying too hard to innovate the nature of gaming instead of just making good games
Man you nailed this video. It kills me that I constantly get called a Pony for criticizing MS for these same reasons. Man I just want good games regardless of platform!
Even in that Xbox is doing bad(meaning you getting called a Pony).
Xbox fans have become just bitter name callers. Sure all consoles have their share of toxic fans but now our days it seems Xbox has just mostly that.
A few days ago i was looking for some Xbox news UA-camrs to see some Xbox news, all i found was bitter children not really talking about their console and games but just spewing poison against that other console and any person that wrote anything on twitter that annoyed them or something.
When turning to PlayStation news, the first videos i found was just some excited guys about new Playstation updates and coming games. Many of them didn't even bother with what Xbox was doing let along call out twister comments of an Xbox fan or anything.
Just channels with Plasystation news and upcoming games etc.
Maybe there are some man children PlayStation creators there, probably there are but they weren't the first thing i found and nether were the prevalent thing.
Same with Nintendo just creators excited about next Switch and recommending great Switch games or talking about some bad port on their console etc.
With Xbox though is just a circle-jerk of "pony" name-calling and bitterness. Even the fan media of Xbox makes you not want to be part of Xbox.
You still are a pony. Most of the xbox games I play aren't exclusive, because most games aren't exclusive, and are much better than exclusives. It just seems your making an excuse to say PS is better.
@@bearpoop720 I'm not making an excuse to Say PS is better. I'm stating that Xbox is far worse than they used to be. Didn't even say a thing about PS. That's great that you're enjoying a ton of games that aren't exclusive. I too enjoy a ton of 3rd party games. That doesn't make Xbox games any better! I want to see XBOX make really good XBOX games like they used to.
It’s called gaming. It’s all about the games. It’s as simple as that.
Ok grandma. Let’s get you back to the care home
@@brentschmogbert if hes your grandma then you must have dementia
Yup and with Gamepass I have access to a ridiculous amount for cheap 😂
@@neoconker2k8but you dont own them
@snaaakebbeater575 And ?....
I really hope this Xbox showcase knocks it out of the park, cuz damn you're 100% right. Xbox lost their way so badly in many ways, it's so unfortunate. Once they changed the Xbox 360 boot animation for when the Kinect launched, that is where it started. I play across all the platforms, and it really sucks to see where Xbox is now. I know it's bad when one of my reasons I support stuff like for example, Atlus releasing Persona for the first time on Xbox, is out of pity (aside from loving Atlus games and how weird it is to see more on Xbox lmao). Good to see third party support getting better, even if some are doomed to sell poorly, but I really wanna see strong first party games again. Nearly everything they push out now looks so uninteresting, with few exceptions that they consider not as important for some reason. Just like you said, Hi-Fi Rush!
Thank you the hardware is good it’s the software but they have changed and allowed for backwards compatibility and the dev mode with retro games
as netflix is on downfall, interesting to see how game pass will fair... it has pros and cons but I heard it aint very sustainable business model for game studio viewpoint perhaps.
this perspective is why x360 generation felt magical.... I couldnt care less of hardware, as long as interesting games like atlus portfolio came coming, not to mention first time lot of playstation exclusive jrpgs despite xbox being very marginal in japan at that time.
It won't, Nowadays everything is just abothe numbers$ Watch Rockstar release a red dead remaster for 50$🤦🏻♂️
If only!! I’d pay $79 for a red dead remaster, as long as it’s super faithful to the original.
Microsoft did kick the showcase out of the park.
And now, Starfield is soooooooo great..
The ps3 online wasn't bad at all. Worked great although didn't have party chat 😢. But it was free and made people have to talk to other people. And cuz it was free, it was a wild wild west on there. The things u could say. But ya it was only like a year and the online was working good and was free to play
Yeah its such a shame that xbox has gone downhill but even though I'm mostly a PlayStation guy, I love the Xbox 360 because it has awesome games with best graphics, the controller design is comfortable and smooth, I love the startup sound and UI, and it has backwards compatibility meaning that you can play any original xbox games on the 360, and speaking of backward compatibility you can even play any 360 games on the Xbox one or series X/S. I really wish that ps4 and 5 has backwards compatible so you can play any ps1, 2, or 3 games.
Yessss.....I was so annoyed that I had to re-purchase a couple of my ps3 games in order to play it on ps5 :(. Still love playstation though..
I bought my first ps4 in 2017, then downloaded horizon zero dawn, then I got stuck for 5 mins until I pressed r3, then I got absolutely hooked, no, I loved horizon…
5 years later and I bought HFW, and the dlc in 2023, Horizon is my fav franchise, Astro bot is the 2nd…
Shame the backwards compatibility is half-arsed though.
I do hope Microsoft competes with Xbox like they did with the 360. It put Sony on its toes to push to become what it is today. My big fear now is game pass which like any streaming service is not sustainable especially if devs don’t want to put in game pass because of low $$. Even Microsoft knw its almost capped with subscribers and isn’t growing as much anymore. They need to support an ecosystem like console and exclusive games to attract and really that’s it. It’s like releasing something good quality is harder than game pass lol
Game pass feels more like a digital blockbuster.... rent a game to see if it's any good without shelling out full price. They need to put out some W's cuz' I honestly don't see the appeal of paying $15 a month.
Problem is that making quality games isn’t ‘profitable’ for them unless it’s full of shitty micro transactions, aka all the slop that HAS been released as of late. Hi-Fi rush is like the lone needle in a haystack of turds and they ruined Halo’s reputation for cash grabs.
@@maxmikester8185And it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get better as they are buying crappy big studios like Bethesda and Activision+Blizzard whose golden days are long gone. Most of the big studios Microsoft has bought are more interested in making cash grabs than passionate games.
Problem is without good new Halo game, so do Xbox's existence in the first place? 🤷
You know, Xbox without Halo = XBozo
@@alyasVictorio brands can always have a new flagship IP. For Sony during PS3 and early PS4 era, it used to be Uncharted. Now it’s the Spider-Man games. During PS1 era it was Crash Bandicoot. During the PS2 era it was Ratchet and Clank. This often happens because companies often milk once specific IP until people get bored (unless you are Nintendo). So they need to constantly come up with an IP that is associated with their brand. Even Nintendo did this with Splatoon. Xbox has failed to do this and they have relied too much on Forza and Halo. There is no single Microsoft published game on Xbox that actually showcases what their console is capable of. Sony on the other hand makes games that play to their console’s strengths and you can see that when you play those games.
Realeasing their exclusives onto PC killed of the Xbox.
No it was the lack of good games
@@JahonCross that too and what I said also
The 360 had so so many good games. Ive kept my system just to play em all
Crazy that Xbox has been bad longer than it has been good.
I would say 30 percent of xbox 360 users moved to ps4. Which was HUGE
I love my Series X as a peice if hardware, but I'm seriously losing faith in XB to deliver the quality I grew up with 😕.
Whiffing Infinite so hard is so frustrating to me. Halo is literally the only reason I purchased the XBO and XBSX instead of a PS or Nintendo console
I think Xbox hardware is the best out of the bunch, I really struggle to see the point of me keeping PS, but then I remember I have a solid PC that can play all xbox "exclusives" since they dont just publish to Xbox anymore.
No brand is delivering quality anymore. Sony is milking the same franchises over and over. Microsoft is dropping the ball year after year and Nintendo is just Nintendo. Pc indie gaming is where it's at rn. Battlebit is amazing so are a bunch of other small games like project zomboid
@@unclehowdy409 i swear Nintendo has coin in their office that they flip that decides weather they make another 9/10 single player masterpiece or another 3.5/10 unfinsihed game i swear
@@GTNyt Most of their first party games are pretty solid and they give fans what they want. I cant even tell what games your talking about.
Same. I’m hoping Starfield can bring some redemption
I think the problem is the lack of exclusive IPs that they have, Sony and Nintendo have awesome exclusives. (Some of Sony's IPs are coming to Steam, which is awesome)
A lot of Microsoft’s big studios also don’t have the best reputation. Like 343 and Bethesda for example don’t have a good track record. PlayStation and Nentindo have quality IP’s because their studios are good and actually put care into their games. I know Sony and Nentindo are scummy, but the studios they own are solid.
The new leak shows what we all feared. Killing discs and playing catch-up. I'm done with Xbox.
I quite literally (and also a couple friends) also bought an XB1 console solely for MCC. Such a shame!
Master chief collection flopping in the way it did was my own personal breaking point with Xbox. I sold my Xbox one and bought a ps4 the next year after halo 5 also failed to meet my expectations. I was so excited for the console and brand after their e3 2014 show and most of those titles I wanted were either cancelled or grossly underperformed. It wasn’t don mattrick, or Kinect, or even the competition that caused the fall from grace, it was an inability to deliver what fans want. Quality games.
I didn't by an XB1 untill the Halo 5 limited console came out. I didn't even buy a 360 when it came out, luckily my little brother snagged a elite 360 before halo 3 came out. I didn't by my second Xbox (halo 4 limited console 2012)untill about 11 years after I bought my og xbox in 2001.
Bill too busy lowering population growth than worrying about making Xbox Great Again
Yep he has that formula spot on
So one, no. And two Bill Gates has not been in charge of Microsoft for at least over two decades now. You probably still think Steve Jobs runs Apple.
Good video, bro.
with hindsight, I think it's clear that Microsoft would have folded xbox years ago if it wasn't for that little fps that a small developer made back in 2001.
Such copium. Activision is ours, Pony Boy! 😏
@@Jolis_Parsec If you ever tried to exercise your mental capabilities, you may, someday, offer something intelligent to a conversation.
@@mickael486 Nah, I’m happy that we also got FF14. Thanks Phil! 😂
@@Jolis_Parsec
why does one choose Xbox over Playstation or Nintendo?
I bought an xbox one s only because it was a 4k player and $189 back in 2019 and I wanted to play Killer Instinct. Everything else is pretty much elsewhere.
They killed Halo after they showed Bungie the door. That's when it was easy to choose which console to buy on day one.
@@mickael486 Why does one continue to be a pompous Pony in spite of Jimbo’s continued lies and deception? It would seem you’re in denial much like DreamcuckGuy and The Amazing Mucus. 😂
As a sworn xbox loyalist from my teen years I think you hit alot of good points here. I was one of the people who fell out in the xbone gen. I think one thing you failed to mention was WHY they were so gung-ho about the Kinect, it sold VERY well and the shareholders assumed this is what people wanted more of and they MISSED. Also how xbox initially soured consumers with the ALWAYS ONLINE and no TRADING concepts. (At the time no one was ready for, but funny how now in order to get ya gamepass you are essentially renting and need that online connection)
Xbox has lost its way, something die hard fans can't admit. The xbox console is dead, now its a Microsoft service akin to spotify. Which is convenient, but the fact you never really own anything just doesn't sit well with me personally. We'll see how this ecosystem of gaming they are going for is really the benefit of people who enjoy games or just a facade for market control
Facts. I’m a diehard Xbox fan but these recent generations let me down big time. My series x just sits in my living room gathering dust. To say I’m extremely disappointed is an understatement.
They own Bethesda and Blizzard, how tf are they dead?
All the next IPs from Bethesda will be exclusive to xbox, and more on the way with CoD and the like.
The next couple of years are gonna be pretty big for xbox.
This isn't only a xbox problem. I have owned every playstation except for ps5. I see little to no reason to buy one. We have a software problem in the industry atm.
@@murph6802”The next couple of years are gonna be pretty big for Xbox” I feel like has been the anthem since the Kinect shift lol
I wont be surprised when Microsoft discontinues Xbox all together and go cloud based /w gamepass. I like Xbox games, but it seems the only thing they put out that I like is Age of Empires 4 and the definitive editions. + now that they've bought Activation Blizzard hopefully they can breathe life into blizzards dead games. I've never played playstation games, but right now they've been putting out games I've been interested in buying off steam.
Xbox has been trash for like 13 years. It wasn't just the Xbone that killed it. The last few years of the 360 sucked.
The big money keeps going into sequels and because they are sequels there’s a limited new experience involved.
The golden age for me was the Xbox 360 years 2007 to 2012.
In my opinion Xbox buying studios seems to ruin them. Because when these studios are owned by a giant company like Xbox they don’t even have to try because “daddy microsoft will pay our bills we don’t have to try as long as something gets made”
Disagree PlayStation exclusives just get boring Xbox has a better library overall I rather have a selection of games instead of a couple exclusives that will get boring after a month 🤣
@@canyoudrift to each their own
@@canyoudriftXbox doesn’t have a boring library? How about Pentiment, Starfield, Gears 5, and Halo Infinite that are total snoozefests?
@@canyoudrift Massive cope
Xbox series X and S literally made things worse for Microsoft.
The S was just supposed to the disc-less version of the X but they literally downgraded the specs instead.
They're not making interesting exclusives anymore (since Xbox one) and think buying big game studios will change the trend.
Their software specs overall usually don't handle big games as expected.
The Series X has better specs than the PS5 in all regards. PS5 does not exceed anywhere.
@@bearpoop720 It's practically below the PS5 and it's been proven since 2020 when comparing games released for both platforms.
@@jonightwing901Tell me one thing the PS5 does better. Release shitty cinematic games? The specs are inferior to the Series X in all regards, and they make it hell to replace your worn out controller battery
I was a ps1/ps2 kid growing up and eventually playing online games on the ps2 shortly after it came out, to leaving ps3 behind for 360 with friends, but just recently went back to ps5 due to just better games (imo), they are both great consoles but the games just aint there any more
Yeah pretty much same... ps1 was awesome and PS2 was insane at that time. It was like a cultural phenomenon. But I skipped ps3 n got 360. 2 360s actually for both tvs. N it was awesome... then they lost they're way. I like Phil but if this gen doesn't turn it around big time he's gotta go imo.
Similar situation, but Xbox series X looks tempting. For those playing shooter games, Forza Horizon series, or want to save more money it has it's market.
Still picked PS5 for the single player story games. Spiderman, GOW, and many others.
I’m happy with grounded sea of thieves starfield. Just those 3 games
@@akin242002PlayStation + with those 20 games seems so good especially if gamepass core has 25 games every half a year it changes.. and also ps5 only upside to Xbox series x is literally just exclusives then again Xbox also has exclusives
Younger, less experienced people move up the corporate ladder and gut everything magical and meaningful. Same thing happened with the music industry.
For the record, Ryse: Son of Rome fucking rules
Im a PlayStation guy and ive always thought Halo was incredibly overrated (though i loved 4) and associated Xbox with Bro-shooters with protagonists the size of refrigerators... and thats it. But you cannot deny what MS brought to the table with the Original Xbox (and the 360) and Xbox live. I really hope they fully get back on their feet.
halo really hasn't aged well. i tried to get into it recently and couldn't even get through the second game. they just suck.
Have you every played halo
Halo is fine but it's nothing special. Anyone who still thinks it is special just thinks that due to nostalgia from their childhood.
You enjoying the GoW Movies huh.
@@gregorymirabella1423Idk about that. I didn’t grow up with the games so I have no nostalgia for them and I played the first two a couple years ago and really enjoyed them. I also played some reach with a few friends and enjoyed that too. Couldn’t get into 3 as much though
What about the Xbox PC app. If Microsoft was at all taking this seriously, they'd make that damn thing work. The new update managed to lose my games folder and constantly wants the Gaming Services app to install. Its an unusable mess and nobody seems to know how to fix it or seems to care. Loads of people are having this problem and its still yet to be fixed. Its been like this for two months now.
Another layer of this is how Microsoft screwed up Minecraft so bad. Such a monumental game is now fading out of the public eye because they're too focused on marketplace coins than finding some way to revamp multi-player.
No, they made the game better
@@Jd-kw9yzno tf they didn't 😂
@@Jd-kw9yzbeen playing Minecraft since the start, they fucking demolished Minecraft pvp when they started. It gets more monetized every year too, and the extra content often feels more disjointed nowadays. The account migrations, the store, the messing with online chat, they really fucked the game up. It's not unplayable, but Minecraft players deserve better.
I might sound like a broken record but back then on Xbox 360 was such a charm for its era. So many great games came out and the menu start up was a memorable experience never left you at all. Even the layout was the best.. now on Xbox one it’s just doesn’t have the type of feeling it once had and moving on to Xbox series X/s it’s like the same thing basically expect w a few new animations/sounds.. even the games are so lacking to me with being unbroken release day. The only few games I enjoy was forza horizon and halo mmc but most of the time I mostly on gamepass playing older game titles from 360 or just try new games out mostly indie games. I just wish Microsoft had that feeling again.
I really enjoy Railway Empires 2. It's very chill & laidback.
Exactly how I feel an I play old games for the memories since new ones aren’t fun
it all happaned with the xbox one. they went from focusing on video games to making a vcr box. a streaming box for movies and tv and videos. and not making good exclusives anymore. they just give up. they need to stick with ips and take community feedback
7:12 Burger King's "Sneak King" was number 3? Man, I did not expect that lol
This video made me realize I played a good amount of shovelware lol avatar legends being one of them my friend and I spent hours making custom stories in that game. 360 indie was a game changer because some gems were in there
Great vid! Hopefully the Xbox showcase in A few days is one long time fans can be excited about for the weeks to come.
>From a leader in gaming to just peddling a subscription service
They were never the leader of gaming and the subscriptions service were a thing since the first Xbox.
Over here playing starfield. Must suck to not be able to play it
NO MANS SKY EXIST
Oh yes. The UA-cam commentator with a professional editing computer can't play starfield.
Lol i dont care about starfield, looks boring and soul-less
This comment aged poorly
I was a Microsoft fan boy til the red ring of death on my 360 switched to Sony and I haven't looked back since..except to pick up a Nintendo Switch.
It keeps getting worse even as someone who really doesn’t like using Xbox this is just sad
(For context Xbox closed several studios including the one that made hi-fi rush)
I went from xbox back to PS once they started putting ads on the 360 home screen. They sold out their customers. They deserve to fail
First parties may be struggling (Save for Minecraft and Forza) but there are a lot of indies and third parties that are really good!
For sure
Xbox just keeps failing. 😅
Fantastic video! Wonder what you'd have in store for the latest news/rumours regarding Xbox.
I like that you included the trailers from the og Xbox live. I remember them from the “game demos” section in the original halo
Microsoft focusing on chasing microtransactions and live services and trying to beat out CoD for the holiday rush is what happened to Xbox. Microsoft has forgotten how to make finished, enjoyable games.
I'm just happy I have Persona now
Does the Xbox one still always require internet connection all the time?
I switched from Playstation to Xbox this generation. Xbox has more backwards compatibility options than playstation, and despite playstation bringing their A game to their current gen stuff more consistently, being able to revisit older gen games on current hardware is a huge selling point to me.
Really hope Starfield succeeds and break this trend. My coworker is a huge Xbox fan and I think this will take him out of gaming for good if it ends up flopping.
cant he simply switch to a better machine or does he also buy everything else american?
Working next to a huge fan must be stressful.
What a baby. Just tell him to build a PC.
I hope your friend likes Falout 76 because it's going to be like that but in space.
@@IbanezShreds67when does graphics make a game ? Y’all just mad it’s not coming to ps2
Really well written video that articulates a lot of what's wrong in the current era.
I think it's great that Xbox has decided to make games more available to more people across more platforms and devices, but it's come at the cost of the Xbox brand and really taking first party seriously to truly be competitive. It's hard not to feel a sense of complacency (they do have more money than god so it's not necessarily life or death for MS.) There's a certain wisdom to Xbox deciding to pivot to focus on their strength, which has historically been services, rather than butt heads with PlayStation who is so far ahead that at this point, it's practically moot anyway. But again, it feels like they've left their core constituency behind in pursuit of growing Game Pass subs. Game Pass is a great service, but there's a problem when its finest offerings are often third-party games already available elsewhere.
They've opened the floodgates of industry consolidation with all their acquisitions, which I think is only going to hurt gaming in the long run, but we haven't even seen this bear much fruit for Xbox anyway. It's a really soulless and cynical way of addressing their poor games portfolio, when they have the resources to open brand new studios with new talent who could create new things to rival or surpass experiences like Halo and define our times now.
It's a real bummer and it's hard not to feel like I am constantly missing out on games that skip the platform, third party or otherwise. I stuck with Xbox because I built my digital library in its ecosystem and I've invested so much over well over a decade at this point. But I suspect I'd be much happier on other platforms.
Hey but always there's a chance to get a decent PC or go to the PS5 side and enjoy some exclusives there that you never played, for me , my old PC and PS5 let me enjoy the short time I have left to dedicate to gaming and I hope Microsoft push harder and make more triple A games so it's gets competitive with Sony, they need competition so us consumers get the best out of both
@@johnf.r6658What do you mean by short time you have left. Are you doing okay? If not then prayers to you.
@@David_Nelson35 I'm fine for now, I meant I don't have much time to play games ! Because I have to do other stuff! I'm old not obsolete
Surpass Halo?
HERESY!
Oh Wait It's Not 2008 Anymore Modern Halo Is Barely Alive So It's Not Even That Hard
@@johnf.r6658Don't F*cking Try And Convert Us To PS I Was A PS Guy And Moving To Xbox Was The Best Choice I Ever Made At The Time...
Well Halo Was A New Thing Back In The Day But I Don't Regret My Choice Even If The Company Is Going Trough Trubling Times
Here in asia back in the mid 2000s Xbox sold over 5k units only 😬
Halo 2 was amazing!! I also loved how you could store music and listen as you play. Ahhh the good ol days
Xbox itself killed xbox
I’m fine with Xbox but Wii sports is the best game of that era
The industry has changed over the years ,these days it seems like there's no multiplayer game that doesn't have battle pass and mtx.I blame mostly EA but players are in the same boat.
The golden days of xbox and xbox360 will be forever remembered.
We want games,not a subscription to play them
The only thing that stopping me from getting both a playstation five and a Xbox Series S or X Is the stupid subscription service?
I don't want to pay $300 a year for Xbox live and PlayStation plus. That's why I chose PlayStation 5 only.
good choice
You might have missed a bit of controversy around the xbox one. Back when i was on the 360 the xbox one was revealed not able to play used games for a "performance or graphics boost" but most of my friends on the system knew what they were trying to do. Stop the resale of used games. This intern made me switch to pc instead since the first sale doctrine is like a thing that everything should be a part of. Come to think of it i remember Sony taking a jab at Microsoft in a PS4 skit. Even though they never implemented the DRM they never recovered publicly from that.
I had just of good of experience with ps online as when I was playing with someone else that has Xbox. Didn’t see any benefit to online on Xbox. Know several people that got rid of their Xbox and got a ps3 also.
15:23 My channel was built off of Happy Wars and seeing it referenced here is just something else. Like wow. I was taken back a bit.
Yeah i lost faith in xbox its nothing speical or good about it im switching to playstation its just better.
Welcome to the Playstation family 😎 my boyfriend just switched as well and he doesn't regret it
honestly gaming in general has lost its way its not just xbox
Whats the background music around 20:30
yo anyone know the music that starts at 5:45?
Ill never get rid of my og Xbox or 360, those game me some of my favorite gaming memories ever.
The weird thing is that they technically don't need to do Xbox stuff in order to make money. The also have a good monopoly on the PC market... because they started as a Pc maker... I think if things keep getting worse for Xbox... they might have no choice but to stick with Pc again...
I miss the 360 days, I grew up having the original Xbox and lived through XBL with the 360. Now Im on PC and I replay all my 360 games at prettier graphics and higher frames. I miss how games used to be good and fun
This happens when a "lion" has too much food to eat and in turn, he doesn't try as hard anymore.
Halo and modern warfare carried them.
The first and only time an exclusive sold me a system was KOTOR in 2003. That game was just that dang good. OG XBOX ended up being my favorite console of that generation.
I miss the Project Gotham Racing franchise
Xbox was always trash, we can thank it for paid online in every console.
@@Jnd23 i dont seem to recall that the problem was tied to being free, in fact that didnt seem to happen in nintendo wii u or pc.
@@Jnd23 it had smash and mario kart at least, but the point was it was a security issue thats hardly money related, were not talking about bad service or latency or downtime, its more a config mistake.
As a capitalist i recommend that Xbox has to evolve to survive or we might see SEGA 2.0 destiny. Here are 9 things that would really help:
1) Future Xbox exclusives have to remain exclusive on Xbox for a bare minimum of 1 year before porting it to PC. This way it gives the devs. time to patch up & fix bugs before porting decent ports for PC instead of wasting time on all ends to fix their mess.
2) Acquire more Japanese studios so that Asian market gets on board with Xbox ( platinum games, Grasshopper Manufacture / SUDA51, SNK, SEGA )
3) Open up developer studios, that their main job would be to remake or remaster or reboot classic Xbox IP's such as: Blinx, Brute Force, Bloodwake, Azurik, Crimson Skies, Mechassault etc.
4) Strike a deal with Nintendo to remake classic Rare ltd. original IP's from SNES & Nintendo 64 era. Split the costs of development & profits 50/50, and have them released on future Xbox & Nintendo consoles simultaneously
5) Offer Nintendo, OG Xbox for their virtual console program on their e-shop and split the costs & profits 50/50
6) Hire competent quality control, based on skills and not on diversity & equity
7) Microsoft besides their operating system, need to open up to another market. Either as electronics manufacturer like SONY or as entertainment business like Apple. Whatever they would choose make it in sync with Xbox and Windows OS & sell it as "better experience, together with our other products"
8) Get Bill Gates out of World Health Organization, United Nations & Economic Forum and get that man back to focus on Microsoft, and bring him back as THE figurehead of Microsoft & Xbox where he jumps over chairs and hangs around with The Rock
9) Host regular events across the globe for more exposure: e-sports, charity, electronic innovations expos etc.
"capitalist" lol
Bro, console market is too small for Microsoft. That’s why with all their money, they’re doing a half ass job. They’re next business strategy is to become the Netflix of gaming which is another stupid strategy.
But they decided to give up on the hardware entirely and instead make money through their games, in the gaming market. Sacrificing hundreds of billions of dollars but effectively locking down almost the entire gaming industry afterwards.
We have a product for those without an internet connection. It's called the Xbox 360. That one line sealed their fate.
damn that intro hit and made me feel old
Very nice video, I hope Xbox pulls it together at the end, but I’m loosing hope after that Phil Spencer Interview….
I recently tried nuts and bolts for the first time. I thought it was awful. A real shame as I loved kazooie and tooie
This is hilarious ive been playing on gamepass ultimate for a year now and i dont see myself stopping ever.
That's all you can afford
When was xbox a leader in consoles? Even ps3 outsold xbox 360. Xbox always finished last in console sales for every generation except the gamecube
To me , the problem is the focus with "late teen games" I need simple beautiful fun to play in family. Not headache, a week of getting used to and 200h playthrough openworld, filled with crap because they were rushed to finished the game.. so I will stick with nintendo.
Honestly out of all the things I’d like most number 1 obviously is more/great exclusive games and i understand most people have mostly gone digital but it would be great if you could just use the disc once to install and then put it away and only need it again if you needed to reinstall, I’m sure it would have been very easy for Xbox to implement that.
Grew up playing xbox, switched to playstation when the playstation 4 came out only because i had more friends playing it but i never changed back. I'm tempted for the first time to buy an xbox now with starfield and the new fable.
Yeah but u can get spiderman 2, ghost of tsushima 2, maybe another god of war in a few years, wolverine and so many other good first parties. It depends and you should wait for the reviews. Xboxs hardware is good but games are shit.
@@yourAntiS0C1ALwhy i would buy ps5 to play Spiderman? Lmao
@@natsox8713 cause it's better then any xbox game in the last ten year
Ain't no way people buy a certain console just for a video game, seems like a waste of money.
@@idkjb777 yes people do get over it
I remember being a PlayStation fan back on the 7th gen most people I knew in middle school were Xbox fans and the heat we got was brutal. Xbox had better online features, better games and exclusive deals. Halo 3 was the reason I almost decided to get an Xbox when it first came out, but at end I stood with PlayStation which I’m still glad
+ the ps3 was $600. I never had a xbox or playstation. I mainly stuck with Nintendo consoles & handhelds. Right now I have Xbox One X, but it came free with my 4k tv when I bought it. I hardly use my xbox other than watching 4k movies. I was considering buying a playstation 4 or 5, but now that they're putting their exclusives on pc I have little incentive to buy one now. I remember kids in class arguing all day everyday about which was better ps3 or xbox 360 it was really annoying back then. + the constant shit talk about who would beat who's ass in a 1v1 on cod, halo, or fighting game.
Man xbox been catching mad Ws since this video came out
Hope the trend continues. We'll give OP credit for the reverse jinx.
can't argue with that one lol
Definitely a complete lack of games now.
Halo, Munch's Odyssey, Fable and JSRF were my jam back in the day.
I'm old...
I used to want to skip school and work to place the newest game to try and and get ahead of my friends and now I could care less and would rather wait 6 months after the new game launches just for them to hopefully have most of the bugs fixed.
People do not want to admit but Gamepass is a big problem as to why the Xbox output has been so underwhelming. The focus of Xbox is to sell subscriptions, not good games, an entirely different business model than Sony and Nintendo. Sure they might occasionally get a great game but it's not something you should have high hopes for. Knowing Bethesda and after all the delays, Starfield is going down the same road as Cyberpunk 2077. Generate hype, lie and then sell the garbage product... rinse and repeat.
As a “Sony Pony”, this is…. Startling for me too. Sony is going into a HUGE quality dip when they dominate their corner of the market.
PLAYSTATION sucked to begin with their console exclusives sound like absolute crap I’ve barely heard any real hubbub surrounding them they just pay 3rd parties to make games for them.
@@Psx806 God of war ragnarok performed excellently last game awards, but that's not the point I'm trying to make. I'm genuinely concerned that if microsoft shrinks away from Sony's challenges, Sony will think they have won and can do whatever they want. their rivalry was healthy for the competition of the market.
with Xbox announcing they "Lost the console war...." I'm a tad confused how they plan to go from here.
@@Paprika_Real4 well either way you look at it we need new contenders in the field ps Xbox and Nintendo all their crap is getting old. It’s lost it’s luster.
@@Psx806 Indeed. though.... nintendo does seem to still have a few ideas up its sleeve.
@@Psx806Bro what 😂
