They still are in pretty much every category except for their first-party games output though?

I mean, if you can't even understand that the new GoW and Zelda got people excited because they were radical departures from the old formula, I don't really know what to tell you. Compare those to any Halo, Gears or Forza sequel released in the last decade. There's a reason people are sick of those, and it's not simply because the games are called Halo, Gears and Forza.
Last year's conference was literally only Ori 2 in terms of new first party announcements. Everything else was either a timed exclusive, a multiplat or an update to an old announcement. Let that sink in for a moment. Any Xbox fan who is minimally capable of criticizing their favorite company will understand that the flak MS has gotten in their past 4 shows has been completely justified. Sony's conference also sucked last year, it was the worst of the big 3 (before people start to call me a Sony fanboy again).
Established franchises isn't the problem. Quality, diverse exclusives in the portfolio is what matters. It's not anybody's fault that Microsoft has failed to cultivate a good number of established IPs over the years, unlike Nintendo and Sony who have a pretty wide selection to go back to. And when they do go back they have the talent, the creative freedom and the awareness to try something new instead regurgitating the same old shit.

Lol. This post is so off topic but I get where you're coming from bro. They'll gradually get back there.
Exactly. I read that many of his colleagues were actually very happy when he left.
Well thank God this isn't the Xbox one subreddit. Not that it doesn't get toxic in here sometimes though also many users posting in there are from the ps4 and general gaming subreddits.
Well the Xbox is pretty boned when it comes to exclusives. Which is the point, they want more exclusives. It's mostly about BC these days.
I actually don't think Halo has gotten stale. The shooting and the game play are still fun, what needs to be shaken up is the story and campaign. Gears could use a bit of a game play departure though. I know that the pioneered (or popularized) the use of cover but maybe they should move to a contextualized cover system? Fans of the multiplayer would probably be pissed though.
The post got 3000+ upvotes. The (strange) first comment not even a third of that. I don't think that generalization is doing anyone a favor.
This thread is about talking about MS studios and their future, as in, exclusives and upcoming games from them.
Talking about dissapointed Xbox customers who wants more exclusives fits in imo.
This thread isn't for dissapointed customers to whine and complain though. Is it?
Nah, I think it is. Everything MS/XBOX fits here as long as it stays respectful between members.
This thread is about pondering potential reboots of Microsoft franchises in the vein of God of War. My suggestion - Kinectimals: Now with Beards!
Yes this thread is about discussing MS first party devs and their projects alright and it's clearly different from a thread made to discuss MS failures and mistakes this gen. You can always make a thread about that and give it a fitting title cos I've noticed many coming into this thread to derail it with such comments but I don't think it's the appropriate thread for that. .
Not really. If you for example wanna complain about MCC you wouldn't go into the halo 5 thread and do it. The thing about complaining is that you aren't actually looking for answers. You want to vent. So in the end it's pointless to discussion as it doesn't move anything forward. A complaint is t most one post and that's it. "The Xbox is only BC". Thanks for the contribution. What's next

Isn't the stuff this Thurrot article talking about pretty much already known? I'd imagine everyone already knew they were making another Xbox.
Do it.
Just because someone is gonna shit the thread it does not mean we will stop making them.
A mod can be contacted, problem solved. :)
But it isn't right. I've noticed many Xbox threads end up closed cos some users turn it into crap and derail the threads. Instead of the mods closing the threads why not make examples of some these users by giving them a 7 day ban. It's not right that many xbox threads are closed for no good reason. Mods shouldn't close such xbox threads because certain users are incapable of having civil, respectful and rational discussions. Deal with the users derailing the threads instead.
Of course he was...we've been through this type of thread before. It's not anything people outside of this thread would care to give an actual thought about.
Yeah, I stay out of those threads. It's not even worth posting in them.
It's no surprise really though. I like how the talks went to lack of exclusives like the future state can only be 1 or the other.
Hm...guess who started to talk about PS4 games in this thread when first GOW reviews appeared? I'm sure PS4 fans did it, right? It's so easy to blame them. N4G mentality, christo.
I guess I'm the only one that likes all the cloud stuff :-\
Love watching dynamic changes to game worlds so that line really makes me happy that cloud computation is still being worked on.

you're the better example of what he mentioned though. never posted here except when someone slightly mention something sony related, then you just drop by to post "wow you guys are obsessed lmao" and disappear again
I like it as well...but it's not something that people here care about...unfortunately.
