Kinda gimped. No weather, fewer championships, no Drivitar AI, no Forza Rewards, no future support/DLC.

Forza Horizon 2 on 360 was a different developer with a different engine.

Drivatars are supposed to be much better in 2 and you get random drop-ins from people high on the world leaderboards.

The Wii U having HD games doesn't make it next-gen when both last-gen consoles had HD games :ssh:

e: The Wii U has fun, HD games. That doesn't mean it's not basically on par with a 360/PS3. If it were a next-gen console, it would have next-gen games on it. You know it's bad when Ubisoft and EA stop porting their games to your current console.

e2: It's also dumb people keep saying next-gen while the next-gen home consoles have been out for nearly a year

But the Xbox One is on par with a 360/PS3 and you call it next gen. I'm pretty sure next gen means next generation not "Mah graphix for call o madden". If it does mean graphix the only next gen console is the PC.

So what's it like having an Xbox One? Like really, how is it?

Only thing I don't like is the Kinnect and how awful doing things without it is, otherwise I've had a good experience. Also, if something has been wrong their support team has been a treat to deal with, they've been able to help me with any issue I've had. Liking my bone.

Hi guys, first time poster but long time fan of the Xbox One entertainment machine by Microsoft! I've had a recent incident where it gets out of its living room setup, enters the bedroom and just shits all over on my bed. Should I send it in since it's still under warranty or is this an intended feature?? Tia. :D

Why does every xbox infographic (or what ever the gently caress they are called) include Titalfall? The game is about as generic and awful as you can get, its not and never was a system seller.

Nah other than Monday nigh combat or whatever it was called fps moba is a small genre. Titanfall ruled except all of their dlc was not more perks and upgrades and instead maps therby nearly instantly killing the game.

Nah Titanfall populations were plummeting before that. Titanfall was a pretty great 30 dollar title and a terrible 60 dollar one.

Oh they were definitely declining but that was the end. If your not CoD or what have you releasing map packs is a sure fire way to kill your game faster.

It also had hilarious bug on PC where the autolockon gun was programmed explicitly with console in mind so what was balanced and interesting choice on console could with a decent rig and changes in the options become a diabolical murder machine.

Halo 2 isnt quite 900p.

1328x1080=1434240
1600x900= 1440000

widescreen (16x9) aspect ratio is 1.78
fullscreen (4x3) aspect ratio is 1.33
halo 2 screen (166x135) aspect ratio is 1.23

expect halo 2's campaign to either be very jagged, or to have a soap opera filter.

The game was poo poo and it didn't retain players for any long period of time. Its not anything other than the game being poo poo. If it "ruled" then there would be a ton of people playing it still, which at this point I see more people playing old call of duty titles than Titanfall.

Titanfall was fun for a few months when there was a huge game drought for the One. Charging for DLC was stupid though and split the player base.

Is there somewhere where you can see the number of people still playing Titanfall, like what Battlefield does? I see some of my friends playing it still.

I try every so often but don't get a full game. I still get full games on Ghosts, and everybody seems down on that game.

I don't know of a place for Titanfall-specific numbers. Someone scraped the battlefield 4 figures since the start of the year though:

I don't think it was the DLC that did it, if people liked the game they would have wanted more about bought the DLC. It really just fell short, it was trying very hard to be a "next gen" shooter but in the end it felt last gen, looked last gen, and had less staying and selling power than last gen titles.

It couldn't keep an audience and its not like it didn't try - the game was bundled in a pretty big selling (for the xbox one) bundle.

I definitely got my money's worth out of Titanfall, unlike Destiny. That's the only game I've regretted buying since Dragon Age 2.
