Videogamedunky: The fall of XBOX

Microsoft fucked over Dunky before on some ad thing and he's always had a gripe with them.
Not that this should be used to discount his points, i haven't even watched the video
I mean - a persistent, vocal grudge based on personal beef sounds like a pretty reasonable basis to discredit his criticism of their first party offerings.
Also, spicy take. The ability to get a large, rotating selection of excellent, GOTY-caliber games (both exclusive and third party) for $10/mo is as valuable as really good exclusives when it comes to recommending a particular console (in my personal opinion).

Yeah pretty much and I think his take on Halo infinite is probably wrong.
You mean in specs? yes for sure... In games? not even close and the topic is about games, not specs.
Cos they all finally realised that MS ain't interested in playing console warz anymore.
Well you cant disagree with Microsoft having on XBone a suboptimal games output this gen when even Phil Spencer agrees.
If Knack is a human he would have filed a lawsuit considering how much harassment he has endured.
As a Xbox One X owner, I say:
Show me the lie.
Show me the lie.
You can buy the loot box-infested, MTX-ridden AAA multiplatform titles on other consoles, that's what makes them multiplatform titles. So why did having only a Xbox One console ever make sense? The X is significantly more powerful, but rarely gets utilized to its full potential.
In specs and availability of games through gamepass
This narrative is beyond tired and fairly disingenuous. The Xbox has about 95% the same games the PS4 does.
Hard to disagree.
I only just got an Xbox One X but if it wasn't for Gears 5 & Forza Horizon 4 the console would be a complete disappointment to me library wise.
An entire gen has gone by and the output never really got there.
Still hopeful for the future though and I am so amazed by the X on a technical level that I'm much more likely to buy Xbox next gen than I ever was.

Jim Sterling put one out yesterday I think. Plus there was a slew of "Gears 5 failed" stuff on YouTube.
Exclusive games are all that's matters didn't you hear? Third party games don't count as real games. Therefore, Xbox has no games.
Am I console warring correctly? Who do I contact for my prize?
It's quite amazing that after all these years Playground Game still don't get respect they deserve.
I think his case is about single player in these games mostly, but hardly talks about multiplayer. Halo 5 multiplayer in my opinion one of the series best, gears 5 multiplayer is also phenomenal. Remember guys single player games are 99% of the package everything else is the 1%

They killed that to focus primarily on games, in order to engender good will from the "core gamers."
I do sometimes scratch my head and think "what if" when it comes to how Microsoft could have better managed their IPs. Fable could and should have been their more mature take on Zelda. They helped develop the original Mass Effect and if they could have kept the series exclusive, it would have been huge. Obviously Nuts and Bolts flopped, but they threw the baby out with the bath water rather than try and examine what went wrong, and Conker would have been a great anti-Mario to make tounge in cheek subversive platforners of their own. I get mature action games are historically their bread and butter, but there's just so much unrealized potential I can see in hindsight from my armchair critic perspective.
Dunkey probably should have put out this video before Gears 5 lol
The "Gears 5 failed" videos are hilarious
Don't like this video, Jim Sterlings was better, this was more of a 'list wars' video masquerading as something else.
Well I mean, as a piece of hardware it's easily the best in pretty much every way.
It's stikl there. People on this site took it way more seriously than it was supposed to be. It's just another cheaper option not the end of all physical media
Shame the Xbox hardware and services are seemingly at their best, because I agree with Dunkey. Exclusives drive the identity and perception of these systems, and Xbox is absolutely struggling, and I don't think it's really their fault (maybe it's Don Mattricks, but I digress) so much as it is them playing a really unlucky hand. I'd love to see them have more titles that set the industry on fire, but I'm not confident.

They are the only Xbox studio that consistency fucking brings it. Can't wait for their new IP.
These literal console war videos do not make sense anymore in today's market - Microsoft is very clearly branching out and pursuing a different strategy than Sony or even Nintendo. And as a result we find ourselves in this unique scenario where every console maker is providing something different to the market and yes, that is a good thing.
Him comparing "exclusives" just shows how dumb and nonsensical the argument has gotten - things have changed people.

Yeah he doesn't do poorly timed videos.
Infact his previous video was about Gears 5.
