Jim Sterling shares his issues with the Xbox One (The Jimquisition)
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
So 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017 is back basically.
Might be a bit pointless with Microsoft making effort to provide a more diverse lineup with their recent acquisitions?
Did he at least mentioned that?
If you're a regular listener to the Podquistion, Sterling's hatred of the Xbox is pretty much a standing joke.
So no, this isn't telling us anything new.
Blame people for getting angry over fucking video games
Yes, if we include Xbox Pass & PS Now. I feel we should include ALL game offering per systems
Admittedly I've barely used my Xbox One in the past few years, ever since they announced all the games are now coming to PC too. That said, I don't particularly perceive this as a bad thing, and I don't think Microsoft do to. Their stance towards the "platform" is just different from Sony since they've got more than just the Xbox, they've got Windows too. At heart Microsoft are still a software company, hardware tends to have lower profit margins anyway unless that's changed, so I fee like they're probably happy people invest in the Windows/Xbox platform regardless of whether its through the One or a PC.
Their exclusives are a bit lackluster I guess, but they do seem to be trying to work on it by acquiring/building new companies.
I dunno this comes off as a bit harsh at this point, maybe before E3 it was more relevant.

I reacted to the title and reported the post.
No interest in watching clickbait.
I encourage others to do so as well.
I'd be pretty upset at Microsoft to see a video saying "it's a bit shit" after giving him 2 pieces of expensive hardware. I'd not be giving him a third that's for sure.
If you don't own a 4k gaming PC the X is the most important system to have this gen for the big third party titles and the ability to play 4k older titles.
Other than that I just see this thread as a validation thread for people who already have rubbish opinions.

Even that is being addressed. Spencer has very categoriclaly been courting Japanese developers with the express intent to address that problem, and we can already begin to see the results.
All these people that disregard the Xbox because Microsoft Studios games are also published on PC.. do all of you have a beefy pc or something?
Didn't watch the video. Looks like clickbait.

If that were true xbox would be selling better than it is. The fact is it's software is it's biggest issue and will continue to be it's issue until sometime next gen.
Their are zero reasons to purchase an Xbox. So Jim's point stands.
If I want the best performing third party titles I'll get them on pc.
If I want the best performing first party exclusives I'll get them on pc.
If I want Sony's first party offerings I'll play on PS4.
If I want to play Nintendo's first party titles I'll purchase a switch.
Hes right you know.

A big pet peave of mine is when someone states their controversial opinion, and instead of simply arguing that it's a controversial opinion, instead, they say "Deep down inside you know you feel the same." Instead of actually just accepting that something is a controversial opinion and arguing its merits, they try to convince themselves by stating that you actually agree with me. It's a cop out.
This is a pretty good example of my pet peave.

He makes good points, criticizes them in some regards, praises other things like gamepass. Sadly, most folks are going to see that this is directed to their console of choice and respond immediately.
Xbox has come a long way honestly. In many ways its really the best console platform out there.
Feature rich robust UI with loads of features, they are constantly improving
Most stable online platform with many features
Most consumer friendly, cross buy, cross play, loads of consumer options for purchase Gamepass etc
Best hardware in a sleek package (X1X) X1S is nice as well
Even though the games are easily the worst of the big three, their is some reason to be optimistic for the future though that remains to be seen.
The part that matters most is games. On a 3rd party front they are fine. On a first party front they have issues. Not quite shite but only a small step above shite as it stands now for sure.
I truly believe MS may have the best of the bunch in the long run if they keep focused on games and they stay the course they have been on for a few years. Criticism is completely valid though. The first party output has been dreadful in quantity and even quality this gen and nothing has stuck very well with consumers.

He said imo. I think pc is the best gaming platform. You probably think something too.
Chill.
He's entitled to his opinion though. It's not like he is saying anything that doesn't get said on this forum regularly.

I agree with his point about Game Pass too, I love the idea, but it really needs more games/variety.
So you react and get offended by a title, without hearing his arguments. Okay then. It's nice to have people like you to have constructed conversation about fair criticism with you.
In all those cases Microsoft are still getting money, since you'll likely have to use Windows, lol.
You reported the thread?
On what basis? Do you report every Jimquisition thread? They are all clickbait.
Yes I know. But not enough for me still there are many Japanese games on my Switch, PS4 and PC and upcoming that will likely never make it to Xbox. Also First Party wise MS obv they don't have a single Japanese dev company. So far it just seems some big mainstream titles from Bandai Namco and Square makes it over etc mainly
Isn't it good that he doesn't simply compliment things he gets for free from corporations? I'd rather getting those from these gaming companies for the purposes of reviews/news not color someone's objectivity.
I agree with his XBOX UI commentary - it is an utter mess - and part of what turned me off the systemhowever, I also think Sony's could use improvements as well.
I guess people could get a warning for 'console wars' if they'd say 'Xbox is a bit shit' tbh.. :P
Buh Buh, dat UHD Bluray Drive support.
Nah, this is complete clickbait. We know it, and Jim knows it.
It's a slow week for him, but I mean we're talking about him again.
Does he have any Wrestling bookings coming up soon?
I feel like you could make that argument about any gaming press outlet, your IGNs, your Gamespots, etc.
Jim doesn't really consider himself a journalist, but Microsoft does to a degree so they sent him consoles. I don't really see the problem here.
I accept his points about Xbox exclusives and the OS. I preferred the 360 OS. Microsoft recently invested in new AAA studio so his video feels outdated least they are trying to change and in a few years, it could be a different story to right now. I don't see the problem with the X is plays the best out of all consoles on the market right now. If you want your console games to play the best the X is that console.
Having watched the video, I'm a bit confused how he completely failed to mention Forza Horizon? Pretty notable omission.
And he also doesn't care for Ori, which makes me worry for his sanity.

this isn't a negative this is a positive and you should be listing it as one. This type anti consumer of logic is why Nintendo and Sony will continue forcing you to buy closed hardware to play first party games.
I don't think he even mentions that. Perhaps you should watch the video. Some of you are clearly too invested in this stuff if you can't even consume the content of the topic. It's not all bad and i don't agree with all his points, but he does bring up some good ones.
No one needed an update on whether or not you watched it of all things.
Some (many?) people just want the best performing titles in a console environment. Like me during the past 20 years when a capable gaming PC was out of the question.
Still no reason to buy an Xbox. They can have my windows store money, I have no issue with that.
