free




If Sony had ever figured out backwards compatibility this wouldn't be an issue. You realize the games for the Xbone are a crap horror game and one that went free-to-play it was so bad.

Yes, meanwhile at Sony they are just about to release the heavy favorite, outside of TLoU2 (another exclusive), for 2017 GOTY.

Layers of Fear is HORRIBLE

Some decent jump scares, but no atmosphere. One of the endgame puzzles has you trying to find little coins that you can't even see and it was fricking horrible

I've never heard of Heavy Weapon but out of the other three Borderlands 2 is the only good game. Microsoft is getting killed by Sony in sales so you would assume that they would give better "free" monthly games but this month isn't one of those months.

I own both systems, ftr.

That said, last I heard is that Xbone has been winning since October. . .but Sony won the year as a whole.

And none of that is determined by whatever free games are offered. People subscribe to PSN and/or XBL for reasons OTHER than that. They aren't basing what system they buy on what free games are offered every month.

all these games suck and aren't worth the disk space they'd require.

PS4 is completely obliterating Xbone in exclusives

Is not a hero worth the download?

Worth adding to your library. After that it's up to you.


I found youtube to be helpful.

Winning what? Because by almost any account you would be wrong.

Sales
Exclusives
Whatever.

It's getting to PS2 levels.

Does including DLC for a free game really count as a free game?

Nah, PS4 sold more than the X1 in the US in November and December (X1 did win some months in 2nd half of 2016 though). If consider the world, there hasn't been a single month where the X1 has outsold PS4.

I dropped PSN specifically because they don't have any good free games. I'll pick it up again when I get RDR2.

Well that settles it.

I am pretty sure he meant people who actually play their ps4.

I did too.

Let it lapse a couple months back.

May activate it when rdr2 comes out. My Xbone with the Kinect is the centerpiece of my media center. . .so all games that are for both, generally are bought on xbox.

Nothing against PS4, it is a fine system. It's just that the Xbox fills a bigger role, and therefore gets more attention.

Most of Sony's exclusives seem to be niche gaming, in which I am not a fan (Bloodborne, JRPG's, and platformers). I seem to only play my PS4 for the same reason I played the PS3, when The Show, Last of Us, and when the new Killzone has populated servers (for 3 days after release).

I used to fricking love JRPG's which made me a big PS fan. But after we've had the Mass Effects, the Skyrims, the Fallouts, the Witchers, and the Dragon Ages. . .JRPGs just feel like kiddie games.

I feel bad for Xbone only owners, that system has absolutely zero games. If it wasn't for the 4K BR player mine would never turn on. It is baffling to me how Microsoft can't get any decent exclusives at all.

I was actually somewhat excited to get Halo 5 and MCC in the S bundle...then I quickly realized that dead franchise is total shite now too.

They tried really hard to lose their arse this generation and they succeeded with glowing colors.

Yeah Xbox has had its arse handed to it the last couple of months. Only the biggest of fanboys wouldn't agree. They still have something up there sleeve I think but they better show some games, otherwise why buy a Scorpio.
