+ | The '''Xbox One''' is the <s>watercooler</s> successor to the [[Xbox 360]]. |
+ | |||
+ | The third console from Microsoft had a rough launch. When shown off to the world for the first time, the presentation was more focused on the non-gaming entertainment you could do with the system. What really rubbed people the wrong way was all the anti-consumer features that were going to be included. The system would have to be connected to Microsoft's servers every 12 hours or else the system wouldn't work. The system required the second gen Kinect to always be connected. Used games might be possible, but it would be up to publisher to decide that. Also, the system would not be backwards compatible with any past Xbox 360 or Original Xbox titles. It also forced a rename of the original Xbox, since most people colloquially called it the Xbox One. |
||
+ | |||
+ | After getting thoroughly chewed out by everyone (including a few deep jabs from Sony at E3 2013), Microsoft was force to renege on most of the controversial features. The system still launched at $499 though. Microsoft eventually got wise and got rid of all the people responsible for the controversy. They eventually brought in people who knew the Xbox was a gaming brand first and foremost. They did add a ton of [[Xbox 360]] title to Backwards compatibility and even a few [[Xbox|Original Xbox]] titles. Along the way, Microsoft snatched up a ton of developers to make exclusive games for them. The system even got some decent console exclusives (Cuphead and PUBG). |
||
+ | |||
+ | Eventually,two new redesigns of the system were released. The first was a smaller, more compact version called the Xbox One S. Its 40% smaller, a bit more powerful than the original model, capable of playing 4k Blurays, and was the first Xbox since the original to include an internal power supply. The second was a bit of an overhaul, the One X. This included all the enhancements of the One S, but allowed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_One_X_enhanced_games certain titles] to be played in proper 4k resolution and with HDR. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Microsoft has since announced the Xbox Series X for launch in Holiday 2020, but have promised to keep the platform alive. They've gone so far as to say there won't be any exclusive Series X titles for the first few years. Meaning both systems will have the latest first party titles from Microsoft. Certain games will even come with a copy for Series X so you don't have to buy it again. |

⚫ | A-on is short for Always Online. For this list it means that the game requires an internet connection to have all it's features. If the game servers or the internet are down then the game will not work correctly. In short, this game will most likely not be functional outside of this console gen as game servers are taken down due to games getting older. For a general rule of thumb, any game that holds multiplayer above single player and any Ubisoft title is suspect to A-on features. |

+ | |Fourth entry in the Batman: Arkham series. After Joker's death, Gotham City goes mad as Scarecrow teams up with the mysterious Arkham Knight to wreak havoc. You know the deal by now - punch bad guys, do detective work, punch more bad guys. But this time, you can use the Batmobile, a feature that is great at first until they ask you to keep using it over and over again. Also, Scarecrow-induced hallucinations give you even more Joker screentime, which may or may not tickle your fancy depending on how much you like Mark Hamill. While it has its rough edges, it's still a worthy conclusion to the Batman Arkham series. |
Note - As WB Games is publishing this title, there is already a metric fuckload of DLC cut up and sold in tiny bite-sized packages (unless you bought the season pass). Most opinions on the DLC are somewhat mixed, especially concerning how long they are, so I would suggest holding out for the inevitable GOTY edition if you want it THAT much. |

|A remake of the 2008 release, DMC4SE once again gives you as much sword and gun gameplay as you could want. With dozens of weapons and fighting styles at your disposal, kill a bunch of demons and save the world I guess. Along with the not-emo Dante and original character donut steel Nero, you can now play as Dante's katana-wielding brother Virgil, his mysterious demon love interest Trish, and the gun-mad mercenary Lady. It's no Bayonetta, but it's definitely crazy enough. |

Takes some pages from Guilty Gear Xrd, using the same 3D-styled graphics made to look like 2D sprites. Story mode is what you'd expect from fighting games these days but the character interactions are surely entertaining. |
||
− | |Dragon Ball is back. Made by Dimps (the Budokai guys) in the Tenkaichi/Sparking! style. Now you can finally make your shitty Dragon Ball Z original character from when you were ten, you weeaboo. I bet he's a super saiyan and everything, loser. |
||
− | Character customization is pretty great, the game is pretty fun, has MMO-esque aspects (some have compared online side-quests to Monster Hunter). Controls take some time getting used to, and grinding can be a chore if you didn't spec your character right for your playstyle. It's more of an Action RPG than a pure fighting game. |
||

Has updated graphics compared to the PSP version, as well as the option to change the voices to English or Japanese, no multiplayer (as if anyone cared about it), an exclusive alternate ending, an updated soundtrack and an exclusive demo for Final Fantasy XV for the Day One edition. Keep away from the English dub, it is the worst English dub Square has ever worked on (even worse than Final Fantasy X, but not as bad as FF4 SNES). Has a somewhat spotty translation so get the PSP version if you are willing to pirate and you have PPSSPP or a PSP with CFW. |

||
+ | |||
+ | Be aware that there is a free PC port of the custom games multiplayer (with server browser) and Forge for Windows 10. It doesn't have matchmaking, but as Forge and Multiplayer are the only good parts it may be worth playing. |

While combat may vary in enjoyability from person to person, the real hook is the story: you have 50 hours worth of gameplay, and that's from the side missions alone. Worth a try just to see how much love CD Projekt RED puts in its games. |

||
− | |Point and Click game made by the developers of Deadly Premonition. Centers around a detective named David, who can't remember anything leading up to his wife's murder. Thanks to the incident, he also gained the ability to travel through time. Also he lives with a woman that acts like a cat and is friends with a detective with the ability to eat 5 slices of pizza in 3 bites. Every bit as bizarre, if not more so than Deadly Premonition with an insane cast of characters and a great soundtrack. Gameplay is a mixture of old and classic Telltale games, so if you like those, check this out. Sadly though it is in episodic format, so a current release date for the "Second Season" is currently up in the air. |

Revision as of 00:55, 29 May 2020
"Jump ahead."
The Xbox One is the watercooler successor to the Xbox 360.
The third console from Microsoft had a rough launch. When shown off to the world for the first time, the presentation was more focused on the non-gaming entertainment you could do with the system. What really rubbed people the wrong way was all the anti-consumer features that were going to be included. The system would have to be connected to Microsoft's servers every 12 hours or else the system wouldn't work. The system required the second gen Kinect to always be connected. Used games might be possible, but it would be up to publisher to decide that. Also, the system would not be backwards compatible with any past Xbox 360 or Original Xbox titles. It also forced a rename of the original Xbox, since most people colloquially called it the Xbox One.
After getting thoroughly chewed out by everyone (including a few deep jabs from Sony at E3 2013), Microsoft was force to renege on most of the controversial features. The system still launched at $499 though. Microsoft eventually got wise and got rid of all the people responsible for the controversy. They eventually brought in people who knew the Xbox was a gaming brand first and foremost. They did add a ton of Xbox 360 title to Backwards compatibility and even a few Original Xbox titles. Along the way, Microsoft snatched up a ton of developers to make exclusive games for them. The system even got some decent console exclusives (Cuphead and PUBG).
Eventually,two new redesigns of the system were released. The first was a smaller, more compact version called the Xbox One S. Its 40% smaller, a bit more powerful than the original model, capable of playing 4k Blurays, and was the first Xbox since the original to include an internal power supply. The second was a bit of an overhaul, the One X. This included all the enhancements of the One S, but allowed certain titles to be played in proper 4k resolution and with HDR.
Microsoft has since announced the Xbox Series X for launch in Holiday 2020, but have promised to keep the platform alive. They've gone so far as to say there won't be any exclusive Series X titles for the first few years. Meaning both systems will have the latest first party titles from Microsoft. Certain games will even come with a copy for Series X so you don't have to buy it again.
System Specs & Details
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
- 8 core "Jaguar" CPU
- non-replaceable 500 GB/1 TB internal Hard Drive, External Hard Drive support available
- Blu-Ray/DVD
- Wifi with ethernet port in back
- HDMI in-out
- USB 3.0, three ports
- Region-Free (physicial and digital, cross-region store purchases possible without needing alt accounts)
- Always Online by default- Internet + working servers needed to play many games.
- Mandatory use of cloud saves. All games and Apps (even Youtube) may fail if the Xbox network is acting up. More details.
- Day One update required to be able to use the system offline.
- Backwards compatible with select OG Xbox and 360 games, some with Xbox One X enhancements. As of 2019, Microsoft has no plans to release more backwards compatible titles. At least not until their new ninth gen console is out. Full list of backwards compatible games
- Xbox Live Gold Required for online play. Can import and use your Xbox 360 profile.
- Achievements will be ported from Xbox 360 along with your profile
- Mandatory game installs of even disc-based games
- Games with Gold: Every month, Xbox Live Gold users will receive two free Xbox One titles and two free Xbox 360 titles, all digitally. The Xbox One titles can be downloaded and played so long as you keep your subscription, while the 360 titles are yours to keep forever. All forthcoming 360 titles will be backwards-compatible, so you basically get four free games every month.
- Game Pass: A sort of Netflix for games where you have access to dozens of games. You can download them on your console and play them offline. Games are constantly being added but also being taken out. Microsoft has said that all of their future first party titles will be available day one on Game Pass. List of games
- Game Pass Ultimate: Gold + Game Pass for console and PC. Arguably one of the sweetest deals to play a bunch of games without breaking the bank. PC Game Pass is still in beta and the list of games is honestly not that great.
The List
A-on is short for Always Online. For this list it means that the game requires an internet connection to have all it's features. If the game servers or the internet are down then the game will not work correctly. In short, this game will most likely not be functional outside of this console gen as game servers are taken down due to games getting older. For a general rule of thumb, any game that holds multiplayer above single player and any Ubisoft title is suspect to A-on features.
