Ew you don't like Xbox systems that must mean I hate you get away from me PlayStation scum - Extreme Microsoft fanboy
Why don't you like the 360/One?
The battle lines are drawn!
I actually used to like the 360, although over the years I've really regretted purchasing one, as it lost the majority of the games that made it worth the purchase for me - the three Mass Effect titles, Eternal Sonata, Star Ocean 4, The Last Remnant, etc...and worse, those exclusives were improved when they were ported over to other consoles. It's still got a few noteworthy exclusives for me, but not many, and it just really annoys me that it happened. Maybe I shouldn't take it out on the console, as it's my own fault for being so impatient, but it still makes it a very off-putting machine...and I remember a time when it was stated, categorically, that Mass Effect would remain an Xbox 360 exclusive. I don't regret selling it, as in the end I was keeping it for three games: Banjo-Kazooie, Magna Carta II, and Tales of Vesperia. I had lots of other games for it, but I wound up getting most of them on the PS3 again.
Plus I was always pissed off that they had the audacity to charge you for online services the PS3 let you have free of charge, especially when Xbox Live was such a second-rate service when compared to the PSN...it was messy (at least it was after the update that made it look more like Windows 8) and the volume and variety of titles was insigificant when compared to the massive backlog the PSN had. Of course, Sony had the advantage there of history, but there were plenty of great Xbox titles they could have put up on their store. The controller design was awkward, and changing discs was a nuisance...changing discs! In the seventh generation! Not even the Wii made you swap discs. There really wasn't any excuse for that. It's a lot of little things, but they all add up. The PS3 has its flaws as well - I think I could probably hack their server, and I don't know the first thing about hacking! - but it has an amazing library of games. My PS3 library was twice the size my 360 library within a year.
With the Xbone it's not so much dislike as it is indifference, only I tend towards a negative viewpoint because I expect it'll be exactly like the 360 in terms of exclusive games. Which is fine, because obviously consoles aren't built to cater solely for me (although I do wonder with the Vita sometimes...) but I don't see why there can't be a little more diversity; it wouldn't hurt for Microsoft to at least
try and attract some more developers. It's early days yet, but...well, it's early days for the PS4 too, and I'm already looking forward to the near future. I expect it'll have one or two games I'll want to play, but not enough for me to change my overall perspective on it. Still, we'll see, right?
Haha, you're not the only one. Been so excited for Type-0 that I've barely registered what the actual plot of the game is and what I'm setting out to do as a player.
Escha & Logy was a fun game c: I was at first hesitant on the whole time-sensitive concept of Atelier games and the whole alchemy process, but it eventually grew on me and I purchased Ayesha shortly after.
Play first, work out plot later? xD
I picked up Type-0 primarily because I need more PS4 games; I wasn't really excited for it, which might be why I'm struggling to motivate myself to put time aside for it. All I want out of Square Enix right now is a Final Fantasy XII HD remaster; Zodiac version or not, I don't care. I just want to go back to Ivalice! xD
I've been playing the games since Rorona, and whilst I doubt it'll top Meruru (I'd be amazed if it did) it's shaping up to be as fun as Ayesha was for me. It reminds me a lot of Rorona in terms of the structure of the assignments and the map - Totori and Ayesha, at least, felt a lot less restrictive, and Meruru let you do whatever you felt like to achieve your goals - but I'm liking the improvements made to the battle system thus far. The cast isn't really striking a chord with me this time around, though...
