Xbox One Console Reviews

Yeah my last Sony was 55 then the LG OLED was 55 then I went to 65 for the Sony 900 series I copped.
Do you mean graphically? Cause right now my PS4 Pro does eat my XBox One S. But when the Xbox One X drop this convo will definitely have to be revisited. Also the PS4 Pro does 4K native but the XBox One X is full 4K.
I have a friend whose a graphic designer . He bought the new Microsoft surface studio that machine is nice.
Im just waiting to pick up my Project Scorpio. Playstation got the belt now but we will take over shortly.
Agreed man. I'm super excited for this XB1 X. My last Sony was 4K but did not have HDR. When they announced the XBox One X I got rid of it and copped the Sony with HDR and there's definitely a difference. I'm holding off on playing my games over until the XBox One X drop.
My 4k doesn't have HDR but I'm still copping the X. I'll be upgrading shortly anyway.
The Xbox One X is mos def gonna dog walk the ps4 pro graphically, too bad they wont have no games to play on it.
So u picked up the 930?

I’m tempted to say ‘stolen legacy’
I played Gears of War ultimate on my regular xbox. I said hey its only 20 bucks. Graphically it looked like crap in comparison to friends who have Ps4 pros and xbox one s.
didn’t get an update for a new dashboard...are you part of the preview program?
It's hands down the best affordable HDR tv on the market right now. I did a lot of research after getting it to see what people were saying about owning it and they were all positive. I love it I don't have any complaints except you definitely need a sound bar.
On the Youtube Oled review front. An Asian breh Youtube name HDTVtest is through with the reviews. Im looking at the Sony A1 vs Panasonic oled comparison.
Good looks on the feedback much appreciated. Trying to be done Christmas shopping by November.
Yeah bro let us know what you decided to go with and how the experience is with it.
Cuphead goes platinum
We have worked tirelessly over the past few years to deliver a game that remained true to our vision and we are both humbled and excited that so many people from around the world are playing Cuphead – it truly makes it all worth it.
From all of us at StudioMDHR, thanks again for your support!

Yep Stolen Legacy by George G. M. James. Got it as a gift, but I have a few other books to finish before I get to it. Heard its a must read.

Dude I've been telling my goddamn fanboy cousin that shit for months. How much Forza can a mother fucker play?
I'm sorry
when does god of war come out again?... LOL
Shit plenty im a Forza stan. The new Forza 7 is sick and will be bananas on Scoripo.
I don't know sometime next year along with Days Gone and Spider-Man. Exclusives matter good brother. Racing games, while they can be popular, aren't mentioned in the "must haves" conversation when talking about consoles. Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer on PsOne were probably the last must haves for me, everything has been riding off the success of the previous versions.
Besides, I'm not loyal to any console. I have them all. I'm getting a Switch to play Mario in 2 weeks. I'm playing Cuphead and Uncharted 4 now, and I'll be on to Wolfenstein and South Park when I finish these.
Patent reveals Activision uses matchmaking to encourage players to buy more microtransactions – UPDATE
UPDATE: Activision sent us the following statment in regards to this new patent being revealed, stating that the matchmaking patent was an exploratory patent that is not implemented in any title.
“This was an exploratory patent filed in 2015 by an R&D team working independently from our game studios. It has not been implemented in-game.”
Original Story:
Rolling Stone magazine has uncovered a new patent from Activision that was filed in 2015 that talks about how the company wants to design their matchmaking systems in their titles. Activision was granted the patent earlier this month by the US Patent and Trademark Office.
This new patent appears to be about how Activision plans to use “tricks” in their matchmaking system to lure players to purchase more in-game items through the course of playing a game. Specifically (one aspect of the large patent), the patent mentions that high skilled players get paired with low-skilled players to purposefully encourage low-skilled players to spend more money to get better in-game items to match up against higher skilled players.
“For example, in one implementation, the system may include a microtransaction engine that arranges matches to influence game-related purchases. For instance, the microtransaction engine may match a more expert/marquee player with a junior player to encourage the junior player to make game-related purchases of items possessed/used by the marquee player. A junior player may wish to emulate the marquee player by obtaining weapons or other items used by the marquee player.”
Furthermore, the patent describes that Activision could use the matchmaking data to encourage players to buy specific items they want, for example a sniper rifle.
“In a particular example, the junior player may wish to become an expert sniper in a game (e.g., as determined from the player profile). The microtransaction engine may match the junior player with a player that is a highly skilled sniper in the game. In this manner, the junior player may be encouraged to make game-related purchases such as a rifle or other item used by the marquee player.”
The patent also details that Activision may matchmake those who own a specific microtransaction item with those who do not, which could encourage the player who does not own the microtransaction item to purchase in-game credits to get it.
“Microtransaction engine 128 may analyze various items used by marquee players and, if at least one of the items is currently being offered for sale (with or without a promotion), match the marquee player with another player (e.g., a junior player) that does not use or own the item. Similarly, microtransaction engine 128 may identify items offered for sale, identify marquee players that use or possess those items, and match the marquee players with other players who do not use or possess those items. In this manner, microtransaction engine 128 may leverage the matchmaking abilities described herein to influence purchase decisions for game-related purchases.”
The patent also reveals how Activision could make players more encouraged to purchase additional in-game content after an initial purchase. The new engine they received a patent for would allow Activision to matchmake players with microtransaction items into games which highlight the power of the microtransaction item, leading players to feel satisfied with the purchase to buy additional content because of the gratification of the purchase.
“In an implementation, when a player makes a game-related purchase, microtransaction engine 128 may encourage future purchases by matching the player (e.g., using matchmaking described herein) in a gameplay session that will utilize the game-related purchase. Doing so may enhance a level of enjoyment by the player for the game-related purchase, which may encourage future purchases. For example, if the player purchased a particular weapon, microtransaction engine 128 may match the player in a gameplay session in which the particular weapon is highly effective, giving the player an impression that the particular weapon was a good purchase. This may encourage the player to make future purchases to achieve similar gameplay results.”
As part of the summary of the patent, Activision claims that in a certain implementation of a new microtransaction engine, the new system could “arrange matches to influence game-related purchases.”
Microtransactions first appeared in Call of Duty back in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 with new ways to customize content. Since Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, in 2014, Activision brought a Supply Drop system to Call of Duty where players can purchase loot boxes to attain random content. Call of Duty’s loot boxes have weapons in the game which do feature stat changes, like in Black Ops 3, Advanced Warfare, and some weapons in Infinite Warfare.
Activision has also come under fire recently for the Eververse implementation in Destiny 2, where some Shader’s could not be used multiple times in game. Bungie’s community director says the this matchmaking system is not implemented in Destiny.
We shared more information about the patent in this article here.
