Quad Damage 1,726 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-2018-report-card-year-in-review/1100-6463575/ Verdict Everything Microsoft did for Xbox One in 2018 is all well and good if you already own one of the consoles, but it might not have been enough to convince people to go out and buy a new Xbox this year. The Adaptive Controller opens up gaming to a new audience, but since it works with other systems, you don't need to buy an Xbox One to take advantage of its unique design. Despite how good Xbox Game Pass has been in 2018, the heavy hitters--the console exclusives for Microsoft's major IPs--are primarily scheduled for 2019 or beyond. And, as stated before, the studio acquisitions mostly set a stage for future releases that could be years away. Microsoft spent most of 2018 looking forward. That's great, as it could mean Xbox One has a chance to have a really good 2019 or 2020. But as it stands, 2018 was mostly a repeat of 2017. Microsoft doubled down on its attempts to improve its relationship with its existing player base--and it succeeded--but players were faced with another year where Xbox One doesn't have many exciting exclusives to point to. get your asses ready, lems. its year in review/awards season.

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Mind you I only restarted gaming this past summer, prior to that it was like 2016 when I was last gaming. Then prior to that it was 2011/2012. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everything else is also plainly laid out, labled and easy to find. Sony tried to fix their UI with folders but it just doesn't cut it, you still have to scan left to right with everything.
