Maybe Wolfenstein or dare I say Assassins Creed IV will be decent. But I have my doubts after Assassins Creed III.
But GTA V, Lords of Shadow 2, and Arkham Origins would have been great if they had next gen ports.

About the only reason I could come up with is he prefers the exclusives. That and basically all my friends are on live and plan on getting the One is the reason I am staying with it. If they weren't there then I would easily move to PS4. Pretty much it right there.

I bet within a year, all the negative feedback will have the xbox getting rid of most of these ludicrous features. Everything is overly complicated and ridiculous, it's like they just took the ramblings of a 5 year old and put them into a business model for a system. Not at all. Any idiot who buys one is not only showing their acceptance but approval of this kind of stuff (not to mention hurting the future of gaming in general by showing that this joke is actually marketable). If people seriously buy this console, any complaints won't mean **** because they'll already have your money. Plain and simple. Clearly, if they cared in any way what the consumers wanted they wouldn't be offering this sham to begin with. You don't get to buy something, knowing what you're getting into, and then complain later. If you want your complaints to be heard, do them now and when the time comes for action, don't buy the console. It's strange how much this can be tied to politics. Until people actually make a stand and say no to the **** that's going on instead of just going with it and accepting it, then not only is it not going to change, but it's only going to get worse. At the end of the day, gaming is a business. These people are out to make as much money off of this stuff as they can, and rightfully so. But when this is the product that they're offering and you don't like it, but still choose to buy it and put money in their pockets, what message do you think you're sending?

I think Mircosoft has plenty of potential with the studios they opened up and seem to be really invested in first party exclusives, much more so than last generation. It's just the policies with this system makes it really hard for me to get excited for it. I thought for sure I would get an Xbox next generation, but now I am seriously considering the PS4.

Unfortunatly too many people will buy the One as they dont follow any of this then be disappointed with it thus causing some blowback that Microsoft will probably ignore(I mean, they already have and the system hasnt even come out yet)I am just glad there is a competent company as competition and there is always Nintendo as an Alternative to everything.

Microsoft seems set in their ways so I don't see them budging anytime soon.

I've owned an Xbox 360 since launch, and played on it fairly regularly since then. I've owned and regularly played on the original Xbox. But the Xbox One? I cannot possibly support such a ludicrously terrible piece of shit. I've already made my mind up, and I'll be buying a PS4.

Most of my friends seem to be getting the Xbox One, except for two that I know of. I'll be going PS4. The ones getting xbox have told me that if I want to play with them online, I need to get the xbox, and not turn my backs on it. I told them hell no, and that I guess I won't really be doing any online gaming this console generation, and will be primarily single player.

So there are rumors going around that Microsoft is dropping the DRM policies and always online. Giantbomb has it up on their site. If this happens then I am, no question, getting the Xbox.

Good on them. I still think it's pathetic that people were actually going to buy what was originally on the table. Fortunately, the numbers of people who actually had their eyes open were greater than those who didn't. Glad to see them realize and correct their mistakes. This may be enough to get them, pardon the pun, back in the game.

I'm thinking GameStop pulling the One's pre Order SKU's had alot to do with this decision.

I'm still going to get a PS4 instead of an Xbox One due to them having the dumb policies in the first place. I've lost my faith in Microsoft.

I definitely am still bitter towards them as well for even thinking something like that was passable. Plus, who's to say what policies they do or don't implement/reimplement later down the road. It's not like the technology isn't already there. As of now, though, this is a case of competition doing what it's supposed to and I'm glad to see them take the steps they have. I'm not jumping at either of these right away anyhow, so we'll see how things play out. Okay, I seriously need to stop with these puns. Also, just saw this term trending on Twitter, and it describes it perfectly: XBOX 180.
