Titanfall looks bananas. mouth was drooling as I watched the gameplay. dunno tho. The PS4 has some pretty cool indie games coming for it, and I'm enjoying the concept of their integration between ps3, vita and ps4.
As for XB1, aside from titanfall and sunset overdrive.. There's nothing that really got me excited enough for me to go out and say, I want that. KI would have done it at one point. But the bullshit they're pulling, I can't get behind that. And it disgusts me when people think that that's a good idea. Because where as DLC gave you an idea of companies pussy footing around selling you an unfinished product, Killer Instinct does it brazenly, unabashedly, and shameless. yes. all synonyms.
They're telling you, "here's an unfinished product. and you're going to buy it."
and people are actually responding positively to that. that disgusts me.
if KI sells well, it will tell companies that developers can literally now make a game with the bare minimum. one stage. part of an act. little to no options, basically sell you a demo and you play that until the full game comes out. and if you buy the full game, you can get it all when it drops but in the meanwhile you're stuck playing the demo.
that's disgusting.

100% wrong, let me explain why you're confusing the concept of "Free to Play" models with "Unfinished games.."
1: The game is finished, it's FREE TO PLAY on the Xbox One. Meaning you don't pay a cent for the game.
2: As you will notice with phone app games now on iPhone and Tablets, they have games like Plants vs Zombies, which you can play for free, but the company makes it's money from giving you the option to buy better characters and upgrades in the game. It's completely optional. ( A company has to make money somehow, right?)
3: Basically KI is going to give you the option to buy any characters you would like, but those characters aren't available just on downloading the game for free. They aren't ''forcing''you to buy all the characters, they're merely giving you the option to upgrade your gaming experience with financial compensation. Just like how you would have to pay more for a VIP suite at a hotel, over a regular room.
4: What you're really saying is "Oh I don't want free games if I have to pay money for stuff in the game! I should have 100% access to EVERYTHING in the game when I buy it!" And who exactly regulates what 100% of a game even is? You? Of course not, the developer. It's a free-to-play game concept model, it's all over the iphone marketplace already, this concept is nothing new.
(Besides if you're the type of person who just bought a console for $500 I doubt you're going to be complaining because you need to pay $3 for Glacious lol.)

It's tough to say a company is extorting you when they're giving you 65% of the game for free, and asking you to optionally pay for the other 35% in pieces. That's not a "rip off" that's not "shameless", that's not "disgusting", that's a good business model.
Think of it this way, you'll only be paying $30 tops, maybe, for a game that probably would have retailed for $60 by itself brand new. That's not a rip off at all...

i'm sorry, I didn't even bother to read your post. what? yeah move along. no one on this side of the computer is listening to you, so. don't even bother. I'm just too lazy to push the ignore button on you. another reason why I haven't ignored you yet is because there was a time when your posts made me laugh and giggle. especially at your stupidity. you can post your facts about whatever system you like.
i don't care.
this will be my only direct reply to you boy.
so.. cheers.
