  1. I just steer clear away from all spoilers til the mid season hiatus at bare minimum. Like right now I am scrolled to the bottom of the page in order to avoid any potential spoilers you might have included in your post. The only thing I have been spoiled by thus far was an advert on TV that showed Scootaloo flying with a helmet on and poking her head through a cloud. So my point is, avoiding spoilers on an MLP forum isn't impossible. Just be diligent! xD

    And now, I leave this thread.... forever!

    What do you mean stop acting like fanboys? Is that what I am doing? I am not downplaying any particular system here. I legit don't care about exclusives, that is my personal preference. There are problems I have with the Xbox One in some ways, I pretty much have some issues with every platform. Just because I really like the system regardless of 'exclusives' doesn't make me some fanboy. 

     

    You are getting too defensive! xD I'll admit Cellie is clearly the one antagonizing you, but do not give him the satisfaction lol. You sound like Kid Smoove (this one hilariously entertaining Xbox fanboy on good old Jewtube):

    I think I might have this thread locked. I brought up a discussion and already it is devolving into 'Microsoft sucks and is so stupid, nobody has a reason to get an Xbox One, Scorpio is gonna fail hur hur'. No point in keeping the thread open if that's all it is going to be. 

    Excuse me? A bad purchase? I will be the judge of that. You know how many games I have for the Xbox One? Not counting the disk games I have yet to install, I have 362 games. The Xbox One, for me, has been fantastic. I don't give FUCK about exclusives or no, the system lets me play all sorts of games, I like the media options, I like the UI and overall, I like the system a lot. 

    There is a thing called preference in this world and hell, that could simply be the answer to the Japanese market here. Preference. I don't like PC gaming. It does not interest me. I like console gaming. So my console of choice is Xbox One. Don't like it? Whatever, that's YOU, buddy. It gives you no right to tell me that I made a bad purchase. 

    ^Sounds like something straight out of his mouth xD

    You gotta understand, people are always gonna be there to insult the Xbox community. The console "wars" are outta control. Sony, Nintendo, and PC gamers will rush to the forefront to tell you how you should be ashamed for purchasing such a "worthless" console like the Xbox One. All it is, is school yard shit flinging. Don't let it get to you lol.

    Well, yeah. It would be kind of creepy for an adult to say, "Boy howdy! That Scootaloo is a real babe, ain't she?". :eww:

    Oh c'mon, now, that is just ASKING for it xD

     

  4. Lmao,@ Kyoshi and Celli xD 

    Xbox One simply is not a bad purchase due to the value proposition I mentioned above. Ps4 Pro was a $400 box I bought which died on me after 2 months -.- Was it cool for those 2 months it worked properly? Sure, it was pretty rad; I played over 8 games to completion some of which being hella awesome experiences. But even then I noticed things that shouldn't have happened. NieR:Automata, which just so happens to be one of my favorite games of all time, ran at one of the UGLIEST stuttery "60fps" locks I have ever seen. The frame pacing was atrocious, it could hardly stay locked at 60 for more than 4 seconds lmao. And the graphics on that game practically looked like a glorified Ps3 game.

    So, no, the Ps4 Pro was far from an "amazing" purchase. I simply got one since I had waited that long before dipping my toes into the Ps4 market and "why not" get the slightly beefed up model as opposed to the normal Ps4, at that point? The value proposition it offered over the Ps4 was certainly notable; both double the storage space AND double the GPU power, all for an extra $100. Was pretty much a no brainer to opt for the Pro (just wish the thing lasted a bit longer lol).

    Bottom line is this: Both sides have their positive aspects

    Ps4 - offers a wide variety of Japanese games as well as generally more varied types of games than Xbox

    Xbox - offers games at an EXTREMELY cheap price which generally only run slightly worse than on the Ps4

    ^So you pick your poison. As a massive weaboo myself, I will always go with the box that lets me play more awesome Japanese games (assuming they are good; I may be a weeb but I still have refined taste >.>). I bought Recore for my Xboner, Was pretty fun at first. I loved the focus on high risk platforming. But soon it just dissolved into a combat-heavy trek through one of the most desolate open worlds i have ever seen >.<  Scalebound looked SOOOOO good though, and I am extremely disappointed to see it go... Woulda been a day one purchase for me :o 

    Best games I played on the Ps4 Pro:

    NieR:Automata

    The Last Guardian

    Horizon Zero Dawn

    Uncharted 4

     

    Best games I played on the Xbox One:

    Forza Horizon 3

    Sunset Overdrive

    Halo 5

     

     

    ^Exclusives DO matter a hellava lot to me. Exclusives were the sole reason I bought the Wii U back in 2014. Mario Kart 8, Sm4sh, Pikmin 3, etc. I actually had a bit of buyers' remorse until the absolutely mind-altering Xenoblade Chronicles X dropped in December 2015 for the US. That game was my life for winter break at Uni xD Played it for 250 hours (all on the little 6 inch Wii U tablet too since I had no good monitor nor TV in my dorm). That game stands to this day as my #3 game of all time! If it hadn't been for the exclusivity of that game, my impressions of the Wii U would have been quite poor, to say the least.

    I'm not going to claim that exclusives matter to everyone, like Kyoshi here, but for many consumers, exclusives are the very reason to chose one gaming platform over the other. The Vita completely shit on the 3DS in terms of hardware. Crazy awesome OLED screen, like 3x the performance and resolution. But the 3DS demolished the Vita due solely to its exclusive line up being worlds better (yes EVEN for a weaboo like myself) The best Fire Emblem games in the entire franchise hit the 3DS one after another. Pokemon XY and SUn and Moon were awesome. Yokai Watch was immaculately executed and brought back some serious Megaman Battle Network nostalgia xD. The best Vita offered were shitty otaku-bait shovelware and ports of older games we'd already played 1000x over. I think the best game I played on my Vita before I sold it was Sorcery Saga lol (it was a very cute/ charming game, I will admit, but it simply cannot compete with Nintendo's handheld line up)

     

    So yeah, every company has their faults and strengths, stop acting like fanboys >.>

     

  5. I don't care about individual season box sets lol. All I want is, once the entire series is over, for these people to release an all-encompassing S1-S10+ Bluray, potentially UHD, with some kick ass extra content (documentaries, interviews, storyboards, what have you), beautiful box design, and great video/audio quality overall. 

    I'd pay $200+ for something like that :O___

  6. People hate Alicorns because there were supposed to be only 2 Alicorns in MLP:FiM; Celestia and Luna. Cadence was the first big atrocity. Twilicorn was the second. Flurry Heart is the scourge of ponykind.

    Basically, Alicorns are supposed to be divine creatures. Making multiple divine creatures come out of nowhere, when they had been non-existent for the past several thousand years just reeks of contrived writing and general pandering to little girls who love the "everyone can be a princess" message. 

    Personally, I loved Twilight ascending to "God-hood" as it was an awesome pay-off to all of her hard work serving under Celestia's metaphorical wing. It was like Goku going SSJ for the first time; just incredibly badass. I like seeing Twilight being rewarded for enduring all her neurotic stress sessions xD But Cadence and Flurry Heart outta nowhere left a hella bad taste in my mouth >.<

    I think I had some non-pony waifus before, but the only one I can remember is Platinum Berlitz from Pokemon Adventure :huh: . NOT Dawn, PLATINUM BERLITZ

    Aha, someone with more refined taste, I see >.> 

    The Pokemon Adventures manga was always objectively better than any of the anime's feeble attempts for sure.

    I'm sorry you're trying to justify a bad purchase, but it is what it is. Stop trying to defend the Xbone and wake up. 

    And don't get me started on the Scorpio. If you're really planning to buy it, I feel sorry for you, it's not going to be cheaper than $500-$600. And at that point you might as well just build a budget gaming PC.

    Xbox One isn't a bad purchase. If you bought it for the price I did, at least. It is a GREAT entry-level budget console to get into the "AAA" market. 1TB New Xbox One with Halo 5, Gears Ultimate Ed., Rare Replay <--- All new in box, and a download code for Ori and the Blind Forest... all for a measly $250. That simply cannot be beaten by any other gaming platform.

    Now, if you spent $500 dollars on a 500 GB version bundled with the useless Kinect at launch... then I completely agree it was an objectively BAD purchase lol.

    As for the Scorpio, from what I have seen, the thing will likely compete with a GTX 980-1060-980 Ti in terms of the performance / visuals it pumps out. The thing is beastly.... but unfortunately "Micro$oft" decided to completely skimp on the CPU -.-  2.3 Ghz without overclockability in 2017!?? WTF. So forget about all those awesome 60 fps locked games.... we'll likely be getting similar disappointing 30 fps gameplay for most titles just like Ps4 Pro Q.Q (and here I was dreaming of playing Forza Horizon 3 at 60 fps on console >.< Yes, I will be getting a PC eventually lol).

    Still, for the price, I doubt PC can compete with a Scorpio just in terms of raw power, not to mention the "supposed" DX 12 physical implementation within the box itself. You can find my rather.... crestfallen impressions on the Scorpio in detail, here, btw:  https://mlpforums.com/topic/164758-xbox-scorpio-microsofts-belated-april-fools-joke

    I feel like both the show and fandom peaked around Season 2, then hipsters started joining, we had Twilicorn, Lauren Faust left. A lot of stuff went wrong at that point. The mane (huehuehuehue I said mane instead of main) reason I think the fandom has gotten worse is the so many of my favorite fanfiction authors have left, quite a few of my favorite stories will never be finished. The show's quality, while not necessarily worse, has changed because most of the original writers have left. I also don't like being the only one in my group of friends still into the show.

     

    I feel like both the show and the fandom got their absolute worst at season 2 lol. So many try-hard, ninnies trying to don ponies as a badge of hipster cred at that point. Twilicorn was the much needed chemotherapy that eradicated the majority of these trend-following oafs :o  Bow before your lord and savior, fellow /b/ronies:

    Well...it can be difficult to determine the age of cartoon characters, which poses a problem. An adult viewer could develop a crush on a character then find out that he/she is supposed to be ten years old. YIKES:blink: 

     

    ^Why should that pose any problems whatsoever, lol? The age of fictional characters really matters that much to you? o,o

    (Also, yay! I finally have an excuse to post this:)

    This discussion isn't about Microsoft's worldwide sales. While they don't sell as much as Playstation, they do sell enough to be profitable and supported. Japan is the focus here. Seriously, can we please stop bringing up 'Ugh, why would anyone get an Xbox One when you can get a PC instead?' in every Xbox related discussion ever? It is a tired discussion at this point. Then again I might be one of the only people in the world who doesn't base their system purchases on exclusives so, I don't know.

     

    Wii U and Ps4 sales in Japan aren't outstanding. Japanese consumers are all over the handheld side of platforms though. Like 3DS, Vita, and the Switch. But you would be hard pressed to find any "hardcore" Japanese games who consider these devices to fulfill all their gaming needs. If anything, handhelds offer a supplementary gameplay experience, a side dish, if you will. So, what is the main course of the Japanese hardcore gamer? My only guess is P.C. gaming. Where else could these people turn besides pc? They don't want Xbox, most of them don't want Ps4, so where do they get all those triple "A" experiences from? That is the only reason I bring up the Xbox - PC argument.

    Ps4 has proven to sell much, much better in territories outside of Japan, like the US, Europe, etc. Just an fyi, lol
