Sorry PX I didn't read the whole article and entered in the contest despite living in the US! I saw AC: Unity and entered immediately! Good luck to all those in the UK/Europe!
I can't wait to try this one out. I have Forza 5 but haven't played it much. I've found that I'm drawn towards more arcade-type racers these days. This looks great and hopefully with the demo I can see if I should add yet another game to the list of purchases this fall...
Signed up the month, plan on canceling before it renews. Been wanting to try FIFA and Peggle 2 and a month gives me plenty of time to enjoy both for only $5. This is a great deal for me.
Obviously it's too early in the Xbox One's life cycle to expect AAA games included in the GWG program, but similarly to PS+ for PS4, the indies and smaller titles included with the two programs have allowed me to play some good games that I likely would not have dropped $10-$20 on. I haven't finished any of these titles yet but at least I got some hours of enjoyment out of them and it helps fill the void in between other larger releases. I probably won't bother with these titles during the fall, but there's nothing to lose if I download them for a later time. Who's going to say no to "free" games?
Although it would have been nice to have some of these features from this and previous updates at launch, Microsoft has been doing a great job improving the OS each month with meaningful updates (not just bug fixes). Hopefully music on Xbox One will be updated in the next couple months, preferably by providing more streaming options than just Xbox Music (I currently use Beats).
It was hard going "all in" on the next generation this early in the life cycle, but I have to say the first half of 2014 has been good to me for all platforms.
1. Mario Kart 8 2. Trials Fusion 3. Rayman Legends 4. Titanfall 5. Infamous Second Son
Most Disappointed: Watch Dogs
Really looking forward to the fall/holiday season, specifically Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, Destiny, Super Smash Bros., Halo MCC and Ori and the Blind Forest.
I recently sold my PS4 and picked up an Xbox One knowing that currently (and in the future?) 3rd Party games are going to perform slightly better on PS4. To me gameplay always wins, especially when it just comes down to resolution. If I don't see both versions in person side-by-side how am I going to tell the difference? I chose to get the One since all of my friends on 360 who have upgraded continue to choose the Xbox One, despite the higher price and "less powerful" components, plus the fact that the Xbox One controller to me is perfect - better than the DS4. So to me, controller and community/Xbox Live trump the increased resolution the PS4 is getting at the moment. I'd rather play Destiny with friends on Xbox One than on PS4 with some strangers/no one even if I have to sacrifice 1080p.
