Re: Poll: Are You More Interested In The ROG Xbox Ally Now That Reviews Are Out?

Mr_Wolf12000

I dont have a handheld (or gaming) PC in general, so that functionality combined with a robust Xbox digital library going back almost 2 decades interests me, but then I see I dont have access to most of it? The actual **** is that? Plus its 1300 CDN price tag for the 1TB version evaporates that interest pretty quickly.

Hell, 630 CDN for the Switch 2 is too bloody expensive IMO and this is more than double.

Re: Talking Point: Which Has Been The Most Reliable Xbox Console For You?

Mr_Wolf12000

My original 2007 Elite RROD'd after 18 months and I was able to get another 9 months out of a repair. My Elite JASPER chipset is still going, even after a ridiculous amount of Rock Band. So I vote Later 360

I have thankfully had no issues with my VCR X1 or Series X. I did buy a One X for a great deal locally but it wound up needing a new disc drive

Re: Talking Point: What Convinced You To Pick Xbox In The First Place?

Mr_Wolf12000

Friends had OG Xbox, so I could play there, but I wasnt going to buy a 3rd system at the time.

I wasnt in dire need of a new console when 360 and PS3 launched, but after seeing both in action I went 360. At the time (Oct 2007) Bioshock and Dead Rising were console exclusives (I dont care much for FPS/3PS so this isnt a factor) I had heard the better Guitar Hero/Rock Band experience was on Xbox, and I was b@lls deep into music games. I also really liked the controller, the interface and the achievements.

Re: Talking Point: Does Mortal Kombat 1 Live Up To The Hype?

Mr_Wolf12000

I dont think a comparison to SF6 is necessary; I like both fighting systems for what they are. And "what's better" is purely subjective. There are similarities but you cant make a 1:1 comparison IMHO. There is a lot to like about both games, and this has been a banner year for fans of fighting games with Tekken 8 still to come.

I love invasions mode. I will say I wasnt crazy about the Kameo system to start off but over time I have grown to enjoy it and better incorporate it into my strategies. There are things I like about MK11 better than this new game, but its gorgeous and Im getting my money's worth.

Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Bought An Xbox For One Specific Game?

Mr_Wolf12000

The short answer is not really; and never for something Microsoft 1st Party when exclusivity was a factor

i was so invested in my PS2 Library I didnt much care for getting an Xbox - my friends had them and every game I was interested in playing they had and we did together.

Xbox 360 I jumped over for Bioshock, Dead Rising (both exclusives at the time) and what was reported to be a better Rock Band experience.

Xbox One I got a Holiday Bundle in 2014 in anticipation of the following June's Arkham Knight

The Series X I got because of All Access. I make good use of it, but it wasnt NEEDED. it was that I could pay 40 cdn a month for it and Game Pass im already paying a little less than 1/2 per month instead of 700 cdn plus tax

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Xbox Live Memory?

Mr_Wolf12000

Street Fighter IV - wish I knew the tag of the guy I went Sagat vs Zangief double health round 3, empty bars final hit but that was great and wether I won or lost I didnt encounter many, or at least any memorable jerks.

UFC Undisputed 1-2 - lots of great competition and making one dude in particular rage like ive rarely ever seen, simply for winning.

UFC Undisputed 3 - being the Jiu-Jitsu coach through TrueAchievements to help other players from around the world to unlock the position achievement in the Dojo

Transformers Cybertron games - I dont care much for big group multiplayer but grinding or legit this is my favorite multiplayer game ever.

Arkham Origins - this was pure grinding through TrueAchievements but man, what a great time we had over 5 weekends. Those Saturday Mornings were a lot of laughs.
