8-Bit Minute: Xbox One Wish List

There's been an awful lot of 'PS4' on ATSG lately, so I thought we'd mix things up a bit and have a look at the one last, lonely, remaining console on my to do list: The Xbox One.

The "Xbone" has been on an endless roller coaster since its debut at E3, where it took one very long, steep fall to the bottom of not only the coaster track, but my wish list, too. It's the only 8th generation competitor that I have yet to dabble in.
The Xbone got off to a really rough start with its initial operational policies, and even though they rectified many of their horrible decisions - for which I give them credit. Never have I seen a game-related manufacturer respond to user feedback so quickly - it seems a lot of people still just don't love their Xbones. A lot of people, once very excited to bring home their console, have confided in me that the system has a number of less than stellar features, requires a lot of updates and just doesn't run as well as anyone hoped.
But Microsoft's questionable juggling act isn't the only reason a lot of players aren't excited about the system... there just really aren't a lot of games.

If you're one of Xbox's patented FPS gamers, then sure, there's plenty of Halo and junk for you, but the Xbone's diversity is lacking. Hard. They recently came under a lot of criticism after canceling the much anticipated Scalebound, not only because people love Platinum games, but because it was set to add some much needed variety to the Xbone's roster. Personally, I never really liked the look of Scalebound, but I can't deny that the system desperately needed it.
For a RPGer like me, there's next to nothing on the system that meets my needs. BUT! There are a handful of (non-RPG) games that I would like to check out, so let's have a look at my Xbox One Wish List.

Les Dispositifs Terribles: Playstation 4

Well this is long overdue. I blame my mother. One cannot conduct a "mom test" when one's mother is in other countries! I'm not sure how helpful this is going to be, more than three years after the release of the console but, shoot, there must be people out there like me who wait to buy consoles, right?

...right? *crickets*
Um. Yeah. Not only is this way late for me, but Sony went ahead a released two new versions of the console recently, so this information is basically obsolete. But fuck it, this article has been half written since last March, so I'm posting it!
To be clear: we're talking about the original Playstation 4 unit. Not the slim, not the pro. The O.G.. Without further ado...

Game Binge - Episode Five [PS4 Edition]

In a strange turn of events, I found myself with a small scraping of free time (and also Chinese food!) and thought it was time to clear off the accumulated demos and try out some of my digital purchases on the PS4. It's not quite the caliber I'm accustomed to here on ATSG, but here's a small episode of the few things I was able to check out! Let me know if you've played these!
