    Welcome to Mr. Smiley's Xbox Lounge. Here we reminisce about the days of honey mustard glory and Bungie chapters. We're a bunch of "old" Bungie fans, most of whom have been around since the early Halo days.

New Console Sound-Off!

I have found that, unlike any of the previous console launches I've been through (almost all of them), more so than ever my friends are holding off before buying a PS4 or Xbox One. Screw that! After canceling and reordering the PS4 and Xbox One multiple times, then canceling them all outright, then getting up at 5am this morning to preorder an Xbox One from Amazon, I'm fully on board with the "next-gen." Sure, I [i]could[/i] wait until launch bugs are worked out and there are actually games that I want to play, but that's far too logical. So, is anyone with me? If you're getting (got) a PS4 then post what games you're playing. If you're getting (got) an Xbox One that do the same! Also include you gamertag so we can play stuff together! I will be playing one game: Battlefield 4, and I am [i]stoked[/i] to finally be able to play on console with 64 players! I'll be getting Peggle 2 when it releases in a couple weeks, but that's about it for me until next year when Plants vs Zombies and TitanFall come out. So if you wanna join me for BF4 next week/this weekend. Do it. I also just got AC4, but I got it on PC because it's a single player game and I want it to look as good as possible. You can tell it's a port of the last-gen version, but it still looks gorgeous. :)

  • Just got Ryse for Christmas, so now my Xbone game count includes Battlefield 4, Dead Rising 3 and Ryse. I'm down to XBL it up with whomever if anyone has any of these games and wants to play. Just make sure if youre sending me a friend request and youre not already on my list, you include a message letting me know who you are.

    • Oh man... the Xbox One should have stayed in production for another 6 months. The software is so tedious and non-intuitive right now. Party chat doesn't work 100% of the time. You have to actually back out of your game and launch the friends app to see who's online. There are no voice messages. The in-game chat is horribly choppy. Parties are incredibly confusing, and there's no way to manually invite someone to a game! I could go on. Obviously these are all software issues, which will hopefully be smoothed out and changed over time, but hot damn does the Xbox One feel like a beta product. Don't even get me started on how broken Battlefield 4 is. Why do all new consoles and games (aside from Nintendo) feel like a public beta test!? It's getting quite old.
