You sound in a similar situation as me, Ive always liked the Forza games so always considered an XO because of them but it always seemed just not enough to make the purchase - especially with a massive backlog.I'm in a similar situation as OP because I'm also thinking about getting X1 to play few titles, but not sure if its worth it. I used to have on OG Xbox and 360 but they never clicked with me and I played only several games on them (PGR and Lost Odyssey were bloody amazing though).
The main reason I want to get an Xbone is to play Forza (MS and Horizon) games because Sony shut down Evolution Studios and GTS looks very underwhelming to me at this point. I don't have a gaming PC and prefer console gaming in general.On another hand I don't want to buy a system and then sell it because it did not click with me. On top of that I don't have much time to play and my backlog grows all the time.
Help me out GAF!!!
THIS right here so much. While I do enjoy a lot of games on my PS4 (looking forward to Odin's Sphere Lefthanderorsomething), it has essentially become a Destiny box that plays other games...sometimes. lol.It will be a long time if ever before Windows Store even competes with Steam. Don't see it happening unless they SEVERELY undercut Steam(unlikely) in pricing and get rid of the restrictions on their apps. Being a Windows user(which is basically forced on you if you own a PC) doesn't mean you have any real interest in their ecosystem even if you technically a part of it. Microsoft handed PC gaming to Valve and they are not getting it back.
Considering Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 are my two favorite games this generation and Destiny is my most played game I have to disagree. I guess it depends on how you much value you need though.
And Uncharted 4 will most likely be my GOTY, but the exclusives that are system sellers are too few imo, the 2-3 must have games will be quite expensive if the rest of the games are played on PC. It was a whole other situation a few gens ago when barely any console game came to PC. But almost all games comes to PC now and are usually better there too. It's a bad evolution of console gaming but fantastic for PC gaming. There are still a few games that are better on console though, TR2013, DOA5LR for example.Considering Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 are my two favorite games this generation and Destiny is my most played game I have to disagree.

It hasn't been explicitly confirmed but the writing is on the wall. We at least know all future Forza games will be Xbox and PC.Was it confirmed that all X1(and Scorpio) games are coming to PC? Because two or three isn't the x1's lineup.
What features does uwp lacks compared to steam? Other than missing (which is biggie I know) what else does currently a steam version of a game offers that can't be done on uwp games?
Then play on xbone?
Also remember that Xbox/Windows integration is a two way road. Xbox ia getting mouse/keyboard support, and I'm sure some pc only games are coming as well due the desktop converter. I mean, Phil wouldn't show Age of Empires 2 HD converted to the uwp platform, and then say the game can be deployed to xbone for nothing, right?
OMGOMGOMGOMG
Please, can you also say anything about Sunset Overdrive 2? A simple nod or any shimmer of hope will suffice.
Scorpio changes that it will offer more performance for a lower price than you could get on Pc. Going forward I'm pretty sure it's how Ms is going to position the xbox brand.
"The platform is everywhere, but if you like it you can buy a very budget xbox slim to have access to these games, and if you care about performance we have the best bang for your buck with Scorpio. Otherwise, if you want to build your custom setup and achieve maximum performance you are good too" is imo a great message for the platform.
It would be a mistake for any PC owner to get an Xbox One right now. Virtually all titles will be coming to PC and unless you want to play those games in sub-HD and low framerates, I would steer well clear.
Any PC owner? So all PCs can play the modern Xbox One games well and/or better than the Xbox One? Games like Forza aren't sub 1080p either so what about racing game fans?
I've stated in my previous posts that Nintendo + PC is pretty much the way to go if you have a very solid gaming PC and want the most game variety but some of these posts are still hilarious/overboard.
"I don't want it so no one else should either!"
Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 are two of the best games this whole gen. Not just my opinion, but critics opinion too. Nothing on XB1 comes close. So I'd rather not miss out on games like these, thanks.
Has Scalebound been announced as cross-platform yet? It looks pretty good.

But (again) that's your opinion. Nothing on PS4 in the racing genre comes close to what the Xbox One provides in the opinions of gamers/critics too which is why some heavy PC gamers still own the console.
I don't see why it's hard to understand that each console can still can have a purpose for someone who owns a PC based on what they want/prefer; Saying "mistake for any PC owner" is a huge stretch.
Isn't next Forza supposed to be released on PC after testing waters with Apex?
No. It, Crackdown, and Gears 4 are the only holdouts at this point.
I'm just guessing, but I'd be surprised if we don't see new SB footage and a Windows 10 announcement at E3.

Did you hear anything about rare replay?Yeah. If a mod needs to verify me for it, they can. But it's true.
