I want to buy my husband a new game as an anniversary present. He's got an xbox 1. Any ideas what game I should get him? My budget is around $100.00. He's already played and enjoyed Fallout 4, The Witcher 3, Tomb Raider, Assains Creed Syndicate.... Are there any games solely for the new xbox, that anyone can recommend? Thanks.
There's a shitload of choice, especially if you don't just focus on games that are xbox 1 exclusive (why does that matter?). With your budget I think you can buy pretty much any game for him! Frankly I don't know where to start, although I am into the same kind of games. Perhaps the new Farcry called Primal? Check a vid to see if you think it's something for him!
He only has an xbox 1 though. Are games transferable from consul to consul? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but I know nothing about video games (with the exception of Mario Kart 64)
When you said "Are there any games solely for the new xbox", I believe Asmo thought you were communicating you only wanted to buy xbox exclusive games. If you were limiting your options to exclusive games only, then your choices would be very slim. Most games, including the ones your husband already has are multi-platform. The Tomb Raider game your husband has, is that "Rise of the Tomb Raider", or just plain old "Tomb Raider"? If it's just "Tomb Raider", then definitely buy him "Rise of the Tomb Raider". It seems your husband enjoys open world games judging by the games he has. I would recommend Metal Gear Solid 5, and Far Cry 4 as well.
Spot on endotherm :-D No if you have a PS4 game you can not play it on an Xbox.. But the games you mentioned come in several versions: for pc, playstation, xbox etc. And as Audrey explained I thought when you said solely you ment you were looking for games that were made only and exclusively for xbox (like for example Halo). But it's all clear now Anyway, I second all her recommendations as well. If your bf has only played one of the Tomb raider games for Xbox1 he surely will enjoy the other one too. I would say same with Assassins creed: if he liked Syndicate he will probably like Unity too. Unity is also very cheap already because it has a lot of bugs on the disc. No worry though, apparently most of them get fixed after (free and automatic) updating.. If he likes the same things in open world games as me he would probably like Metal gear solid 5 too but he has to like stealth gameplay at least a little for that one. Did he had an older console before the xbox one? If not, I recommend a game like Assassins creed: Black flag as well! It's a bit older but for people who enjoy this series it is not to be missed! And it doesn't look that old at all on xbox one Do you know if he likes a game like GTA5? If not, i can save myself some time
personally, i don't like getting video games as gifts unless i've specifically requested them. my taste in video games is pretty specific, and games these days are really in-depth, so any current game you want to actually get into is a pretty significant time investment. so, if i'm given a game that i'm not already interested in, it feels more like an obligation than a pleasant surprise. i do have to admit, probably my favorite game ever (morrowind) was originally such a gift. so sometimes it does work out. plus, i think this might be one of those subjects where i'm just weird and no one else feels the same way. also, wasn't the anniversary in question a couple days ago?
^ Yeah I can relate but that's why she's giving some directions. Even though I'm the same, with movies and books as well this request doesn't always have to be honored First of all we're not spoiled little kids, second, we would only get gift cards or money and third sometimes it's the idea and suprise that counts! Now if Uncharted wasn't a Playstation exclusive I would surely recommend that one (every tomb raider fan must dig it). But it's not on xbox so that's not heplful... Sorry Anyway, I would pick one of the fine games already mentioned! Just be sure if it's AC or Tomb raider it's not a game he already has Even if Metal Gear Solid 5 would not be entirely his thing I am sure he would enjoy the open world for hours. If you go with this one go with the one called The phantom pain. There's also one called Ground zeroes or something, but Phantom pain seems more appealing.
FarCry! I played farcry 4 and really liked it, but it is old now and there is a new one in the series; FarCry Primal! FarCry Primal takes place in prehistory!
Yeps Farcry 4 is an entertaining open world game and I have not played any Farcry Primal but that seems promising. Love the setting at least. So Ash you could suprise him some time later with one of these! :-D Well you just had to buy it without telling him Seems an above average game adaptation of a movie! I would still have to see the movie first though (even the original classic with Mel Gibson)
I thought this was going to be about the good xbox 1, the ORIGINAL XBOX 1... That's the console I will always think of when I hear "Xbox 1" Fuck the XBONE! This generation is a bag of dicks!
^ It's not like the original xbox is from the glorious eighties, undie! I disagree, this generation of consoles is pretty fun. But I have to admit I switched from xbox to playstation for the first time (after owning and enjoying the original xbox and the xbox360) I think when people state the current next gen consoles are disappointing they expected too much.
