So Microsoft is on a roll with canceling exclusives to it system. While I wasnt really all that sad at seeing Fable Legends go Im pretty down about Scalebound. Scalebound was one of the exclusives that had me hooked at first glance. I love Dragons, if you do something with dragons I will most likely give it a shot. Apparently Scalebound went through developmental hell and since it missed milestones they decided to cancel it instead of sinking more into it. It was one of the very few exclusives for Xbox that I was excited for this year. Now its gone! 

Well Ill mourn its loss today and move on :(

yeah, pretty pathetic.  Sony has all these awesome exclusives and Xbox has almost none.  There's no real point to get an Xbox, to me anyway, and I usually get all consoles eventually.

I have both already because some of the previously released exclusives were enought for me to jump on board. However if I was a future buyer Scalebound cancellation would probably effect my choice to be honest. The PS4 list is insanely huge for this year. I mean huge, so there not doing so hot and this cancellation could really hurt them.

We will see if the scorpio is cool or worth it.

Yeah I don't have very many reasons to get an Xbox One.  Which is a shame since I loved the 360.

They certainly arent doing so hot this Gen, I just hope the rest of there exclusives arent totally canned either. The PS3 got most of my attention last Gen but the 360 did have some good games.

I really wish there were more dragon games. The one that launched with the PS3 had me excited until the reviews came in. 

As for XBO, Cuphead and Forza Horizon 3 are games I'd like to try, but I can't really think of anything else competing with my PS4 exclusives list. Oh and Sunset Overdrive since I met the PR team for it as they were working on it. Must be others, just can't think of them.

I liked that game to a degree, it had some pretty bad issues though. 

Cuphead looks good, Ive been interested in it but racing games arent my cup of tea. I havent played a racing game in a long time now. Sunset Overdrive, is a lot of fun. I have it and its really good. Its on the wacky side but good.

I was super excited for Lair. I still am, really, but I know it doesn't play well. I want to believe!

Scalebound was the only Xbox One exclusive I was interested in. Everything I want is on PS4 or Nintendo. A lot of what I want is only on PS4 or Nintendo. No point in getting Xbox now.

They probably lost several xbox sells because of that unless they announce something by E3 to replace it. If they really plan to release the next xbox one this year there gonna have to improve the release line up or they are gonna fall flat.

I've always wanted to play the Fable games, especially the first one.

The main series is worth playing. My favorite is fable 2 and while its considered the least popular i did like fable 3. I didnt play the first one so i cant really say much about it.

That sucks about Fable. It seemed like one of those games that would be on every XBox console.

I think people wanted a main series hero line game. When they announced it was a multiplayer title i think that pretty much did it in.

I still don't understand the burial of the Fable series. It should be the Zelda for Xbox. Why didn't they give it to a good dev and make a RPG? That multiplayer nonsense was just crazy stupid. 

Too bad about Scalebound. I liked the trailers.

I dont either, Microsoft wouldnt sell the rights to the series with the studio when they tried to sell it. They must have plans for it.

I liked scalebound and was really excited for it. This freaking sucks!

I was considering playing the whole Fable series on Xbox One like I'm doing with Borderlands but Fable 1 (or Fable Anniversay) isn't backwards compatible yet. WHY!?

To bad about Scalebound. I din't think a Platinum Games game could be cancelled like that but I hear it was too ambitious and was taking too long to complete.
