Forums - Microsoft Discussion - why all the negative comments on the xbox one?

Fees, paywalls, tv, sports, forced kinect, forced online, 'purposedly not cutting-edge graphics'.

As a gamer none of the above excites me and all of them were in the X1 conference.

The only positives goes to '15 exclusives in 2014" (let's hope less than half is Kinect based), also the controller looked nice.

MSFT isn't keeping you from playing the game.  You are allowed to do with the game as you wish.  It is just like steam with the verification on the install.  However you can not resell games on steam or PC at all.  This allows you to resell your games.  So in other words it is like Steam but with a little more options.  The whole topic has been blown out of proportion as this is nothing new.  Just for consoles.  Sony has even said they are letting publisher/developers do the same thing.  This generation will change the way console gaming is forever no doubt about it.  But im sure both MSFT and Sony will offer great games that gives people a reason to buy these consoles FOR GAMERS.



Of course MS is not deliberately keeping me from playing the game, that would be a terrible business/PR decision. It does not change that I am dependent on MS daily to play the game. I am allowed to be annoyed by things on principle. I don't think that outside of my account being hacked or a few other specific situations MS would turn my video game collection into a paperweight, but never-the-less it urks me that they could. Also I don't feel I have true ownership of the games.

Lol, just look at the sig of the majority of these bad comment posts :)
It says everything. Myself and my entourage who is already like the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live have nothing to complain about...
The only thing that may bother few of us (not myself as I do not buy used game) is the used game thing but again it will be the same with the PS4...


I'm sorry, but seriously, how do you defend what MS is currently doing? I will be keeping my PS3 if Sony goes that way too. 

It is not MS who is doing that... It is game industry in general...
And I like the fact that I can install the game and to do not require any disk to play.

For the rest; I do not care and if I want to buy a used game; what is the problem with buying it from the Sony/MS store instead of going to EBGames?
Trading games to friends... Well okay; we will have to deal with it... Now this is not bothering me like it is the end of world, not like few of you out there.

And good luck with that statement :) Not going with PS4/XboxOne just because of that. Because I highly doubt publishers will not do the same with the PS4 as they are losing a lot of money because of that (or opportunities if you prefer).

I won't purchase any of them if they do so. Games are already $60 which is insane, I like buying used games. I don't want to have a camera listening and watching me all the times, I don't want to talk to my devices, that's what people are for. Why does MS require me to have Kinect, why? 

Why does MS think I don't have a Roku, Apple TV, gOOGLE tv, Smart Tv , which already offer all these Tv stuff and cheaper.

That´s a naive question.It´s not really about the way MS unveiled the system but it´s about all the crap that popped up afterwards.

Xbox Live talks all over again...

This bloked used game thing is already present in Steam and other system... And it was innevitable to come to the console world at some point. Microsoft and Sony (yes... the joke about "publisher's choice" is just a good marketing wording) are going for it and nothing will stop that.

"Why does MS require me to have Kinect?"... What kind of question is that? I mean because they are designed a system arround it... Why are you making a big deal out of it... Why are you even complaining about it? If you do not like it or if you find their overall offering bad... Just don't buy it... But stop complaining about it. Even with my french accent I will talk to my Xbox day one and this stupid device will not understand me at all; but it will be fun!

Like I said before (and few others); I know this is internet; but I do not understand why the people who are the most complaining and making bad comments about the Xbox One are the ones favoring Sony... I mean you are already sided so what is the point of this?

Can someone point out to me the positives?

Seriously.

I dont think Ive seen people actually talking about the positives.

Someone. Anyone.

Tell me what you like about the Xbox One.



                            

Because the reveal sucked dicks. It's as simple as that.

There were negative comments before it even came out -- this does not surprise me, especially from this site. #nothingnew :) I still love the site!



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"
