Titanfall is pretty cool. And crimson dragon as well as dead rising 3 looked good. It's just that there is no way I can buy a system that is so anti consumer. If Microsoft removed DRM, allowed used games, allowed loaning games, and didn't have kinect always watching, then I would really consider buying it over PS4.


A console that requires you to install your game and no longer use the disc needs DRM...That's not anti Consumer...You can sell your physical disc at support retails and it will become aviable as used..You lose the game from your digital library...which is why the DRM is in place...Sharing games with your Gamertag family is much better than loaning some one a disc based game...Kinect can be disabled from th UI...

Sorry..your argument is invalid....

No not really. What if my internet goes out? I live in Idaho, so that happens sometimes. What if my friend doesn't have Xbox live? Also, sharing on Xbox is not as simple as sending it to a gamertag family. They have to be on your friendslist for 30 days. If you are defending these practices, then it's clear you are a fanboy. 

If your internet goes out your games are still playable....Granted only for 24 hours...

Xbox Live is silver and Gold...Assuming it will be the exact same for Xbox One, Gold will only be neccessary for multiplayer and I don't think MS is going to change that since the PSN has become more competetive....No one from Microsoft has said that a 30 day perod is required..you must be confusing this with the "Give a game to a friend" feature which let's you  permanetly give a game away...

Your calling me a fanboy becuase I understand what I read and hear from interviews..Thanks guy...

he said it was in game and a scene which you have to play your way to...He also said something about a time machine malfuction and that why it looks so confusing since the playble characters have to deal with the malfunction..

That's not a gameplay explanation. That's "take my word for it, you're playing a game." How is anyone supposed to be interested in this game if they don't have the faintest idea how to play it? For all we know, you make the movie continue playing by doing crossword puzzles through smartglass. Or maybe it's just a barrage of QTEs a la Asura's Wrath.

What if it goes out around check out time?  I just can't play my games at all beccause of it. It's really not beneficial to anyone? Why is having an extra digital copy really that beneficial at all? Is it enought to justify DRM?
