Im so jealous i decided to buy a ps3 next week. I know its not the same gen, but i cant help but feel disgust even when playing on my 360 now. Poor thing, its not its fault. Its microsoft litering me with adds and lies trying to convince me to give them money for a gold sub.
Yup, must be jealousy.

However, I think it's way too soon to be upset when we know next to nothing about any of it. Most of that is Microsoft's fault, though, for not being clear, and for giving us only half the details. They fudged up. I also want to point out that much of the response to the overreactions have themselves been overreactions. People take a few posts on the internet far too seriously. OMG people are saying bad things about the Xbox One! Imma leave the internet!! Bah. Calm down and find your big-boy pants. Vita and Wii U fans have lived though much worse than a couple days of people voicing negative responses. |
Nice post, i completely agree. (especially the bolded part)
| VGKing said: Sounds like PR speak. There is absolutely a downside to them marketing this as an entertainment box. Unlike some people believe, MIcrosoft doesn't have unlimited funds. Every cent spent in securing some NFL deal or exclusive app, is money that could have been spend securing an exclusive game or even building a new studio. You can't built an everything box without something suffering. |
Just stop.
Microsoft next year will spend more money on acquisitions next year than you'll ever see in your lifetime. It'll invest more into research and design, than you'll ever see in your lifetime. It spends more on a daily basis on games development than you'll ever make in one year. So zip it.
I have been without internet for 3 years in my home. I have happily gamed countless hours in that time no problem.
This post was done on my phone if anyone asks.

The OP also did not copy and paste the entire article, there's a lot more on the site. I thought it was a reasonable read.

There is absolutely no downside to a gaming console widening its berth and bringing in a larger audience.

How is forcing people to buy new games "widening its berth?"
Truthfully, answer this: Have you been without internet for more than 24 hours while trying to play a console game recently?
No, but I would like to play offline for privacy.
Have you lent a game on a disc to a friend that you needed back in a timely fashion?
I may have not needed that game in particular back, but I would like to be able to play my X-Box when I'm home and a friend is borrowing a game from me.
An undetermined system to transfer used games, instead of just swapping out discs; required connection to the internet once a day (we are pretty sure); mandatory Kinect; the internet being central to core features like cloud gaming; and backwards compatibility. These are the big complaints, and looking at them, it’s hard to explain the furor they’ve stirred up.
How is this hard to grasp? Now I have a camera always looking at me when I play, I can no longer buy used games (and this is a serious hinderance because games on XBL are usually double the price of a used game in retail), and I can no longer lend friends my games.
This is a serious step back, how don't you see this? Take Halo for example, it's $35 on XBL, but $15 retail, plus if I buy it over XBL, I don't get a hard copy, which is something I want.
What is with all the hate? Don't read GamrReview Articles. Contact me to ADD games to the Database

Thats cool. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but where is the part about how this all couldn't be done without requiring internet?
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
