That damn system MS was trying to implement! So anti-consumer!

It is a shame when you consider all the great things that could have happened. Shame they no longer will be. Shows shouting down isn't always the best approach.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

How were used games bad yet this was good for the industry? "Why buy a game when my friend who lives on the other side of the country owns it, I'll just 'borrow' his when he's not playing it." 2 ( up to another 10) people use 1 bought copy of a game, as opposed to 1 guy buys it, trades it in and another guy buys it and plays it... wait same amount of people bought the game.

I thought the idea was an interesting one and a great concept but it's management was a little off.



Hmm, pie.

I agree, it doesn't seem to add up. It seems a bit half-baked but at least it was an interesting idea.

Anybody here remembers this interview days ago? Look at the Sony related question at 3:33.

 

“I don’t think,… I mean we’re really not going to change anything we’ve done with Xbox One. We’re very happy,… did you see the games on stage during our briefing? Did you see the exclusives? I mean we’re really really proud of the system and the games that are coming out. When you look at games like TitanFall,… have you gone through Titanfall yet? Enough said. Conversation over. We’re really happy with what we showed on stage as well as what we’re showing here in the booth so I think it is uh,… it’s safe to say that we’re confident where we’re going. We’re also confident that gamers are going to love our vision of the future and what we’re going to offer for gaming” 


And? At this time they believed they had good ideas with this stuff. And to me it was innovative and good but gamers seem to be conservative when it comes to gaming. I always thought we would be an open-minded community but it seems we are not. I am not saying my opinion is the only one - I just say I liked the idea of family-sharing but the masses didn't so they changed.

You can of course post now several statements of them to make them look, yeah, I don't know what you want them to look like but they changed it now - let's forget the past and say "Welcome aboard, MS. Fight for competition!".


Wait... You thought people would be open-minded...

Do you realise that this community you mention is composed primarily of people with what many call "allegiance"?

Fanboys and "open-minded" are 2 things that hardly ever go hand in hand.

Good for them, but i'm no longer interested. The damage is already done.


You were never interested.

I'm sorry but i just can't trust them. Back when DRM was just mere rumours, i didn't wanted it to ever happen and yet they had to say something that should of never been considered. Good for them that we through our constant uproar stopped it from happening. I just hope no company ever cocks up like that again.  

Both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 use DRM right now! 

You were never going to buy an Xbox One.  Regardless of the rumors.  That's complete BS!

You can think what you want but Xbox one for me went from never to possibly one day if it has more games that i want. Currently, i'm only really interested in Dead Rising 3 but that alone is not £429. 



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

What I posted nearly a month ago:

I haven't read anything in this thread but my fanboy head tells me that it went like this:

EA threatened to not support any console that would allow used games without any sort of compensation. Microsoft and Sony agreed to it and Nintendo didn't so EA said fuck you, 2 out of 3 is good enough for us, Nintendo you're out.

Sony successfully managed to tiptoe around this topic at their conference but Microsoft didn't and the internet blew up about it. 
Sony sees this, gets cold feet because their next console is basically do or die for them (in the video game industry) and bails out.
EA will probably be like "Shit, we can't live with only one console, so yeah, I guess we still bring games to you Sony". 
Microsoft will be like "Hey, wtf, wait a minute, we took this blow for you and now you fuck us over? We'll bail out, too. No used games policy on Xbone either!". 
EA: "Well, ok, we tried to enforce this, can't do anything about it when all of you are pussies and bail out."

MS & Sony: "So what about Nintendo?"

All: "Loooool fuck theeeem"

And this is how I justify boycotting EA in my head. This and the fact that they can't produce good games anymore.

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

It's not fiction if it's true, boiiii. I pretty much predicted the MS backpedal, so give me some credit here. But I understand that you can't do that for reasons, boiiii.
