soo, nobody cares about this new! OK.


It's because no one here actually cares.... We all obviously have an internet connection otherwise we wouldn't be here! It was just a way to bash the X1. Hell, the PS3 had a lot more DRM than the 360 ever did or will do and yet, no threads about that.

 

 

Go figure.


Wow... i have no clue what made you think this post would make any kind of sense. Good job at sinking to a new low. Still waiting on that apology


You didn't even reply to my post in that thread. Instead you quote me in this one? Childish. We got on pretty well until lately. This console war must be getting to you.

You do realise if they didn't "bash the X1" their policies would never have been reversed right?


I do. I was for them though. At least we will still get to share DLC I suppose... I understand it isn't for everyone but the rabid pack mentality just annoys me. I seriously doubt most of the people who complained about it didn't intend to get an Xbox One in the first place. It's my opinion of course but... I'll probably get quoted and argued with and told I'm "wrong" anyway.

I can't believe you're still trying to show everyone that X1 was all good..


Good point. I'll bold the part where I typed that so everyone else can read up on my thoughts too.

I seem to remember a Sony exec giving an interview first claiming that these bullshit "offline passes" won't be allowed on PS4, then later admitted that 3rd party publishers can actually do whatever they want. But, however, when stacked up against 1st party games not having any sort of used game DRM, the publishers would follow suit. Well so much for that idea I guess.


Sony said that they themselves were ditching online passes.  They never said would be banning third parties from doing it.

Actually he did say they were not allowing it. But then said they can actually do whatever they want. It's right there in the quote. But that is irrelevant. I was referring to the speal about how 3rd party companies wouldn't dare put the passes in when Sony games don't have them. Obviously his line of thinking there was incorrect.

At the E3 interview between Tretton and Keighley Tretton specifically said it's up to 3rd parties what they want to do. Let the market decide on online pass. If Ubi games with online pass for SP elements (offline pass) sell badly, and games that don't have offline pass sell better then Ubi will drop it. But if they can get away with offline pass then they would be stupid to not use it.

Sony's motivations are different and they get PS+ as their "online/offline" pass revenue stream. But I'm certain if Sony kept MP content free on PSN they would have kept online pass.

I am not too animated about offline pass as long as it's possible to finish the SP game with a satifying experience without having to fork out for the offline pass, if you happen to buy used. Ever since online pass became a thing I've always said I was mostly OK with it for being able to play MP. Gimping the SP experience is heading into potentially objectionable territory, but it depends on the extent of the gimp. Things like playable secondary characters as in Catwoman I see as bonus matrerial and not story essential so I don't mind about that stuff too much.

Dosen´t some of AC4 items and outfits could be only obtained when the console is connected to the internet?
