Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Azure Issues are the Tip of the Iceberg for Xbox One

While I don't think this is a MS only issue, there is a notable point here.

Oh, and may god have mercy on your soul for posting this. Good luck my friend.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

It's called progression, and progression comes with it's fair share of bumps in the road.

And besides, a good 95% of games still work perfectly fine in singleplayer / local coop when the console is offline.
Lastly, there are no always online consoles this generation, the WiiU isnTt, the PS4 isn't, and the Xbox One isn't, so the complexity of servers, isp, routers and so forth is a non issue and just seems like its being dragged out for no real reason at all, most people simply plug in their console, to their tv, and play it with a controller, online functionality for them is simply a case of connecting the network cable or putting in their wifi details, if theres an internet issue, be it the isp or the gaming network, theres no analog troubleshooting about it at all, its simply "it works" or "it doesnt work".

I have six games downloaded on my Xbox One hard drive, and now have to make life decisions for which ones stay and which ones get the boot when a new game is released.

Lol azure as an up time of 99,9% on almost every service none under 95% up time and all of them with some of the best QoS around... So I hardly would call that an iceberg more like a pebble or a speck...

Azure is an amazing service from Microsoft, it going down once in a blue moon is no real issue.

Seriously, Spurge. Just buy a PS4 or Xbox One. You'll be happier.

Ppl are addicted to online gaming and when there is no service they don't know what to do. I agree with you there is singleplayer game to enjoy and how about the multi screen feature so you can play with friends in the same living room.

Always online is the future, no one signed up for this is correct, its all optional. If you don't like it then don't buy the system. I wish the XB1 was always online with disc free games, but because of the little kids complaining about DRM, it ruined it for everyone.

People complain about always online, yet its funny that the greatest next gen selling game is Destiny which is an always online game. My mind is blown.
