D*mn You Microsoft

Gamer Limit writes "Out of this generation of consoles we constantly give praise to the Xbox. It has the best online service, the best line up of games, the best interface. For the most part I agreed with this statement up just until I was given the task of setting up a brand new Premium Xbox 360 console along with a Gold Xbox Live membership. It was after finishing this task the only thought running through my head was "D*mn You Microsoft.""

No reason to approve this, it's basically a blog post of nothing but opinion. However, I do agree that the 360 can bring about many inconveniences.

Fullish6245d ago

True, but the majority of high heat articles are opinion based.

NewZealander6245d ago

yes but this is so far from being "high heat" thats its just not funny

NewZealander6245d ago

yet people are approving it? oh how sad people dont have better things to do with their day :p

Fullish6245d ago

How sad you have to report it 3 times?

FantasyStar6245d ago (Edited 6245d ago )

What's sad is that you submitted this trash. Slow news day?

Masta_fro6245d ago (Edited 6245d ago )

i knew this article was a big fat "fail" when i read that "has the best line up" line.

What line up is he talking about?
halo wars?
viva pinata 3000?

even if you take into account Halo osdt and alan wake...thats still no mach for:
Killzone 2
Uncharted 2
GT5
God of War 3
Resistance 3
Infamous
LA Noire
Team ICO Game
David Jaffe game
Blu-Ray
Free growing PSN
i could go on you know...

And it is his opinion and i respect that, but it doesn't mean i agree with him.

Anyways, fortunately my xbox experience has been a good one so far and i think this guy is just exaggerating.

You see, i love my piece of sh!t xbox console...its strange really, like that ps2 feeling you had when you just bought a new game and BAM! disc read error. You would curse the heck out of the ps2, but still you'd fix it just so you could play that new game (Black), or that old one you couldn't put down (MGS2)...

Unfortunately (for Microsoft), one would be an idiot to deny the build quality of its competitor's console ---> the ps3.

And for this reason i find myself pondering the fact that now may be the best time to sell my xbox, while it still has legs...and might i add -> value.

dachiefsman6245d ago

Do you some you people have a notepad out so you can copy and paste the games coming out for *insert console*?

nevermind your probably just working on your typing skills. Keep up the good work and thanks for reminding the community for the bijillionth time.

Rhoic6245d ago

Now get rid of:

-blu ray (Not exactly a game)
-L.A. Noire (Not exclusive)
-Resistance 3 (I don't want to give away spoilers)
-The PSN thingy (Not a game)
-David Jaffe Game (Never heard any announcements about that)

The 360 has just as good of a Line-up as ever..

-Star Ocean 4
-Mass Effect 2
-Alan Wake
-Halo Wars
-Halo 3: ODST (Yes, it is a full game)
-GTA IV: The Lost & Damned (Yes, it is pretty much a full game)
-Huxley
-Velvet Assassin
-Splinter Cell 5
-APB
etc.

"I was very tempted to flame you for saying negative about the big M, although your point is taken.
They DO have the best online service, it’s just a bit annoying that so much effort is required to get online.
But maybe that’s why it is the best, since it has such restrictions to be able to get on."

thegood336244d ago

Can someone please point me in the direction of a video game site that actually posts "news", and not 12 year old's blogs... Thanks

kyleg6244d ago

then don't read it and complain. get out

IdleLeeSiuLung6244d ago

This guys rant is basically about the lack of Wifi (and incorrect information).... If he thinks the Wii is better, then get a Wii. For me, my Wii is collecting dust still waiting for that awesome game to come.

OMG what a weak and pathetic article or should i say blog, im almost embarrassed for the person that submitted it

GiantEnemyLobster6245d ago (Edited 6245d ago )

Stopped reading there. Probably nothing more than a bitter psTARD.

Kleptic6245d ago

^^agreed...its on the same level of illogical ranting that makes up the foundation of every single post you have ever made...

and just to clarify...

'for this entire generation we have done nothing but praised the Xbox'...true...no one could ever argue against that...33% of the things could grenade right in front of you, and you guys wouldn't even blink an eye...

'it has the best online service'...arguably..but you pay for it...and you don't get 1/100th of the high speed dedicated servers that Sony gives you for free...

'it has the best lineup of games'...easily debatable in either direction...both systems have unstoppable games...depends on your gaming tastes...

'it has the best interface'...completely wrong...the award winning xmb toasts both the childish dashboard...and the NXE that appears to have come from a one night stand between Vista and Nintendo...spend any amount of time with either interface...and you are an idiot if you think the easily customizable xmb isn't the most elegant and easy to use interface ever put into a console...you have to remember that consoles do more than just load games now...and the xmb lets you unleash tons of multimedia features with ease...

Gue16244d ago (Edited 6244d ago )

Well, we PS3 owners have to deal with this kind of articles in a daily basis. There are like 4 to 6 articles of this kind everyday. Sometimes the entire front page is filled with sh1t like this...

Most of the time are rants from blogs. It's like, "who cares about you anyway?" you're nobody, no expert, you have no credentials but it gets approved anyway. -Then the bots make a party in the open zone.

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_118d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto118d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay118d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730118d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty118d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602118d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty118d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981118d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts118d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno118d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE118d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai118d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex118d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover118d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator118d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia118d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii780d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies780d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
