Live is expensive, but worth it.

GreenRingOfLife5655d ago (Edited 5655d ago )

Its definitely the best online service around with out a doubt, so good that all competitors aren't even a threat to Xbox Live

If you think theres no mods on Xbox Live then play MW2 or GTA 4

Godmars2905655d ago

Its the only paid online support service on a console.

In other news water is wet...

PSN- Free, PC- Free, XBL- $59+
PSN- Mods, PC- Mods, XBL- No Mods

Am I missing something?

Moonboots5655d ago

Yeah, one of the biggest selling points is ALL the mod's on PSN. Man, there are millio... wait a minute.. Where are all these mod's again?? We are 4 years in and don't tell me the PSN has been inundated with mod's for games. What good is supporting it if not a single developer uses it besides Epic and that still requires a PC.

I do agree with you on the PC side however.

I don't find it worth it for me so I don't pay for Live. If people do there is nothing wrong with that.

According to the title Xbox has "Lise"? Lice?? ewwww

Trroy5655d ago

I totally agree that its worth it... and the competing services are even *more* worth it.

zeddy5655d ago

basically what ur paying xtra for is online shooters like halo and black ops and xbox users dont give a shit since thats all they ever play. having said that xbox live is waaay better of a service than the psn because i have both.

a lot more variety on the ps3 with all the exclusives and i'm suprised aint charged us extra for all the goodness coming our way.

Wow 4 approvals in 2 minutes, there is no way you can read all of that in 2 min and I'm only half way through. Are you fanboys so desprate to approve anything anti-360 that you can spend 5 minutes reading. Jesus.

Montoya5655d ago

Don`t make everything about fanboys, it`s just as weak minded as they can be.

Troll_Police5655d ago

You spend your bubble worrying about fanboys?

Godmars2905655d ago

Hence the reason he only has one bubble...

ActionBastard5655d ago

Live is ridiculously priced for what you get.

capjacksparrow5655d ago

I get the same lag issues in MW2 on both consoles, it's just the ease of use to jump into a game with friends that make it superior. But when all my friends are on PSN, does it matter?

scott1825655d ago

I have crazy lag on MW2, on the PSN. But it's only that game that I have had issues with.

oldjadedgamer5655d ago

For those who didn't read the article, it's not just bashing live. It's actually a good discussion by multiple people. They all made good points on Live, the price increase, PSN, and plus

You forgot to add "thank God" at the end of the headline.

tomr29923190d ago

Indeed... Praise the Lord!

V0MIT_M0NSTER3190d ago

So glad that they won't mess with Banjo anymore.

-Foxtrot3189d ago

So you wouldn't want a proper Banjo-Threeie, Jade Empire or Kameo 2...really?

AZRoboto3189d ago

Or Crimson Skies. That was the shiz

FallenAngel19843190d ago

It's a shame we can't get another Banjo-Kazooie game

-Foxtrot3189d ago

Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.

PhoenixUp3189d ago

Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own

AZRoboto3189d ago

I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?

darthv723189d ago

Blinx needs to return if at least to show up Bubsy.

ninsigma3189d ago

Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!

Paytaa3189d ago

Jet Set Radio Future was only on Xbox. Fantastic game. Even better than Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast in my opinion. Such a good soundtrack too

ninsigma3188d ago

Game was beast and deserves to come back on current gen. And hell yeah plus one for that soundtrack!

Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour (Xbox One) by The Gamerscore Whores

Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
