I love armchair engineers....so many of them. This plan was put into motion well before the Xbox One even was announced. It has nothing to do with Sony whatsoever and more to do with Microsoft's vision of a unified ecosystem. Of course that screws with those individuals trying to keep score during this imaginary war so they lash out in protest. Maybe one day you people will wake up and catch up with the rest of the real world.
The density on this site is astounding. With Microsoft's current model they don't give a flying rats ass what you use. The major portion of the profits comes from the software and services not the hardware. They don't care if you use a PC (with their OS), XBox One, Xbox Slim, or Scorpio for that matter. All they want to do is provide enough choices for someone to buy the hardware to play their software. It's the fan girls that are getting their panties in a bunch about har...
It's simple....if you stumble across something that doesn't seem right in the game you report it on their forums. If you have proof that you told them about it then you at least have a leg to stand on. It's not very hard to see in the logs if someone is abusing the system.
I put the Division in the rear view mirror. I grew tired of them catering to the asshats. Darkzone is a joke.
"Power isn’t Everything"
Pretty much lost it when I read that. lol
Fanboy waffles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Rumors are just that....rumors. Until we see something substantial there is nothing. But to still throw that out there after all the BS that was slung up until now about perceived power gaps. Wow.
---Well the fact the power has always been the Sony rallying cry and now that there is a possibility that ...
This is why they are pushing the use of DirectX 12 on their console. They upgrade the hardware, they upgrade DirectX 12, and then the developers have access. The only thing they would need to adjust code for would be extra features added to the newer version.
You mean you just didn't buy a new one like many others claim? /s
I had mine dump on me twice. Sent it back twice no charge, no shipping charge. Fixed and still running.
Where as my PS2 that took a dump because of the DVD drive I had to buy another because Sony chose to pretend like there wasn't a problem.
"PlayStation fanboys are so bad breath?"
Talk a lot of $hit and I guess that would be true too.
No...we are talking about Sir Lirik here. He is a PRO, so his opinion is more valid than anyone else's. /s
Funny stuff.
There is no shortage of hypocrisy everywhere on this site. I love how Metacritic is proclaimed gospel truth when it is based solely off of opinion. What they need to do is remove scores all together. Just review the game and explain your experience like some sites already do. Although I recognize that won't go over well with the trolls and knuckledraggers. It's just so hard to read. It's so much easier to look at a number and either beat your chest or throw a stone.
I find it amusing how many times people have complained about gaming journalism only to change their tune when it aligns up with their agendas. This site is always good for a laugh. I for one will play it myself before passing judgement.
Let the bean counters go count beans. Personally I will be playing the game and enjoying it. I'll get to try both console and PC with one single purchase.
Hacking: To gain access to (a computer file or network) illegally or without authorization.
NO....DDOS is not hacking. Don't give them any more credit than they deserve.
If you successfully cut all the power lines that lead to a power station do you claim that you successfully hacked into said station security? Uh NO. Does it cause a disruption...yes.
So....did you buy Gran Turismo Prologue when it came out? Did anyone else who is in here bitching buy it? Tell me how it's just the Xbox fans again....
Unless companies can make VR successful outside the gaming market it will never be mainstream.
I guess the bigger question you should ask is why does this bother you and why should you care?
Crackdown is going to be the test for cloud compute. If it works as advertised with minimal issues then expect a new Mech Assault announcement not too far down the road.
Looks like I will be cashing in some of those Xmas gift cards on an external hard drive.
"It seems to me like anyone related to Xbox/MS lacks common sense and logic."
Now there is some irony for you.
Very Ori like....which isn't a bad thing.
