before they launch expect Microsoft to make a name change to their console...maybe Play_Station_Four.0
lol
Angry Joe did a sublime interview video with major nelson just a few days ago in which the major attempted to treat Joe like a dumb numpty.
The video exposed the pure arrogance and contempt Microsoft were displaying to their most loyal supporters.
Now after Sony gave Microsoft the most public of beatings and they saw their potential sales decimated they do a 180 and it appears the supporters are haling them as amazing for listen to their customers..
...
You won't be sharing any games with anyone the day Microsoft decide to stop supporting the servers for xbox one and it becomes a blu ray & tv remote combo.
That could be in a few years when they launch it's successor or much quicker when it totally fails..
I am now expecting the stock response that they will flick a master switch to turn off all their restrictions at that point...fools and their money can gamble on that one
head over to xbox forums then because the hardcore xbox fans are not exactly what you would call happy right now!
looks like we have 2 Microsoft shills in full effect.
yes absolutely nothing wrong with how the xbox one is aimed to remove gamer rights and screw every penny it can from the masses...nothing wrong at all..
good god I have gamed since Atari VCS days and this console launch is the saddest I have ever seen...sad because Microsoft really do appear to want to royally screw each and every customer.
True or when the entire network is hacked psn style closing it down for god knows how long.
Microsoft have basically told the entire hacker world come and get me.
Come live in Georgia where the severe storms often knock out Comcast, which in my experience can often take days to be sorted.
Before you say switch isp well they are no better.
Don't get me wrong my ps3 as been connected for years but these downtimes in internet do not effect my hobby to often due to the fact I can play OFFLINE for ever if necessary!..same won,t be true for the xbox one in my area.
The 24h check in is a bloody joke imo, buy into this bull and you will be a slave to the servers for ALL of the games you buy disk or download.
Wait for a few years when they decide to pull the plug on those servers to make way for a new system and you are left with a cable box and blu ray player...more worrying is microsoft are now sure to be the no 1 target of every hacker who wants to prove a point and bring their entire network down.
How the xbox fanboys mocked pl...
If gamers unite and fight this bull then guess what they will have no one to sell the damn games to...
grow some balls people, consumer is king..
No game will be that good that we should consider giving our consumer rights up for it
Damn you consumers! Damn you for daring to believe you actually have any rights over an item you dropped $60 on new....
What next car makers decide no more used car sales, how about we arrest you for holding a garage sale....
Then there will be games I won't be buying then, no matter how good they look.
The 24 hour check in is friggin outrageous, there are many reasons you may not be able to have internet for extended periods...meaning you can't use products you bought...
This is the type of bull that could force a crash of the entire industry..
Gamers across the board should boycott this hunk of junk for the good of the hobby we all share!
Xbox One only the most extreme of fanboys need apply along with the uniformed.
Let me sell you an expensive item and games at $60 a pop with additional online fees, then in several years I may decide to turn off that server you must connect to and Hey Presto I screwed your sorry a@@.
In the meantime I will update my terms and conditions to take away any control of the products you thought you owned...Kind Regards Microsoft
On 2nd thoughts your game collection maybe rendered useless much sooner, imagine your financial circumstances change, a lay off for example.
You may need to remove the internet as a monthly outgoing.
That game collection = dead in the water.
Or you move and your new provider as a 2 week installation schedule....no games here, but you watch a movie...pmsl
How about in a few years a new successor to the xbox one is launched so Microsoft decide to turn off those 300,000 servers and focus on their new machine only.
It won't matter how good your internet is you will not be able to access ANY of the games you purchased.
Support this bull and you may as well burn your cash on a bonfire...bloody ridiculous
WOW that's it then xbox one for me then!
Oh wait though
1. I cut cable off 3 years ago
2.I don't want a console that in a few years will be unplayable if MS decide it's time to shut the servers off
xbox one still nothing to see for me then
I must say I have been very amused this week watching MS diehards defend the TV box sorry I mean Xbox one.
I seem to remember the mart and power of green going on and on about the 360 being for gamers and the PS3 is only bought by people who watch movies....even though blu ray was obviously going to fail..
The irony of this week as MS appears to ditch gamers in favour of tv addicts...lol
I still don't get it though to get the full use I m...
1.As I will be able to play the type of games I like on the PS4 such as Killzone, Infamous...and I'm sure Uncharted, GOW etc then I don't give a rats a##e about the PC.
2. My PS3 will be available for my old games, Oh and by the way mine does play PS2 games but guess what they work better on my PS2.
3. I will buy a PS4 safe in the knowledge it will still be compatiable with all the games that launch for it years after the 1st system is sold.
...
Yes it will launch along with Metal Gear Solid 4....at least according to my local Gamestop
I was told PS3 sucked because I can't talk to people who are not even playing the same game as me...Sony have no idea
Now the PS4 allows communication it virtually every way possible..Sony sucks after all who wants all these social features...
Probably Sony listened to moans and whales of the cross chat fanboys who apparently now want to sit in complete isolation with absolutely no interaction with the world
Suck to be Sony I guess
Faulty?
Maybe when the closed beta launched but I started playing last week, must of logged 8-9 hours play and at most failed to connect 3 times. I simply attempted a reconnect and low and behold straight back to action.
This by the way is a Beta and by opening it up to more people it allows GG to test the server loads to make the necessary final tweeks....
personally as a Killzone veteran I was well impressed how well this plays, especially ...
