Monty Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I find it quite surprising that people are actually defending Microsoft's overly greedy actions. Exactly. Sony took a sh*tkicking when they came out with the PS3 based purely on the price of their console. The XBOX ONE may be priced right when it initially comes out, but word will get around quickly about all the additional costs, which will absolutely scare people off. And let's not forget they are completely alienating everyone outside the US. Not a great move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thank-you, kind sir. +1 to you as well. I don't think people are complaining about the game (I'm not at least). It's the fact that Microsoft has gone in the way of EA and is no longer in the business for gamers. All they want to do is make a quick buck by sucking every single penny out of their consumers pockets. Also, don't pull that "lol it's business, of course they want to make money" crap. Look at Nintendo. They're (mostly) doing it for the gamers. No DLC attached to their games, cheap console, and no subscription fees (probably a lot more... Maybe ave can provide more info ). I find it quite surprising that people are actually defending Microsoft's overly greedy actions. Offscreen play is the greatest thing ever invented. I didn't think i'd care about it until i had it, now I don't want to live in a world where it isn't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft is also alienating the folks living in rural areas were getting an internet connection is nearly impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Can we all just agree that the One is going to be inferior to the Atari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 You should do this: http://imgur.com/a/1Qbl6 That's pretty cool, but I'm not into portable gaming systems (I know it's not just a portable one) but that's because they are almost useless to someone who gets car sick if I do anything (other than listen to music, and talk). Still very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyBoy44 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Can we all just agree that the One is going to be inferior to the Atari? For me it isn't about superior/inferior, it's about which one offers me what I'm looking for. Xbox decided I had to pay to use most of their service. Ps3 wasn't pushing buy this if you want to play mentality. Xbox attempted the hd experiment and it failed, only to later decide not to support Blu ray. I am a playstation plus subscriber bit that was a choice. Also for something like 50 or 60$ a year I get free crap regularly. That's exactly what I was looking for. A system that respected my choice to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC master race representin' instead you'll pay the price of a new console every year or so just to keep up and be able to play games on a PC... smart.

I bought my PC 5 years ago. Only upgrade I've ever done was my graphics card, and that was only because it was an insane sale. I can still run the newest games on the highest settings (with the exception of Crysis 3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 maybe every few years or so you'd upgrade your graphics card. i have an older geforce 400 series and it's served me well for 3 years, but might upgrade at the end of the year to the more newer ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Obviously you don't know much about computers, eh? clearly not... how do i go to someplace else on this magical box of beeps and boops? if PC gaming has changed since the 90's, sue me, but that's how it was, and i'd rather play on my TV anyway. i don't want/need a desktop at this point in my life, espescially not just for games.

Depending on what you buy, you should only need to upgrade your computer like every 4-5 years depending. I just bought one this last fall for around 1400 and it should last until 2015ish, maybe a little yes. I guess people like Xbox's and such because its more casual and you can watch DVD's on it, watch netflix etc... but I'd argue that PC are still the best mediums for gaming.

I know what you mean. There was a time where I really enjoyed PC games (late 90s through 2003). At which point, I was no longer living in dorm and was now married. And with tvs being where they are today, I barely use my computer at home now. My wife and I have already decided that the next time we decide to get a new "computer," we're just going to buy an ipad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armada Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 my wife is the nurse, not I. the past is the future now? Sounds like armada is a MS ManBoy No, I have better things to do in my life than argue over a system or worry about what will and will not be on a system. Unlike you Mr.Wii fanboy.

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 are you suggesting that all the games from the new consol will suck? Lol... No I'm suggesting that when you make a game, make it playable and enjoyable. Because some titles are beautiful to look at, but the gameplay sucks.
