Would you buy a game console that required an ''Always-On'' Internet connection?

 

Probably not =S

2nd vote!

 

With that kind of feature? I rather have a worst game in the world than to have internet-on console.

 

PS4 FTW.

No. It's not everyone that have internet.

No. That's so stupid anyways.

Not me >_>

It's not fair that you need to use an internet to play single-player games. If you want to be alone, why must you be forced to use something designed to socialize?!

What if Godzilla knocks out my internet, what am I gonna do then?! 

no because when I'm at college it always takes me on and off of internet so that will suck so no I will not buy a console like that regardless of what games are on it or not I'm happy with my PS3 right now. Plus I wanna hear more about the next gen consoles before I decide if I want them or not (that and the money as well...)

Probably not. 

 

I was gonna buy Sim City for the PC but it requires all internet access which is a bit iffy for me since my parents are very anxious and turns off the internet periodically so I can't get on. So I won't be able to enjoy Sim City that much even though it's a full on Single Player Game. Would of preferred online access so you can go look at other cities but I can see why they wanted an always on internet connection to prevent pirating.

Aghh, I mean...

 

If Nintendo made a new console with always-on internet connection, and they had all their best exclusives coming out.... I don't know. 

 

The games are what decide whether I would and/or when I would get a console. That's why I got a 3DS way past release and am currently waiting to buy a Wii U when more games come out as well, WW HD in particular.

No. The central (generally unspoken) purposes of an always-on system is to prevent piracy or to eliminate used game sales. Piracy only exists in a fraction of the console gaming market, and used game sales are already limited by the online-passes and Day 1 DLCs out there. Nothing is gained through having an always-on console that couldn't be achieved through an "occasionally-on" console other than you being prevented from playing your game how you'd like.

Unless it had some really good games, no.

Our internet is always on, but I would only get it if it was cheap.

No.

Every console up until now has proven to be greatly successful without that feature

I hadn't been able to do online gaming until pretty recently

and gaming is still great without online

It isn't necessarily a deal breaker but I'm not buying a system specifically for this feature. I mean, If games, like Destiny for example, can pull off this type of feature in gameplay, then good. Great. I would love to see more games like that. But to not have the option to play single player games without a necessary internet connection is a really stupid move. I have little hope for this next generation of consoles, Wii U included.

I would only buy such console if their will be a kh game on it 

No because the internet I have now isn't always on, so there would be no way for me to have it.

Nah, I wouldn't.. Having played Batman Arkham City on pc I now hate services which force you to play online. I can accept it with pc gaming to an extent but a console that stops you from playing without internet would be bad. Only KH3 would persuade me to change my mind... even then, the console would need to be cheap.

...no ;;

No. Offline has to be a backup when no internet is available.

Nope, i sometimes can afford internet.

Nope. Xboxes are shit. 

Nope. Xboxes are shit.

Never

anyone who said no has to realize that thats what gaming is ging to be like in 5-30 years.

I think that's a stupid idea. I hope they don't do that for the new consoles.
