Is Bill Gates even aware of this shit???

 

If he was aware or even alive he might've fired Don Matrick right away

Preeeettty sure he's still alive.

Its a parody twitter account.

Thank God.

Get rid of the 24 hr online check in. I'd like to go on vacation without worrying that my $500+ console will stop working.

Just read that.

 

 

Read IT.

That's not exactly an official source but are you sure that isn't the Xbox One because it's quite big and bulky

 

Nothing.

"Maybe if the X1 gets a negative response at TGS, Square will change their mind about putting KH3 on X1" -said some KH fan who hates KH3 on Xbox

Lol Rob.

Is that supposed to be me???

That might even be worse. Number of things could go wrong.

lol I wasnt thinking about you when I said that. It was towards the comments I saw on KH's facebook.

If I facepalmed every time Microsoft did something stupid with the Xbox One I wouldn't have a face anymore

 

 

according to Microsoft you don't own any of your Xbox One games, you just license (rent) them, and if you get banned from XBL you can't even play them

offline.

 

Btw, if anyone needs proof the tweet is real: https://twitter.com/XboxSupport1/status/345338828606812160

Oh

 

As for KH fans hating on this,I have to say something:

 

Didn't Square learn anything from the sales of XIII and XIII-2 on Xbox 360???

 

the Ps3 versions of those games sold well but the 360 versions sold like shit(I'm not making that up,just search for sales and you'll see it)

 

If FF couldn't sell that well with both FFXI expansions and XIII series,then I dunno if KH,a series less popular than Final Fantasy,would have a chance on the XBone

There were rumours earlier this week that suggested that Microsoft had begun sending representatives to the Wii U Best Buy events in an effort to sway gamers to get an Xbox One. Now footage has surfaced of the company doing this exact thing at an undisclosed Best Buy store in North America. Seems as though he wasn’t expecting the response he got.

That's just ABSOLutely pathetic.

 

Really,REAAALLY???????

 

Even Sega didn't go out of it's way in the 90's to sway people from buying N64,Ps1 to get Dreamcast or Sega Saturn.

 

 

OMG

 

 

I feel so sorry for Xbox fans from the bottom of my heart, is that really what they get for being loyal to Xbox for Two Generations????

 

Uhhhhh,this isn't video games,this is some corportate assholes trying to play on people's feelings and loyalty to their favorite brand and trick them to get something that will completely f.uck them over.I feel so badly sorry for them.

 

Even if they got rid of all those restrictions I won't by an Xbox One just like how I stopped buying Capcom games even when they got rid of On-Disc DLC.

 

When a publisher outright think that I'm an idiot,then they shouldn't expect any kind of support from me

Well that explains why I saw this on FB a couple of days ago:

 

 

How low can Microsoft go? lol

Now I don't mean this in a fanboy sort of way. It concerns me on what this system (if successful) will do to the gaming as we know it.

 

Does everyone know why the Xbox One has all of the restrictions it has? It is to stop piracy. Microsoft likes to make them sound like features. But they are not. You need to check in every 24 hours because they want to make sure you aren't playing someone elses copy of a game. You can't even let someone borrow your game. You are aloud to give someone a copy of your game and it only be done once. But once you give it to them you can't play that game anymore unless you buy a whole new copy of the game.

 

Here is how I know this.

 

 

 

"Give your games to friends: Xbox One is designed sogame publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to yourfriends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There aretwo requirements: you can only give them to people who have been onyour friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be givenonce."

 

Notice that it says "give" not "lend or borrow". They try to make it sound like a good thing but it isn't.

Also there is this bit.

 

"Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners."

 

See? So once you "give" your friend a game it is basically transferring your license for the game to them. Since you can only "give" a game once there is no way for them to "give" it back to you.

 

 

 

Also there is this part.

 

Trade-in and resell your disc-based games: Today, somegamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash andcredit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to tradein your games at participating retailers.  Microsoft does not charge aplatform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enablingtransfer of these games.

 

So there is trade in a resell. But that means you most likely wont be able to buy your games off of Ebay. You also wouldn't be able to sell a game at a garage sale or something. It takes away the freedom of what you can do with YOUR game.

 

Now take a look at this.

As we move into this new generation of games and entertainment, fromtime to time, Microsoft may change its policies, terms, products andservices to reflect modifications and improvements to our services,feedback from customers and our business partners or changes in ourbusiness priorities and business models or for other reasons.  We mayalso cease to offer certain services or products for similar reasons.

 

This is basically Microsoft saying "Once everyone has bought our system we can do whatever the hell we want". Remember how they were saying there would be fees for someone to play your game on their system and then they took that away? They can actually do that later if they want to.

 

Also has anyone though of what would happen if Microsoft severs go down? Tons of Xbox One users wont ever be able to play their games.

 

 

So why is this bad for gaming? Sure we have Playstation and Nintendo to choose from as well. We don't have to get a Xbox One. Well imagine if game developers make the most money with their games on the Xbox One. Because basically people are going to have to buy their own copies of game from businesses. Like Gamestop, Walmart, etc. So the companies that make the game are going to get the most money that way. For example. Say the PS4 and the Xbox One both sold 1 million systems. Now lets use something like Call of Duty for this example. Many people play that game on Playstation and Xbox. On which system do you think the developer will make more money on? The Xbox One. Because people can't borrow or get them at garage sales or anything like that. That means that the third party developers could start demanding the same from Sony. They would want Sony to start blocking all of this stuff the same way Microsoft is. Soon after that we all will be paying fees and having to check in every 24 hours just to play a game and the freedom of what we do with our own games would be taken away.

 

I'm not saying that would for sure happen but it is a possibility. But I don't want that chance to even be taken. Sony needs to do better than Microsoft this gen. If Sony does better than Microsoft they will have to adapt and change. I think everyone wants to have the freedom to do what they want with their games...I don't think I am alone on that. So yeah. Buy Playstation this gen. If anything....Do it for me so I don't have to go through all the BS...

 

Wow this is long....For me anyway.

I hope Microsoft goes bankrupt.

Teaches them a lesson to mess with gamers like this and expecting us to buy their crappy system.

Babe you raised some good points and I fully agree with you and you know that i'm not a fangirl of any console really . But PS4 really is the better product IMHO.

I totally agree with you Xaon. Sony will be taking my money, definetly not Microsoft.

Yeah good points. The system is not good for gamers. Corporations like Microsoft try to act like the used game market is this horrible thing for them, many publishers use this lie too. They DO lose some money, but not nearly what they try to convince the public. EA was the first to tell the truth, when they announced they were eliminating online passes. They said it was stupid and that they really don't lose that much money from used games.

 

It's just an elaborate scam to make more money. Also, the PS4 is just a better system, right down to the hardware. 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM in the PS4 vs 8GB of DDR3 in the Xbox One. That alone is HUGE. Just for reference, I have 16 GB of the same DDR3 RAM in my MacBook Pro, and I have had that for around a year already. Give it a few years and it's going to be outdated. Thats just one hardware limitation vs. PS4

 

Sony is definitely getting my money (they would have anyway but now there is no debate)

Well used games isn't problem with Steam, nobody really complains about it. And eventually used game won't be problem when you can buy games digitally still that is decade off for people just downloading games. Now Xbox One has made confusing system at the moment, not giving out straight answers. When they explain the benefits of their views of used games and always online, it could help them but they seem to avoid talking about it. As well as always online model  and not letting indies self publish at least to me is annoying. But people can buy whatever system they think is the best, so far Xbox one has announced nice library of games. I wouldn't blame someone for wanting to play them. Sony has been playing it smart on how they are approaching gamers to try win them over, smarter than they have in the past.

Yeah it does bug me that indies can't self publish. It just seems like they are making a lot of bad moves.

Agreed. Just please always be a fangirl of Lea and KH! I don't want you to change!! ;_;
