Fees for used games, required to be online to authorize a game on start up with no equivalent of steam's offline mode, kinect required, games I don't care about, etc.

Well, that's money saved.
 
[quote name='Krymner']I would think they would go with a multi-tiered price, like $40-50 for new releases, and cheaper for games that have been around for awhile. Still, its gonna be confusing for some folks.

Buying a game used, then having to buy it again when you try to install? You know these dumb bitches out there are gonna go to Gamestop, see a used Halo 5 disc for $10 thinking they got a great deal, then get it home and realize they gotta pay MS $40 to be able to play. Its gonna create problems for uninformed idiots, Microsoft's favorite type of customers.

"Xbox, Internet Explorer!" Lolololololroflolol[/QUOTE]
I think GS will either not carry One games or they'll include the pass. Don't think they'll want their customers coming back to complain.

[quote name='ihadFG']Well, based on what I've seen so far, I'll be passing on the Xbox One. Out of all 3 major console companies, Microsoft is the one with the least exclusives that I care about (not counting games that are also on PC). In fact, I can't really think of any that were must-haves for me on the 360 that didn't go multi-platform. So I basically have 0 interest in the One.[/QUOTE]
Bet you'll get it eventualllly.

Yep. It's funny, I wasn't that interested in the PS4 until I saw the One. For now, Sony has won my money.

You weren't going to buy one anyways.

Well unless they come out with some new exclusive or publish Deadly Premonition 2 or do a complete turnaround for their indie section, I have absolutely no interest whatsoever. I can't even play my 360 games on it, so it's not even worth having in the living room in place of the 360.

Unless some awesome new games get announced or you guys start playing your multiplayer games there for some ungodly reason, the One is definitely last on my list of the 3 consoles to get, and the one I could most easily see myself skipping entirely.
 
''For pre-owned games, the Xbox One is designed "to enable customers to trade in and resell games," Microsoft said in the same Q&A post, promising more details later.''
cool thank you based bill gates
 
Fees to play used games? Wow I was kinda trolling in saying I was getting a PS4 but yeah this pretty much confirms it
 
I dunno. Maybe I'm not a mainstream consumer, but I'd never buy an Xbox One for the media capabilities. I mean, even if I wasn't a "gamer", I'd know that Xbox means games. As much as everyone predicted that MS would spin the new system as a multimedia device more than a gaming console, I see absolutely nothing One does that PS3 or 360 doesn't do already just fine. At least, there is nothing exceptional that would make me want to upgrade.
 
Back in my day, you could plug in a cartridge and just play a video game. No patching, no signing into some internet provider, no mandatory install, no nothing. You just turned on the system and played the game.

We called it a video game console.
 
Now you get to watch some shitty show by spielberg and some guys who did the coloring for halo if you buy an xbox one

No multiplayer? No bug fixing? No faster loading speeds due to install?

fuckin boring. Would never buy that console.
 
Who watches regular tv too? Dat Netflix is a god send and why M$ is pushing the tv experience I do not understand.

Then again, they are trying to cater to a different audience right?

Your days sound horrible.

Just like when people had to walk 2 miles in the snow to get to school. Things change for a reason. To be better.

They had excellent multiplayer, developers had to actually fix bugs before they released games and it had no load times. All hail the cartridge!
 
[quote name='CaptainJoel']1. No.

2. Requires subscription to supported cable company to use.

3. Nope. Comcast/ATT only.

4. $499 day one.[/QUOTE]

If true my interest is down as I don't want Comcast or AT&T. I'll stick with DirecTv unless I move some where I can get Fios.

Maybe TiVo or another company will make a set top box that does all the kind of stuff they showed and sav me buying a game console I may not want for gaming anyway.

Oh please. Tell me one good game that was on a cartridge that had multiplayer even half as good as COD4.

Yeah, but will it play Diablo 3? Thats the question everyone wants to know.

I could not play Contra or Gunstar Heros or Smash TV with my friend from miles away. Not excellent at all.

Almost every single RPG on those older consoles had at least one attribute stat that straight up didn't work. I call that a severe bug that the developers didn't fix.
 
[quote name='whoknows']Oh please. Tell me one good game that was on a cartridge that had multiplayer even half as good as COD4.[/QUOTE]

Tetris Attack > COD4 :booty:
 
I just realized that Steam right now does cloud gaming better/more favorably than Xbox One is touting.

And they haven't even revealed their console yet.
 
[quote name='gunm']I don't know if I'm disappointed or relieved that I don't want/need an Xbox One. Probably the latter.[/QUOTE]
I'm disappointed was hoping xbox would be my go to console in the next generation granted I can just not buy used games but there's a reason I post on CAG so that probably won't happen

Of all the games you could have picked you went with COD4? Are you one of those "girl gamers" that thinks they are so into video games just because they play COD?

Mario Kart, Goldeneye, and Smash Bros. all come off the top of my head as being more fun than I had with COD4. Online doesn't automatically equal great multiplayer.

I have to agree with the rest of what's being said in this thread...that announcement was awful. Plus now we're hearing other things like the used game stuff, backwards compatibility being gone, XBLA games/DLC not carrying over (There goes my 1000+ Rock Band song collection)...Xbox One just went from a day one purchase to a maybe in a couple price drops purchase. I hardly ever watch TV, I have Netflix, Hulu Plus and HBO Go to cover all of those needs. My PC has better graphics and better deals on games than anything they showed today. What a disappointment.

I don't play casual games like those. Not surprised a casual like you enjoys them though.

I was hoping this as well. The lack of backwards compatibility kills it for me though. I play Rock Band 3 and Dance Central 3 fairly often still, I'm not going to hook up my XBOX 360 + Kinect along with my XBOX ONE plus Kinect on the same TV in the same room...I guess I'll just wait until a couple price drops and play any new games on my PC.
 
[quote name='whoknows']I don't play casual games like those. Not surprised a casual like you enjoys them though.[/QUOTE]

Since when was Goldeneye considered a "casual" game...I'm not sure you understand what a "casual game" is, which only confirms what I said above.

Not me I'm glad they went blu-ray. Maybe then can we get big games like MGS 4 on xbox on single discs also you can just keep your xbox connected if you want to play shitty casual MP games like COD 4

Blu-ray doesn't have anything to do with backwards compatibility, the PS3 is capable of emulating the majority of PS2 games just fine. I don't play COD4, that was the other poster above me.
 
saw this on an xbox video I laughed
Why do they call it the Xbox One? ......Because it is 359 steps back.

You don't need to lie to kick it bro

It's on a Nintendo console. I don't think it gets any more casual than that.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or if you really just went full retard. Never go full retard.
