Or you go with the console most of your friends are using. And for the last two generations, most of my friends have had Xbox, so that's the ones I used. With this PS4 announcement, it definitely looks like I will be hold off on getting a next gen console until next summer, wait to see how the dust settles amongst my group of friends, and choose accordingly (unless, in the end, I just switch to PC gaming).
Exactly. Even if the Xbone sucks, if all your friends are over there, there is a high chance you'll get the One and as that M$ guy said "Deal with it." That or you could get new friends I guess... Truthfully I don't want any of the companies to fail. I since the N64 I've had every system to come out other than the GC (but I then bought GC games for my Wii, so I guess I have)(also BACKWARDS CAPABILITY FTW), and I've loved every single one of them (well, haven't done much gaming with the PS3 actually, which goes back to the friends thing). Nintendo may not have the most power, but very few games beat their fist party games. I love Halo. Jak and Daxter are some of my favorite games of all time. In a perfect world though, all the games would be on one system, and wouldn't make me think strategically on how to spend my money lol
iPad is my console.. anyways.. i found this poem that fits well for Xbox.. Roses are red Violets are blue Omae wa shindeiru ("You are already dead")
That rome game looked interesting, moreso than titanfall. Until I watched the gameplay. Everything made it earn one title from me. COD: Ancient Warfare. Every kill a QTE. No real control. Focus on cinematics. Really dissapointed.
My hype went from sky high to pretty low during that. Started out really excited and by the end I was extremely bored.
Too linear, too much QTE, too little actual play. I want to play the game not watch it! Dang. If it was open world, that'd be better. But its linear. Looked nice yes. But failed to impress.
thought it interesting that even forbes posted an article called "PS4's Price And Policies Humiliate Microsoft's Xbox One At E3" I'm losing a bit of respect for Microsoft seeing all the fake accounts their using everywhere I think their spending more on "reputation management" than they did on games. I think it's pretty bad a company of that size and power has to resort to such dirty tactics and anti consumer shenanigans I was already set on the PS4 this gen but this is galvanising it.
Reputation management. That reveal was actually funny to me. Reading about MS desperately seeking to fix their image instead of the actual console.
I read that the console and many commands are going to be voice activated... I am wondering what might happen when someone's dog starts barking - come home to find your dog purchased 50 games, and signed you up for a few hundred porn subscriptions....
That's pretty damning coming from Forbes. It's like Jesus telling you your version of the Bible is total bull. I like this part: "Microsoft, as of now, is a bit harder to get a hold of, and is likely carefully crafting some sort of PR spin for all this". So watch out... it's coming.
I've read during the xbox one original reveal everyone using a 360/kinect to watch had it automaticly switch off when the guy was talking about the xbox off feature, gave me the evil idea of adding an "xbox off" voice command to all videos just to make them unwatchable there. Does show voice commands could be a hindrance in some situations if nothing else.
I figured they'd make some announcement that all games on Xbox One would be like, $20 or something to justify everything else, or some other bonus that'd change people's mind, but I guess not.

http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/06/12/gamers-without-internet-can-stick-with-xbox-360-says-microsoft Pretty smartass little remark.
When big companies do obviously stupid things like MS and Apple, it's just a reminder that they're only part of a cycle and won't be top of the heap forever. On the other hand, Sony had a disastrous launch with the PS3 and clawed back, so who knows.
2006 sony E3, some of the best gaming jokes ever. But that statement just killed all of RM's progress and set it back extremely far. Buddy, my response to you? Its called a PS4.
