I pretty much steer clear of current topics on the game side and stick mostly to the retro threads. It's safer that way.
so true

That dying sound you just heard wasn't MS, it was the Rangers. They're pretty much toast against the Bruins.

Do people genuinely not understand, or do they just say they don't? I mean I hate to say they are either stupid or are trolling, but it is one of those two

Indians lost today
Good thing I hate baseball.
If you've bought a non-retail digital content item (dlc or full game), then you can't dump on the X1. You'd be a hypocrite if you did (not pointed at you, just in general).

Stern forgot to fill it with Kings balls.
It's alright. I was named after Jacob's Field, so that's got to count for something.
My issue with all this is the real story is that they are releasing an XboxU. Shitting out dated tech is disgusting and THAT is what should be all over the front page of GAF, not trolling/whining about a Steam DRM system coming to a console

Angst over the Seattle non-move, probably.
Maybe? 8 GB DDR isn't terrible, but none of the other details (GPU/CPU) are concrete? At the very least I think they are trying to hit the power to price ratio just right. The most successful consoles seem to hit that magic ratio (SNES, PS1, PS2, 360, to a lesser degree the Wii). I think the PS4 is going to over reach again, U went too conservative. Don't get me wrong, I love power, but it always seems to take longer for the average consumer to adopt due to price.

People aren't as mad about that because the specs we saw today are pretty much in line with everything in the rumors. They've had time to brace themselves for an underpowered Xbox.
As for the Steam DRM, that's gaming side getting mad...because they want to be mad at something. At E3, someone more eloquent than Phil Harrison will clarify the system, great games will be shown, gamers will be happy (or at least put up with it), no more GAMING AM DOOMED threads and all is right again.
Me too, offset is so much better on my hands.

Fuck you Jerruh! Funny side story: supposedly pone of the "incentives" Houston threw in was private access for NFL owners private planes to utilize Ellington Field (Air Force Reserve Base) as a personal airport during Superbowl week.
If it wasn't for the whole Broncos/Manning thing we could be friends.

I think it will be cool with Fantasy Football. I follow that during the games, so it will be cool to get live updates on the TV.
GAF's shared love of PSO overrides any hatred.
I guess I disregarded all the leaks b/c the leaks missed on Sony's DDR5. I figured MS would at least give a song and dance about how they were just as good, that EDRAM could make up for it. Basically "we got trumped by Sony but we tried". They flat out said they don't give a shit about decent technology. It's a Nintendo move
The problem with the ps3 was that the cell didn't use x86 architecture, not that it was too powerful. Am I going to have to put you in the fanboy camp?
Yeah, but I mean you would think that would excite a majority of hardcore football fans which the majority here are. I see no buzz. In fact, both forums I frequent seem overwhelming negative responses. No proof towards the whole population, but bad press and word of mouth so far will not help the xone's cause. I certainly will not be spreading a good word at work and elsewhere.
That Kinect thing looks expensive.
Phil Harrison is plenty eloquent. Microsoft is a dumb fucking company for how they've handled today. They look completely incompetent and their 'gaming system' is a glorified DVR. Seriously making excuses for them? Wow.

Ally Sheedy in that movie can get it
It's certainly a waste of space and resources, but I'm not sure how expensive it is. I mean it still can't track fingers
She was the best part of that movie by a country mile!
She peaked in that movie though.
Im not one of those "my gaming console is doing to many other things" people but the One IS trying to be everything to everyone and failing at all of them.
I run my AV equipment through my AV receiver. How will the XB1 know what settings the receiver and TV need to be on? Why do I need it to DVR when my satellite receiver has a DVR? Microsoft botched this shit badly
Should be clarified as 'difficult to develop for'. The PS3 was certainly more powerful in terms of what the CPU could do. Look back at all the hype the Cell got, as well as it's use for certain computational projects. That was bleeding edge technology at the time.
Sony just didn't have the shit in place or the tools to fully utilize it. That came later. MS had a more developer friendly system, with good tools in place to more efficiently utilize the hardware. GPU/RAM was better in 360, CPU/Media format was better in PS3. Fair enough?
GAF has never been a good indicator of future success. OG Wii would have died, Vita would be King, etc. In fact they are right up there with Pachter in making bad predictions.
Did GAF think Vita was going to be successful? I remember people liking it but also knowing it was doomed from the start
Right. So they remedied that and now the PS4 is too powerful? Or just too expensive? I'm guessing that breadbox sized kinect 2.0 with voice remote ain't cheap.
There was never a console that went for what MS is going for or changed things this much. I am sure people will buy it for games but I don't see it as a mainstream consumer electronics.
I wonder if the new consoles will be able to play pirated games. You can't sell shit in most of the world is that is not an option. With always online it seems like MS killed that market for good.

I rarely read GAF gaming side. I go to ******** where the main topic is the business side of gaming not the games themselves. I trust some opinions there a lot more. Still the Wii U was thought to be big and so far it is doing horribly after the first holiday. Most predictions are wrong, but I am not excited for the one at all ATM. That is the main point.

I'm not making excuses for them.
They've handled today hilariously awfully and they've got a bit of hole to dig themselves out of, and I'm certainly not interested in what they've shown so far. If the consoles launched tomorrow, I wouldn't buy an Xbox One.
But the thing is, the consoles don't launch tomorrow. Microsoft and Sony still have plenty of things to show off about the new consoles in the next six months or so. I'm just saying that the doom and gloom is a bit premature this far away from launch.
(BTW, more eloquent may have been a bit low. Phil Harrison is a smart dude. But Microsoft should have come up with a unified message on the matter before they went public. )
That's a fallacious argument though. I mean sure, you're right, but you're basing it on the past. It's irrelevant.
GAF was also right on the WiiU so far. People usually only remember the exceptions not the rule.
I don't want to support Microsoft for how they've gone about the end of this gen and this conference. If they show games that are unique and awesome it may make my decision harder. Strategy wise I do wonder why they chose this venue to reveal this awful news.
You should change your tag to Xbox tramp stamp.
