Fucking fantastic.
Should be great.
People need to understand what problems are occurring in which states in which environments under which builds. These people are complaining about APIs being buggy on older devkits (because lets face it -games are gold now) while the retail units are receiving patches. These games aren't tested on launch day patched retail units. If API calls are right and issues are still occurring, the issues are also easily fixable as its a global software issue. Everything about the toasts and notifications/friends requests and invites were when an app was running. Shocking eh? So we have some handshake issues with voice. Ok. But nothing is actually broken. Just not operating correctly sometimes in some scenarios. But lets get out the pitchforks and claim BROKEN
The part about pushing games back (that are already 2014) because of longer cert is bullshit because there's not going to be a lot of games being certified post launch.
Dev sources are the worst possible kind of sources especially in launch scenarios. In this scenario the best source is an Xbox dashboard engineer.
It does look cool but hardly something I would spend $500 for.

I didn't know Borderlands was what next gen looked like. I'm actually excited for it though, I'll be getting a XBone once Witcher 3 or Destiny is out, whichever releases first. I'll be getting a PS4 down the road too, but Halo and Fable are my favorite console exclusives.

I wasnt belittling anyone, I am also getting a PS4 at launch. I was specifically refering to him saying that people should buy the cheaper more powerful console. I personally couldnt give a single fuck about console power. I bought a Wiiu at launch. I want games that I like and new features. Current gen games looked good to me, so if next gens look better I will be a very happy gamer.

At least I can relax knowing that in here there are similar views to my own.
I can't imagine a world where a gaming console illicits actual emotion. I'd rather be passionate about laundry powder, at least my choice in that affects me daily.
How many times has Couturier been linked to a potential trade? Must be over a dozen times.

I am all for trading Couturier, but goaltending is so low on the list of things that need to be fixed. That would be such a dumb trade.

Jeeeesus. No wonder we passed.
i know it doesn't exactly answer everything. OS stuff comes together at the end. Hard to get a sense of these things when we're hearing from devs when most or all launch software is gold and MS has turned all its resources into finishing the retail end of the platform. If November 22 rolls around and the issues are there. OK. Everyone fucked up. But from this we understand if you're playing a game in SP or MP and aren't using parties or apps... if you're using twitch, you're unlikely to be in a party... you may not really care if an achievement doesn't pop up. (even if it's still recorded) Most user experiences should be flawless.
the bigger thing is snap crashing games
snap can't actually crash a game afaik. They both run in 2 separate VMs and run in their own protected memory and their own CPU/GPU resources. Either there's a bug in the game/communication OS (possible- meaning the OS is bugging out, not the game) or the communication OS layer is sending info to the game (re: state, in case game code wants to re-align some of its UI? dunno) and the game is handling it erroneously meaning the devs fucked up. or there's a hardware issue that is completely contained to the unit where the crash was occurring (bad memory? who knows)
again. pre-release and not final units skew someones perspective especially for someone who doesn't know what exactly is causing the crash. Saying snap is crashing it means shit. No. Snap is likely what started the chain of events that eventually caused the game to crash, but isn't likely the cause. (just an exposure of another problem somewhere down the chain)
^this is all just hypothesizing and not to be taken as gospel

I just want the Project Spark Beta to start here within the next few weeks.
I think they lost my beta request
sadface
half the reason i bought a surface pro was because i didn't have windows 8 which is needed for project spark.
I know =(
I fucking hate EA.
This is the first year I didn't buy NHL and it hurts man. It hurts inside.

Well it is pushed back to early November, every time you go to the sign up site and you put the same e-mail address in, it just says thanks and we will get back with you. Invites will be sent out probably right around the time it launches.
The game developer in me is so excited for this! The lazy part is probably going to win out though...
NHL Gaf wants to play Simp City Spark Edition

Talking heads have to realise by now that constantly mentioning someones name in trades will be frustrating for the player.
Phillys Bobby Ryan.
He was never the same after the great tank of 2011/2012 where he spearheaded every trade rumor.

The real question is whether or not they give a shit. More people quoting them, more people reading their blogs or watching their segments keeps them in the limelight. Less of a chance for them to have this scenario play out in their lives:
I'd say they're willing to fuck with a few people's sense of security to avoid it.

I think it's for the best that nobody was the same as their 11/12 selves.
You should try playing it. That hurts even more.
Just pony up for Hockeystreams, it's a lifesaver.
That sucks. TSN should have the Dallas game for you tomorrow.

$109 for a calendar year, all leagues, every event hockey related including the Olympics, draft, etc. it works on laptops, mobiles and you can stream through your xbox. I haven't been able to do the xbox stream, but someone else here might have. My laptop is too shitty to stream it to my xbox. Also every game is archived right after the game is finished and can be watched at any time.
Edit: all HD streams in 60 FPS too
