....announcing dlc for Battlefield 4 even before info about the game itself is know. I mean, is it me or is that just insane?

I guess its because I'm 29 now, and my glory days are behind me, but that smells like hot ass. Gaming doesn't have a soul anymore. It's just a cash grab.

Nah that's exactly what it is.

It was always a cash grab, they just got better at grabbing it.

yep. i NEVER thought that microtransaction shit would go over.
obviously people are in a damn hurry to give away all their money though.

occasionally i'll fork out for an extra game mode. like Legends Showcase in 2k12. that was fun. but it kills me that folks are willing to pay for extra costumes, shortcuts to juice stats (think EA Sports games) and shit like that.

yeah i thought it was gonna be like $10 bucks max. it'd still suck but that's at least sort of reasonable.

Kotaku: If Im playing a single player game, do I have to be online at least once per hour or something like that? Or can I go weeks and weeks?

Harrison: I believe its 24 hours.

Kotaku: Id have to connect online once every day.

Harrison: Correct.

that pre-announce DLC stuff is SOP now. after BF3 i'll buy it based on a vague description.

Trying not to let everyone else hype me up, but this XboxOne sounds like a heap.

this is pretty much my reaction to every piece of news i've heard about The One.

It's an online-only console, but they set the server timeout to 24 hours.

They're basically doing the PC thing of "you have to be online to activate the game and then you have to pay for it again elsewhere," except without all of the other advantages of PC, and they're doing it to fight legal used games instead of illegal piracy.

Yep. Fuck this.

I don't have much of an option other than to deal with Adobe's bullshit. These dudes can miss me.

I wonder if they're going to even begin to approach Steam's regular sales...or even bother making the Netflix app not suck total ass.

edit: You have to connect once a day? lawd.

Haha oh shit the game done changed, how can anyone defend this shit? Last time i left a console on all day was back in the Genesis days. Me and my brother had made it to the final stage in Double Dragons vs Battletoads and we left it on all day while we sent to school so we wouldnt have to start over

ViewtifulJC · May 22, 2013

Has a console reveal ever had so many anti-features?

The Faceless Master · May 22, 2013

anyway...

~~Xbox One~~

I can't think of any. Third console curse in full effect, except MS was never #1.

Urban Scholar · May 22, 2013

What happens when you have to deal with oh I don't know...work,school, family problems, power goes out, and etc.

I'm starting to suspect time will have them patch changes with this console

ReiGun · May 22, 2013

I'm only skimming the threads, but I can't even find anyone defending this shit. Just tears and lolz.

I almost want Sony to fuck up so we can get a "Batshit Insane Console Maker" hat trick.

There are.

I cannot believe it, but there are. The only semi-logical explanation I can find is that they're somehow paid.

Was always going to happen eventually. Especially in a publisher led industry. I can see Sony following suit in a similar fashion eventually so as to not be left behind.

Buy a PS4 (if that doesn't have the ridiculous used game policy)

Major Nelson comes to your place and pisses on you.

You also have to get online just to activate the damn game.

If they were coming back, now would certainly be the time. Get em while everyone's weak. lol
