Topic: The everything Xbox thread

lmao

My Xbox Live wasn't down. Weird...

@Scar

Yes weird. rolls eyes

It was around 4pm UK time. And I wasn't the only one.

Ya, I was just messin'. I don't even have an Xbox 360 anymore.
I just see tons of complaints about internet that can be fixed w/o blaming the servers.. BTW, I DO have a PS3, and it wouldn't log in to PSN. My Wii U was able to log-in, but not the PS3.

No reported outage
My phone and console had no problems connecting to Xbox LIVE at all yesterday
In fact, I was downloading stuff from Xbox LIVE all day yesterday, and there are no disconnection reports on my router either

Sounds like it was either isolated to your region / ISP, or your connection to the internet was acting up. Also, unless it was completely down for more than 24 hours, the original policy wouldn't have stopped your from playing at all.

Also, ignoring the Skype Remote Play I see?

PS: Sony's first party output outside of Naughty Dog and Insomniac is laughable at best. And Insomniac is now a third party developer. In fact, they are doing a new exclusive IP for Microsoft (published by Microsoft Studios) so there goes 1 of the only 2 reasons to get a PlayStation system. Their E3 booth was also by far the least impressive one. The fact that the machine I was playing on froze 4 times and had to be reset certainly didn't help.

The PS Vita is frozen behind a plastic case at every demo kiosk I've ever seen.
The 3DS on the other hand, never freezes.

You guys really need to go tell people that there's literally no reason to buy a PS4. You need to save these people! Turn them into the direction of the almighty Microsoft, whose perfect console enjoys infinite more games and online functionality!

And Scar, I'm more surprised by the fact you admitted your PS3 ever worked. I thought it would be too preoccupied euthanizing puppies and stealing from homeless people to ever actually be played with. Not sure why you would buy such horribly inferior products though when the company is dying and all of Sony's games suck.

I didn't buy it. It was a family purchase that was basically given to me.
My dad bought it for the bluray player, so I saw no reason why I shouldn't buy a game here and there.

Sucker Punch says otherwise for one other developer they has that's great. They've got more too. From what I've heard as read Insomniac wasn't one of the best Sony's had either.

Ignoring it? I've acknowledged that they've got it too. I don't see why to keep debating it. I simply missed the news. You've got delusional Sony hate that voids reason. You can't seem to accept that PS does have it's superioritys in some places like free game with PS Plus. Gold's free games can't hold a candle to PS Plus's, but you can't acknowledge that. The way you insulted Sony's first party was also laughable. This is getting tiring.

Anyone that says Guerilla Games is bad will have to answer to me and the Helghast >: o

Not to mention there's Sony Santa Monica, Sony Japan Studio, Media Molecule and others.

Sony published the most high scoring exclusives out of anyone this past gen. The people saying they don't have any good games or developers aren't saying it because they know its true, they're just incapable of giving Sony credit for anything.

This pretty much sums up this thread:

And this sums up every interaction I've had with Scar thus far:

What free games? Oh! you mean the games they let you rent and get access to as long as you keep giving them money? That's completely different. Gold gives you free games, Plus gives you free rentals, completely different.

Sucker Punch? Now that is funny... their games so far have been OK at best.

Delusional Xbox fans vs. everyone else ever is amusing to me.

@AlexSays
It doesn't matter. The only people you'll believe is officials in the industry, anyway.
If many big names in the industry don't know much of anything, why would it be so hard to believe that I have any idea what I'm talking about?
It' a catch 22.
We're dealing with fools that actually think Xbox 360 is still technically a better console than Wii U.

Yes I believe actual developers that have worked with console. Over someone who just says things and then says 'no source, you just gotta understand bro'. Its shocking I don't believe everything you say, I know.

Perhaps it would be different if you found one dev to agree with you. Just one. But so far I have been empty handed.

Even based on the bare specs of the hardware we know, the Wii U is better in every way. People aren't defending Wii U, because they're fanboys or any if that BS.
The machine is actually worthwhile. People have been judging Wii U since a year and a half before it was even on the market.
That's way less sensible than actually letting the system hit the market, and observing what it can do.
I'm not making stuff up. Go ahead and believe Wii U is a weak console, because your more than wrong.

EDIT: BTW, here's that source you wanted. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/05/shinen_wii_u_has_eno...

Source. For the love of the lord, source.

There were also nuts trying to tell me the Wii was stronger than the PS3 and 360 when it released? What makes them any different from you? Why would I blindly follow you when you have just as much proof of them?

Are you telling me out of video game websites, journalists, developers, publishers, etc. you are the pinnacle of hardware knowledge and everyone else just isn't intelligent enough to understand? This is like Shutter Island my brother, I am trying to wake you up and bring you back to reality. If you have no source for this knowledge - that seemingly nobody else in the world has - where could it have originated from? Why is there not one person in the gaming industry that thinks the Wii U has any sort of hardware advantage, or is even capable of matching the other consoles?

This is completely ignoring all of the other wild ideas you have.

• a machine that scans a PS4 disc and turns it into a Wii U disc
• PS not being profitable and paving the way for Sony's destruction
• ports only costing $1.4 million for the Wii U

I'll let you have those (even though they are just as unsubstantiated and irrational), I just want to bring you into the rest of the world on this one issue.

Those rental games they give out are better and in a greater number. Anybody with a brain that can comprehend logic would see that PS plus offers a much better free game service, even if they are rentals. Under your logic Netflix offers a pretty bad deal. The fact is simply that you can't comprehend the idea of Sony doing this better than MS at all.

@SCAR He's talking about the 360 and the PS3 (ironically platforms they admittedly have no experience with). I have said multiple times, a dev saying the Wii U is stronger than the PS4 and X1.

How many times can you shift goalposts and backpedal from what we've been discussing?

@Jaz007
Netflix lets you access their entire library, though. No one should ever even want to own as many DVDs as there are on Netflix.
Xbox One has the better deal, because their free games aren't tied to their online service.
It would be like finding a sale on something at the store, and complaining that you missed out on such a great sale. I can only imagine how much you must hate special events, ranging from game expos, and basically everything else with a limited time.
Once your PS Plus subscription has expired, you lose EVERYTHING.
All you need to do to keep Xbox Lives free games, is have the subscription while they're up for grabs.
Do you see the difference?

@AlexSays
Did you read the source? Proof. Done and done.
It doesn't matter if they've worked on the console. Just by looking at the specs and architecture that brings the hardware together, it's obvious the Wii U can do much more than any previous system.
