@Lsnake Like how you're thinking, snake. an internet connection is NOT REQUIRED to play a frickin' game!!! Their arrogance in staying their course over the last couple of days is only making them look more arrogant and greedy and uncaring to the core gaming audience. Never expected this from a next-gen debute.
@Wild_666_Child @donger I still can't believe that this is their idea of damage control; SONY destroyed them in front of the world; and to promote their intentions "you can get a 360 if you don't have internet"? it's almost unreal.
If Microsoft were psyched up or proud of any of their next-gen stipulations, they would have gone into lengthy details during the unveiling two weeks ago, and during their press conference at E3. But that's just it.....it's not "pride"...it's corporate greed, installed on their consumer base as a "take it or leave it" tactic. Microsoft is the only company on the planet that will piss on it's target audience like this, without even offering them an umbrella. Sony knew what the world wanted......they knew the world would want the polar fucking opposite of what microsoft was imposing on its core gamer. So what did they do in their press conference???? SCREAMED IT LOUD AND PROUD!!! EVERYTHING XBOX WANTS TO IMPOSE ON YOU..............WELL....WE GOT WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT OVER HERE".
Take a pole while at E3, Microsft. See who is psyched about ANYTHING you are attempting. And based on that core gamer pole at the most important gaming expo....do what will with your stipulations that NO ONE is asking for.
This isn't even a race anymore, Micro-fucks!!!!! The world has spoken loud and clear over the last couple of days; The uproar at the Sony press conference is still rattling the hallways at Microsoft Gaming Studios: NOBODY IS PSYCHED ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO IMPOSE WITH YOUR SHITBOX!! The world wants used games; The world wants to do what the hell the want to with what they buy and own; if my internet goes down or if i don't have internet, it would be super fucking duper if i could still play a game on my 500 dollar box; taking my disk to a friends house would be nice too...or taking my box on vacation to the mountains because i'd like to do more than watch people ski. Shape up.....Conform to the public's needs and request.......or get the **** out of the market. PERIOD.
Remember that little snafu , oh say...7 yrs back, when microsft shipped the xbox 360, knowing that eventually every single one of them would overheat and break? Oh yeah.....they didn't apologize for that either. Microsoft is so twisted-fucked for thinking the world is going to swallow and tolerate these kinds of stipulations just to play their shitbox offline.
NEVER, in all my years of gaming, have i seen a new console enter a competitive market; give every single person on the globe the 'one-finger salute', and then piss on them without the courtesy of calling it 'rain'. ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE, MICRO$OFT!!! I am still in shock as to how blatently confident they are in not retracting any of their bullshit comments. How can you have confidence in this concept:
** here's the rules after you shell out $500+ dollars for our box **
1. internet connection to play anything on a next gen console???.......HELL YES, MUTHAF*CKA'S!!
2. Let your buddies try your game that you thought you owned? BIG F*CKIN' NEGATIVE!!!
3. Sell that game on Ebay, Craigslist, Gamestop, that you thought you actually owned??? BIGGER F*CKING NEGATIVE!!!
4. Oh, and i know our competitor is selling their box $100 cheaper, and not "REQUIRING" ANY of these corporate, greed filled restrictions upon the masses............but we are confident you will appreciate the complimentary bottle of lubrication that comes with every xbox one, as a result of willingly letting us re-enact a man-love scene from shawshank redemption on your blind, retarded asses.
Micro$oft really could salvage this disaster by just coming out screaming: "Look..this is a business; we're greedy little cunts; and we're mighty sorry 'bout that; PLAY AND TRADE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, ONLINE OR OFFLINE....TRADE YOUR SHIT AT STORES, PRIVATELY, CRAIGSLIST OR WHEREVER...BUY OUR RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED SHIT AND GIVE US OUR GUARANTEED PROFITS........and SORRY for trying to f*ck the world like a tied up squirrel."
