@Fryboy101 @mwamba1 The thing is MS statements have been changing on a daily basis but to be fair to you, I see where you're coming from, however you have to admit its been confusing and MS havent really cleared things up. from what I've read, the device needs to be connected at least once every 24 hours, publishers will recieve a cut from used game sales (this has to come from appointed "distributers" meaning it will be monitored somehow by MS) meaning I cannot take a game I paid for to my mates if he's offline. In essence based on the information thats out there at the time I wrote that comment, I stick to what I said. Can you give me links where it says X1 can remain offline indefinately?
So this coming X1 generation, I have to buy the game, pay for internet (can't play without), pay for Xbox Live, and pay for a used game disc...then pay again to activate it. Not only that but I have this camera thats always on, always listening. Any drop in income that see's me not being able to pay for internet means I'm essentially stuck with a fancy paper-weight brick of a device. Nice 1 Microsoft.
@Scorpion1813 @pspearman So if I decide to sell my Toyota or my old pair of Nikes, its OK for them to get a cut. How about I want to lend my wife my car for a day, I should Toyota a fee for that as well eh? Next thing you know before you share your burger with someone, you'll need written permission from Mcdonalds?
@LukeWesty @mwamba1 I was being sarcastic. FIFA 13 takes way too much control out of players hands with gameplay features like auto-tackle, auto-block etc, which require no controller input or sometimes ignore your controller input. Basically I was sarcastically implying the next step in the series to do away with us actually playing the game in any way whatsoever
judging by the comments...looks like a future setting would be welcome. Not for me tho. I just cant seem to relate to futuristic games. Haven't played BF2143 tbh but I just never bothered. Looks like I'm one of a few hyped for BF4 tho.
I can feel the PC gamers side pain. Its going to be an epic game and no one wants to be left out. My guess is this game is being developed for console and porting it isnt as simple as file>>>save as>>>save for PC. PC gamers will get the game, just not at "launch". The other issue is (calculated guess) new consoles are out end of next year so GTA has to launch early next year...and if they delay just to launch PC at the same time..well, it just won't work. Don't forget this game is a platform seller. I for one never bothered with current gen until GTA IV came out. Imagine GTA V being pushed back for PC, then launching at the same time as XBOX720/PS4, it would hurt sales no doubt. I can feel your pain, but honestly I dont think theres any hope. Either get a console or wait. Just saying
