Weekly Roundup: Microsoft losing touch with gamers
Myk JL replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
I don't think MS should've even came into the Game Console Market to begin with. Had they stuck to PC we'd all be talking about digital downloads through Games For Windows instead of Steam. Their games prior to the Original Xbox were meant to be played on a console. That basically damaged Age Of Empires & MechWarrior. They're buying Rare from Nintendo has been mostly bad as Rare did better on Nintendo than they have ever done with Xbox. Halo could've been way more awesome if it wasn't bought buy MS & dumbed down for the Xbox. Then again maybe Halo will die off if MS could ever buy CoD Franchise off of Activision. Original ideas like Voodoo Vince get neglected by while such games as LBP with Sackboy by Sony get way more attention. Cult Favorites like Crimson Skies are pushed aside just for not being big enough instead of trying to be improved upon. And the final nail in this coffin for me was the poor transition from The Original Xbox to Xbox 360. Not just in how bad it was to make the games backwards compatible but also how MS created the Xbox 360 chip in controllers. It was done solely to make 3rd party controller manufacturers pay to make controllers for Xbox 360. It also helped prevent the Steel Battalion Controller from ever being able to be used with Xbox 360. So now not only is my copy of SB: Line Of Contact useless unless I find other means to play it online but this chip basically ruined the entire franchise even when they did make a game that tried to use Kinect controls. Only in a perfect world would MS had never even touched console gaming. Steel Battalion would or could have waited till PS3 or been on PC. And if it was on PC I could only dream of how many more giant robot games we might have had by now. (I also think I remember hearing how MW3&4 somehow used the SB controller.) The only nice thing I have to say about MS consoles right now is I bought a Refurbished 320GBs Gears Of War Xbox 360. So I could get "Free Games" (Currently Fable 3) from Xbox Gold. But even then the other part of that factor is how much Windows 8 sucks. And if anymore Xbox 360 Games were ever available on PC it would be through Windows 8 instead of Windows 7. That & I also bought a preowned copy of Kinectimals With Bears.... I couldn't help it.... I wanted a pet Cheetah. The Kinect was also refurbished. *Edit* The Jimquisition this week! http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/7533-PS4-Doing-Nothing-Meaning-Everything?utm_source=latest&utm_medium=index_carousel&utm_campaign=all -
Wow.... Boba Fett was right.... Jodie Foster is an asshole. At 1:10

Ewww.. They ripped off Fifth Element... Although that was a message in an alien instead of a human.

I was hoping it was a prequel instead of a sequel. Who's fighting for them? Everyone who was dismissed in the last that wasn't a warrior?

Sony Deals a Knock Out Blow to Xbox One at E3.

That whole thing about PS4 being consumer friendly was awesome. That & the fact PS4 will still have PS Plus basically covered my wants. Then followed by TESO which in the future might replace PS Home for me. So I'm pretty excited by this. That video though is an instant classic! *Edit* Something I forgot to post. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/7444-Xbox-One-and-the-Death-of-Ownership?utm_source=latest&utm_medium=index_carousel&utm_campaign=all -
Nintendo should've held onto Rare in general. I expect MS to scrap continuing this franchise like they did Conker if it fails. But then again I'm expecting Xbox One to fail.

If only these Reptilians looked like Argonians.... I wouldn't mind then having some being like Shahvee.... You know.... Green Skin Chicks.

Kojima had to keep Quiet about Lara Croft....

I wouldn't have mind if he was just some nutter who believed in aliens. It was everything he attached to it that bothered me. Conspiracy on The World Trade Center Bombing (Wonder what he say about 9/11) Conspiracy on Ruby Ridge Siege Conspiracy on The Waco Siege Conspiracy The Oklahoma City Bombing Fear that the government was going to take our guns away. Believing That The Next Election would've been the last if they didn't vote the current president (Bill Clinton) out. Believing by 2029 that 5/6s of the Human Population would be wiped out. There are over 7 billion on the planet. Its bound to be even larger by 2029. Even if its 12 billion by then there'd still have 2 billion people after 5/6s were gone. The need for religion without having an actual reason to believe in said religions just because of an alien invasion from space. (Are these aliens vampires or something where you'd need a cross or whatever to scare them off?) Why would religion be important during such an invasion? I suppose if it weren't for all of that he might have been more interesting to watch than crazy sounding.

The guy in GG's video sounds somewhat Liberal. The Guy in Sledge's video(s) sounds like a right wing nutter. But in either case I think they're both either nuts or lying. Then again I believe in aliens but I don't believe in people who believe in aliens. They just sound too crazy to believe.

PS Home (in a sense) has Dolphin Shaggers already.... It involve 2 or 3 Dolphies look like they're mating with each other. Which also reminds me I'm thankful I never bought a 360 because of Kinectamals though I'm starting to have that urge again to do so. I feel like I should at least buy the 360 before XBone ruins Xbox. Just like Windows 8 ruined Windows. I'm now forever thankful I own Windows 7 for my next PC. Though if MS were to declare bankruptcy during Windows 8 I'm hoping someone else besides me makes a "Why was Vista afraid of 7" joke. As for that last part I'm probably not going to buy a Next Gen Console.... Unless Steam Box turns out to be a console all along but even then I rather have a new PC instead just for the sake of Mods.

Damn.... I wanted Harvey Birdman.... This looks like it might as well copy Fox's X-Men or worse Michael Bay's Transformers....
-
I thought for a second that V (For Vendetta) sold out. Then from what he described just ruined the movie The Sixth Sense. After that a couple times I thought he'd make arguments for religion. Still overall a great Video. I'll try to remember to subscribe if you tube ever stops creeping me out when I log in.

That was (one of) the only DLC in SR3 that wasn't in The Full Package version. Also another video about SR4.
-
Ever since a joke about Frankenstein's Monster changing his name Frankensteen to get into a club that wouldn't allow Jews I had assumed names that ended in Stein were Jewish.... So the concept of this movie already has me confused with the idea of a Jewish Nazi Mad Scientist....

@-@ I donated above the average just to get The (Good) Walking Dead game.... But man.... I thought my list had some kind of avalanche when I activated the other Steam Key....

Something I forgot to mention due to me being annoyed by DC's Injustice Gods Among Us.... But for similar reasons to why Sledge played Sim City 4 I played Shadow President. I usually lower or remove Sales Taxes & Personal Taxes then make my estimated approval rating 20%. After that I start massive wars to any country mentioned as a threat. Usually starting off with Russia, China, & Iraq once I had the maximum amount of troops I could have in the area. The approval rating for winning a war always outweighed the response for fighting the war. And my citizens would be happy despite the fact the average amount they make was $3,000. That's pretty disturbing though once there is no one else to fight the citizens will either hate you for all past wars or you'd have to raise SSI or whatever it was called to keep them happy. I did in the past try to play it without going to war but Iraq was alway a prick that would attack no matter what. Now if only they could find out whether or not GW Bush played this they might have real proof video games cause war. Then again Shadow President was made around the time GHW Bush was president so that would probably be coincidental. But onto a new Zero Punctuation http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/7375-Metro-Last-Light?utm_source=latest&utm_medium=index_carousel&utm_campaign=all Damn.... I'd buy this if I didn't hear elsewhere it was buggy. I suppose if this one ever comes to a Humble Bundle I'll get it then.

If PS4 has DRM & these people want a Console that doubles as a Blu Ray player they might as well save the stress & just get a PS3. If the next gen console war has done anything for me it has relieved me from needing a new format. And Blu Ray as a Format for movies seems pointless if I can get movies on handheld devices.

At least when it comes to eBay in Germany they're actually making something out from this issue. http://kotaku.com/even-ebay-is-making-the-most-of-the-xbox-ones-bad-pr-510050693
