$499 price for the most restrictive console ever, and $60 for games that you do not own. What a ripoff.

HK5A3971d ago

Are you saying if you buy an Xbox One game it's not yours?

Fucking stupid, lol

Qrphe3971d ago

It's really stupid, but MS is the mastermind behind this after all.

theBAWSE3971d ago

I had to laugh at the earlier article today statingq DRM is great for ms to win the new console generation because they may price games cheap like 29.99

plebs

lociefer3971d ago

why should i pay 60 to rent a game for mS now ?

dennett3163971d ago

It's not yours to do with as you please after you're finished with it - depending on whether or not a publisher feels like letting you trade it in at an MS sponsored retailer. Want to sell your game on ebay to recoup some of the cost if you don't particularly like it? "Nope, sorry, screw you we're forcing you to keep that sucker unless you take our pitiably low trade in price that we get to set because we have a right to do that now, for some reason" - Random Game Publisher.

$60 to license the use of a game that I have to pay even more for if I want to play it online? No thanks.

loulou3971d ago

you can sell the games you pricks. just the purchaser will have to pay the unlock fee, and it will be unplayable on your hdd.

But you were never going to buy one no matter what Microsoft did...

Transporter473971d ago

Unless they took out their DRM and the used game fees would actually would of gotten one, as of now, im not.

mydyingparadiselost3971d ago

I would have if the restrictions had been let go.

dennett3163971d ago

I certainly wasn't, not after their focus for the next gen was made abundantly clear with the bundling of Kinect and the idiotically useless TV features.
The casual stripping of consumer rights and atrociously over the top DRM just dropped the cherry on the sundae for me. Console piracy was a thing, but it was a very minor thing...not like PC where it was all done via software crack, you had to physically mod the 360 by opening it and soldering a mod chip. What percentage of 360 owners would even consider doing that? 5%, maybe. Their restrictions are ludicrously over the top.

DigitalRaptor3971d ago (Edited 3971d ago )

Oh, stop with this deflecting trite.

I would've bought a 360 before this new gen if MS actually cared about their consumers. The same would've been the case with Xbox One. I don't have to look far to find reasons to dislike Microsoft. MS treat their consumers like fools and criminals. Never has the seller had the mindset that buyers serve them rather the way it should be.

Listen to Jim Sterling's words of wisdom:

You guys are just as deflecting as your masters.

karl3971d ago

u know.. its not our fault that we dont like MS..

its theirs..

mochachino3971d ago (Edited 3971d ago )

They should be cheaper to reflect the fact that often half of the game is inaccessible and requires that you pay MS additional money to use.

Depending on how many games you buy per year, a single game could really cost $120.

Even going by the consumer average 4 games a year, each One game with MP (all thus far) will cost $75 dollars when MS Gold Tax is applied.

nigelp5203971d ago

From the looks Killer Instinct should cost $40

NegativeCreep4273971d ago

but only if it came with fries and a medium drink. Now that's what I call a KILLER COMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

thereapersson3971d ago

LOL, hey, if you're on XBox you could always hope it'll come with free Pizza Hut!

thelaughingwiseman3971d ago

What happens if your Kinect breaks? How much will it cost to replace it. You know me, clumsy person

RandomDude6553971d ago

60 bucks for something I don't own....no thanks

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing691h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6951m ago(Edited 50m ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos7h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto6h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger886h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
