Xbox One Always Online Screws Military

There has been much hatred towards Microsoft going around because of the restrictive way that DRM affects playing games on their system. Being in the Marine Corps, I know first hand the far reaching effects of this new policy. There are many MSG contracts opening up. MSG Contracts are security details for U.S Embassies that take Marines to Embassies in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Pacifiic, and the Middle East.

A lot of these duty stations don't have options for wifi. It's not a case of "O you can afford an HDTV but you can't afford internet". It's just not possible in a lot of places.

It saddens me when I think of a conversation I had with a buddy of mine who is PCSing to the Fleet and he had absolutely no clue what I was talking about. How uninformed is the average consumer?-Was the thought that ran through my head. I explained to him what Always Online meant and he jokingly said "F*** Playstation, Im getting an XBox one AMERIICAAA". That made me laugh.

I don't understand how Microsoft can just alienate their fanbase by excluding people that don't have acesss to internet. Not to mention you can't loan games on the xbox. Well, that's okay I'll just buy a new game.

Wait the Xbox One is region locked YAY...

I don't claim to be no hero, I haven't deployed yet. I have been stuck in Washington, DC on a detail I rather not talk about. The barracks are in the middle of the city so wifi isn't a problem for me. But I'll be PCsing to the fleet soon and who knows where that could take me, since the war in Afghanistan is slowing down.

I just want to know what are Microsoft offering to people like me. People that are defending their freedoms. They are a American Company right? Where is the pride?

I can only speak for what I think is happening in the U.S but this easily applies to other military branches worldwide.

Interesting point. I know people in the service like to relax and play some Xbox 360, but that won't always even be a choice with Xbone.

I don't know anyone in the military it is not an issue really they still can play 360 if they are xbox fans.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
