Did Microsoft Shut Up The Xbox One Haters For Good?

The Tyuno Project: "On June 19, Microsoft made an big announcement about the Xbox One. Microsoft made some big changes that made a ton of gamers very happy. Microsoft is trying to fix their reputation and to please their audience. It seems that people are starting to see Microsoft and the Xbox One in a positive view, but I wonder if there are people still hating on the Xbox One?"

[a_bro]

nope.

[AhmadCentral]

But have you seen Titan Fall?

-Major Nelson

[HammadTheBeast]

Yeah on my PC lol.

Also, Did the PS4 destroying Xbox One in pre-orders shut the Sony haters for good?

[georgeenoob]

There will ALWAYS be fanboys around, no matter how irrational and biased they'll sound.

[ChozenWoan]

and I've got a PC.... and the game is on 360 as well.

Those who have been around gaming for a while can tell when a game is on a Limited Time Exclusive contract. EA wants money and MS gave them some to publish this game so it could be claimed as an exclusive. Well ok at launch it will be, but after a year it will come to PS consoles... even if EA has to publish Titan Fall: Sigma.

[nypifisel]

@Iron_spider

Yea cause playing a multiplayer game doesn't require internet... dumb

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

@iron-spider

If it's at a lesser pricce point? Sure... That was the problem with MS, it's not that you can't do this kind of DRM, Steam have been doing this for a long time and everyone loves 'em, because the DRM downside is balanced with really sweet prices. You can't expect DRM to be readily accepted with no counter points. Now, on Titanfall, I'll say wait and see, as it's also not on Steam, but on Origin (which is also yet to prove their system worth).

[Thegamer41]

I will repeat what i have said in another post.
I never understood why people consider titan fall an exclusive when its coming to pc as well, you don't see anyone trying to claim planetside 2 or the other free to play MMO games to be PS4 exclusives.

[user5575708]

well now its just back to hating on kinect, useless tv features, $100 extra and having to pay for xbox live just to use netflix

I'm also curious to see if they have hardware issues again this time around

[JokesOnYou]

Well Hammad since getting the pc version is so "lol", ironicly the pc version doesnt match the X1 game this time lol, according to Respawn themselves the best version of Titanfall is on X1....on topic NO fanboys by definition will always hate the other console.

[pompombrum]

Yes, will look great on my gaming PC!

Microsoft will shut me up when they either lower the price to the same as the ps4 or offer me the option to buy the console without kinect for the same price as the ps4.

[C-Thunder]

Oh, you mean the multiplayer only 6vs6 mech game? Eh

[No_Limit]

The same old excuse if it is not on a Sony console, "I'll just play it on PC". I can pretend say the same with DC Universe and Planetside 2 as well but I can't because my laptop from 2 years ago cannot run these games. I bet many people have the same issue to.

Anyways, Titanfall on Xbox1 this Spring. Can't wait. :)

[thecowsaysmoo]

Why spend 500+ dollars for Titan Fall, when I can get it on my 360?Their wont be too much of a difference in terms of graphics.

[NewMonday]

"But have you seen Titan Fall?"

AhmadCentral meant this as a meme, it's an ongoing joke in NeoGaf, it gets mention whenever the XBone weaknesses and problems are talked about.

[miDnIghtEr20C_SfF]

Of course not. Even if there wasn't the 24 hour check in, and the DRM stuff they'd still get the hate. USA loves our Xbox... rest of the World meh.

It's ok though. My Xbox isn't going anywhere despite the hate.

[aceitman]

usa loves a good price parents wont shell out 500$ for a system that why the bought the 360 , parents hmmm 399 or 499 ok 399$ and its the truth.

[Retroman]

im in good ol u.s. of A my perference will ALWAYS!!! be ps1,ps2,ps3,ps4,ps5 so on.

only a NUT would buy anything out side of software for computers from MS....

[creatchee]

The Xbox One could give unlimited, amazing, on-demand blowies and there would still be those who yell "b-b-but it doesn't toss your salad!"

[koolaid251]

Parents shelled out $699 for the Ps3 when it released.

[georgeenoob]

Titanfall is not on PS4, it is a Microsoft Exclusive, no?

[Imalwaysright]

No, its multiplatform.

[Thegamer41]

Double post

[fermcr]

Just by curiosity... do Sony fanboys consider a game that's on the Vita and PS3/PS4 to be exclusive or multiplatform ?

EDIT below... actually NO.
Definition Multiplatform:
"In the consumer gaming market, Multiplatform games run on more than one gaming machine".

[TheFirstClassic]

@fermcr those are still playstation exclusives, they are only on sony platforms. Titanfall is also on pc.

[I_am_Batman]

It's on Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC. It'll probably be on PS4 later.
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

[Beeker]

@fermcr if its on ps3 and vita then its a sony exclusive. If its on xbox and pc it is not a M$ exclusive. Simple enough for you?

[Foxgod]

So if its on Windows and XB1, which is also Windows, its not an MS exclusive?

Or where you planning to install those games on Mac or Linux?
Doubt itl work. VM's are good, but they aint gaming good.

[koolaid251]

Yes it is!!!

[BitbyDeath]

@iron_spider,

Titanfall can be played on a Sony PC.
It is not Microsoft exclusive.

[a_bro]

they got rid of the DRM, thats a good thing, but theres still a lot more they have to do, like for instance,supporting indie gaming, and that price point. in my opinion i dont think there's much you can do with the kinect, but im not a game developer, so i dont know what games can be implemented and enhanced to make our core games better and fun. so they have to prove to us that $500 system with the kinect is worth the cost.

but they got rid of the DRM, that was the dealbreaker for me. my internet connection is "untrustworthy" so i would of hated and "always online" console. but its gone, and now, I have the thought of buying the console, but after i buy a PS4.

microsoft wanted to shove it down our throats, just like what they wanted to do with HD-DVD after they went to the bargaining table with Warner Bros. when they told them they wanted to kill the disc format and go all digital.

If anything, let that transition to digital take its course, kinda like nature. and give incentives to buy our games digitally.

[CrossingEden]

project spark may possibly be the greatest game maker ever made and now they're even saying it could help people learn the bascis of game development and level design, that's great for indie development

[YNWA96]

Get a life then...

[NYC_Gamer]

People who dislike MS will continue to talk negative about X1....I couldn't stand the online/region locking restrictions but can now support the console since those are now long gone and dead...PS4/X1 will be my next gen consoles.

[BabyTownFrolics]

Ps4/x1

I Iike it

[LAWSON72]

I dont $110 a year to just play multiplayer.

[I_am_Batman]

I disagree. I dislike MS as a company for trying to implement DRM, treating indie devs bad, and a couple of other reasons however I think that the Xbox One has a lot of potential to be a great console. My main reason for not buying it at launch is that I don't trust MS. They could switch the focus to casual gamers when the X1 reaches a pricepoint where it'll be affordable for everyone similar to how they did with the 360. If they offer a version without Kinect and will accept self publishing I might pick one up for the exclusives at some point. .

[Tyre]

@I_am_Batman Well Said! People trying to make the dissapointed gamers look like crying fanboys are believing in a new lie. The lie that Microsoft didn't brought this on to themselves by dissapointing a whole lot of their fanbase & gamers in general with their schizophrenic scheme & arrogance. Greed has got the better of them. I've got 11 years of Xbox gaming behind me, but i'm buying the PS4 only, i am sorry but Microsoft dissapointed me. They're just dishonest and sore losers and i just do not like their mentality & their fake promises. JAllard's & his team (who designed the 360) were real cool people and gamers themselves, but they are all gone...Trixie360 warned us about the change within Microsoft, she was totally right. All that's left at Microsoft are suits and Salesmen, good luck with that blind fanboys.

[Urusernamesucks]

DRM that never got to affect you but you still bitch like it did.

[Mr_Nuts]

You mean people will dislike MS for forcing Kinect onto people who don't want to be spied on or to pay extra for something they don't want to use

What about those who think MS are arseholes for not letting self indies publish or those who think it was still wrong for them to think of DRM in the first place. Then you have those who will believe MS will bring this back into effect in the future or do something just as worse

Point is just because of this one thing where they had no choice in reversing their policies anyway dosen't give them a free pass.

Honestly it amazes me what I'm seeing, people doing a 180 themselfs, thinking MS are saints for changing their policies when 1) There is still other faults with it, Kinect for starters as I've said above and 2) They never had a choice since pre orders were low.

People are making out that people were hating on MS for nothing and that faboyism came into it when it was more about morale

[karl]

u are making sense dude...

why the hell did we complain soo much if there werent ppl who were actually going to buy an x1 if they change the Drm and online checkin system..

soo i totally respect your decision.. yet i wont buy a console that buys third party exclusives..

thats always been my reason .. DRM or not..

[ChipdiddyChip]

Haters will always exist, nothing ever shuts them up.

[Sayai jin]

LOL. Why ask a question when the answer is so obvious.

[Transporter47]

I'm not hating on the System i'm hating on M$ because of their greed they were going to force the consumer with a ridiculous DRM then they reverse it because nobody wanted their DRM Crapbox. Now that drm is gone now its a considerable choice, but the thought of M$ trying to shove DRM down my throat will still stay in my mind.

[ChozenWoan]

not to mention they still require always on Kinect and there is nothing to stop them from peeking when your console is online. Big Daddy NSA needs more info and MS is dedicated to getting daddy what he wants.

[Foxgod]

Sadly not, humanity will always be split in multiple camps.
Its a natural system that humans strife and decline on, and it apply''s to everything.

[ChozenWoan]

Get this man more bubbles.... I kid I kid.

But keep up the logical thinking and you just might get a bub from me.

[Foxgod]

Will do, but my different attitude has a lot to do with the toned down hating going on, on my gaming preferences.

Its a lot easier to stay cool for me, when i dont get insulted constantly.

[ChozenWoan]

It's all a mater of how you present yourself.

1. The trick is not to take or make anything posted here personally. Once it becomes personal everyone losses focus and the community suffers.

2. Highlight your sarcasm if your using it... this is a text based forum and sarcasm get's lost quickly here.

3. N4G is a great place to learn what's new in the gaming world and to get some opinions regarding that news. Just don't think your gonna change anyone's opinion, but if your respectful, you just might help someone learn more about why you stand by your opinion.

4. Everyone gets disagreed, everyone get's slammed from time to time. Have fun and enjoy the madness that is N4G... it's got some of the best gaming drama on the net. lol

[Geezus]

nope... haters gonna hate , lovers gonna love. Thats life.

[Tales RPG addict]

Too little too late Microsoft. The only console i'm buying from you is another x360 since my last one RROD on me. Otherwise i'll stick with PlayStation like I always do.

[True_Samurai]

Nope because here they come

[CrossingEden]

they already arrived

[Popoffboy187718]

Get rid of kinect and make a gd game. Something they haven't accomplish since gears of war ! Lol

[jonboi24]

It'd hard to forgive then fir what they tried to do but at least they got rid of the drm.

[Godmars290]

launch day is still going to produce stories about people who'll both buy and wont be able to use the system because of its one online registration requirement.

[ceedubya9]

I'd bet that there will be a workaround for people that can't get their console online for the update on day 1. Probably be a way to get it on a usb drive or something as long as you can access the internet from somewhere. Of course, that is just me assuming. Who knows, they may even include an update disc in the box.

[Darkshader01]

Did Microsoft Shut Up The Xbox One Haters For Good?

hmm, I don't know because some gamers says that damage was done already and you will be a fool to trust microsoft. while some gamers don't care whats going on as long as they can play their Halo and Geow.

In the end of the day all it matters for microsoft is how many pre-ordered the XBOX1? We shall find out by November.

[Sitdown]

Nope, only death can, but even then they will find a way...

[Sarobi]

No. You are going to see both sides attack and complaint on each other for years to come, it's just how it is.

[quaneylfc]

f

[RandomDude655]

u

[quaneylfc]

are you trying to chat me up, you betta sought your fockin loife at san (cockney accent)

[GirlyGamer]

Is that even possible?!?

[quaneylfc]

no, they didn't they made some game fans into idiots in less than an hour though, were sorry, we fucked up, were in trouble and were forced to change our policies with the risk of losing the game side of our company.....but we listened to you!!!! ¬¬ no they didnt, people pre ordered that machine because they were comfortable...so i wouldnt say microsoft shut the haters up, i would say they turned former (now current) xbox fans into drooling, quickly forgiving idiots that cant remember 8 months of shit.

[ceedubya9]

Well, I'm getting one, and I don't consider myself an idiot because it. I like a lot of the games they have coming, especially around the launch window. The things that made me hesitant at launch are now gone, and I don't see a point in being all upset about something that was planned (and then taken out)for a console that is still months away.

The console doesn't have to be online every 24 hours and I can play my games however I want. That's all I needed from them. I got it. I'm fine, and moving on. I'm getting both consoles at launch, and I couldn't be happier.

[CaulkSlap]

Nope. Still my distant second choice. But I'm gonna buy one now at least. Even though I'm thinking 80/20 for play time between PS4/XBO. Mostly because I certainly intend on buying multiplats for the system with superior hardware.

[C-Thunder]

Second? I think you forgot about the WiiU.

[CaulkSlap]

Nope. WiiU is an even more distant third. I'll be happy to get one when they cut the price to reflect actual hardware value. I want to play the primary Nintendo games but I'm not giving them $350 for outdated junk hardware.

[C-Thunder]

Caulk, I agree you should wait for more titles and maybe a price cut. I picked mine up for Monster Hunter (worth every penny) but waiting for those new titles, like Mario Kart, is a killer.

[OrangePowerz]

Just because they change their mind on one part after they have seen the pre order numbers doesn't mean they are great now.

They still have the Kinect requirement, no self publishing and 3 OS wasting resources. If they change those things I shut maybe up, but then again if they change it it's because their competition is better and not because people complain.

[Popoffboy187718]

If someone try to rob u but u stop them in the process . Catch em red handed and they say I wuz just playing would u forget what they tried to do 2 u ? That's the same thing that's going on lol? ( Microsoft ) see if we can take them for a ride? They love halo ?

[Kevlar009]

Pretty sure we shut them up.

MS was all like "DRM and used game fees are the future, everyone needs to be connected and follow our rules, #dealwithit" and we replied "No, we're not, because it's stupid and it's just a way to control us and make more money off of us. Watch us go to PS4 instead".

We rallied and threatened to put our money elsehwere, and they complied. I'm not hearing any push for DRM and fees from MS anymore, are you?

[iliimaster]

hell no they didint they need to take out that webcam and shave off 100 there is nothing to justify it being at that price

[slampunk]

Not on N4G!

[_LarZen_]

So here we have people saying to Microsoft "Please do not force DRM on me, I will not buy your console if you do this".

And Microsoft is forced not only by Sony but by people around the world not liking the way Microsoft had planed. And Microsoft says "ok, we took it to far..here's how it's going to be".

And people are like "Boooo! First you planed to do something we did not like, and now you have listen to us but we are so full of shit we still wont buy it! Ha ha!"

And the rest of the internet is like "WTF is up with these people...are they retarded or something?"

And as time goes by the XBO comes out and most of these keyboard warriors buys a XBO because it had some really cool games for it.

And the rest of the internet is laughing hard and long at the dumb dumb keyboard warriors.

True story!

The end.

[vikingland1]

This was a stupid Troll headline just to stir S**t. I am getting both PS4 and Xbox One. Happy gaming to all.

[Lvl_up_gamer]

MS could have given the ultimate console for free and the Sony Fanboys would still find a reason to hate it.

Sony fanboys are the single most ignorant worst fanboys in the world.

[stage88]

"Sony fanboys are the single most ignorant worst fanboys in the world".

I see you weren't looking at N4G around 2006-8. Xbox fanboys were knocking the ps3 left right and centre.

I firmly believe that Xbox fanboys really are the most ignorant and worst. They were even threatening people who bought a ps3. Disgusting.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

Reading your comment comes off as ironic since it is you saying it.

[Popoffboy187718]

The name alone tells the tell lol! JuSt wow!!!

[CaptainPunch]

Pre-ordered my PS4 today 😏

[PirateThom]

Why would anyone trust a company that blatantly lies to you, repeatedly?

[Action GO FIGURE]

But the Cloud Processing!

[evilhasitsway]

no they haven't now they want to change stuff in the system like 5months before release. if you change stuff on the system now how will it effect the system at launch are we gonna get another repeat of the 360 red ring of death all the time...... ill pass ps4 here I come.

[Theyellowflash30]

No, cause the console is still $499.99 that plays games that could be easily done on the PS3 and Xbox 360. And they killed Killer Instinct....free-to-play fighter? WTF why?!

Ryse quick time event combat? Where is the innovation? Bayonetta 2 is more "next gen" then any of the games I say at Microsoft's press conference.

[horndog]

Nah! Theres a reason why they call them haters.

[FrigidDARKNESS]

NOpe, the haters are still on the prowl looking for new things to hate on.

[kewlkat007]

I doubt you can silence haters...Everything mentioned will be twisted negatively..or something else is always better, or will be....

It was DRM, now kinect, +$100, cloud integration sucks, console too big, theoretically less powerful, controller stinks, not exclusives they wanna play, don't like the color green...etc

[My_Outer_Heaven]

I don't agree with that article at all, so I had to comment on it on the actual site instead of on here.

If your wondering what I wrote I will post that on here too.

I don't hate Microsoft's Xbox One I just don't trust Microsoft as a console manufacturer. Trust is the major thing not just price of the console. Microsoft tried to hurt the gamer by enforcing DRM. Micsoft lie to consumers with fake demonstrations. Fake kinect demos... evidence online sugests the console reveal might of been fake from the start. People will pay more if they expect more out of it and right now Microsoft need to justify the $100 extra.

Kinect 2 with every system might be a reason for the price.. but I don't think anyone would buy a Kinect 2 separate for $100 if it wasn't mandatory. I don't think Kinect justify's the price especially when the hardware itself is less powerful than the cheaper PS4. The PS4 eye looks more promising to be honest, have you seen the tech demo for it? http://www.youtube.com/watc... & https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Lets break down the true cost of the console when you factor in everything you would expect to buy.

Xbox One console – $499
Two games ($60 each) – $120
Extra controller – $60
Xbox Live Gold (12 months) – $60
Total spend: $739
PS4 console – $399
PlayStation Eye – $60
Two games ($60 each) – $120
Extra controller – $60
PS+ (12 months) – $50
Total spend: $689

[thecowsaysmoo]

I think the ps4 come with ps+.

[BitbyDeath]

Xbone will also need a play/charge kit or a years worth of AA batteries. (since you went 12 months for online)

[thebudgetgamer]

Haters gonna hate.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

circlejerk

[ElementX]

All these new unknown websites are coming out of the woodwork

[Loki86]

The problem is these stupid opinion pieces keep getting approved and open up the door for all the trolls on this site.

[threefootwang]

Fix their reputation? They never had a good one to begin with.

[PFFT]

NOPE! They are called haters for a reason. They never stop, they are like cockroaches. Kill one only to have it multiply by the thousands.

[WaffleMaker92]

You didn't shut everyone up if im still here

[samekratos]

f**k'n noob's suck shut up!

[CPTN MITCHELL]

The only people hating are the xbox 360 players
