Surely the same as every console. "Plug everything in. Go."

aCasualGamer3831d ago

And right there at the end... in 0,2 size Times New Roman... "by playing you agree with all our spying".

saladthieves3831d ago

At least there is a manual.

Today's games don't even come with a manual. I really miss opening a brand new game and smelling the booklet inside, followed by an intense period of looking at the inside pictures and contents...

Drewidian3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

@ aCasualGamer FYI Sony wouldn't be able to sell their console in the US if they didn't agree to the same policies that MS does so... yeah... And in case you forgot, yes you can unplug Kinect.

shoddy3831d ago

Don't forget to activate it online before use.

Blackdeath_6633831d ago

you can't place the console vertically. well that sucks no place for it on my desk. then again it was designed for the living room.

darthv723831d ago

that was like...one of the first things revealed when they were talking about it.

mark134uk3831d ago

i know they dropped the drm stuff but doesnt the xb1 still require you to plug it into the net for a one of download before you can use it?

djplonker3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

yeah day one patch to remove the Drm software although the hardware is still in there somewhere though!

HolyDuck3831d ago

I don't get why hardware is mentioned in your post?

djplonker3831d ago

because it is still hidden in there and all it would take is another patch to enable it...

software and hardware walk hand in hand!

darthv723831d ago

Didnt really know DRM came in flavors. software AND hardware.....

HolyDuck3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

@DJPlonker Ohhhh, you think DRM is a hardware thing... okay lol.

Edit - Microsoft must be patching the DRM's drivers... lol

Palaven3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

When it arrives I am gonna tear my Xbox One apart to find the demon DRM and rip it out. It'll be like an exorcism.

Patch that Microsoft!

djplonker3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

@holyduck (aka 2 bubbles)

Ok so how did the xbone know if you put a used game or a new game in then?

how were they going to block used games without being able to read if it has been used before?

"here you go"

DRM on purpose-built hardware

Many DRM schemes use encrypted media which requires purpose-built HARDWARE to hear or see the content. This appears to ensure that only licensed users (those with the hardware) can access the content. It additionally tries to protect a secret decryption key from the users of the system.

Godmars2903831d ago

"software and hardware walk hand in hand!"

No. More like Hardware is subservient to software. The whole thing with the cloud says that. The one time online registration says that.

That has always been MS's weakness and blindspot.

XB1_PS43831d ago

@Djplonker, that "DRM hardware" is all ready there, and is in the PS4 as well. They both read the disk to find out if it's a bootleg game, or the real thing.

mhunterjr3831d ago

Lol man they weren't using hardware to tell of a game was used. They were using the 24hr DRM check to make sure you were playing a game that you had previously registered. After you installed a game, you wouldn't need the disk anymore.

sigfredod3831d ago

yes it does, until you do it will have a giant paperweight on your living room

KillerByte233831d ago

The console requires the internet for a day one update which will take around 15-20 minutes depending on your internet connection.

after the update process you will be able to unplug the console from the internet and play offline

MizTv3831d ago

So if you don't have Internet you still won't be able to play?
If

N4GCB3831d ago

Yep, won't be able to play at all.

H0RSE3831d ago

The same thing is true with Steam on PC. There is an offline mode, but you initially need to register online. I don't see how this seems to be such a foreign concept to so many people...

WeAreLegion3831d ago

You have to actually download Steam from the Steam website though. You also have to download all the games. The difference is...that's on a computer.

toddybad3831d ago

Also the case with the PS4 I expect.

Everybody has the internet now so why does anybody even comment on stuff like internet required?

rainslacker3831d ago

For those that don't have the internet and can't comment about it perhaps?

n4rc3830d ago

Everyone is worried about other people all of a sudden.

I always found that funny..

MrPerfect8133830d ago

I never understood the big deal with internet required either. Is there some other way to get patches that i dont know about.

SignifiedSix913831d ago

Unless of course the games come with the patch on disc. Would be the sensible thing to do, you know?

Not everyone has internet xD

Thank god i do though :3

shaun mcwayne3831d ago

I usually dig out the controllers first, give them a good grip test.

dunno why, just do.

vikingland13831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

I agree, there's nothing quite like holding a brand new console/controller in your hands feeling the weight of it smelling it oh yeah! LOL.

BX813831d ago

Because you're a man Shaun Mcwayne..... because you're a man!

tigertom533831d ago

kinect has to be place no lower then .6 meters and now higher then 1.8 Meters. so around 2 and 6 feet. and stand back a little over 4 feet from the sensor...

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx2h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro10h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B8h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21838h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh7h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia7h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins8h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal7h ago

The first game was the best imo.

Hades 2 Is Already Fixing The First Game's Biggest Problems

Nacho_Z11h ago

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho5111h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise11h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel198910h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows9010h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

gerbintosh2h ago

Who haven't even played the game either

Inverno9h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA9h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
