Kotaku: Xbox 720 online required to start up and play games!?
- Thread starter Hip-Hop-Bulls
- Start date
Breh, you cannot be serious.
The market is bigger than just us and people like us with good internet. How does having internet always on benefit people playing single player games and practice sessions?
There are still a bunch of people without internet access that play games, some of the people with net access is only through a phone.
Only possible reason that makes sense for this is for ad placement.
Companies are always complaining about DVR and people skipping commercials, I'm sure this is a tactic to insert ads, somehow, someway into your gaming experience, as they'll know for sure that someone is staring at a screen at that moment.
Then you'll find a way to rationalize paying for that as well.
So people are in an outcry for the market of people who this will impact
Listen, I don't even know if I'm going to get the next Xbox, I'm just saying that the people IN this thread who are complaining are not the people who should be complaining. It should be the people in Nowhere, South Dakota who don't have internet with valid gripes.
Yes I know everybody doesn't have the net, doesn't effect me at all, so I could care less. I might just take the bread for next gen and put it in my PC anyway.

You don't know that they're not complaining or not angry. You just know that they don't post on this board.

And also- because something doesn't affect you, you should say nothing?

No I'm not going to bytch and moan about this shyt needing to have an internet connection to play games when I play all of my games with an internet connection already.
I don't care if some farmer's kid can't play this next Xbox because they don't have internet... I really don't.
I don't plan on taking my Xbox with me for traveling (get a life), I don't plan on moving anytime soon where I would be without internet, (and if I did I could tether my phone's connection anyway), so really the only time hypothetically speaking where I wouldn't be able to play games on a 720 is if my power went out. And if my power went out, it wouldn't matter which console I had because nobody's playing shyt without power.

Nope, that's what your ps4 is gonna do
Sony wants a future of interactive advertising, patents transformation of ads into games

said what he said
So let's see:
wimpy: "don't like it, don't buy it"
GoldenGlove: "It won't affect me, why are y'all bytching?"
Both are extremely shytty arguments and pisspoor attempts at curbing valid discussion about this issue.
Principles, men. They exist.

nikka, how you gonna feel playin a campaign, in the middle of some intense fire fight and your ISP is having issues that day and your game goes OUT while you wait for your service to comeup. You start the game up again, go back into your solid state save, and pow again internet connection drops and you cant access your console. Or say you're router is acting up rebooting itself, and everytime it does so you get booted out of your game. Lets not act like this wont be pissing people off and become a big nuisance to gamers.

What happens when you cancel live and can no longer play every game you bought. Payin someone money to play a game you bought,
This shyt, is trash. 
I really don't care if it requires a internet connection or not but if it did they would have to convince me on how it actually helps consumers. I know things like cloud compute is a positive but it's not worth it yet. then again i thought broadband internet only was a reach at the time as well.

Funny that you mention that to him as it wasn't too long ago that he had router problems.
Lol @ backlogs being a saving grave during those periods. Yeah, cuz I really wanna push thru my backlog after buying a brand new game that I've been dying to play.

What makes you think everyone plays there games always online??
I dont think everyone do , but i always do. gaming would be dead for me if online wasn't available which is why i use my xbox over my ps3. with that said we should have the choice to go offline, unless there is a good reason for it.

What makes him think that everyone is willing to be patient with their single player campaign dropping constantly while they have network problems in their home? The horror stories that are going to come from this will be legendary but hopefully Microsoft is hearing the backlash and changing this because this is a death sentence for their gaming division.
