Back in the day, I remember lots of talk about games to get easy achievements, who got theirs to X number the fastest, etc. I can't remember the last time I heard anything about Gamerscores.
And don't get me started on trophies :lol: - I've never even opened that screen. |

Some people don't care enough about the price difference. Some people prefer the Xbox controller. Some people enjoy the Xbox "culture" of things. Some people just don't like change. The $100 factor isn't as huge as people are making it out to be.

For what it's worth, I would also place lack of indie publishing well behind the following on Xbox's list of problems: - Less powerful than PS4 - Forced camera - Fewer proven first party studios - Two months of Don Mattrick speaking in public |

Yeah, the $100 isn't a big deal at all. It's actually the same or less than the PS3 launching at $500 and $600 back in the day. Plus, you get a Kinect, so it's actually not a bad price.

It's the other stuff that they really have no example of, an AI algorithm on the Forza 5 server to what? Actively race you or create a ghost or what? |

If your internet isn't always on, and the console isn't always powered on, then the Kinect isn't always on.

And that $500/$600 price for PS3 was justified by Blu-ray alone and it was STILL crazy expensive for a console and shot them in the foot. Kinect does not equal Blu-ray in the SLIGHTEST. |

He then basically bashed the shit out of the PS4 stating it was a sub-par system to the X1 and so on. I just thought the whole exchange was very interesting and it makes me wonder what all the Gamestop employees are telling the general public who shop there. |

He said that every game would have been tradeable by just signing over the license to another person when you are done with it. He made it seem like this could be done as much as you wanted to.

Is Johnny Dudebro the older brother of Jimmy Christmas?

re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
Are we still bandying about the "consumers fucked the brilliant Xbox One up" line? Oh MS, so sly. You get to fuck consumers in the ass and then tell them they're idiots for not accepting it, or at least requesting some lube.

re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
That's the reason why I avoid most of the Gamestops period. It's people like that that give them a bad name. There is only one I go to despite others close by and it's because the guy behind the counter is older than most I see at other branches. He carries on a sensible conversation and doesn't try to make himself into something he is not. Give all consoles a fair shake when you bring one up...he is a rarity.

You could have traded the games around through a retailer just as we do now.

I only frequent gamestop when I can trade rape them. :lol:

It's been years since I went to a GameStop, but the last thing I'd ever do is talk with an employee while there.

How many casual gamers would have bought the Wii at $500? How many skipped out on the Wii U due to the higher price? |

Man, you really need to stay in the PS4 circlejerk forum.
- Is the Xbox not $100 more, and is that not a problem? - Can you make a case for the Xbox having better hardware? - Do you really think forced Kinect is a great feature? - Are you seriously prepared to defend Don Mattrick? I'm sure it's been a hard couple of months to defend and fawn over every little thing MS does, but get some perspective man. |
