My response to Bob and to a comment like this is simply, so what? And I am not being confrontational by saying that. So what if things like this give demographic A a woody for America. So what if it is fictionalized, I don't here people complaining about how historically accurate Selma...

"Great Performances" is subjective, and people who "deserve" recognition always get snubbed. What Bob is implying at the end of the video is simply ridiculous. The person you quoted was spot on. Bob posting that is just as racist as it would be to ACTUALLY snub actors because they were...

"Furthermore, as much as it pains me to recall scenes from the Prequels, since Stormtroopers are originally clones of Jango Fett, who is a Maori, the "white people master race" analogy from the Original Trilogy has already been undermined." I don't think anyone gives a crap about having a...

Lesson Learned: The internet has turned the world into a bunch of snarky d-bags who think they are the thought police. I swear the only reason twitter exists is to force idiots to apologize for speaking their mind in this day and age...

Who said it required always online. What I said was that a constant connection allows for updates at any time. So yeah, it works just like any other connected device. You and Jim are claiming that wanting a constant connection implies malice towards the customer from MS. That is complete BS...

No I am saying that multiplayer and DLC are aspects of games that REQUIRE an online connection. Neither of which has anything to do with MS. Because that is how they designed the device. No one forced anyone to buy it. The constant back and forth between the XBOX ONE and the network...

Since MS wanted to incorporate "the cloud" into gaming, presumably for a streaming service similar to PlaystationNow. And with the stated intent of using "the cloud" to offload processing allowing for a richer experience. The reasons as to why they wanted always online, are clear, stated, AND...

You do not "own" the game you bought. You "own" a license to play it. The disc is a physical license to play the game. If you sell the disc, you have sold the license. Same thing with a DVD, you don't "own" that movie(you are not legally allowed to copy it and sell the originals or the...

So what you are saying, in a nutshell, is that since YOU don't "need" the multiplayer aspect of always online, or needing to be online for the FULL game experience, then a company incorporating that into their system is definitely some sort of anti-consumer thing. Um, ok. Do you get furious...

Half of the games you play require an online connection to play properly. Seriously. While it is possible to play everything offline, you are not able to play 100% of pretty much any game released these days without a connection. Point being. There is a good reason for connectivity and it...

And when it launched neither of those two things were true. They wanted you to use the device, and they wanted a device connected to the network. There were some very good reasons for both.

Again, what they said was the XBOX ONE needed Kinect to be 100% functional. It was designed to use voice commands, facial recognition, etc. An HDTV is designed to display hi resolution content, that doesn't mean it won't play standard def content, just that the standard def stuff won't look as...

The results according to who? Game reviewers? "Industry" analysts? From a purely business standpoint, neither console is lighting the world on fire, and that would be because "next-gen" was not as impressive as it was made out to be, and developers were not ready to stop what they were doing...

I did not say it was the only way, what I did was ask a rhetorical question, something you kind of missed. My point was exactly what you said, there is nothing forcing you to use the device, or buy a system that charges for the device. What MS said was that they system was designed to work...

If you have spotty internet connection then maybe next gen is not for you. And I am sorry but these claims about the whole thing being some kind of EA level DRM control is ridiculous. In order to do just about anything that involves multi-media, and a lot of features available to games, I need...
