People have opinions on things in gaming that differ from the popular opinion. DEAL WITH IT.

I like turtlenecks. They are very nice.
Deal with it...
Fair enough. I wasn't suggesting that you were wrong, I just wanted to hear why you thought that. You make some very good points.Bludge said:This is the way i see it, deal with it.

How Exactly is itVibhor said:Piracy is OK
The consumer is ultimately responsible for the poor state of the early 360's. The 360 needed plenty of ventilation and required a much bigger case but who would buy a console the size of a modest bookshelf? The current slim gen of the 360 is the console it should always have been but the technology was not able to make it available without driving the cost up exponentially; which the average consumer wouldn't tolerate.Bludge said:For starters the fact that they pumped out the xbox 360 in a basically faulty state, i have owned 4 xbox's now, and 3 of them have red ringed under various errors, and i have no doubt that the current one will do the same at some point.GiantRaven said:I'm curious, how?Bludge said:Microsoft are killing gaming with their Xbox.
Deal with it.
The way they were designed were unbelievble, an idiot could have worked out that the airflow was insufficient and the dvd drive sat over the tiny GPU heatsink was a stupid idea.
Secondly, the fact that they charge a subscription fee to use their online services, in spite of the fact that the gamers themselves have to host the games on the internet connection they pay a seperate company for. This is bad enough on the xbox, but it was a joke when they tried to force the same subscription fees on pc gamers.
Thirdly, (And this one is just my outlook on things) they are turning games into chores and cashcows to milk money out of the parents of children. take the call of duty series for instance, my girlfriend paid god knows how much for modern warefare 2 for her son, and it takes over his life, he has to get all the unlocks, he has to prestige, it becomes a chore, not a game.
Then all of a sudden, black ops is out and its the same deal all over again, and it will be the same when the next Cod comes out in 6 months or whatever.
Now i know unlocks in a game like that are nothing new, but gaming seems to be designed with console kiddies in mind. DLC and special edition extras are another thing this console trend seems to be bring in as the norm, pay extra and you have an advantage, preorder the game and skip the first few levels etc.
I feel that microsoft probably have some sort of deal with the companies making these games, as the unlocks system pretty much ensures people will continue to pay microsofts extortionate live subscription fee.
I thing that over the last few years, pc gaming has taken a step backwards because of the consoles. I wouldnt have such a problem with the whole thing if it wasnt affecting pc gaming.
This is the way i see it, deal with it.
you can play steam games with no internet, but you need to have steam set to remember you. aslong as you're signed in when the internet goes out you can restart your computer and still be gaming.binnsyboy said:Steam is awesome aside from the fact it leaves you unable to game without an internet connection
Deal with it? What do you mean, it's the truth. The sun shines, the grass grows and MMOs should die in a hole of darkness. I think it's a law of physics or something.shaun1788 said:MMOs should all die in a hole of darkness

Sorry, that wasnt ment to sound agressive, was just inkeeping with the thread and making it known that the last portion of my post was just opinion as opposed to fact.GiantRaven said:Fair enough.

So you are saying that its ok to sell something that doesnt work as intended if the price is acceptable? and its not even the size of the case thats the issue. how much do you think using better thermal paste would cost? how about adding a couple of 60mm intake fans at the front of the case? or making adjusments to the heatsinks and shroud system? what about using a better system then the flimsy x-clamps? thats gonna drive the cost up exponentially is it?Nifty said:The consumer is ultimately responsible for the poor state of the early 360's.

Microsoft charge for a premium service, you get plenty of bang for your buck and from my experience a more stable service than PSN.
Microsoft aren't responsible for developers choosing the gamer to host their own multiplayer games.
Microsoft aren't responsible for Activision charging silly money for their games and how often they release DLC.
Microsoft aren't responsible for YOU buying your children games. I'm curious to know if your son is even old enough to be playing CoD games, in which case, you're at fault again.
They way you see it is skewed, deal with it.
You don't need a gold account to have access to DLC or the Xbox live arcade. The only thing you need a gold subscription for (that I know of) is the online multiplayer.Bludge said:i know microsoft arent responsible for what anyone charges for their games, and you missed the point again there. im saying that when dlc and whatnot is only available via a live gold account, it points towards companies being offered rewards to make sure people continue to pay their live subscriptions, or are forced to sign up if they want a certain DLC package.
