Wait, Xbox One doesn't work on SDTVs?

Ah, such a glorious video this was concerning the new consoles. You've pretty much nailed it on the head with everything that you have stated.
And this is why I won't be throwing my money at either PS4 or Xbone and stick to my trusty PC.

sure charlie brown, I can tell you what gaming is all about:
and there was, upon the 1980s, in the land of the crashed console industry, gamers biding their time, playing their macs by night, when lo, a plumber of japan came upon them, and the glow of his gray box shone round about him. The gamers were wary, but the plumber said "fear not, for unlike E.T. I bring you 8 bits of joy, which shall entertain all people. For onto you is marketed this day, in the land of wal-mart, a console: the NES. Go tell your friends the news! You can find the games at your rental store, behind the adult aisle. And suddenly there was, with the plumber, a multitude of mascots and consoles, for the home and handheld, and all gamers gathered together to sing in joy. "Glory be to console gaming, sans those who play consoles different from me"
...
see charlie brown? that's what gaming is all about.
Well if it's one thing the big three have done with the next-gen, it's totally validated my decision in 2009 to be an almost-exclusive PC gamer.
Also, is it just me, or would anyone else buy the hell out of "Dolphin Shaggers".

Personally I found that stupid as HDTV's either have most of the functions the Xbone boasts about either coming standard or readily available via cheap set-top boxes.
provided you also dedicate a little time each day to criticizing people who pick different methods of having the same good time, sure.erttheking said:
Honestly, I can't speak for how much of my opinion is nostalgia. I feel like an old man when I say things like "things were simpler. better in my day!" but alas, it's how I feel about the whole new console debacle. take my way of thinking with a grain of salt. XD
Not sure if it continues as usalxdiesp said:
Normal would be Console against Console and not Consoles against Gamers
Hmm...I was kinda hoping an episode like this would come out when the consoles were out. This just means people will pester Yahtzee to do an episode EXACTLY like this when they do.
Seems like this next gen needs a major reboot! Maybe for the exception of the ps4, sure it got a lot of shitty new features/innovation that nobody wants or need. But it's optional, all they have to do to salvage the situation is ignore the "new feature" like most of us will and just shoot for greats games.
Xbone and Wii U on the other hand seems like their problem it's hardwire at its core and it's not fixable. Nintendo's problem is a shitty gimmicky controller and M$'s problem is the entire console.
What M$ doesn't get is: despite we love some games that required a constant connection to enjoy like WoW, LoL and Starcraft 2. Those are games and not a console. Even if M$ got a game we really want to play that's also need to be always online, it still brings a bitter taste to our mouth they also forced us to be always on while playing super meat boy.
Just because we like our beer cold doesn't mean we like everything else cold, that's M$'s problem, they don't seem to respect freedom of choice.

I'm serious. If I had the time and resources, I'd design my own console, one like the gamecube and ps2. AKA without all the fucking bullshit that people don't need!
He also liked the fact that inFamous 2 decisively ended the series. Now, whoops, there's another one!Crazycat690 said:
I got a Xbox 360 with loads of games I still have to master, a playstation one for the good old nostalgia rush and a wii that play my fun fun gamecube games and lovely classics from the SNES & N64 days...
Yeah I starting to think I don't need anything new at this point, I love what I got!

I'm too lazy to make a full reply, so I'll C&P what I said in another topic:

But I think you all need to see this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G_f8YBy39M
It is about Used Games, and how very, very bad it is for all console Game-Makers. In fact, it makes Ben Croshaw look like a giant baka for thinking Used Games aren't hurting developers, or thinking: 'it's not that bad of a thing'.
In fact, It changed my mind on the topic. Please see the whole thing before replying.
And it the link doesn't work, then look for "The Devil's Halibut - Used Games" on youtube, It's by TotalHalibut.
