NOt only because of that but…they know Halo is an exclusive and people love Halo over many other games. But that isn’t the entire reason…let me shed some light on why MS first time caring has me hooked on hte XB1 while sony doesn’t give a damn.
long read so please hang in there Baby.
The reason sony had so many problems with the whole hacking thing and costumers losing money and accounts is because of their game downloading policies. WHat would happen is that anyone could download any game you had but you had to trust them enough for them to give them your password and for them to go to your account and download it into their PS3.( most people of course changed their account for safety reasons like a normal person would)Sounds a little risky right…yes it was and PS3 paid for it.
SO MS did the same thing with anyone being able to download any games from your ccount but their is a bit of a catch…they have to be on your friends list for more that a month and need your permission to do so. Amazing. so instead of giving away your account info you. SO MS took a great feature from Sony’s design and made it better in the way that no one has to be in any danger while they play their game that they downloaded from a…supposed friend.
The restrictions of trading and gaming are totally fair. What MS has done is leave it to the Developers to decide if you can sell their games. Now if you tell me that is really awesome because it gives the Devs what they want…to reguate their game even more now. With this new restrictions Dev won’t fell like their games(their babies) aren’t being ripped off from them when people buy a game than later give them away. AKA taking money away from the DEVs and other companies to make future games. People haven’t realized it yet but places like game stop but not entirely kill small games because people just don’t care about the like Halo, Killzone, Battlefield, Ratchet and Clank, Gears of War and Star wars games…they just don’t. So instead of those young games just being flung out hte window they made it so they can charge you if you sell their games. Otherwise why in the world would people even make games for MS if they know people won’t get it…that means they know they won;t get money. no money means no sequel and no sequel means even less money. All they are doing is making a Game Console more friendly to Indies and Small company Devs.
24 or shutdown…dear lord this one is the thing that i was like…WHAAAAAAAAAAAT but like i said after the info i gather and the thoughts that i got i see that it too is to protect the fans.
Lets say someone breaks into your house while you are gone and steals all of your games and your PS4 now they have a -Yoinking!- PS four and your games to do whatever they want with them…now the XB1 lololololo NOPE!
If they steal yout XB1 they must -Yoinking!- play it for ever day and if they forget they get logged out and they can’t get back in. If they try to pawn it they have to give hte login/change it and if they don’t do they most likley the people at the pawn shop will know…this MF stole this. SO they caould catch that -Yoink- right htere and maybe you could get your Xbox back.
It is made to hurt robbers and it seems like it would do well and we all know that it just doesn;t blow up if you don’t lay it every day and if you have a cable box you might as well be using it every day because well if you play games you watch tv if you watch TV your xbox is one and if your xbox is on until 10 or 11 at night than you have until 11 PM to turn it back on…so let say you watch the news regualrly…than you don’t have a problem. Lets say you have a favorite show…than you won’t ,iss out and lets say you forget to turn on your XB1 because your boss was a -Yoink- and you had to stay at work all night. NOt confirmed but you can activate it from your phones) THe real end is that well all you have to do is go home and reactivate ait and use your account passwords to sign you back in. Let MS know it is you on that console and not someone trying to rob or who has robbed you.
NOw that only problem with this 24 hour things is that in a lightning storm and your internet get s cut off you can’t play…Well lets face it if their is a lightning storm going on you don’t need to be playing your xbox. Also the new xbox isn’t made for those offline games it is made strictly for Online XBL gamers. MS doesn’t care if the non-target customer hates it they care for us…the XBL gamers. Another downside to this is that…lets say you go over to someone house like on vacation and well they have no internet. When you get home just do what i said above and you are clear.
If there is anything that i have missed that got you all RAGE like how i was please tell me and let me soothe your path. We are all Halo fans and we are all brother/sisters in arms here so please no raging or pain to one and another okay. We all need to ensure that Sony’s we don’t give a damn policies aren’t for modern gaming. They sound great of course but small businesses will die from their decisions like they have done over the past 17 years.
My brother supports MS and the Xb1 from his old days as being a small time DEV and wants his DEV pals and Gals to be free to make the games that he knows will blow crappy things like COD out of the water…we just have to give them a chance.
One last thing…,i was a little confused about that Halo Teaser…it said the final title will be released later…did they mean Halo 6 or were they talking about the Halo Xbox one. I just thought it was a video saying that halo would be on the XB1 and not just the 360 and will the graphics be greatly improved because that teaser still looked like the HAlo 4 cut scenes. So Will this be the first halo that didn’t get a graphics update. Please can i get an assist here…going to Play some Halo 4!
