  1. Another easy mode Ninja Gaiden. Zero interest.
  2. There's a lot more like this. I've just given up on posting them here because it's primarily devolved into sharing basketball pictures all the time.

    Xbone

    I absolutely love that Xbone is pushing Witcher 3 as hard as they can. But Poland's not even a supported country. Also, Duro, you're stupid. If you're watching some famous guy selling video games, who punches out everyone who is a fan of him that buys a game from him, you don't go up to him to buy a game and think 'well, this doesn't effect me because my brain is in my ass.' You go on the internet and complain about how he's a douchebag. And then revel in the fact everyone is agreeing with you for a change of pace.

    So far, Microsoft has made themselves out to be idiots. EA is obsessed with sports. Battlefront 3. Battlefield 4. Titanfall. Hilarity like this:

    Watchmen was garbage. Why the fuck make Manhattan a frame up, and have him say his final, most important line, to someone it means literally nothing to?

    I never said anything about entitlement, nor am I mad over any such reason, and you're you're not entitled to make such half-baked assumptions in the first place. Stupidity flat out pisses me the fuck off and Xbone is basically an extra large box of it. Sure, I don't have to buy it. Doesn't make it exist any less, though. And everyone is talking about it everywhere I go, it's like being reminded Capcom exists hourlFUCKING CAPCOM SUCK ASS SO BAD HNNNNGH (i also like how you guys couldn't even tell i didn't write it when it was signed by name that wasn't Magnus, and if it was signed, it still wouldn't have been me since I don't sign my own work.)
  10. Microsoft convinced me to buy this.

    I think it's just easier to call Duro an idiot, though. 360 still tops PS3 in hardware and I'll have that written on my tombstone, but PS4 demolished Xbone without even doing a presentation in terms of hardware, just for the fact it won't have a mandatory camera. Forget that they ditched the garbage cell processor, and have superior RAM. Hell, even WiiU is doing better at this point, just for the sake I have the option to play offline and have my damn privacy still, even if the games are shit. I'M STILL MAD AS HELL IF YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT OUT Trying to figure out what they meant by 'water cooler.' Do they want Xbone in offices for people to talk around or what even.

    Alright, if you’re a consumer and you’re considering picking up the new Xbox One console, then please, take a moment to listen to me. Before we begin, no, I am not a fanboy or a hater. I have no console Bias. I have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and a Gaming PC. Each has their pros and cons but now onto business. DO NOT BUY AN XBOX ONE. Why? See the reasons below: Xbox Requires an internet connection. Here’s how it works: Every 24 hours your Xbox will try to connect to Microsoft’s servers for verification. If it is unable to connect, sucks to be you. You’re blocked from playing even single player games until it can connect. Source: http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-does-require-internet-connection-cant-play-o-509164109 Do you like renting games, lending them to a friend, or even borrowing them from a friend? No longer possible. Every Xbox One game you get must be registered to your Xbox live account to be played. After that point it will only work for you. No one else can use it unless they pay a fee. Essentially it works like this. You pick up a used Xbox One game from somewhere or someone, pop it into your console. The system verifies it’s been registered to your account. Uh-oh, it isn’t! In order to play it, you have to pay Microsoft a fee, which is currently slated to be full retail price. Doesn’t matter how scratched up it is or how cheap you got it at gamestop or from a friend. You aren’t just buying the physical copies anymore. You’re paying Microsoft for a LICENSE to be allowed to play that game. It is worth mentioning Microsoft is exploring ways for you to trade in and resell your used games. This is rumored to mean that you can sell your digital license to play the game (registration) back to microsoft, likely for microsoft points. You can then trade in the game at gamespot for some cash if you like. Either way, as it currently stands, the new owner would still have to pay a fee on top of the price of actually buying the physical copy. Source: http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-fee-for-buying-used-games-full-retail-price/ Is it worth mentioning that Microsoft if shafting Indie Developers as well? Where as on Playstation Network or (whatever the Wii has) Indie Developers can self publish their content easily. Playstation even encourages this. Microsoft however forces these Indie Devs to enter publishing deals with them to be allowed to market their content. You don’t go through them, you don’t get to sell what you developed. Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/22/indie-devs-cant-self-publish-on-xbox-one I’m not quite done yet! Now, I’m sure you heard a lot about “TV TV TV TV SPORTS TV TV SPORTS SPORTS TV.” Yes, the Xbox is slated to be able to stream live tv, live sports, etc. So let me ask you this. You obviously already have something like cable or DirecTV. Do you really want to shell out hundreds of dollars more and pay a monthly subscription fee to have another television provider? Yes, I said hundreds of dollars, and I don’t mean the cost of the console. To view live TV from the Xbox you are required to purchase ANOTHER separate device for it to work. Why would you even consider shelling out more money for something you already have anyway? Even if you didn’t, DirecTV is cheaper. Or you could even subscribe you Hulu.com and watch live tv on your computer. FOR MUCH CHEAPER. You essentially have to buy another cable box if you don’t have one. And if you do… what do you need the Xbox One for? Source: http://www.vg247.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-live-tv-available-in-us-only-at-launch-requires-separate-device/ So far we’ve discovered that the Xbox One is not really a gaming console, at least… not a consumer friendly gaming console. It’s being marketed as an all-in-one home entertainment system. Something to replace all of the other devices in your house. But there are drawbacks even to that. Put on your tin foil hats for this part folks. Take from it what you will, all I’ll say is… possibilities… The Xbox One’s features will not function unless the Kinect is plugged in and active. This is not an optional piece anymore. Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-will-not-function-without-kinect-attached So imagine your Kinect piece breaks? Tough luck, no more Xbox for you. But you know what’s worse? Pay attention, because this is important. The Kinect is always watching. Always listening. Even when the system is off. Yes. One of the ways to turn the system on is to audibly say: “Xbox On” while the system is off. The Kinect, which is always on, hears you and turns it on. Now this might seem like a cool feature, but did you know Microsoft patented a feature that would allow the Kinect’s camera (It’s no longer just a sensor, but a camera) to spy on you for the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America?) While they may not actually do this, it is actually possible for them to do this now. It has a camera, and a microphone. The Kinect is always on. It is ALWAYS listening, ALWAYS watching. An idea has been tossed around that by using this feature, it will allows game developers and movie produces to set a limited amount of how many people can be allowed to view the entertainment. So as a hypothetical example, you and three friends are watching a movie, which is the maximum allowed. A fourth friend enters the room and the Kinect’s sensor registers the fourth individual. The movie stops and you a prompted to pay a fee so that the extra individual may also view the film. Again, that is NOT currently the case, but these are the ideas currently being tossed around with the system’s current capabilities. Source for listening: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4352596/the-xbox-one-is-always-listening Source of spying: http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/139706-microsofts-new-kinect-patent-goes-big-brother-will-spy-on-you-for-the-mpaa Now, just two more things and I’ll be done here! This isn’t really a good or bad thing, but it’s annoying. It also explains how they can prevent you from playing a used game if you didn’t pay their fee. Xbox one no longer plays games off the discs, you HAVE to install them to the hard-drive in order to play them. I believe PS3 also has you do this (on a number of games but not always it seems), except that PS3 isn’t trying to Nickle and Dime you at every corner. It also seems according to this article there is something related to the Online portion at the beginning of this post. The option is there for Developers to require the Xbox to always be online to play their particular game. Well, it seems PC gamers and console gamers have one thing in common now… DRM. (At least pirates on PC can bypass DRM easily. Not an option for Consoles.) Source: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4352314/xbox-one-hard-drive-game-installs And last but not least, another annoyance… Xbox One will not be compatible with any and all current headsets. Nope, companies will either have to make new headsets altogether specifically for the Xbox One, and they have to adhere to what Microsoft wants. Look forward to price gouging. Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/22/xbox-one-incompatible-with-current-gaming-headsets Oh, one more thing… If you have an Xbox 360, don’t get rid of it. Why? Well if you want to keep playing your old 360 games you’ll need it. The Xbox One isn’t backwards compatible. At all. Not only that, but President of Microsoft’s Xbox Division Don Mattrick insults the very notion of backwards compatibility! He calls it: “Backwards thinking.” Source: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4350662/new-xbox-has-no-backwards-compatibilty Source of insult: http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/22/4355984/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-backwards-thinking-don-mattrick That is all I have to say currently folks, and I hope you took the time to read this far. I’ll conclude with the following… please… PLEASE do not buy this console. Paying for this supports greedy and anti-consumer business practices. Speak with your wallet, and pass up the Xbox One. No matter what games it might have that you want, even if they are exclusive. Do the right thing and make a statement. Refuse to be nickle and dimed like this. Refuse to be seen as a mindless consumer who will buy anything tossed to them. We won’t know much else until after E3, but as it stands now, the PS4 or a decent gaming PC is the best way to go. If you are willing to do so, please spread this post around. Liking is not even remotely necessary, but do please share it if you agree with and acknowledge what you’ve read here. The more people know, the fewer of them waste their money. Thank you, kindly. ~Dylan Jordan

    The lack of information is the point. You know why they call it Xbox One? Because it's got one game. Everything else is fucking media bullshit I couldn't give a fuck about, even if I taught that fuck to fly, pampered it its entire life, trained it to be given to Microsoft for a third console no matter how bad it got. BUT THAT FUCK WILL BE WITHHELD FOR THIS. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/407912/microsoft-confirms-pre-owned-fee-for-xbox-one/ http://i.imgur.com/mIWKy6C.png

    Tell Mangus he sounds like a pretty cool guy for doing my work for me.

    Attack on Titan

    Vore fans love it.
  17. They're the ones that ravaged Final Fantasy, though. Square's a jap company. I don't even.
  18. Machine for Pigs gives me scarepes.
  19. Your Mother likes to get lucky, apparently.
  20. Thoroughly sizzled. Still pessimistic, though. Just gotta wait for Capcom's big fuck you maneuver...
  21. If you don't see the point in complaining, you know absolutely nothing about Capcom after all this time and there's no hope in educating you in the matter.
  22. Another Capcom game we won't get, like Frontier, Portable 3rd, all those Megaman games, etc etc. And Japan's not even getting this one.
