Can't even play singleplayer for free on X1.

[QUOTE="kingtito"][QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]

It's more of criticizing you, rather than defending him. But if I remember, Amazon is also a PC fan.

I know he's a PC fan. I'm just calling him out for the constant MS bashing while letting Sony skate on issue like the online pay to play.

He hasn't created 1 anti Sony thread yet page after page of his anti MS threads are here.

He's still acting like a major cow because frankly, PC fanboys have no reason to hate on MS this much. Most hermits have problems with all consoles and not just focusing on 1.

So he must bash both sides equally?  I understand it sucks being the one hit on, but if he has a valid point it's still valid even if he is only bashing MS.

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]See, this is why consolites should never comment about PC. 9 times out of ten what they say is incorrect like this above statement is incorrect. Not sure where you get your info, but look for a new source. I can play HL2 without and internet connection.lostrib

Come on man, we talk all the time. 

Actually, what you say is incorrect.

This is true - Half-Life 2 is unplayable from the installation media without a one time product activation over the internet.

People above me admit this too, and it is widely cited - including in the wikipedia entry for Half-Life 2. 

yeah, steam was a shit show when it first arrived...and now we all accept our Gaben overlord

Pretty much this...

One of my co-workers used to always have free internet because lived in an apartment complex where there was at least one bozo that was unsecured.  I guess you just take your console to starbucks or McDonalds or a hotel (not even go inside).

along with the TV?  Well i guess as long as you purchase stuff they can't complain

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"][QUOTE="psymon100"]

Yeah I know. Same as Half-Life 2 on PC.

That's my point, what does it matter that he only bashed one side?   I agree that it's probably not fair that just bashes MS, but that's life.  Just ignore his posts.

These are the things the PS4 has/can do that x1 can't.

1. Rent games for it.

2. Upgrade the internal HDD

3. Play games without internet connection

4. Comes with a mic

5. can be played without camera attached

6. Region Free

7. Buy used games without worry of used game fees

8. Costs $399

9. Has 8GB GDDR 5 RAM

10. 150% more GPU power

Even better, go to the hospital (which has wifi), find an empty waiting room with a TV and an HDMI connection and bingo!  Free TV, Free Wifi! 

Edited to add and FREE ELECTRICITY!

[QUOTE="kingtito"][QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]Then you haven't been around. There were a number of threads on it and gues what........I even commented in them saying it wasn't good that Sony was charging. :shock: AmazonTreeBoa

Are you serious? Like the threads you create haven't been beaten to death already BEFORE your threads are created?

You've made plently of threads son. I've read enough of your post to make my own determination about your faction status. No need to try and justify it. Your actions have spoke volumes and a couple of sentences bashing Sony isn't going to change anything son.

[QUOTE="menes777"]

[QUOTE="kingtito"] Doesn't have to be equal. Don't think i ever said that but find me 1 thread he created bashing Sony. Now find me all the threads he created bashing MS. Notice anything?lostrib

That's all good. I got you. I thought it was about how a lack of internet can restrict you from the single player components of games which was why I mentioned HL2. 

Anyway, Xbox One - I make no apologies for how it operates. A lack of offline play is a negative. 

Everyone must be a cow now because according to lemmings, anyone that doesn't like the Xbox One is a cow. 

PS4 is winning over Xbox One 81% to 12% on IGN.

PS4 is winning on Amazon 91% to 9%.

Gamefaqs is even more overwhelming than these results in favor of the PS4.

So basically being a cow doesn't necessarily mean being a fan of Sony.  Being a, "cow", just means that you have a brain.  Being a cow means that you don't bend over and take it in the a**.  Being a cow means that you have an ounce of common sense and can tell right from wrong.

I primarily play on PC.  By primarily, I mean that 99.9% of my game time is on PC.  I haven't turned on any of my consoles at my house in months.  When I do play my consoles, it's few and far between, I never consistently play them.  I play games on my PC every single day.  The only time I ever play console games is at my girlfriend's house and all she has is a SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii.  I've been buying a ton of GC, SNES and N64 games lately to play at her house.  I haven't played a Sony console in months but people still always call me a cow and I'm okay with that, because as far as I understand, being a cow just means you have a brain, are smart, have common sense, don't take it up the a** and know right from wrong.  It has nothing to do with Sony.

That's the way it works in general. Hate on one particular system, and you're that systems arch-enemy. Usual stuff.

I've seen this thread before.

the internet is required to bytch about the internet being required on the internet!

gawd!

what a rip!

[QUOTE="cakeorrdeath"]

Not sure about the rest of you but for me personally the internet has other uses besides activating Xbox games.

Amazingly I made the decision to purchase and pay for internet many many days before the xbox one was announced. 

menes777

That kind of goes along the lines of using the electricity for other things besides just for gaming.  Although with electricity you can make your own with a generator, not so much you can do if your ISP is unreachable or down (or the MS servers are down).  So my problem isn't having to pay for the internet but that if there is an issue with it there probably isn't jack you can do to fix it.

Thats not even the worst of it, you can get called a fanboy for not hating on something.

"omg, you're not spewing hyperbolic hate at that piece of plastic, you must be in love with it".

Source?

Oh god. What a disaster. :lol: At least the PS4 lets single players free.

Source?

The TC is correct that the Xbox One will not allow you into the single player components of games without an internet connection. Once activated, the connection could drop for up to 24hrs before lockdown.

Usually if you have the generator you have the fuel as well.

Also my argument point isn't about price.  It's about needing it at all.  You can't make your own ISP the same as you can electricity.
