[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"]The MS situation is more akin to taking a beloved franchise that people love, and then completely casualizing and bastardizing it to the point where it bares very little resemblance to the original product. That's the type of move that makes people forgo buying the follow up, because they are unhappy of the changes, even if the company decides to go back to its roots. In fact a good example is the new dragon age. Dragon Age 2 left a bad taste in a lot of gamers' mouths and you can see the extra effort bioware went through to try and convince gamers that they had gone back to their roots. Some hardcore DA fans are still on the fence, waiting to see how it pans out before buying it. This is essentially what MS did.edidili

Your analogy is not great either. 

Bioware did release DA2 and did charge people for it. MS didn't. 

It would be like Bioware saying we're doing this and this with DA2, fans hate it, Bioware changes everything and removes what fans hated before the product is actually in the hands of the public.

Well, yeah that would be a better example, but I don't know of any real life examples where something like that occured, so the closest I could come up with was an example where there was an original product people loved, it was changed for the worst, and consumer confidence and trust was damaged.

Well if anything, PS3 era showed us that Sony has some of the most technically advanced programmers in the business. Sure, they're games may not look as good as PC games, but PC game developers have a pretty large resource pool when it comes to graphical and computational power. Sony devs were able to get amazing results in very limited hardware. Maybe this gen MS will show what Xbox devs can do.

[QUOTE="Merex760"][QUOTE="mems_1224"]Since E3 ended I've gone from about 80-20% in favor of the PS4 to about 60-40% if favor of the X1. Spartan070
All cause they just decided to give back what consumers should of had from the beginning? You're an easy one to impress.

Well yes, actually. They got rid of Twinkies. People raged. Twinkies came back. Is everyone supposed to be still upset they originally got rid of Twinkies? Hell no it's about the now and NOW we have Twinkies and no screwed up MS policies.

Terrible analogy. Taking away twinkies was a matter of people missing a product they loved sort of like if a video games sequel gets canceled. People want it, they beg for it, so when it's released, they are happy and buy it and play it and are appreciative of the company.

I'm glad MS is doing this. MS was really annoying me with how vague and uninformative they were being regarding their system and that's the main reason why they got such horrible press in the first place. This may seem like redundant information, but hey, the more they do to clarify the better. I'm glad MS is releasing this poster.

It's funny how many people in this thread lack the ability to think outside of stereotypes.

Yo, dont over think it...its a simple factual question. I personally have never seen a hot feminist, but then again, its not like I know a lot of them or know where they hang out, so my experience is limited.

I just hope MS picks up and does well, cause so far they've been fumbling around.

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"]Awesome, lets spend more time and money bombing brown people. Rattlesnake_8
and less money on helping our own people, less money to improve health care, education and less money to help the starving and homeless - which there are a large amount of in the US.

That's something that has always scared me about the US general public. People will literally fight tooth and nail against any notion of helping their fellow man. I think its a consequence from the years of communism. If anything even remotely sounds to have some basis in Socialism (which a lot of Americans seem to think is the exact same thing as communism) it is automatically rejected and labeled as being bad. The thing that seperates us from wild animals is that we take care of our weak, we don't just leave them to die. That's why we have hospitals. So I dont see what is so horrible about people who are more fortunate, giving up some of their tax money to help people less fortunate. If I had to have some money removed from my pay check every month and that ensured that another human being somwhere else would get to live another day, that's money well spent. Someone's life is worth more than me getting a bit more money every month.

[QUOTE="killzowned24"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="The_Lipscomb"] Did they? I wasn't paying attention then.

Yup and it was a big shock for the Prime Minister. He was convinced he was easily going to get the vote.

The brits are just being pansies. They still agree that Assad did it.

To be honest, I think the Brits just dont wanna get involved in America's BS. They followed you guys to war with Afghanistan and Iraq, and that didnt end to well. I believe its more of a sense of growing anti-Americanism within British society. A lot of Brits feel like their country is being dragged around by the US, and they dont like that. During the Iraq/Afghanistan era with Blair, the UK was pretty much America's colony...doing whatever Bush wanted, and I believe that seeded a lot of distrust and dislike amongst the British public. And in an effort to do what the people want, the parliament voted against getting involved in another war that has no bearings on their national security.
