XBOX One is not only 100.00 more expensive, but it restricts used games, is region locked, (Can't stress how important that is to the core gamers out there who want import titles), and at the end of the day, you are still paying to play online, even to use any of your apps.

PS4 users will have to be paying to play online as well.

 

[Lion]

yeah that sucks.

i dont play online games though so idont care

Yes, I know that. But you also don't have to pay if you want to use your apps such as Netflix or Hulu Plus, whereas with Xbox you have to, even though you already pay a monthly subscription fee to those aforementioned services. Therefore, it makes no sense to have to pay microsoft a monthly fee for the privelege of watching Netflix on your 360, that you already pay a monthly fee to Netflix for, anyway.

You said yourself that you were going to get one eventually, so what's the difference?

the xbox seems like nothing but something that will bankrupt its users for charges left right and centre

 

[IliveForJuve]

I was actually thinking on the same thing but PS4 looks sooo good, I gotta get it

I'll get a PS4 some time next year that's fo sho. I'll wait a bit to save money (after buying that PC I'll be broke) and also for better titles.

Turn based Strategy.

Sort of-kind of like civilization with real time tactical battles. Probably the easiest way to put it.

Great games, everyone.

 

[Enron]

It's called Turn Based Strategy.

I was just stating a fact.

 

[Enron]

I still think the not lending games thing sucks.

It's turn based strategy with real time battles.

Sure. I'll compromise.

It does surprise me when people haven't games like that. Starcraft, Total War, the original Warcraft, etc.

Well, when you think about it, all Sony did was leave that up to the publishers. EA already does an online pass, so you can't hand off fifa to your friend and let him try it online.

The way XB1 is doing it will likely make it cheaper for publishers since restrictions like this are already in place and they don't have to build them into the titles themselves. More and more publishers will likely be using DRM in the future since they lose money through piracy and the used games market while Gamestop makes a fortune.

I've been playing the Total War series since the original, Shogun. Amazing games. I wish they would release my favorite, Medieval 2: Total War for the Mac. They have a Rome: Total War for the mac, and that plays well. But M2 was the best.

Gameplay from Bunjie's next masterpiece, 'Destiny'


It looks amazing.

I liked Medieval: Total War. I would always play as the Spanish or the Russians.

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

But did u play the second version? I read somewhere that the next total war will be medieval 3. I may have to but a pc just for that.
