Afraid about xbone 24hr online check up?

[Imaru]

Nah, boyo, you are naive to all of this. Games used to be single player with multi added on. When a game had to tell a story, had to transport you to another world, but this has all been lost on the younger generation. Sad.

And gladly, the COD franchise is running it's course, eventually it will die off as the market is so heavily saturated with these games now. I played them, from MW1 up, and the single player story mode was excellent. And I played that first, before I even logged into MP. By playing the single player first I knew the maps, I knew the guns, I knew the mechanics. I experienced the game as it was designed.

This. The Truth in that statement is astounding.

Games that tell a story of forgoten worlds, lands shaped by time, destinies cut from the fabric of the universe...

Shadow of the Colossus, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Fable, Alice Madness Returns, Fear, Dead Space, Prince of Persia....

If I could create a game.... I would create a whole universe (well a sector of it) Filled with hundreds of galaxies, races, technologies...

A game to me, sholud be a novel.

Sure I play CoD and sure I play the Halo multiplayer... but I own more games that I bought for the STORY then I do for the PVP or the Multiplayer. Because I guess, Im just an Old School kind of person. And im not even 22 yet.

For example, we take the Xbox to the cottage. There is no high-speed internet at the cottage.

I have had XBL Gold for 9 years. But after seeing Xbox dONE, I have Pre-ordered PS4 Launch Edition and Battlefield 4.

And According to Amazon, PS4 is currently 3:1 over Xbox One for pre-orders. And Pretty much every other game seller.

this here is probably the biggest con about xbone, that and also the used game stuff.

But i think something that will sooth my mind is with this online check up there are alot less things to worry about, and some of these things are really important.

Better Security ( we all know what happend with PS3 and the cyberschock) cyber crime is becoming bigger and i know ill Always be safer with microsoft.

Hacks,Mods,third party programs/hardware. what does 24hr checkup do to the F*ers?!?!

It stops them (this sets my mind at ease more than anything i can think of relating to gaming)
And we all know this stuff is going to get worse - already is

That is what will make me stick with Xbone, and since the games that i play the most/longest are online, whats the big deal?

all being said, both are looking strong in their own right IMO, i just might have a bias towards xbox because i am more familiar with it, and i just find the controller better to

Dont have to worry about something i will never expierience. Can you hear the bell tolling xcrement box fan boys? Your sub-standard system will be microsofts Titanic. save yourselves now,book passage on the PS4.

Pssst if your going to try and troll make sure that there isn't anything like this waiting for you as a reply

Please. this isn't the PS4s fault. it's Ubi softs fault. Much like trion is to blame for the game crashing bugs they've introduced.
I KNOW my Xbox360 only fails due to bad development from the companies.

Lets call this what it is and it's an UBI soft fail.

Pre-ordered Xbox1. Can't wait to play some of the great games coming out. I was on the fence a little, but I couldn't convince myself to move to Sony. It's just too alien to me at this point, and I'm not convinced Sony's infrastucture is as good as Microsoft's.
