I’m addicted to Candy Crush Saga.
I can’t help it.
This game rules.
And it’s controlling my life.
Microsoft has pulled the plug on the whole DRM and always online requirement debacle lol!!!
I’m shocked. I thought for sure Microsoft would bully straight ahead. Apparently there was enough of an outcry and shockingly they listened.
Glad to hear it though. I’ve always preferred xbox to the ps. but I wasn’t gonna buy a new xbox if this went through. Not sure If I’m gonna buy either new system anyway but glad I feel like I have an option again.

Yeah, but sadly for them that wasn’t even the main reason why console buyers were gonna go for the PS4 anyway. It was merely one of many reasons.
Can someone give me one reason why purchasing the next Xbox would be a better option than purchasing the PS4? One legit, good reason.
My only gripe with the PS4 is their lack of Launch games compared to the X1. All the games I’m looking forward to (Destiny, FFVX, Diablo 3, GT6 a PS3 title that has no PS4 release, baffling considering it’s a system seller) all those games are coming out in 2014 with no specific date. So although I’ll def getting a PS4 over an X1, I’m probably going to wait a few months so their library grows.
So if there’s one good reason to get an X1, I’d say they have a somewhat decent launch lineup.

Isn’t that a facebook game? I think my friend plays that. Good for killing time those fb games. I used to play the casino games, I’m a blackjack nut!!
And also I remember playing this game called Airport City, I spent like 4 hours straight building and growing my airport and so I logged off thinking “of course my game progress is saved” right? NOT!!! I logged in the next day and all my hours of gaming never even existed, piece of crap didn’t save my progess! Pissed me off LOL!!
Fuck Airport City!

Shocked the fuck out of me as well. But their flip flop only makes em look like even bigger oafs for not going through with their original policies (as stupid as the were). Just shows they were wrong and they listened to their fanbase.

I’m not at all shocked but I agree that it only makes them look like even bigger “oafs”.
It shows how out of touch they are, if anything. The fact that they were going to implement something so fucking retarded completely sours them for me and makes it so I’m more sure than ever that I won’t be purchasing their console.
As far as launch titles go, most of the games are going to be available on both consoles. I don’t see any games on that list that would warrant getting an Xbox over a PS4 solely because of a game: http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_Games_vs_Xbox_One_Games
I also don’t see any reason to get an Xbox over a PS4 when considering the specs and price: http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_vs._Xbox_One_vs._Wii_U_Comparison_Chart
If Sony continues to allow free online gameplay, as well as the optional PS+ membership, and revamps PSN to the extent that they claim they are going to then that’s just another major reason to go for the PS4.
EDIT: And yeah, even though I’m clearly getting the PS4 I won’t be picking it up launch day. I’ll be waiting a few months as well.

Yeah, I stayed away from ALL games for a long time and they really held no interest for me. But then (a few months back) my wife got it on her phone and I was hooked (it’s a puzzle/match game much in the vein of Tetris or Dr. Mario or something).
I only play it on my PC (via FB). The worst part is it sends out these automatic notifications to everyone or puts updates on my FB page, letting the world know that I’m a flaming homosexual engrossed in some faggity ass candy game. “Gunnar just wrapped 55 striped candies!!!” Gee, thanks, Facebook. That’s really what I need on my tombstone. Never mind the fact that I’ve cured cancer and prevented like 5 major world wars . . . what I really want to be known for is making virtual chocolate pieces disappear from my computer screen.

I think they’ll look like oafs either way. They looked like greedy idiots when they came up with the DRM and so on. They finally got the message (shareholders) and gave the people what they wanted. But, as they reversed the drm and the 24 hour online checks, they completely took away a few things. You were originally able to install a game and be done with it, and allow 10 “family members” to use that content. That’s gone. So, while they got rid of the things people were against, they also gave the middle finger and got rid of things that they really didn’t need to get rid of. Pretty backhanded.
It’s a lose/lose situation though. They dug themselves the hole, kept digging, and were completely unsympathetic about it. It’s like they forgot how to sell a console somewhere after releasing the 360.

LMAOO!!! I really hate those notifications too. I usually delete them as soon as possible. Is there a way to turn them off completely? FUcking facebook.
And yea I totally agree with what Atom said. Also they could easily match the price of the PS4 by dropping the retarded Kinikt camera, but no, I don’t know why they’re forcing that on people.
As far as games go, games make fuel the system. You offer shit games and the console won’t be around for long. I’m willing to take Playstations exclusives over X1’s any day.
GT6 beats Forza
Uncharted beats Fable
LittleBigPlanet beats Gears of War
Halo beats Killzone (I’ll give em that. Halo is getting stale though)
That’s my opinion anyway. To each their own. At least it won’t be a landslide victory for the PS4. The Xbox fanboys are numerous though, they’ll support the X1 to no end, especially now that they flipflopped on the DRM thing. They probably pissed their pants with relief.
HAHA!
