Why the hell did that thing get so many likes? Are the people that oblivious as well?

I think they only liked that, because that fake Spawn (who's Spider Man to be precise), is in the picture. Which is plain stupid, IMO.


Fear me.

So, black-suited Spiderman is now being confused for Spawn?  Fail.

Also, the ride.  It never ends.

Apparently they backpedaled on their anti-indie policies as well just today.

Still not sure I want to jump into bed with them yet though, even if they're now allowing self publishing. It's a nice gesture for sure, especially with the promise that eventually all their consoles will be dev kits in some way. However, we know Microsoft never intended to do this to begin with so I have to wonder how supportive they actually are or if this promise will be followed through.

I still don't trust them.

I'll never jump into bed with Microsoft, let alone have them take my virginity by purchasing a Xbox One!

If there's one thing I like about the Xbone, it's the controller. It feels nice, and the DPad doesn't suck.

That's pretty much it, though.

I wouldn't.  The fans bitched and Microsoft didn't care.  Microsoft got up and told the world that they are expected to give up their rights to packaged products simply because Microsoft says so, without offering any real benefit to the end user (as actual digital platforms on the PC do).  Microsoft is only backing down now because the collective might of their competition and the news media forced their hand.  The moment the rest of the world stops breathing down their neck, what stops them from pulling this crap again?

Not that Sony and Nintendo don't have their own iron-fisted moments, but the sheer scope of the "FU" that Microsoft was preparing with the XBOne was unprecedented.  The practices they were putting into place were long held as questionable for even an individual game; to base an entire platform on that was ludicrous.

Its too late for me. First impressions are EVERYTHING, and they blew it. I already decided on PS4, which is also better and cheaper.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Yeah, same here.  I don't care for Sony cramming social media into everything, but at least they made a damn good first impression with the console itself.

...You know, once they actually showed the damn thing, that is.

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

Well, actually, I was talking from the developer point of of view. I don't know if I want to publish any games on the Xbox One being an indie developer.

Somehow, this strikes me as relevant:

I actually did play the game. Well, I played Super, not Arcade Edition.

I remembered at the last second that he did, in fact, boast that attire. -u-'

But how it appears in PxZ still seems... off to me. Probably because I hate how he's drawn there.

I highly doubt anyone on eBay would buy one unless they really enjoy helmet touch. XD

Let's prepare a landfill for this travesty of a gaming console right next to the E.T. cartridges and pretend it never existed.

How wasteful.

I propose they get shot out into space.

Too much money, why don't we just donate them to Mythbusters for experiment fodder.
