Waldorf and Statler Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Microsoft is like that old friend you used to love but now he's a bully so he brought you out to the school yard to teach you a lesson. As the fight is about to start you plead for him to change and to remember the good times and fun you used to have but blow after blow he reminds you of his new ideals and mission. And right after you're in a fetal position on the floor, piss all over your pants from the beat down, Microsoft comes running back and whispers in your ear how more Kinect means more Kinect Sports then breaks your teeth with one mighty kick.

Mister Jack Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 After that kind of ass whipping, you realize that Sony, that friend of yours who you ignored for a while because of how awkward he was, is actually starting to look like a much better friend in comparison, even if he's still kind of awkward.

Waldorf and Statler Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 And Nintendo, that slut you still kinda have the hots for, is in the other side of the school building letting everybody feel her up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I think that Dean was being rhetorical and suggesting that Nintendo games should be on other platforms while Nintendo consoles go away. And not asking who you want to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ah that's what TFG meant. I was confused a bit. "You just want Nintendo games on Xbox despite all the stuff you just stated?". TN understood what I said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I think I added a "do" in near the start and read it as a proper question. Still think Ninty would make a better friend though. You know MS would ditch your arse as soon as someone better came along to hang out with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it is still unclear whether the PS4 would do the same thing (in a different way). Still, it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think they're reading too much into it, if you go look at the actual source. It says it's designed to maintain a constant internet connection but nothing says that a connection is required. Also the context is important I think: where it's mentioned is when the document is talking about how the 720 will have different power states and remain in standby rather than being "off", and will update automatically while in standby, etc, so users don't have to wait for updates to install when they want to be playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'll hold off on any reasonable judgement until the revealing and E3. At the moment... I don't think there will be any sort of console war among folks like us. At least nothing anywhere as large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
