GS is a non issue, and that's coming from someone with over 250,000 with 100%.

Sony has trophies ms has gs. If u care that much about your gs carrying over then XB1 it is, despite its flaws.

I know you man thats why am like really shocked besides you gotta some long grind achievements there

got*

Yeah. XB1 policies were a wake up call to me. Its an addiction and I'm quitting it. Not cold turkey. But quitting just the same.

unfortunately GS is the only reason I play. I know thats sad to some people, but it adds so much to the game for me and I love it. XB1 all the way for me

Achievements are not enough for me to put up with piss poor decisions and consumer restricting policies.

To each his own. I think MS better hope that enough people care about achievements and/or don't care about getting bent over

B/C as it stands the only thing they have going for them AT ALL is the games they showcased at E3, which won't carry them for 10 years

But I don't begrudge anyone buying an XB1. I'm honestly relieved to have a reason to break my achievement addiction.

Good article matey. More time for great games than shovelware :)

That's kinda what I was thinkin'. It hit me this morning so I tried it and it was available. I took the gamertag on 360 too just for giggles.

Of course then I felt obliged to make a "goth" avatar for it. 1st I've used the avatar editor in ages lol.

death and life. its pretty cool. they're in love too. then they get divorced. bleh. hahahaha

Mr Completionist?

Nah, too cheesy. Too many gamertags already use a spin on completion too

Besides when I play PS4 I won't be bothering with trophies or completion. For fun only

Its liberating, hence why i had fun playing SO4 and no desire to grind the platinum (no idea how you managed to do it :))

I think LifeExpectancy and I are sharing the same brain lately or something, because I'm going to do the exact same thing when I switch over to Sony. Boosting no more.

PostCoital_High

^^ Trophies are lame

^Agree

Heh. I regged mine on PSN too, just in case.

Get out of my head Jim! (wait, am I channeling McCoy now?)

DeathExpectancy

It is funny how he can type in (somewhat) comprehensive sentences and yet make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

he has over 90,000 achievements? we got a badass on our hands :P

It's "cheevo's", and he fails at life.

Hold on guys, he is rated 9.5 on Hot or Not

Yeah, I never got the word Cheevos. It seems to mean either achievement or gamerscore, depending on the situation.

Depending on your retardedness you mean?

I've never figured out if his profile is trolling or serious. I mean short of massive head trauma who could actually think that way? lol

Someone who wears 55k MySpace friends as a badge of popularity - I haven't even heard the word "MySpace" in years!

Damn that sucks :(

Yeah kirkland u can

Lol just read that status. Should read "took the name" not "took the take".

My tag is still available - snagged it. PSN here I come!

What's the link to sign up? Too lazy to google it.

Seriously lol? I don't remember I just googled playstation network signup or something like that.

Still can't believe someone took my gamertag on PSN, as IF they could pretend to be ME.

I tried to get one that was similar to mine, but they were all taken. I had to settle for something completely different. At least it still has my first name in it though

You can't have a space in your tag???????? Fuck You Sony! lol, I found it, thanks LE

Just don't do one of those dumbass XxxvvxiSN1P3RixvvxxX ones lol. I abhor those.

Completely agree. Hopefully I'll be able to add all you guys on there when the time comes, and we can just do what we've been doing for years, just earn trophies instead.

I'm still slightly concerned as Sony has technically stated that DRM will be left up to the publishers, so there is that possibility.

I'm waiting at least a year even for ps4 though. No point in being a day1 adopter this gen, unless you want that oh-so-exclusive achievement, lol

Unfortunately what Sony didn't say is the $399 model is the low end one. There is also a $499 and a $599 model. Not sure the differences yet.

AFAIK the $399 has a 500gb hard drive and lacks the PS 'eye', but the HDD is same as Xbone and I'd rather not pay $100 for a kinect equivalent anyway.

And sorry but Quantum Break's "integrating the game into the TV show" etc sounds a LOT like the bullshit Defiance was feeding us pre-launch

Dude what about your Gs?

Achievements like that are exactly what's gonna cost me my 100%. No doubt will they do similar things with games.

It gonna be a shame to see you go. Not sure what you see in PS4 with mediocre games and shit online service, no party chat, no cross game chat...

All that stuff will be added to PS4. It's why they'll be charging people 60 dollars a year for online, just like MS does.

Honestly I so rarely use party chat on 360 anyway.. but ill still be gaming on my 360 until they shut off support for it.

At which point I will retire this gamertag. Possibly with 400k or 500k exactly depending on when support is shut down.

But I'm reverting to a silver account next spring. No more MP games except on free gold weekends.

So expect me to still be bitching here on TA for another 4-5 years ;-)

Same here. You know I'll continue to play and complete shitty games and then complain about it on here afterwards LMAO!

So because you don't like some of their policies no developers deserve your money? Sounds logical...

I thought the XB1 still had the "connection required" stipulation?

They don't deserve it if they go DRM, no.

They've never needed DRM to get my business. But if I don't have full control over a physical disc I buy, then I'm not buying it

So either I don't get one at all and they get nothing, or I pirate stuff amd they get nothing. End result is the same

Difference is becoming a new pirater is a louder form of protest than simply not buying.

But it also makes you a thief, whereas not buying one means your form of protest is to not play the games at all, which in my opinion is a better form of protest.

Even if everyone in TA abstained from buying the XB1, it probably wouldn't impact first year sales all that much. New gamers, plus kids that don't understand how...

I know and therein lies the rub. Casuals, parents, n kiddos have no idea the ramifications of all this.

...MS is giving them the shaft would buy into the hype on day one.

They are sheeple too distracted by the shiny object to realize what the demented farmer is doing behind them. PS4 is looking better and better every day...

PS4 is more or less doing the same thing man, other than "technically" not requiring you to connect to the internet to play offline games (for now)

They'll lose publisher support b/c the publishers will want the money train MS is creating for them if they don't follow suit. Just watch.

EMS - I would argue that MS/publishers are being thieves with bullshit policies that make SP games useless without an internet connection. Fight fire with fire.

They will only lose publisher support if the market goes in MS's favor - if Sony begins to get the upper hand and devs see MS's platform $ decline as a result of their...

...actions, then a shift would (and could) occur. Unfortunately that would take years to materialize, but then again I am not in a rush to give up my 360, so I will...

...patiently wait and see what happens.

Ergo - There is a different between copyright infringement and theft. Theft deprives the original owner of the item stolen. Taking a copy isn't...

especially when you had no intention of buying a copy in the first place.

I don't really have a problem with people pirating, but I'm also not a developer. I'm not worried about anything other gamers do as

long as they don't affect me. just my opinion i guess
