The average person doesn’t care about a disc drive. But I still do. For instance, my XB1 being able toplay 4K discs (and CD audio) is the reason why the PS4 is on the basement telly and the XB1 in the living room.

I think it looks rad, lol, why is it so cool to hate on things on the internet

Yea, the drive is definitely not “tacked on” as in they were an afterthought. I think the reason it looks like this is to minimize the internal and even external differences of the version with and without the disk, to simplify manufacturing. It kind of looks like the only difference between the two from a…

Hot take about 2027, gotcha.

Boooooooo. It looks like they put some effort into how it looks! The XBSX looks like a wastebasket to me, and people seem to love how it looks. When did everyone decide “it looks boring” was good again?

Luke, had to say you’re wrong but you are. That thing looks amazing. While the new Xbox looks like a HTPC hooked up to your TV, this looks like something from the future. Or bubble-era Japan. Either way, I am all for it!

Hell yeah! My console collection has enough boring black boxes in it. This shit is many things, but boring isn’t one of them.

Agreed. I’m on board, and, like every other console I’ve had, I’ll hardly notice what it looks like after the first month.

For as long as there has been man, there has been a singular goal above all others.

Or do away with the entire “strikes” thing altogether.

Gee, if we only had functional Legislative and Executive branches of our federal government, we might be able to change this 22-year-old law regulating the internet that was written before 99% of people were on the internet.

Sorry, I hear the acronym RIAA and my blood starts boiling. It happens when I hear any record companies or DMCA too, and i’m not even a content creator. I’m kind of sick of how the cyclical game of “fuck you, don’t use my music; fuck you artist, this music belongs to me now” record companies get away with.

The villager is also pretty close.

damn, that Isabelle is on point.

Oh god, I miss strict permission decks so much.  Or combos backed by heavy permission (Trix, Oath).  

Apologize in advance as not sure how to approach this without sounding like I’m mansplaining, and can’t think of how to do this without it being a novella. This stuff is really messy, so will probably not explain it well.

As someone who works in the video game industry I would like to point out that not buying a game doesn’t really mater as much as buying one when it comes to criticism. If you buy a game then you have a little more clout because you are a customer.

I think buying a game and then heading to your local social network to…

I think as long as it doesn’t play like shit, Tony Hawk is gonna be a huge seller. I was 14 when the first one came out and that game was up there with Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid in terms of impact and popularity on the Playstation. If it plays like shit it will probably still do well, but if word gets out…

I feel like this appeals more to people in their late 30s early 40s.
-signed someone in that demo that played the shit out of THPS1/2 with my similarly aged friends.

I don’t think most white people are racists. I think most white people don’t think about race because they don’t have to.
