There weren't any witnesses to it. He mentions how when he chooses to steal from the mother, there are no witnesses to it so it won't effect his reputation.

You're right. I didn't mean you, explicitly. That was in general.

Well that's if you're looking at it like a gamer. As an family man/woman or an adult wanting more than games out of it, that marketing is effective.

It's just as much an "all-in-one" as the 360. Everything is just spec bumped.

...as big of a company Microsoft is, they can work and tweak and test as long as they want and crank out the production within months of the release. Everyone that big does it just the same.

Basically all of this.

Complaining about F2P games is silly. While some are just awful about microtransactions, most of them aren't and are really good games. And who are you to tell someone what's worth spending money on? All video games were once thought of to be not worthy of spending money on. Get off your high horse.

...no, not "every one of them" are. You seem to be confusing F2P in the broader sense with one design scenario, which is one type of F2P game. A F2P model explicitly means that you can play the game without having to pay anything, and those types of games still fall under that; but those specifically are designed to…

F2P games are built with the option to spend money. There are plenty that aren't built like you describe.

...you just said a whole lot of nothing. Made your arguments with the same basic premise as every other argument refuting motion control, and didn't even touch on the numerous other applications the Kinect has outside of (not even likely) "replacing your controller."

...and that's different from a f2p game how? If you're good at one, then you don't need to spend money.

The Kinect is a part of the Xbox One console. Not just an accessory.

Yeah my original post was way facetious. I know they're not actually doing that much. But I'm an engineer, so when it comes to software and programming I'm hella defensive. And I think this work should be more appreciated. lol.

Well let me rephrase it then: simulate real-world physics.

...kinda sad really, seeing as how this shit isn't at all easy. Graphic engines don't just get pulled out of their asses.

...and it's nothing at all wrong with that. They're usually pretty sweet.

I'm sorry Jason, but no, this stat isn't relevant to the gaming discussion. The market for higher end "luxury" devices isn't decided by the minority. If you're wanting look at the stats for bringing the next iteration of the Xbox to market then first, you look at how many consoles were sold. Then, you look at how many…

+1 because of course.

...then I misunderstand what you mean by "ethereal nonsense," since besides the odd characters (like the cinnamon bun, which given the premise of post-apocalyptic magic world that kinda explains itself) the cartoon is pretty standard "children's cartoon" stuff, in the exact same vein as Freakzaoid and Animaniacs.

It is, indeed.
