I'll be pissed if Microsoft doesn't retroactively apply this feature to the 360's Kinect. It should be at least somewhat possible, right?

Also, new Games with Gold game. Defense Grid: The Awakening, an Xbox LIVE Arcade game released back in July 2010. Free to all Gold members until July 16. You stlll have to pay for all the DLC, though.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Japanese CEO of Microsoft says the Xbone won't get a Japanese release in 2013 because it's a "Tier 2 country", then asks the journalist interviewing him not to portray it negatively.

Quick reminder, he's saying this about his own country when the Xbox brand was already a laughing stock in Japan a fucking long time before the Xbone was revealed.

If they're the ones to finally manage to perfect a streamlined system where people are rewarded/punished for their actions online and that you'll always end up playing with the people you want to play with, then I will applaud them for that.

I hope you guys realize that a reputation system is just as exploitable by the griefers as anyone else, just as the 360's version was, and that directly linking it to the kinds of people you bump into online is literally the worst thing imaginable you could possibly do about it. Once you get exposed to negrep, it simply snowballs as it opens you up to more people who will continue to do it for no good reason, and before long you can be irreversably set up against nothing but griefers for the rest of the Xbone's life.

The whole system depends on the honesty of Microsoft's userbase, and we already know the majority of them is anything but. In that it has the capacity to punish the few honest, well-doing members of the community it has just as much as the people the system was aimed at, this is literally no better than their DRM plans pre-180 - it reeks of abhorrent short-sightedness, and if anything just entirely misses the point.

Yeah, that's the problem. I've been rated as one who quits early and aggressive behavior. For quitting early, mainly it's after a Halo match with horrible players that can't fucking play, so I just leave them to their shit so I don't get dragged down with them. As for aggressive behavior, I've improved over the past few years. It's mainly stress trying to get out from a hard day.

I don't know if that's right grounds for quitting or not. I mean, if they're not trying at all literally then yeah I guess. I only quit when someone spams a lot or uses a cheat.

I said if it was done right, then I'll fully support it, but I'm not expecting it to go that well. No console or game has managed to perfect the art of online filtering and I don't expect it to happen anytime soon, unless by some miracle, the XBone figures it out.

Then wouldn't you end up with the other people who were falsely accused anyways? :P

Also I totally believe you.
