The achievements for the Xbox One in general are fucking stupid, by the way. On the 360 and Windows 8, tgey have a cool little unique graphic, when the devs/pubs can actually be fucked designing them. On Xbox One? Literally just a fucking screenshot from the game in question. What the fuck?

I initially found this out from looking at the achievements some of the guys on my friend list have earned through Xbox One Smartglass. It's stupid and reeks of laziness. As if achievements weren't stupid enough already.

...You know, considering how stupidly easy it is to get some of those achievements, it's almost like they're putting in exactly as much effort into creating them as they expect you to exert in earning them now.

Doesn't the Xbone take a screencap of the moment you earn an achievement? Maybe that's what you're seeing there.

Even if that isn't the case, this is really up to the developers themselves to sort out - and for once, Microsoft isn't actually directly at fault.

It saves a video, not a screenshot. The image in the actual achievement is the same for all user.

EDIT: Just had another look at SmartGlass (since it's an ass and only lets you see the most recently unlocked achievements, or none if they haven't actually done anything in a while) and looked at the third guy I have on my friend list with an Xbox One. His most recent cheevs were in games other than Ryse and Dead Rising. And those cheevs were represented by a graphic, just with a larger width. So I guess I jumped the gun there, since I hadn't checked in ages.

I can't quite recall, but I'm pretty damn certain that Ryse was really lazy and used screenshots for its cheevs. Guess I'll look on the Xbox website sometime to be sure.

It turns out that, without actually disclosing that their promotion was paid for, that this is in fact completely illegal. In fact, in leaked emails Machinima even specifically asked people not to disclose the details of the promotion, and are now asking just the opposite of people, presumably for some quick damage control.

Microsoft, meanwhile, states that this had absolutely nothing to do with them. Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Boners have to pay $239.87 a year to play The Elder Scrolls Online. Now tell me again why you believe Gold hasn't become redundant?

ESO has a fucking subscription fee? And Bethesda honest to god expects people to buy into that shit nowadays? I forsee a follower in The Matrix Online's footsteps.

Fuck's sake. Just making a new Scrolls with drop-in/out multiplayer would've been enough.

Anyone that pays full price for Gold is a sucker.

Right now Amazon is running a promotion for 40 bucks for a year, every black friday stores charge about 10-15 bucks for the 3 month cards (still ends up to be 60 a year here but you can still get the lower rate on gold instead of the /stupid/ amount they charge for live monthly.)

Also, in the past they've waived the Gold requirement for MMOs, and with PSPlus announcing the same for this title I don't doubt XB will change pace.

As for redundancy: Why get an XB over a PS? Exclusives, many of which you will want to play online, so you need gold. If you just pay for gold for access to netflix you're an even bigger sucker if you can't afford a chromecast or something else that can get that shit on the big screen.

(Also that subscription fee will kill ESO)

Every major Xbone announcement for the year has been leaked. Every single one of them.

Quote:
 
- Forza Horizon: "Fall 2014, probably September. Super sexy weather system and... shit tons of co-op/social stuff. 1080P and open-world, so you can road trip with your bros."
- White Xbone incoming.
- Why all the leaks? Scared you might get caught? "I am incapable of fear. Plus, this is such exciting stuff, and me talking about it ahead of time isn't going to hurt anything, truthfully. We're all chomping at the bit for it to come out. This is not bad. "
- Halo Anniversary 2 will be 1080p, iffy on the 60fps, maybe not.
- Quantum Break is Holiday 2014
- Multiplayer confirmed for HA2, same devs as Halo Anniversary.
- Sunset Overdrive is Fall 2014
- Is not Phil Spencer
- Black Tusk cancelled project was called "Shangheist." May have involved stealing stuff from the Chinese (though I think that may have been a reference to the name and maybe not the gameplay? Not sure...)
- Fable Legends is Summer 2015
- Halo 2 Anniversary includes beta for Halo 5
- Gears of War will probably need a 2.5 year dev time.
- First Titanfall DLC is 45 days from release, then another one 120 days from release.
- No Crackdown 3 news this year most likely, since it's a 2016 title.
- A list w/dates of the rest of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 countries that Xbone will release in this year.
- No info/idea on what Rare's up to, sadly.
- $399 XB1 this year? "Maybe one without an Optical Disc Drive."
- White Console plus Sunset Overdrive and a fancy ass controller in October
- Also a limited edition 1TB box after that in November.
