Support NeoGAF

[Xerotwo]

Ironic, isn't it?

 

[Router]

I'm guessing this doesn't make up for their TLoU review?

 

[fvng]

Yes, a 7.5 (meaning "A great but flawed game;easily recommendable" according to their review guidelines) is a poor score.

I'm weary of wild deviations from the norm, like that. GAF has made me paranoid

 

[PapaJustify]

I guess Polygon's E3 interview with MS execs will be cancelled due to a "scheduling error" too, right?

No, they'll meet. But only the MS execs will leave the meeting again.

 

[Htown]

LOL these people need to seriously get out of their parents basements and get a life, it's a video game console for Christs sake........you'd think Microsoft was selling their daughter into the sex slave industry.

this post is truly pathetic

i honestly couldn't say it better. bravo. seriously.

 

[Baby Milo]

Just checked Google News; this has now hit The Wall Street Journal.

it's just Gaf guys(1%) no one else cares LOL

im glad this is taking off in the mainstream media

 

[Sloane_Ranger]

That was unexpected! Way to grow some balls Polygon!

 

[witness]

Finally, love it!

 

[VeryGooster]

Microsoft is married to business now. They don't have time for consumers anymore.

Did they ever?

 

[teiresias]

wut

Do you actually have a rebuttal to make?

 

[Nikodemos]

Microsoft's 10 June conference cancelled - confirmed?

*trollface.png*

 

[Nugg]

Great read. 7.5/10

 

[CrazyTank940]

What's that? Did someone say Citizen Kane somewhere in this thread?

Nah but seriously that was a good read.

 

[cyberheater]

LOL these people need to seriously get out of their parents basements and get a life, it's a video game console for Christs sake........you'd think Microsoft was selling their daughter into the sex slave industry.

If you're not passionate about video games. Why are you even posting on this forum?

 

[Violater]

That is all nice and fine.... but what I'm really waiting for is this:

Oooohhhhh, its gonna be legendary.

Wait why does he have the flayed man as his pic?

 

[dosh]

Well, damn.

 

[JonathanPower]

Just checked Google News; this has now hit The Wall Street Journal.

“This new generation of games,” as Microsoft describes it, is worth putting into context: It’s the final stage in the transition of video games from goods, sold as a physical object that you own, to services, delivered online in tandem with a disc you buy in a store.

You own an object, but you merely access a service.

Nice article, it pretty much nails it, you don't really own your games as you used to in the previous generations.

On my mobile so not ideal, but honestly someone should make a thread for this. Wall Street Journal is mainstream.

 

[Alebrije]

Wow. I will take it with a "grain of salt" , this could be just an strategy to gain reliability and then throw positive articles about Xbone after E3.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I'm weary of wild deviations from the norm, like that. GAF has made me paranoid

Spoiler warning: it always means nothing.

 

[BossLackey]

Hmm, I did not expect that from Polygon for numerous reasons.

 

[sTeLioSco]

I'm guessing this doesn't make up for their TLoU review?

no.....

a 7.5 for tlou is more important than the destruction of console gaming.

 

[DeadRockstar]

Polygon's seats to the MS presser just got re-allocated.

For real though, nice to see them(or Chris, at least) pushing back against Microsoft's policies.

 

[Phonomezer]

Do you actually have a rebuttal to make?

Yeah I did. Scroll back and recap.

 

[metalslimer]

Gaming journalism hasn't changed, nor are they standing up for gamers. This changes nothing as far as my attitude towards them.

There are big businesses out there that stand to lose money due to MS's next-gen policy, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that those companies are subsidizing this anti-MS campaign. Essentially, these gaming journos are switching from one pimp to another.

Well you know what the enemy of my enemy so go big business and take MS down.

 

[Ding-Ding]

Well wonders never cease!

Polygon just removed themselves from MS's arse. Breathe the free air boys

 

[Ouren]

Get ready for all of the fuckin' yang people are gonna be talking about the Xbone publicly.

 

[mcfrank]

Updated the OP.

 

[_Ryo_]

Damn. I'm dreaming, aren't I?

 

[Router]

Nice article, it pretty much nails it, you don't really own your games as you used to in the previous generations.

The transitional phase was always going to be a painful cluster fuck.

I wonder how we will look back at this in 10 years.

 

[amstradcpc]

Respect for been integral polygon.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Get ready for all of the fuckin' yang people are gonna be talking about the Xbone publicly.

But but but but it's just GAF and a minority that's hating on the Xbone

 

[Violater]

Great read. 7.5/10

Ho ho hooo

 

[Hot Coldman]

"I sure am glad we don't use discs any more!"

Probably.

 

[Red-Shift]

Did Polygon actually write an anti-Microsoft article?

What the fuck just happened? Did they change something in the Matrix?

It's a glitch!

 

[Kikujiro]

LOL these people need to seriously get out of their parents basements and get a life, it's a video game console for Christs sake........you'd think Microsoft was selling their daughter into the sex slave industry.

You need to get out of your parents basement and get a life, you're spending all your days defending a corporation on a gaming forum for Christ sake, it's like they own your life.

 

[Ouren]

But but but but it's just GAF and a minority that's hating on the Xbone

You seem to think that there's not an army of developers who don't believe that Xbone is damaging to the industry.

Who are you thinking of? Sure publishers would probably lose money in the long run when blocking used games, but unfortunately many of them don't realize that, so I don't think you are talking about them.

Are you referring to chains like Gamestop? Because I'm pretty sure they love this direction that Microsoft has chosen as it pretty much gives them an oligopoly on used games, with small independent stores and private transactions over ebay and the like being shut out.

Great read. 7.5/10

lol. polygon, respect.

 

[DyTonic]

If I'm getting deep discounts like on Steam idc about used games tbh..

 

[Savitar]

Wow, that actually WAS good, I'm shocked to see such a thing at that site of all places.

Sadly the writer is probably being berated by Gies if not being beaten by him right now with a bag of oranges.

 

[Hot Coldman]

edit: nvm

 

[Binabik15]

So fake Kaz really hooked them up with a comfy E3 room and some snacks, huh?

 

[JDSN]

If I'm getting deep discounts like on Steam idc about used games tbh..

It never ends...

 

[Deku Tree]

I agree. Great to see it in the news more and more.

 

[Freki]

Oh well? Not any companies problem. Pretty sure the underprivileged have bigger issues to concentrate on than the Xbox One.

That 599$ level denial right here...
Why don't you suggest that the underprivileged should just get two jobs while you are at it?

 

[AstroZombie]

Even Fox News has Shepard Smith.

 

[Loris146]

Now fix tlou review xD.

Anyway good article.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

let the shit storm continue! Yes!!!!
