When I heard that the software updates included things like cross-game party chat and 'friend online' pop-ups, I kind of died a little bit inside. As I swear those existed in 2005 on the 360...
Actually, one thing I enjoyed about the 360 (again another day one thing) was default profile settings for certain games such as Invert Y Axis for FPS (yeah I'm an N64 guy and aim was ALWAYS inverted) and setting the camera for racing games but on PS4 I have to set it manually for each game, which pisses me off.
However, I heard that the Xbone is also lacking that feature...
The explanation I've heard is that the PS4 came out a lot earlier than anyone expected. Apparently neither it nor the Xbone were actually meant to be released until later this year. Sony shocked everyone by ending up way ahead of schedule and Microsoft panicked because their console was nowhere near ready for release, so in their rush to get it on the shelves they released it with a half finished OS and a "we'll patch it later" attitude. There wasn't even a battery indicator for the controller until a couple of months ago. Just an utter mess all around.
They also released an update to show you the available free space right? I mean, seriously, I don't even know where to start. All I'm hoping is that they get their arse in gear and release some decent games.
I'm always an Xbox man but when M$ release a console double the size, double the weight, an external power brick and seemingly so far; low specs. One wonders what the fuck they are up to really.
The previous two Xboxes have been the most powerful of their generation. Seeems they really ballsed up big time.
The biggest issue with the system is that they took a "WE MUST REBUILD EVERY FEATURE FROM THE GROUND UP WITHOUT AN OUTLINE OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE SO WE CAN IMPROVE ON IT" approach. This is why certain things are/were missing. I mean, why couldn't they just look at the shit they started with, add to it, then improve everything as they went?
Oh god I forgot about the free space thing. Yeah, that wasn't there at launch either. It's also worth mentioning that the OS itself takes up nearly 100GB. Honestly there are just so many horrible design decisions and so much stuff missing even now. If someone sends you a voice message on the 360 you can't listen to it on the Bone. Seriously. A message comes up telling you to open it on the 360 instead. :wacko:
They really did need another year or two to iron this stuff out, and the console could have probably received a considerable spec bump in that time too. Such a waste.
Essentially what I am saying is that choosing between PS4 and Xbone is like choosing between an old fling you always hated who has put on suspenders and makeup to lure you into bed or your long-time partner who has recently been hit by a train, lost all their limbs and is suffering brain damage.
I went for stockings and make up.
Wow, what a long day. The Japanese guy we go to every year was there, and gave me and my friends huge discounts on a ton of stuff, he's an awesome awesome dude. He's even holding a set of Kingdom Hearts Keyblades for me until tomorrow, I'm so excited. :'D

Man, I almost got into an argument on the internet about this whole minimum wage change.
In short, increasing the minimum wage gradually is a good thing.

Well, passed out around 9:00, and I for some reason just woke up now at 4:03 am. And cannot get back to sleep. Well. Since I have the house to myself might record and finish off DOOM.
I passed out at 9 too, but still slept until 7. Fuck 4am man. :P
I could pretty much pass out right now.
I literally passed out once from being choked. It wasn't fun. Would not recommend.
:bounce:
You can almost smell the hangout rotting it's so dead.
Nope, that's just me.
