How many times a year are you in the sticks where you can't get a connection and need to play Xbox?
Go get some fresh air
I do a lot of different work all across the board and the reason I happen to have to travel out to the sticks for the past five years was to take care of a very sick relative who just recently passed away. Now I have to travel out there to take care of the estate and figure out if I want to sell it or not, as well as to do some audio engineering work which makes the peaceful getaway an ideal place to get that kind of mentally intensive work done. Several other reasons. Point is, it happens a lot and even though it's less than before in the past couple of years - it's still an issue and it's more than 4 months a year. At a time. So it's a relatively good point in my opinion.
You're telling me to go get some fresh air but bro, I doubt you could last 4 months solid while having absolutely nothing around for an hour and having no sort of social interaction (because there are no people here I can socially relate to anyway) because it's a state park area. I own 15ish to 20ish acres of land outside of the estate and I am constantly outside, either hunting with my foxhound pup or fishing near the levee and decent bodies of water around. I get outside, but it gets old fucking quick man. That console is a fucking saint. That and a bottle of whiskey will save my sanity every so often.
Daezuel - "This is their new slogan. Introducing the new Xbox One, go get some fresh air!"
fucking lol.
I missed this truly retarded post when you changed your tone and point a bit.
Araysar - "one guy is bitching that he cant play video games when he is on a business trip, in the boonies, hauling his xbox around. thats what, like fucking 0.0001 of the population doing it 0.001 of the time?"
Uh, no. Look motherfucker. First of all I was completely rational when I even said I realize it doesn't revolve around me and my crazy unique scenario, but THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE. Second of all, it's more than a business trip - this is embedded into my lifestyle for months at a time. No shit I'm not a main portion of the gaming population with this problem, but I already addressed that point. Secondly, you mean to tell me you wouldn't care to play some video games in a 5 month span with nothing else to do? Stop talking right now because you know you're full of shit if you say you wouldn't give a fuck in the slightest. Maybe you can deal with the situation and embrace it, guess what? So can I, I'm a fucking adult and can appreciate a lot more in life than pixels and digital entertainment but that does not mean I should sacrifice it like a fucking scrub when it's completely needless to do so, so fuck off.
Oh, and on top of that I already added that I wouldn't mind in the least and I agree that the always on-line thing could be a cool feature if it simply fit into my current lifestyle. It doesn't. So far I have made zero complaints against what they are doing and giving no irrational or 'faux rage' towards anything they're doing. It's simply shitty that I have to give up my console of choice because of some of the new features. That's all I was saying.
And you think every valid complaint being brought into this argument against the always online feature is completely off the wall, never going to happen anywhere especially to you and BARELY happens to SOME people maybe once in a LIFETIME, ACT OF GOD kind of shit? You're insane. You've had 3 people post 3 valid issues, while I agree aren't super important in the big picture of Microsoft's profits, maybe but 3 issues already within 10 minutes of discussing the issue. Think of how many people truly are affected by this feature outside of this very tiny discussion that also include an endless amount of other 'insignificant' scenarios. Add that shit up. How's that for perspective?
