The first Xbox was released back in 2001, and then many turned onto the road that they continue to follow to this day. There are many fans of this console in the world, but even they could not hold back a sigh of disappointment after watching. I understand that everyone wants to make money. Normal desire. And Microsoft is so keen on this that it is even disgusting. And here are 15 reasons to hate the new Xbox.
1. Design
Xbox One- it's a new bullshit. So why was it made to look like a nineties VCR? For what? In the name of what? He is boring, he is unattractive, he is ugly. If Microsoft wanted to succeed, they had to start from the beginning - with design.
2. Component cables
Yeah, dude, the guys at Microsoft didn't think you were buying a TV less than once a year. Not everyone has a 3D HDTV. Of course, if you have one of the latest game consoles, then you also have an HDMI cable. And in general, you could think about component cables, right? Simple, classic. But now you have no choice. If you want an Xbox One, buy a new TV. Still want?
3. Kinect is required
You have no choice - you can't do without it. I'm sorry if you're playing in a small room. What for? We need a big room for games - and let everyone watch. Even if they are not very interested.
4. You can not change games
If you have a lot of games and want to trade with your friends, you can do it, but they have to pay. What a twist! If you bought a game and wanted to play it on another console, you can do so, but you will have to pay - and almost as much as for the game itself. Well done guys, good luck with your life.
5. It won't run previous Xbox 360 games
You didn't expect it, did you? We have nothing to please you, dude, we ourselves are very sorry. They won't. You will have to buy everything again. Greedy, greedy types from Microsoft!
6. Independent game developers
They are no longer allowed to publish games, unlike the situation with PS3 or Nintendo Wii. And even for PS4 you can. If Microsoft wants to do away with game consoles, then they have laid a solid foundation. Independent developers are real gamers. They are the soul computer games, without them, we would still be playing Nintendo 64.
7. You can connect to television - but it's over the top
Yes, you can watch TV through Xbox. It's a thrill to watch TV on half the screen and play on the other half of the screen, but something is missing here. If you don't have a DVR, the focus won't work. And who even has a video recorder at home? I have no. What for? I'm not in the apartments on the Cote d'Azur. Yes, and there is unlikely.
Oh you bastards! We, then, saved the world, and you give us this in return? Will the new Halo be released only for the new Xbox? Yes, you were absolutely stunned there? Hey dude, they were awesome there!
9. Fantasia: Music Evolved
Disney, of course, will be worse than Halo, but Fantasia: Music Evolved is also a highly anticipated game. And, you guessed it, it will also be released only for the new Xbox One. What an asshole Gates is.
10. Old games
It happens like this: bought, played enough - and what to do? Good option - cheap old game push. Or you could buy games in a thrift store. And what did our friends from Microsoft come up with? And here's what. If you buy a game from your hands, you will have to pay to play it on your Xbox "e. Some subs.
11. Price
500 bucks is the normal price for a gaming console in 2013. But before that, the usual price was 400 bucks - which means that they just threw another 3,000 rubles. PS4 will be cheaper and more games will be released - probably no point in convincing you which is better?
12. Headset won't fit
If you're happy with your old xbox headset and were thinking about using it with the new one, better sell it before it's completely depreciated because it won't fit. Microsoft decided to change the port. And more money again.
13. Kinect will always be on
It's just creepy. Of course, it's nice that the Xbox can be turned on with a voice command, but what else am I saying and want someone to hear? What if someone is listening to my kinect? This is paranoia, no?
14. Internet required
Not around the clock - but only once a day. Just like the old nanny, Microsoft will test you. Are they serious? And this is all on the wave of talk that even Skype is tapped? Hmm, our console must always be connected to the Internet, and also the kinect is always on. Wow. Just wow.
15. Microsoft doesn't change
Microsoft proved that despite all the changes in this world, they remain the same. Exactly the same. They try to benefit from everything, and first of all from gamers. I think in November, many of us will go over to the dark side of the force.
