Gamer Guy with Two Cents

I literally found this out as soon as I finished the weapon guide I just posted. Microsoft's Don Mattrick has announced that the Xbox One will no longer require an internet connection to play offline Xbox One games and they have also taken a reversed stance on their used games policy. In an article from Xbox Wire, written by Don Mattrick. Microsoft has listened to the community and how gamers felt about the always-online and used games policy. They have taken a reversed stance on these policies. This is what their new policies are. An Internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One Games-  According to the article the system will work like it does on the Xbox 360. " After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360."  Tr...

Hello everyone and welcome to another one of my Black Ops 2 Weapon Guides. Today we're going to be going over the 2nd available LMG. The QBB LSW. Weapon Profile The QBB LSW is known as the QBB-95 LSW. The QBB-95 LSW originates from the People's Republic of China that has been in service since 1997 to this date. The QBB-95 entered production in 1995 and is still in production today.

The QBB is built with a longer and heavier barrel that allows sustained firing, the weapon is manufactured by Norinco for the People's Liberation Army, the armed forces of the People's Republic of China. Weapon Performance In game, the QBB is a low d...

Good morning everyone. Playstation CEO Jack Tretton in an interview with Bloomberg TV was discussing the Playstation 4 and why it is a consumer-focused machine. It will not restrict the use of used games, require users to connect to the internet once a day. In the interview, Jack Tretton states... "We're most concerned about the consumer and we really appeal to consumers on a worldwide basis, and I think in the United States, we realize there's a high degree of broadband adoption, but we're in a lot of countries where people don't have the ability to connect on a daily basis and we want to appeal to consumers worldwide." When the subject came to the used games, Tretton said the ability to freely share titles with friends or to resell them to retailers creates value for the initial purchase. If this flexibility were to be taken away, consumers would be less likely to buy games, he said. "The other thing as it relates to the ownership of t...

Oh boy, here we go again. Cliff Bleszinski is at it again. Last week many of you might recall how I covered a story how Cliffy B. Was claiming that the PS4 is doomed to fail due to the used-games policy. "You cannot have game and marketing budgets this high while also having used and rental games existing. The numbers do not work people,"  Well he continued to go on and say... "I'd bet Sony has some similar stuff up their sleeves they're just playing on the internet outrage for free PR. You're all being played!" I do kind of agree with Cliff. To a degree Sony is playing on the negative PR Microsoft is getting from the gamers to become very popular, but one thing that he needs to realize is that a lot of people live on a budget, they cannot always afford to buy the latest video game that has just been released so stop condemning Sony for approaching the used-games policy differently than Microsoft. The key differences between the X...

Here's some decent info this time. A recent rumor was spreading that if you are banned on the Xbox One, you lose all the licenses to any games that are tied to your account. This rumor had actually came by through a tweet from Xbox Support on Twitter. Xbox Support replied to a tweet stating... " If your account is banned, you also forfeit the licenses to any games that have licenses tied to it as listed  in the ToU" Originally this was supposed to be the case for banned users of the Xbox One, however in an interview with Major Nelson. Nelson was asked about the this subject in an interview, he was asked about this subject. "If someone is banned or not will they lose access to the games they have purchased?" Which Nelson replied... " Absolutely not! You will always have access to the games you have purchased." ______________________________________________________ I had actually seen a photo of this on some of the website...

I'm just going to jump into this story here... In an article on the NavyTimes.com , Navy Lieutenant Scott Metcalf was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Xbox One. Now he's not even sure if he'll buy one. Gaming is actually a big part of military downtime, the Xbox 360 is actually pretty popular with the military, but when it came to the DRM policies of  Xbox One the Lieutenant called these policies a "showstopper" for any service member who rely on their Xbox for off-duty diversions downrange, in the field, or at sea. Aboard a ship or overseas, military members might not be able to play their next gen console. "With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection," An Xbox spokesperson told Military Times. What are the troops not ...
