I’m not the person that recently came back from a ban. Go ahead though and please continue.
I'm sorry, but that's not going to stick.

That's what I was vaguely pointing at. There is no need for alway online here, developers who are winning hearts and minds are doing much more with greater flexibility in the user experience. Always online hinders pick up and play, quick resume, fucks up menus, etc
I'm not going always online just so I can buy a fucking hat, and I plan to never group up. Give me interesting interactions in an online way, and let me turn it off.
It is only then that I will consider a new scarf. Everyone is planning for owning the market, and acting confused that a user base never materializes.

I just want assurances that they will fix this when they shut down the servers some day. Otherwise that content will be forever lost.I am surprised that anyone cares about this.

So are there people in your game world whether you co-op or not?
Like is it an MMO-lite like Destiny where you are on a server with a few people and there are "public events" and whatnot?

I refuse to buy any single-player or single-player capable game with this shit.
Anyone who thinks this is okay is a fucking idiot. It's not just about preservation, it's about whether or not fucking game you paid for works on any given day based on whether their servers are working and secure. It was bullshit when GT7, AC, Outsiders and all 3 Hitman games did it, it's bullshit now.
This was probably going to happen with or without Microsoft purchasing Zenimax, but you can bet top brass had no complaints about it.
Microsoft has been slowly implementing their DRM initiative into Xbox directly and indirectly. From 10 years ago, I knew throwing Mattrick under the bus was just for show. Making the platform hinge on Gamepass does enough of the trick, but the Series consoles in and of themselves, and the first party games that Microsoft releases on disc are borderline paperweights without online. People don't like acknowledging that even after the Xbox outage last year.

It seems that Xbox want to expand in countries like India and middle east but they think that everywhere is like america and they have constant internet access. Even in Europe there are places that internet is not always stable and you have here people claiming to understand their brand but can't see over their eye sight.

Exactly. Microsoft showed their hand when they were going to make the Xbone mandatory always online. It's clearly still their fucking end goal. They just learned they couldn't do it all at once and instead have to implement it slowly over time. It's the death of ownership by a thousand cuts.

Yep already has , there is people defending this shit 2 posts above yours.... This crap is a problem, especially on single player games.
Some pc games can get by this with hacks and cracks. No such thing for console games though. Thing is it shouldn't ever be a thing.
Remember the backlash XBone got for it at launch for "awlays online..xbox phone home"....guess they waited for a new generation of fanboys to be ok with it. Get people used to digital only and slide it in the backdoor when no one was looking.

Not the point. Say you want to play on steam deck, now you can't.... Wait until elder scrolls gets the gaas always online treatment. Its the day i say you don't get my money. and pirate that shit.
OR when servers get cut, as you know they will, you will be out of a game. As someone who has a 500+ game backlog, I don't always play games right away, sometimes years, decades later. I expect it to work on system it was bought for years later. Can't do that with always online single player.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I'm not going to pretend like I was going to play the game, because I wasn't. It looks bad. But I do not like this trend.

I think that could be easily removed at a later point with a final update patch before the onlines servers shutdown, as long as the patches are downloadabale of course.

Imagine you playing X game as solo then your internet drop out and you can't play the fucking game anymore. Who will defend this shit? Same happens with other games like Destiny and fucking sucks.

I don't deny it.
Why is there not many "furries" in video games these days?
Seems like Sony are the only ones pushing the envelope here for diversity. I mean recently when it comes to anthropomorphic characters all I can think of that came out recently are... Banjo Kazooie DLC for Smash Bros. Ultimate Sonic the Hedgehog and this furry chick from Ready Player...
I also hate woke culture.
And I'm an advocate of bringing sexy female character models in video games. I hate when games make females all masculine, ugly, and old. I don't want that shit in my video games + they don't sell well.
How important are faces to you in video games?
Is it enough to tolerate it even if the face is unpleasant, ugly or does not agree with you. I guess most of you would go for the band-aid fix and put a helmet or paper bag over it, examples Dark Souls and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion having pretty bad character creation, best hide it with a...

Huh, why does Crash 4 need always online?
It was a big deal last year, not this year, GAW! It's 2023, come on people!
GT7 was just a pioneer. A visionary. Ahead of the curve!So GT7 being always online wasn't a dumb decision after all, right?

All this does is ensure I'll only play it via Game Pass and will never purchase it. I'm not going to buy a product whose single player content will, by design, be a coaster in the future. Same reason I haven't bought GT7.
Anyone justifying this because "lulz who doesn't have the internet" doesn't have the mental capacity to understand why this level of DRM is shitty for the industry and consumers. Companies already have consumers by the balls with regards to copyright law, and yet there are people in here cheering for a future where you pay your money but can lose access at any time with no recourse. FOH.

Ideally you would just do it the way MHWorld did it. Whether you are playing single-player or not, you start your session online, and just make it so no one can join. That way you can easily ask others to join later on if you change your mind. But regardless, this game will be heavily geared with Arkane wanting co-op to be as seamless as possible, so whether or not I personally like that I can't play it offline, I get why they are doing it this way. Is my point.

Aren’t there a lot of games that do this nowadays? Used to piss me off but seems weird that it’s newsworthy at this point

They wear us down to accept and give in with the long game. Attrition. Apathy.
And remember when it all started with horse armor?

Most people were upset about it though. The people who already knew they were getting it were the most bummed because they know they'll likely not be able to play the $70 game in 6 years or whatever.

It really is incredible how it's easy to spot the shills.
Please let me know if I handwaved this with GT7 because I don't remember. I'll gladly eat crow if I did.

Some people like to be able to go back and play their games, 5/10/15 years down the road. Thats why this will always be a big deal.
. . .the people assuming folks are shilling for MS and Big Bidness - no one LIKES having to be constantly connected to a game such that a loss of connection will kill progress. You aren't dealing with drooling slaves to a corporation, but folks who realize the game has been up for years now and there's no going back.
Come on man. . .like what're you even defending here? At BEST the person you're defending has bad English and doesn't understand the weight of the words they are using. This:
- doesn't sound good whether you're talking about video games or not. At the very least they could have used code words ("Ugh, I hate how WOKE this cast looks"), but they just went in on the whole hog there.

If given a choice I'd probably stay quiet and accept the accusation of being a racist homophobe over a furry.
Also that poster's comments. Not cool.

I just feel like this battle is lost at this point. I didn’t buy the Xbox one precisely due to the messaging around “always online” or whatever - now it’s just how it is.
