Besides, it can really spoil the mood then you're enjoying the beautiful world, and suddenly you hear a methalic voice: "Free stuff please!"
just got my three rings on red.... mine has just died
after 3 months
which is annoying because i still own my original xbox from launch day in the UK.. and that's WITH the thompson drive still purring nicely.
*mutters* stupid cheap peice of..... and shadowrun comes later today... there is NO god :-p
love my 360 though.
It's just the same old battle between console fans and big-rig fans, nothing more. Personally I avoid consoles specifically because I like complex games like MMO properties, not fighting games or racing games. And that's the rub... fans of the MMO in general are worried that in order to make money off 360 owners (or PS3, or whatever), they'll have to make 360 players competitive with PC owners in-game, and that almost always means dumbing things down in favor of the 360. Sorry, but it's true. Oblivion is a great example... that game could have been so much better if the interface wasn't tailored to console controllers.
TFLO (true fantasy live online) was going to change that, an MMO only built for a console [the orginal and bulky xbox]. Microsoft went backwards with the 360 by taking out the HD as standard, of course now... you can't even buy one without a HD since microsoft are phasing them out. (bunch of morons sometimes)
Level 5 are still annoyed Microsoft dumped them because it was taking "too long" and during the end of the beta phase.
So level 5, went over to sony, and they're the ones making "White Knight Story", which looks fantastic.
Oblivion for the 360 was nice, i just prefer the PC version because of the amount of mods and downloads... finally the water looks much better.

Hey guess what, xbox just annoucened that ALL warrenties are extended to 1 year, so give them a call, they will send you a box with shipping to them, fix it free, and you'll be all set with NO cost to you, when they fixed my xbox 1, they asked me if i owned a few games, and slipped the orgininal halo in there to "be nice" Microsoft is great w/ console support so call them Deplorable.vaedur
Microsoft found out the hard way, that when that happens, it takes too long because a consoles normal lifespan at the time of the xbox was 5 years. Of course the PS2, did kinda beat that format.
An MMO designed soley for a console, just wouldn't work.... microsofts next tactic was of course using FFXI, because it had already been formatted for the PS2. Not exactly a great choice by the time it was released.
I like my console, i just prefer FPS's on it and adventure games... i'm not into the whole MMO on a console, even if the new keyboard that fits into the controller looks kinda funky.
Microsoft still makes me laugh, i own the original Halo (only on xbox) and splinter cell (only on xbox), didn't take those franchises long to realise they can't make money if they're not multi-formatted. One went to PC, the other.. anyone who flashed money at them, (ubisoft at it's best)
Look at Blizzard, how do we make money on an MMO that not many have tried... make our game for the MAC too... genius.

I don't understand how the headset for the 360 will work. For other games to my knowledge it just works for everyone by default. This game is not like other games, the entire server all talking on the headset at the same time is not viable. Not to mention you really need a keyboard to type things in anyway, or you could never reply to PMs or compose mail in the mailbox. And if xbox 360 players are on the same servers as PC players, then the 360 players MUST have keyboards if they ever want to communicate with the other half of the population. I can't imagine how this all would work out.
Personally I don't like using head sets anyway. I don't prefer people to be talking to me and I don't like talking to other people while I want to sit down and play a game. I want to hear the sound and music. This game apparently will have 7.1 surround sound. I want to hear the game sounds, not low quality voice chat.
While I really like my 360, you won't find me playing AoC on it. PC graphics are just that much better and the controls really make a difference. Besides the game will be out 6 months before the console version is ready, not waiting that long to play.
If you don't have a keyboard, expect to get kicked from groups, some PC players won't play with console players and it is easy to tell if you can't type.
Second, you can insert a keyboard to your xbox and you can even buy one to have on your controller.
But the headset would probably be the most used communication, if you don't like to use the xbox 360 you can still communicate to PC users with either write, or you use your computers headset and use ventrilo or temspeak.
So don't tell me the 360 users can't play with the PC users :P
