Did I just get insulted by someone who plays gotham2 online? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot I was playing doom online before you had the internet.
Anyway, I don't think xbox live is so bad, I just don't think it's all that great. I don't think you should force people to pay for games online, I think that there are people out there who like to have more control of how much they pay in their hands, not in the hands of a company who dictates everything. I mean I pay around 15 bucks a month for the games I play online .
I understand why a game like everquest has a monthly fee, it costs a whole lot of money to keep it online. But you couldn't force me to pay for a game like gotham 2 when the game is hosted off of my hardware to find someone to play the game. I mean let's be honest here, this is a standard service for almost all online PC games. A server list is introduced, and there are countless services for you and your friends to use to see each other.
Talking on xbox games? Where do you think voice over IP started? VoIP has been on pc for several years now, it's nothing new to me, and it's nothing all that special.
Either way, I was on xbox live a year ago, had some fun with it, decided not to resubscribe? Does that mean I am not a hardcore online gamer? Hardly. That statement is on the lines of intelligence as saying your not a hardcore gamer unless you own every console in existence and buy every add on that came to it. Somethings aren't worth it to a lot of people, and that doesn't mean a lot in the long run.
Tell ya what though, you keep playing gotham2 online,
I will keep playing C&C, CoD, MOH:AA, UT2004, Halo, Mario Kart, Diablo 2, Starcraft, Warcraft, a nice long list of games. I could keep going a long time, but why bother? You have already made up your mind and I doubt intelligent arguements will unmake it.
