[QUOTE=anthonywolfe;35511545]Excluding Ezio? :v:[/QUOTE] Well, he hasn't been arguing that something is far better, so not really.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;35511539]Mods probably in the form of Mojang-approved DLC?[/QUOTE] extra saveslot for only 9.99! unlock diamond mining for only 5.99! [QUOTE=anthonywolfe;35511545]Excluding Ezio? :v:[/QUOTE] not a fanboy, just a psycho
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;35511555]M$ only allows one Free DLC per game, sadly[/QUOTE] Maybe as a "Content update." Not DLC, it's a patch that brings more features to the game.
That's what they said about the Jaguar 64.
[QUOTE=J!NX;35511571]extra saveslot for only 9.99! unlock diamond mining for only 5.99![/QUOTE] I could see Mojang including some community mods as an optional extra already ingame, to bypass the DLC system.

YOU derailed the thread, and we aren't even meant to be talking about Minecraft.[/QUOTE] Did you really just use a Team Fortress 2 reaction video? Seriously can someone just ban me for a week or something. I can't stand the stupidity and mental retardation of these PC fan boys who can't even make any good points about in an argument and talk about shit not relating to said argument.

Just sayin'

[QUOTE=Protocol7;35511626]Are you serious?

I made the arguments, you came in talking about technology shit which I never cared about and then started talking about it ever since.
[QUOTE=EzioAuditore;35511647]No, you really are a true example of a complete illiterate retard.

If I remember correctly this was your first post in this thread. [QUOTE=EzioAuditore;35509925]Good god will you PC gamers stop complaining...[/QUOTE] It don't look like you where making "arguments" more like you came in here trying to piss people off for amusement which I'm PRETTY sure is classified as trolling.
[QUOTE=EzioAuditore;35511647]No, you really are a true example of a complete illiterate retard. I made the arguments, you came in talking about technology shit which I never cared about and then started talking about it ever since.[/QUOTE] Why are you talking about PC fanboys in a thread about a rumor that the new Xbox may have 16 cores. I think you're the illiterate one to be honest... also, i really do doubt you actually know what a fanboy is.
The thing I don't get about this 16 core rumour is that it sounds completely computer-illiterate in some sense. Mind you, it's just a rumour, so it is probably going to be filled with holes anyway.
[QUOTE=EzioAuditore;35511647]No, you really are a true example of a complete illiterate retard. I made the arguments, you came in talking about technology shit which I never cared about and then started talking about it ever since.[/QUOTE] Do I need to lay it out for you? What's the title of the thread? It's "RUMOR: Next Xbox 'to boast ridiculously powerful 16-core CPU'". Let's break down the first page. Spekter says "I'd be surprised but really, it won't make a difference. They're wanting a family-friendly multimedia device now not an actual console so I doubt we'll be seeing much good from it." In other words, it's cool technology and all, but overkill for the direction Xbox is going. Not really negative towards the Xbox. Farmatyr says "I don't see what's so bad investing more in this field (Kinect), it could prove to be quite useful in other future tech." Motion tracking is cool technology, but as stated, it's true use could be seen in other systems (gasp, PCs.) I Am A Rock says "AMD 16 Core aka 8 core "hyperthreaded" or whatever AMD's version of the technology is. AMD needs to stop marking virtual cores as physical cores." So it turns out the technology isn't really that impressive anyway, although the rumor tries to say "Look at how powerful this thing will be!" Drax-quin says "It might have those 16 cores but are those cores each individually working on a single process? In most cases when this new technology comes out it's underdeveloped and you simply just have a fast running 8 core rather than a 16. Also it would be very hard for programmers to take on board the new 16 core system so who's to say programmers will even make use of all 16 cores. It just seems like something silly to boast about having that many cores but not specifying anything else about the CPU's operation, it's stupid really." This is a well-thought out post saying how the CPU technology can be useless. Point is, none of these posts are complaints or elitist by any manner. And you come in and say "Good god will you PC gamers stop complaining..." because technologically literate people are saying that this isn't a good idea whatsoever. So, I don't know, it sounds like to me you're taking some kind of a stance on technology if you despise the people who detest it. [editline]10th April 2012[/editline] There is literally none of the "PC fanboy elitism" that you claim there is up until you make your debut post in the thread.

I can't stand the stupidity and mental retardation of these PC fan boys who can't even make any good points about in an argument and talk about shit not relating to said argument.[/QUOTE] News flash: There are both PC and console fanboys, get over it. Stop getting your little panties in a twist over what some random person on the internet said; you are crying about people not liking your opinion yet you are doing the exact same thing back to them. You arent even arguing, you are just flaming and saying people are fanboys for calling you out on your retarded generalisations and thread derailing. Rather than say 'Hurr durr every one here is a PC fanboy because they think PCs will still be more powerful than consoles', you could have at least made an attempt at explaining why they are wrong instead of just trying to insult them, but obviously you dont have enough mental capacity to do that. I hope you do get banned for asking because you are a terrible poster and you obviously dont want to be here. On topic: I wouldnt be too surprised if it was 6-8 physical cores/double virtual cores since they want to future proof it for the next 5+ years, the 360 has three cores and is struggling with the latest games, which are just going to get more and more resource intense. The extra space will also allow developers to be more ambitious with their games instead of worrying about bottlenecking. Not sure what this will do to the price, it will probably be $400-700 imo, the 360 is still going to continue to be a huge platform with series like CoD and Halo still raking in the players so they dont need to worry too much about [b]everyone[/b] buying the next console straight away.

You're a cunt and nothing any of your circle jerk friends say will change my opinion which is the truth. I win ;)
I love how all you fanboys are raging because of one guy its hilarious
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;35511809]I love how all you fanboys are raging because of one guy its hilarious[/QUOTE] Can you show me a comment that states outright: "PC is the best, Xbox sucks because it doesn't have configurations and shit that a PC doesn't."?

[QUOTE=hoodoo456;35511809]I love how all you fanboys are raging because of one guy its hilarious[/QUOTE] the only form of elitism that I see is from a now banned user
Even if this is true, the "revolutionary" tri-core CPU in the 360 never seemed anything special even at release.
lol and then just as i say something that goes against your little pc circlejerk, you go crazy gg [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling, again" - Craptasket))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;35512097]lol and then just as i say something that goes against your little pc circlejerk, you go crazy gg[/QUOTE] ...Wow you obviously win the argument with your mighty and well thought out sentence. We're not getting annoyed because you're poking at a 'PC Fanboy Club', we're annoyed because you and Ezio seem to have the logical radius of a pea. We're annoyed because you keep on putting us in a group of people that we are not.
[B]OH MY GOD SO MUCH BITCHING[/B] What is this, a God damned Dr. Phil show!? Get your panties out of their knots and stop pulling each other's hair. Accept people think differently. You're acting like a bunch of little girls. If you can't accept that, there's an [url=http://facepunch.com/profile.php?do=ignorelist]ignore feature for a reason.[/url] On topic: What kinda games are they planning with that many (*cough* virtual) cores?? Surely nothing that can be ported to PCs or other consoles...

Besides, I hardly think this rumour is legit. I mean, we're talking about a magazine here. Not everything stays the same or is true. :smile:

"my ___ has 10000 cores!!11 my daddy works at ___ :downs:" Because I really don't think Microsoft is that dumb.
They'll have impressive tech but I still reserve that the impressive tech will be shown in the GPU
