The Things you hate most about Microsoft

[Enigmus]

The one thing I hate? The factor I've tried downloading Pac Man World 2 and it keeps going "OH NOEZ IT ONLEE WERKS OWN EXPEE", and the factor that there's no option to set original Xbox games to widescreen on a 360.

You might regret making this topic, there are a lot of 360 fans here.

I don't hate any of the 3 companies, but they sure have done some things that have added up to made me think I hate them.

Microsoft:

The games are great but I don't like the 360 console.

-It has one of the worst names of any system ever made (I would probably put TurboGrafx as the worst) and I honestly think it's very ugly. Though neither of those points change how the games play.
-Poorly made, you buy it, play games on it for a year, then suddenly it whips out it's RRoD and smacks you in the face.
-The controller feels very durable but the A/B/X/Y/RB/LB/Guide buttons and D-Pad feel like something from a cheap phone, they don't feel suitable for games.

Sony:

-I used to hate the quality of their products, breaking down within a year. Looks like they've fixed that.

Nintendo:

-I want compilation games like Capcom and Sega does, I don't want to buy each classic game individually for $30 (or $5-$10 on VC). But, I'm sure if Capcom and Sega had a console they would do the same thing.

"OH NOEZ IT ONLEE WERKS OWN EXPEE.

Wow, they must have some pretty poor spellers that program those error messages.

The one thing that annoys me the most about Microsoft's gaming division is the reliability of the 360. After that, it's the 360's lack of full backwards compatibility with the original Xbox.

If you want to play Xbox games, get an Xbox. All BC does is limit the technology on the current system.

That's what I did. Best $40 I ever spent!

you know what i hate having to stand up and walk my lazy ass all the way to my snes just to turn it on hopefully one day in the future they will add a button to the controller that turns systems on by themselves.

I don't even understand the first one, but I'm not sure the second one is right. Doom III works in Widescreen for me.

I don't have any reason to hate them. There are some things I wish they'd do different, like making all original XBox games BC, providing built-in Wi Fi and making their systems less prone to breakdowns, but otherwise their stuff has provided me with some very nice gaming experiences.

I guess the most annoying thing about Microsoft is that for some reason it causes so many fanboys to seethe with inexplicable, irrational rage. That gets old.

I hate how they make people want to post stupid topics like this one.

The consoles are so crappy! buy them only for solid contollers and halo, but i had both the orignal XboX and the 360, both had something wrong with them and died less than 5 years... Just stopped reading games.

I hate that NXE defaults to "what's new with Xbox." I don't care. Just take me to my damn games. It's not really that big of a deal, but it's annoying.

[kupomogli]

Oh yeah. The new 360 dashboard. They had a perfectly fine dashboard previously which I actually liked more than the XMB. Why screw up something that didn't need fixing to try and copy Nintendo and add all this lame bullshit we don't want to see?

[Sudo]

Shitty controller and NXE. That's about it.
