Decline PS4 wins the console war against XboxONE, yet it is a hollow victory as Consolesdämmerung is upon us

In this case there's nothing showing it happened because Microsoft analyses speech, someone probably just reported the videos.

It's different from multiplayer banter in this case, it is content people make available to anyone.

Microsoft will never start banning people en masse for foul multiplayer language because if they did there would be no one left.

The banning for swearing is less concerning than the confirmation that Microsoft does indeed track, log, and scan all audio from your mic.

So what? Unless you're the nerdiest goon on the nets, your XBone streams should contain much less personal information than your phone calls, e-mails, and skype convos, which have already been logged and analyzed for years.

By the NSA, sure. Not by corporations looking to make a profit though.

To be clear, the Xbox Live Policy & Enforcement team does not monitor direct peer-to-peer communications like Skype chats and calls. Also, we take Code of Conduct moderation via Upload Studio very seriously. We want a clean, safe and fun environment for all users. Excessive profanity as well as other Code of Conduct violations will be enforced upon and result in suspension of some or all privileges on Xbox Live. We remain committed to preserving and promoting a safe, secure and enjoyable experience for all of our Xbox Live members.

TL;DR, they state they don't monitor private skype chats. They then dodge the actual question that was asked. Ergo they obviously monitor videos and public chats.

I played a few hours of Killzone Shadow Fall. It's definitely a great looking game, but damn if it isn't ridiculously heavy on motion blur, so much that it makes me dizzy. It has the Crysis 3 syndrome.

It's also possible that Microsoft is converting the excess heat into something else, which can't be picked up by infrared.

That would explain a lot, I was wondering why the XBone was so expensive for such a seemingly crappy piece of equipment. Turns out all that cost goes into breaking the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Can anyone enlighten me how is it possible that live streaming was fine on PC for years but the very moment ps4 gets it and someone manages to turn their ps4 on shit like this happens?
What the fuck is wrong with sony subhumans?
Lol, yes. Because there is no porn on "PC streaming sites". :D

For example nobody ever took off their clothes on Twitch.tv's predecessor Justin.tv, no sir.

*pokes head out of console land briefly*

This Killzone game is pretty but plays like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

*puts head back under*
Watched a stream of the first level, kinda open enviroment, the shooting is the same ole popamole but the level design is kinda nice. It get worse?

There are two Crysis like levels in the whole game. The rest are pretty linear, though with a bit wider corridors than a Call of Duty. There are also some stealth sections which are terrible since the game in general was not made around them.

Even the graphics are hit and miss. Some levels, like the city invasion, look AMAZING. Like better than a PC game on high. Other levels look like shit though. It's really odd.

The open-map crysis before the game turns into an alien railshooter, yeah.

Oblivion's levels are even larger, ergo it has even better level design.

Forza 5 is very good, but the lack of tracks is annoying.
Does the magical learning AI function as it should or it is just as bullshit as the rest of the game (meaning it looks like Forza 4. I mean it looks 1:1 the same).

I can't say, it does seem that the cars are behaving more erratically and unpredictably at times, but nothing that jumps out at you. I think it's mostly BS.

It does look very beautiful at times.

It's pretty outrageous how Microsoft constantly "recommends" you to buy cars which are conveniently enough part of a DLC package.

It's also pretty discouraging to see how the game tracks your time and how you stand in the worldwide podium, you constantly see "you're the 95484th best player in the world for this race, isn't that amazing"?

Can you deactivate that retarded indicator that shows the best way of doing a turn?

As Francis said "sons a bitches!!".
You know you'll be taking out your credit card to get more tracks.
I guess not even being a Xbox Gold member will get you anything now, and people must be fucking stupid to expect a complete game for $60.

This is worse than any EA bullshit and thats a milestone to achieve, they make the game content, you pay $60, they lock half of it in the game and expect you to pay another $60.
Best part about it is you accepting that kind of treatment. Vote with your wallet bro, and dont encourage this jew scam.
Sell it on ebay and get some of your money back atleast.
