I literally need to buy a new PC, because my operating system and video card makes any attempt at gaming go from either migraine inducing with the graphic settings and buffering, to simply impossible to load, as was with my attempt to play kotor and kotor 2 after buying them both from steam.

SWTOR works just fine though, aside for looking like a badly buffering youtube video whenever I move my character, so I have no clue what's up with that.

In response to criticisms of always on line console Microsoft creative director Adam Orth says deal with it

Microsoft Studios creative director Adam Orth has enraged fans with a condescending defence of always-on devices, tweeting: ‘Sorry, I don’t get the drama around having an ‘always online’ console’.

He then followed that up with: ‘Every device now is ‘always on’. That’s the world we live in. #dealwithit.’

Challenged over the fact that Internet connectivity in the U.S., let alone the rest of the world, was not always reliable he then replied: ‘Why on earth would I live there?’

Bizarrely he then continued digging a hole for himself and when asked by BioWare’s Manveer Heir whether he’d learnt anything from the debacle of the SimCity launch Orth compared the problems to a power cut and said: ‘electricity goes out, too’.

When he finally realised what a public relations disaster he was being Orth then changed his Twitter feed so that only confirmed followers can see it.

Orth’s comments are essentially the best evidence so far that the next generation Xbox does require a permanent, or at least semi-permanent, Internet connection. Although his outburst was likely inspired by new insider info from website Kotaku, which also seems to reinforce the rumours.

‘Unless something has changed recently, Durango consumer units must have an active internet connection to be used,’ said one source – Durango being the codename for the new Xbox.

‘If there isn’t a connection, no games or apps can be started. If the connection is interrupted then after a period of time – currently three minutes, if I remember correctly – the game/app is suspended and the network troubleshooter started’.

Kotaku does note however that some of their other Microsoft sources are unaware of these plans, although they don’t rule out the possibility that they simply wouldn’t have been told at this stage.

It certainly adds to the weight of previous rumours, all of which point to the new Xbox requiring some sort of online check to confirm a game has been bought legitimately, similar to PC games such as Diablo III and SimCity.

SWTOR is 2783498237498234 times more demanding than kotor, there must be something wrong with your system...

I'm such an idiot, I typed the wrong thing in my post.
:P

My graphics card is only just barley capable of running swtor, according to the configuration program that came with the steam download.

It's my operating system that's screwed aparently.

My god, can't you guys just wait for the 720's reveal in a month or so before lambasting Microsoft? I agree, if their focus is always-online, blocked used games, and a focus on microtransactions, I'm getting the hell out of Xbox. But I'll wait to find out. Does everyone even know for sure that the PS4 isn't always-online and blocks used games?

Nope. I've disliked them long before this anyway.

Huh, I didn't know a BioWare employee had challenged Orth to a battle of wits.
