Xbox One Trolling

MilkmanDansays...

I'm not sure what I feel more:

Appreciation for his clever plan and enjoyment in the recorded results, or reinforced smugness towards my avoidance of the cesspool that is online multiplayer gaming (/shudder).

online PC gaming is slightly more mature than xbox. I tried a few times to play xbox 360 online, each match devolved into the same pre-teen squealing in my ear. Cancelled xbox Live Gold as soon as Netflix app was on PS3. Never looked back.

Exactly what do you propose they should have tested? Do you seriously think the console should be able to understand the semantics of natural language (i.e. tell the difference between "xbox, sign out" and "xbox sign out is trolling me")?

I used to do a similar thing in university. We did a lot of work on VAX machines. Because there were a limited number of terminals, once you signed out, you were locked out for 30 mins.

When I needed a terminal I'd say to first year students, "hey remember logo? They just installed it." Student would then type "logo" at the command prompt, which the os would automatically lengthen to "logout".... oh, you're done with that terminal? thanks

Once again, I am horrified at the number of pre-teen kids playing CoD online.

A fine example of why there should always be "thorough" beta testing. Microsoft = Fail

I think Orz means that the Xbox should "know" when you're actively playing a game and probably wouldn't ever actually want to log out. it should essentially determine that you're still inputting commands with your controller and you must be doing that for a reason. Just my 2 cents.

Orzsays...

Actually what I mean is, they made a console that responds to voice commands but didn't think that there should be words or names to be blacklisted. I realize that the voice command capabilities have to do with Kinect, but considering nearly every vocal command starts with "Xbox", any usernames starting with the same word or letters (it is voice recognition software after all) should have been unable to be registered as a valid profile name. It is a major over site by either the programmers of the software or by the people who tested the product to 'work the bugs out'.

Asmosays...

Yeah, because the XBox knows when you're in the middle of a round having the game of your life and a pissed off wife and crying get home and you need to get out asap... ; )
