Maybe, but the best game console drama is always 3-sided: Kinda wish Nintendo had waited a year and put out a better console so that this generation could've have some Wii U horror stories.

Blackdeath_6634560d ago

i don't, nintendo did the right thing the wiiU has some pretty decent games out now if you are a nintendo fan however if it had come out now considering its specs, limited storage etc.. it would have been completely overshadowed

georgeenoob4559d ago

Two words: playstation fanboys.

EXVirtual4560d ago

The lead up to this new current gen was so dramatic and controversial because of the internet.
One person gets a bad console, posts it online and the sky is falling according to some people.

Youtubers posting melodramatic videos for views.

Negativity about the power of each console before they even release and people forget that consoles are optimized for gaming.

Doom and gloom about how consoles are gonna die out to mobiles.

And the funny thing is, these 12 dramas that have been listed is just the beginning.

deantak4560d ago

Not as much drama as I would have expected.

Software_Lover4560d ago

It's the internet. Every dog with a blog is ruining it for a lot of us.

SnakeCQC4560d ago

madame sessler had his share of dramas too

nosferatuzodd4560d ago (Edited 4559d ago )

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1520d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501519d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1519d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1519d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1519d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1520d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1519d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881519d ago (Edited 1519d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331519d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881519d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1519d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
