The "console war" will always matter to an extent every year.

AngelicIceDiamond3670d ago

Pretty much, I just been ignoring it and playing more games lately, only children get hardcore into it hence 80% ppl here. Haven't commented on here as much lately like I said I been enjoying gaming no need to come on here or sites like this where ppl tell you not to enjoy the console and games you enjoy and tell you its crap every 2 secs, don't need to here all that mess..

naruga3670d ago (Edited 3670d ago )

it will always matter ..all these justification that real gamers buy -play them all is ridiculous ..some of us dont have economic fluency to buy all the hardware and software which gets released every time...we must choose the best (and between U4 and Quantum break , between Bloodborne and Ryse you know what is the best and the list goes on ..in contrast "buying all consoles " argument is used mostly by ignorant man-boys with no personal-life and gold seats in their jobs....also these ridiculous articles are increasingly appearing now that Xone cant stand the competition ...

XisThatKid3670d ago

As I said in another post, YES. It will always as long as this industry is driven by competition and the community continues to express.
All you people that are "higher than thou" I hope you guys don't have a fav sports team, because I will always take pride in where I invest thousands of my hard earned monies and wish for my console of choice to succeed on the grand scale of it is further supported in the future to come.

Free_Fro3671d ago (Edited 3670d ago )

it never did to me. . but ... I enjoy toying with fanboys ~ keep fighting the good fight ^_^
whoever is selling more doesn't determine what platform I do my gaming on..
besides. . I've ascended.

Ascended to full troll status. You are playing the meta game of trying to get a rise out of actual gaming fans by making uninformed comments, and you have the high score on that one. Congrats.

On topic, the console war only happens because of guys like the one above me. Anytime fans are interested in just talking about the games they enjoy, they end up feeling the need to defend them against trolls & console warriors. That's not going away. The one thing that will ring true this year is that the consoles are finally forging an identity. The console wars are at their hottest when the boxes are at their closest in terms of experiences on offer. Once those quality exclusives start coming in and differentiating themselves, most fans are able to go off into their own corners and just talk about their experiences with exclusives vs. contrasting the minute differences in multiplats & the ethics behind timed exclusivity, etc.

It's really overrated, that auto lock feature kills it for me. Also have noticed some bad AI and texture issues.

ninsigma3670d ago

You can turn that off. It's an option before you even play the game. In fact, it's off by default.

Mr_Luke3670d ago

The game asks you thousands of times if you want it on or off. Unless you're playing in Easy (explorer or something). And even in that case, where the feature is on, it tells you that. So i guess that:
1) You're one of those that like playing on very easy because the games are always too difficult for them, that's why enemies are a bit "dumb" and you have auto lock (and you didn't read, just pressed X untill the game started or something)
2) You don't own the game

ninsigma3670d ago

Oh wait a minute. You created your account 2 hours ago and since then have crapped on uncharted and called ps fans toxic and vile in a big massive rant of nothingness. Never mind then, just another moronic fool with a sad existence. Natural selection needs to work quicker.

thexmanone3669d ago

What dose that have to do with anything?

Back on topic:
There is no war, confused little kiddies.

It matter when there is, but this gen there isnt any kind of console war. The diference is huge, the number are crushing in every single market in the world.

wonderfulmonkeyman3670d ago

This may not be Sparta, but I'll be damned if these console wars don't make me want to kick certain people into a pit.XD

gangsta_red3670d ago

HA! I hear ya monkeyman! I know a few myself that should be flayed house of Bolton style.

Cacabunga30d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot29d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose30d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE30d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername29d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy30d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde30d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8630d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8630d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300030d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle30d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7730d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
