For the last couple of week's on N4G i have noticed that it has been plagued with constant playstation Fanboys abusing Microsofts E3, The kinect and the new 360 slim and its starting to bug me.
I completely understand that people dislike the 360, but what i dont understand is why people have to fill a website which is surposed to be a Gaming News site with attempt's at flame wars and just trolling.
I feel this site should be about rumors and news about games. However i do agree with the people writing about the faults of the new xbox when they are actual testing it for faults.
What i do disagree with is when it is obviously untrue, for example the recent post on xbox 360 slim. The artical contains a video which shows the new 360 and then a tv, The tv has lines down it so PS3 fanboys claim its obviously a fault with the XBOX. Wrong the fault is with the TV, the 360 was running perfectly apart from these lines on the screen so in my opinion it has to be the tv.
Another example of fanboyism is the recent post of a IGN interview with the developers of crysis 2. In the interview they have a showing of the game and part way through the preview the game crashes, it then shows that the game is being played on windows and that there is also a xbox 360 logo on the screen, ps3 fanboys instantly claimed that the 360 is unable to handle crysis 2.
This to me makes no sense the video is obviously prerecorded due to the fact the guy from crytek is talking about things that have yet to happen in the video, ie he says and in the game you can kick cars and crush your enemys, as he says this the game has the character boot the car across the screen. The guy from crytek isnt playing the game, there isnt anybody on screen playing the game. To me this mean's it is prerecorded scene where somebody plays crysis 2 on the 360 and they then show the recording to IGN when the computer crashes.
I know by writing this it is going to recieve loads of hate, but to be honest thats what i expected. From what i have seen this site is now usless until people and the administrators of N4G start sorting out the flame war attempts.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
The Interview With Cevat Yerli on Crysis 2 wasn't prerecorded it was part of IGN's live show. However IGN's computers did crash during the presentation due ti high traffic, It was not the fault of the the 360. To stop worrying about consoles and wars, buy a PC, get Steam and you're set for life.
did you even read what i wrote? i said the gameplay was prerecorded not the actual live show, also i didnt blame the 360 for crashing i said it was the computers that crashed. please read and understand what i have written before you comment.
there are people who'll read an articles headline and just comment. Theres also poeple who constantly bash the other console as they want as many "agree" votes as possible and to get another bubble.
With E3 finished now , hopefully the situation will simmer a bit as it DID get a bit crazy and heated on a few posts.
But fanboys and console bashers will always be around. . . sometimes its just a good idea to ignore it as best you can and dont add fuel to the fire (or flamewar I guess)
I could put up with it if the people talking weren't so... stupid.
Don't give me information that is blatantly untrue. It's unprofessional, unconvinving, and (much worse) a waste of my damn time. I come to a *news* site for real information, not bullshit. Leave that in the comments.
