It's mans world in most circumstances. Yes, there is a fair amount of sexualisation in games, just as there is in film, but there are plenty of male characters that run around topless, flexing their pecs. If it fits with the medium then it fits. MSG has always been this way. FF has an obsession with making A-sexual male characters for ages, so many times I found myself asking 'is that a guy or a girl?' kratos has an allergy to cotton shirts etc.

If it fits the ga...

Just calm it down man, I commented on penello's first statement, not the 26 pages of too and fro that came after, as the article posted here is about that particular comment. Its not the end all and be all to this console war, no, its a statement to highlight that the xbox is not as weak as many people like to make out, and that some respect should be given to the talented people who have worked to develop the xbox one. Ive never once said that the xbox is mor...

Well said septic!

Alas it will mostly fall on deaf ears on N4G. We will see the real outcome of what both these consoles equate to on screen when they launch and we have some good exclusive games to look at and compare.

It's already ingrained into the Sony masses that they are the superior race, not even factual information could change the stubborn minds to look at things with an open mind.

I'm glad penello has taken the time to cl...

that's spot on.

This is the problem with reinventing a console that is established. Look what happened to nintendo once they shifted to motion control. The Wii is the console I have played the least since I bought it on launch. Ive actually packed it up as it was just collecting dust, along with many others I know, the hardcore departed.

Now the xbox one is doing something similar but it is still addiditve rather than replacing common controller input. Th...

Using physical violence as an analogy for a console manufacturers policy on used games is a bit of a stretch, but it deffinatley dramatises the situation to something more serious than it is. it will also compound the problem, so your intention to rubbish me, my decision to purchase a games console, and my moralistic fibre is successful. I hope your pleased with this outcome as you have achieved what you set out to do.

I don't want you to buy an Xbox, I don't need you...

It's a love hate relationship with me.

I love the additional info gained from the codecs, but I hate when I'm short on playtime and there is loads of dialogue to go through before getting back to the action.
Also when your listening for ages then you zone out for a moment and can miss some crucial info that's mixed with all the fluff.

I agree with brogamer above on the direction that the new games is taking.

Wait and se...

People like me huh?

I think they are changing, and have been since e3 but there is still much to to alleviate the fence sitters.

I don't think they are wrong, they WERE wrong, and they changed their policy to address the issues. Which is good enough for me to make a purchase decision. I said back in may that if I could still buy disc based games and not require the 24hr checkin I'd be happy. Now that I can buy and own my discs AND still have the cool...

This is really sad and stupid.

What will this prove? Nothing.

There is no doubt that the PS4 is far more appreciated by gamers, especially when we take into consideration what has happened on both sides since feb. Sony are clear I their message, they have built a beautifully powerful games console that has been made to excel at what it's supposed to... To play games!

The Xbox has shifted it focus onto everyone and everything which has l...

Im pretty sure this is half of the ad, the top half is for Forza, and the message relates to that. Seems like a pretty normal ad, whats the problem exactly?

If sony had something similar there wouldnt be an issue, so why now?

You and others always come to me and state that I am essentially a no-brained fanboy who supports the evil one and that I am ignorant, stupid, someone who doesn’t understand what’s going on in the world, someone who doesn’t have the capacity to see what is going on, someone who is damaging gaming for everyone else. Maybe one day i'll post a blog on N4G with all the PM's ive recieved since may for my thoughts on the next generation. Threats, abuse, complete and utter rage and hatred, a...

Obviously struck a nerve. And 15 disagrees and counting without a sniff of a retort. Ha Ha!

@above

I guess your the sort of fanboy that is narrow minded and would cut their nose to spite their face. When some great games are staring you in the face but you just can't grow a pair big enough to stand up for yourself in the face of adversity, just go with the sheep and bleet on.you fear change and advancements and want nothing more than to make ...

Anyone here who hasn't got over what has happened since may and still have a resolute stance against MS, will never change.

It's quite obvious that many here have no intention of purchasing an Xbox, but yet they will continue to try to dissuade others by spouting hate and negativity about the past endeavours of team Xbox.

Completely ignoring the difficult choices they have made to rectify their mistakes, and the best bit is that this has all been th...

You are correct in your summation of ideas put together.

The beauty that beholds me lies within the elegance with witch it has been put together. Especially the way that kinect has been, not integrated, but built as a foundation of the consoles experience.

I'm not trying to say your wrong, just that I think your words are very diminishing of what has gone into the creation of the Xbox one experience. I read this article and it...

This is the sort of comment that is not worth reasoning with. Its people like this that are actually hurting the Xbox brand more with stupid comments like this. I am very excited to pick up the one and the PS4. There is no need for this!

The PS4 is simplistic beauty, the architecture is fluid, the design is purpose built for gaming, the power is immense and the games that will be, will BE!

the Xbox is a technical marvel, with customisation bordering on the in...

Hooray, the console war has officially started! Now it gets exciting.

Time for SDF to get into 5th gear and really let it rip.

Oh the joys of gaming.

It's about time they grew a pair and started claiming their perceived position.

Too many months of unsureness and confusion. It's time to put the gloves on and start this console war for real.

The playstation nation have had it way to easy since feb.

Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!
