In case of COD and BF4 it's more like:
"Would you rather have a 1080 game that is "awesome" to play, or a 720 that is awesome?"
When I replaced my 2007 32" 1080I with 2011 32" 1080P, I noticed a pretty big difference (I vs P). On the other hand I have a co-worker who claims he can't see a difference between DVD and Blu-ray output.
Cortana can greet an xbox gamer: "Timmy, are you happy to see me, or is that AAA battery in your pocket?"
"...Battlefield is running at 1280×720 on the Xbox One but 1600×900 resolution on the PS4. Both versions are running at 60 frames per second and look mostly similar from a normal viewing distance..."
Now 57% more pixels is "mostly similar", but last gen some minor pixelation on PS3 Bioshock was a huge difference???
Gaming media is nothing more than a marketing tool for the highest bidder, pretending to be unbiased. They crossed t...
This if from 2008 about MS providing "backdoor" entry to their own OS:
"...Microsoft's efforts are not purely altruistic. It benefits from selling collaboration software and other technology..."

Super Stardust looks AMAZING in 3D. If you haven't tried it, you must.
Maybe next next gen they'll figure out they should try to 1up Sony's hardware not ads.
It overdoses. On greatness.
Do you remember this:
"PS3 BioShock Apparently Looks BioShitty"

1080 vs 720 is much, much, much bigger difference than that.
If this doesn't convince you about pro-MS bias in media, then nothing will.
Their opinion is: if it looks good on Playstation, give it a bad score. That's true for both TLOU and Ghosts.
"it’s a balancing act when you get into optimisation"
I guess MS didn't balance the xbox well enough as they said.
I guess that means Angela Merkel is not buying xbox.
In a battle of two trolls, he who goes to bed with butt itch wakes up with smelly fingers.
Did you even read the first comment on top by the author of that article???
"You guys do realize I was being satirical right? My favorite system is the PS3!"

MS doesn't need to go under to stop supporting their products: First xbox, no exclusive games for 360...
9.5/10 from me. Some people are so stuck in thinking that a gameplay has to be frantic. The gameplay is very unique and fun. It is one of the most interesting and visually stunning games I have ever played. Navajo level is just amazing. Shooter-only gamers wouldn't like it.

Don't be so harsh on yourself. You're not a dog. And don't wag CBOAT's tail to predict future.
"I'm still undecided if some of their reviews are actual fruit of bias, or just of the attention whorish need of being "different."
It's probably both.
