1) Please refresh yourself on the actual meaning of a "straw man."

2) You name BGR and IBTimes as Sony "homers" but there are plenty of MSFT homers out there (IGN and CNET) as well. I'll agree with you that gaming journalism is indeed shit, but it's shit all around. To think differently would be naive at best.

You clicked on it and commented. That's why they keep getting approved.

"Any publicity is good publicity" doesn't work perfectly here but you get my gist.

Yup, neither console has much in the exclusive department. Good thing 90% of all games are multiplat, right?

On the exclusive front right now, it's quality over quantity for me and the best exclusive is Infamous in my opinion.

PS4 mostly because I can't wait the extra few days til the XB1 beta comes on.

4237d ago 21 agree2 disagreeView comment

I'm just trying to clear up my backlog of games a little before the beta. Once that hits, everything will just have to go away.

The game is selling well, fine. That doesn't necessarily make it a good game, only popular. I can name quite a few games that were popular but not "good" in my opinion.

I didn't like Watch Dogs. I can't even finish the game. Honestly, I'm just holding on until Destiny at this point. Nothing else really piques my interest this year except for that and two remasters (Halo and TLOU).

Infamous for me. Titanfall next.

I am not a big fan of Watch Dogs. I am not that into GTA-esque games and I feel like Watch Dogs is GTA with hacking.

Let's hold off on saying a game not yet released looks better than one thats already released.

Having said that, you'll most likely be right on the unreleased games. I agree that Infamous looks materially better than Ryse and plays much better/smoother as well.

The wait most certainly did not get any easier with a few HD modded screen shots of an old game.

You made sense with most of that. I disagree with your resolution comment regarding what you can and can't see on screen. I have a 55" plasma and can tell when it's 720p or 1080p (I'll agree no real difference to me between 900p and 1080p).

Anyway, you're right that we need to drop this petty crap. We've been over it, we get it. OK, let's move on. Even when game-specific news pops up (new screens, new storyline info, developer comments, etc.), it...

I try not to get involved in this console war weirdness, but I feel the need to comment when someone says something incorrect and/or silly. You've done both.

1) XB1 is behind PS4 in the graphics department. Everyone (even the creepy XB1 trolls) has come to grips with the fact that PS4 outperforms XB1 consistently on the graphics front. I own both and agree that's the case. It's not by a lot, but it is noticeable.

2) Infamous: SS looks materially ...

Ha. I didn't even read the article because I don't care what it's about. I made some popcorn and skipped right to the comment section. Instant hilarity.

I don't love this game.

I know im in the minority, but I don't really like GTA games and this reminds me of one.

I've played it. The game play is horrible.

4242d ago 0 agree3 disagreeView comment

Um, yup. Exactly. It used to annoy me because I would be thinking "how can someone be so obtuse and stubborn?"

Now I just kind of laugh. Personally, I own both consoles so I don't really care about the whole console war thing. That said, it's funny to watch the XB1 fanboys continuously back track and pivot and back track and lie. Sony has more than its share of idiot fanboys, but I just find the MS fanboy back tracking to be akin to watching a train wreck. ...

Yes, I say that like they don't have jobs and they only play Minecraft. If they do have jobs, they most certainly could be doing better at them.

They clearly have A LOT of free time that they could be spending somewhere more beneficial to both them and humanity in general.

Thanks.

Please understand that I can indeed do better. It's been a long day at work and it would appear I've spent all of my intelligence points on math rather than wit today. I should probably see if I can buy more intelligence points. I'm not sure if it works that way but I'll still try.

I won't say whether it will or will not "play" like a movie because we don't know yet.

That said, so what if it does? You don't like it? Don't buy it. Everyone wants developers to take a risk and get away from COD/Halo/FPS. But when a developer takes that risk and puts out game that isn't COD-esque in terms of game play, some one bitches about it.

You like COD? Keep playing it. You like MMORPGs? Keep playing them. Minecraft or ...
