Censorship in the US, tends to be the opposite of a lot of other countries. Here in the states, we like to censor out more mature oriented sex content, especially homosexual content, and/or nudity, whereas in other countries, violence tends to be the subject of censorship. The US also seems to have a weird fixation on on cutting out "bad words."
There are a lot of games where in countries like Germany, the blood had to be removed or colored a different color other t...
You need to actually know what Communism is before you can attempt to explain it...
What you talk about sounds closer to Fascism.

"Some of the greatest games out there have the crappiest sales figures. Hell, one of the most popular game in the world, League of Legends, is free. So please don't insinuate that 'sales equals good' crap."
You're right. Popularity =/= quality. It kinda puts a new perspective on PS4 having more pre-orders than X1...
On topic, although I can see where "having masters," can have its downfalls/shortco...
Lazy developing...just more evidence to suggest the "720p fiasco" on Xbox One, is more developer related than a fault of the console, especially considering that other games which are likely more hardware intensive, are achieving higher resolution. If it is a fault on MS, it would likely be due to finalizing drivers or whatnot late, and not hardware limitations of the console.
That point that you personally have not had problems with the pack, does not magically void the fact that lithium batteries lose charge and die. There are even people in these comments who mention that their packs lost charge and/or died. Why do you think they sell PS3 battery replacements?
You talk about simply plugging it in and playing it - this is actually where AA batteries have an advantage over packs. If you need to charge the pack, you have to sacrifice wireless funct...
The fact that the X1 controller uses batteries, just offers another option for players. You can spin it as a "disadvantage," but ultimately it's just one more option for players that Sony doesn't offer, and yes, a lot of people not only use batteries still, but prefer them. Disagree all you like, AA batteries present their own advantages over a rechargeable pack.
The only case here where I could see a valid argument against AA batteries, would be if they wer...
I know everyone wants to point the finger and blame MS because they are devil worshiping gypsy thieves, but many of you are wrongly approaching this situation from a personal/emotional POV, when it is business POV that is needed.
Yes, he legally purchased the device, and yes, Target goofed and shipped it to him early, both of which aren't his fault, but he still broke the rules by choosing to use the console early. There is a release date for a reason, and by choosing to ...
I understand how it can be a "vs" thing with you, or others, or even the community as a whole, but that isn't the point. My point was that it doesn't and isn't a "vs" thing in this blog, so bringing up the topic, is actually off-topic.
I chose the pic for my blog, because it shows a game that serves as a good example where a game can achieve "next-gen" status, despite not being 1080p on either platform - I explain this in more detail ...
The "problem" you are bringing up has nothing to do with the piece I wrote. You are injecting your own concerns into a discussion where they aren't even a talking point. This blog is not Xbox vs PS4 piece - it is my opinions on an issue(s) that is taking place in the community in general, and is not exclusive to either console, so please don't turn the comment section into yet another battleground or soapbox, okay?
Inaccurate comparison.
Kiect 1.0 was a completely separate peripheral, designed and released years after the 360 launched, and although they may have tried to incorporate it with the system, they could only achieve so much.
Kinect 2.0 and the X1 were designed from the ground up to be work together, as sort of an extension of one another. As for games, Kinect Sports Rivals looks really fun, and the face scanning technology is impressive. It's also been me...
I was addressing the next-gen consoles as a whole, seeing as how neither console will be outputting every game at 1080p/60fps. This blog was my outlook on things, in light of the ridiculous levels the focus and demand on resolution has reached. It has nothing to do with "damage control."
The entire piece is about all the other aspects/features games will have that will warrant a "next-gen" label, despite resolution, so what damage would I need to control i...
I've been gaming for over 25 yrs, so yes, I do like games... I own around 150-200 PC games, and about 20 or so 360 games, and I also have a Gamefly account.
However, just because I like and play many games, doesn't mean I have to keep every single one I own or play, installed on my HDD at one time... As theshonen8899 pointed out, what I propose is not a a radical thought.
Also as I pointed out, requiring more space is irrelevant, since if you continu...
The "purchase" you are speaking about, is actually a license. You purchased a license for the software, and agreed to follow the rules - this is what a EULA is or a Terms of Service agreement.
You didn't outright buy the game you are playing, nor do you actually own it. You own the physical aspects - the box it came in, the manual, and the disk it is printed on, but the actual game itself? Not yours.
In this regard, you don't have a "ri...
Unless you are regularly playing those 86 games, or if uninstalling somehow voids the game and you can't get it back, then yes, it is hoarding, regardless how "amazing" the games are or not.
It really comes down to priorities. If you have a 500gb HDD, you need to prioritize. You can't just install everything and then be like, "Aww man, I need a bigger HDD." No, you need to install less stuff. Hell, this applies for virtually any size HDD. If people...
PC gaming doesn't have "generations..." 4k gaming is already happening on PC, although just starting out.
Only one's who would need a bigger a HDD, are those who "hoard" games and never uninstall anything. The article lists 13 games. Do you really need a Baker's dozen worth of games installed on your HDD at all times?
I for one am only going to install games I'm actually playing, plus arcade titles. When I'm done and/or move on to other titles, I'll uninstall prior games and install whatever takes it's place.
My PC has a 500gb H...
It's funny to see the Sony camp with the their jokes about the subject, while totally ignoring the point here - the versatility of the HDMI-in, and how useful it can/will turn out to be. When xbox fans touted this feature, Sony fans scoffed and dismissed it as insignificant, when in actuality, it will be a useful and welcomed feature.
Technically, you could probably plug all your devices into an a/v receiver (pc, ps4, wii u, cable box, etc.) and then plug the receiver in...
Your demanding demeanor is eerily similar to the mindset of Christian fundamentalists and their "Christian Nation" rhetoric, or their thoughts on leaving "under god" in the pledge of allegiance - "if you don't like it, get out!"
It works to discredit you and the community that sides with your close-minded, short sighted way of thinking. The truth is, much of the community no little to nothing about DRM other than the horror stories and worst ...
... yet despite crediting PS4 for being a "gaming console," they too feature a lot of those useless apps you don't care for...
The truth is, console gaming isn't simply about gaming anymore - it's gone mainstream and has broadened it's horizons.
So it's not the consumers fault if they decide to not only use a device before it is officially released, but post pics and vids online for others to see?
