So true.
Before I re-read the entire thing and was skimming through the blog post, I could tell I was reading a really good piece of work.
Too many whiners and haters, not enough TRY-ers (made up word for people willing to try) and Enjoy-ers. (Also made up)
Too many people trying to change other's creations, not enough people willing to be patient with something unfamiliar, to see if it ends up being worth the journey.
9.5/10 Sir ...
^ @ Everyone who posted their opinions above me.
Isn't it nice being able to have constructive and positive and varying opinions about games you like/liked on Sony platforms? (with so few disagrees?)
Isn't it nice to say what you want and have your own opinions about things?
I bet it is. :)
That ^ is all we Xbox fans really want and should be able to to do when we talk about the games WE like.
Now all ya gotta do, is r...
I can't believe you got a disagree!
My thoughts on the stupid disagree you got is something like this: (best read in a pirate voice)
"Carr-ful Matey, Thar be Sony fans be SO pur-tective of thar trezzure, that 'dey be slicin' the gullets of poor chickens, fore 'dey tot dem chickens sayin 'Bawk Bawk' cuz 'dey likem zee Xbox."
In layman's terms, don't say ANYTHING negative about Sony.... EVER, or you'll g...
"Why can't Link be Black?"
Well, hello dumbasses of the planet,
Why the hell should he have to be?
Why can't people who are "Zelda fans" realize that it's not about race, it's about what the dev's wanna do, and sticking with whatever THEY feel like doing with THEIR intellectual property.
If you want a black Link, then just pretend? Or work your way into the industry, try to work for Nintendo, and try to make a in...
Correct! +1 bubble for you.
It's the SDK being changed, and has nothing to do with the SKU.
The New SKU may have impacted the final decision to update the SDK and give the 10% boost, but it is not in fact the SKU that does anything, and the resources allocated are just being restored to not reserve that 10% for kinect.
And, yes, like you said, Voice commands, snapping, etc.. will remain unchanged, and will get better with time... like ALL of the Xbox one&#...
WTF?
Contradict-a-mundo!
Nope.
Okay. So I agree that everything is and always has been dependent on the situation/what the devs decide/what they can manage to squeeze out of the hardware.
I also agree that having the best graphics or most raw power isn't really important in the long run, so long as devs make PLAYABLE and fun games.
Which, this gen, they are striving for more than ever, especially when we compare it to last gen when certain games were piss poor on either system for various reasons.
It would be nice for mario games and happy worlds haha
But I wouldn't want it for all games lol
Imagine the smells inside the giant worm on Gears of War 2.
Or the stenches of some of the realms in Dante's Inferno.
Or maybe the smell of vomit from the enemies on left 4 dead. Or any game with death or rotting bodies or zombies
Okay so your last paragraph you said the code gets better allowing "perhaps a better frame rate or resolution" isn't that the key to catching up to the PS4? Notice I said catching up, not outperform. I never expected the xb1 to outperform the PS4
(bubble up for well said)
I agree, it's gonna be hit or miss with Halo 5, either amazing, or not that great.
But I actually think it's not too different from the challenge Bungie faces with Destiny.
Everyone and their dog, (literally) on both consoles , are going to be either praising Destiny, or panning it.
In fact, I think the BIG question will be (depending how great either game ends up being) was it worth Bungie g...
Is that seriously a question? Activision spent 500 million in marketing, and it's pretty much the only shooter besides Halo and Call of Duty that's gonna matter this year, so again, is that seriously a question?
Maybe Destiny will be great, maybe it won't.
Who knows how big it will actually become.
But no matter how big it does or doesn't get, it will still bring to mind the question, was it worth ditching Halo for a breath of fresh air?
Dude, this was just my opinion about why I don't care for luckey's opinion. Calm down man...
I think ANYTHING involving facebook that isn't facebook is a bad decision. My opinion of course.
If this deal with Samsung is so special, then why wouldn't samsung who can clearly do whatever they want in this regard do such with or without facebook being involved?
It doesn't even matter. I'm just saying that his opinion about ...
Okay, so you guys think MS needed to go for the throat eh?
Well how are they supposed to do that? If they were saying things like "Xbox one is the best place to play" or "There is no reason to play playstation, we have the best games" then they would just make fools of themselves.
And same thing goes for Sony, if they had said either of those things, (even though they got daringly close to saying that a couple times in their conference) then they w...
"30FPS is a bad decision" says Palmer Luckey.
Selling Oculus to Facebook was a bad decision.
You sir, Mr. Luckey, are a tool.
I guess you held out for the big money instead of focusing on REAL games and game support. Your opinion on 30 fps and 60 fps is useless to me considering that your ideal home for oculus rift is going to become "Status updates and memes"- at One frame per minute.
I think 30 and 60 fps has it's ti...
Parity clause only exists in a sony fan's dreams. And was part of their defense last gen when Xbox 360 had better looking multi plats. (Not by Much)
PS4 is having better looking multiplats (not by much) and yet some are still screaming parity clause?
Goes to show that sony fans can't/won't be happy even when they have a fun game to play, and to go a step further, aren't even gonna be happy even when they DO have the better version of a game.

And some say Consoles are dying when compared to PC... This proves that in the mind's eye of most dev's now a days that the most profitable/safe place to launch your titles will always be console.
Sure, steam has greenlighting for indies, and Cd Projeckt Red shows their love for the PC, but most devs and publishers know that consoles are the place to make the bread, and PC's are the place to add the butter.
Now if devs don't use the options at their disposal ...
Exactly. It will work, it will be a f2p shooter, but it won't be TRULY fun to MOST of the people who are used to playing games online. It's a decent game ( when it works) but nothing to write home about.
I have a killer pc and this game lags and is played on maps called continents... sounds cooler than it actually is. The whole thing is cool to read about parts of the lore etc. But speaking from experience, I can say it's only gonna matter as much as warface on xbox 360 or...
So lemme get this straight. When a youtube vid is shown, you SONY guys say "youtube vids don't make a difference or don't show the true quality of the visuals... but when a 792p version of a game is shown on XB1, and it looks like 5% or worse than the PS4 version, you guys go apeshit?
Which is it?
I can tell a difference between the 720p and 1080p vids on youtube, and if we're talking about the game's true potential, then what's to st...
It's one thing to ask, or be hopeful, it's another to overlook and discredit great gaming experiences and fun to be had, purely because we can say: "It's not 60fps", or "it didn't get a 10/10 on metacritic", or "it's about a white dude, and I'm black."
There's always gonna be "It could have"
It's not about what "could have been" it's about "what is"
It'...
