N4G would be a better place if what you said was true. Unfortunately, you really have to follow popular opinion, and favor one company over another, if you want to gain bubbles or avoid losing them.
I haven't been here very long, but I can see what comments are marked, and which users lose bubbles, and it's quite biased.
I have several problems with re-reviewing games.
1) When do you start (or stop) re-reviewing? After the first patch? After the first free DLC? What happens if you re-review a game after one update, then a second update comes along that fixes more issues or adds more content? It would seem to create a never ending cycle.
2) You have to take into account people who don't have online access. What if a patch to fix bugs or performance issues is only avai...

It was the Dreamcast & Xbox audience that made Shenmue popular - so popular that PS4 fans are now dying to get in on the game. If Xbox fans are not intelligent, why are PS fans trying so hard to be like them?
Your comment was a hate filled personal attack against an entire group of gamers, and was rightfully marked.
I will enjoy. I'll enjoy knowing I can still play the same games on my Xbox One that Sony's paying huge marketing $$$ for. I'll also enjoy knowing that I can play Halo 5, Tomb Raider and Forza 6 as well.
Unless of course Sony is trying to fool people into believing that Star Wars and COD are PS exclusives. After all, MS was accused of doing that last generation by using asteroid sized marketing campaigns.
Enjoy playing your marketing rights.
If you knew your gaming history, and you clearly don't, you'd know that's completely false. Companies focus on the countries where their console is doing well.
Imagine an Xbox 360 fan in Japan. He watches as the 360 easily outsells PS3 in the U.S. Of course, all that means is that developers will (and did) make more games for the U.S. market. Xbox 360's success in other countries did nothing for that gamer as far fewer titles were released in Japan, where 3...
"You also do not properly account for the fact Sony has locked up the marketing rights on the two biggest sellers this fall. And with Star Wars hitting theaters this year Sony is going to reap the rewards of all that free marketing."
I remember the days (not too long ago) when the Xbox 360 was ridiculed for securing marketing rights to third party games like COD, especially in years when 360's AAA exclusives were lighter than Sony's. Playstation fans would ...
What country do you live in? That should be the one that matters most to you.
I live in the U.S., so I only care about U.S. games. If my console of choice does well in other countries, and because of that success many more games get released in those other countries, how in the world (no pun intended) does that help me?
Caring more about countries you don't live in (in regards to gaming) serves no purpose except fanboy bragging about games you'll ne...
@Zay
Great. That's where your list belongs - in an article about 2016. Why are you so insecure about this one that you have to go completely off topic?
No, for using an inflammatory term like "dominated".
Regardless of what side you're on, there was no domination. You can make reasonable arguments for both sides, but both Sony & MS were very close in terms of the impact of their conferences.
"There is a reason why Wii U and the first PS3 with BC didn't sell like hotcakes."
PS2 - best selling console of all time - Backwards compatible
Wii - second best selling console of all time - backwards compatible
Nintendo DS & DS Lite - best selling handhelds of all time - backwards compatible
Notice a pattern?
What's wrong with his statements?
-The Xbox One will have better games this year than it's had in the past. The lineup of Forza 6, Halo 5, Tomb Raider, Gears Remake, and dozens of smaller titles will easily trump last year's slate of games.
-The Elite controller looks awesome, and will likely be a better controller than MS has offered previously.
I think you're assuming he's saying it will have better games and a better c...
He's not saying it has more games than another console. He's simply saying there are more games coming this year (the timeframe the article refers to) than there was in the past.
-Better games - again, this year's game lineup will likely be better than last year's.
-Better controller - the Elite controller looks amazing, despite it's high price.
In short, the Xbox One will be a better console this year than it's been ...
I suppose you have a link to where Dan Greenwalt says specifically "Forza is an arcade racing game with sim elements." My guess is you're making that up yourself.
Forza has always been a sim. It may not be considered "hardcore" because it has assists that can be turned on OPTIONALLY to allow for a pick up and play experience, and to allow a greater audience to experience it. But that still doesn't change the FACT that it's a sim, and anyone w...
Forza IS a sim - sorry to rain on your insecure trolling parade.
@Soap Shoes
"you don't win the year by only having four big games at the end with NOTHING the rest of the year."
"tons of 3rd party exclusives PS4 is getting this year doesn't count for any logical reason at all."
So, you want to count only the four big titles for Xbox One, and claim they have NOTHING the rest of the year, but you complain when people don't count ALL of the PS4 titles? You can't have it bo...
Why? Most gamers aren't interested in one game and one game only. It's a huge marketing advantage for MS because Fallout 4 & Tomb Raider are two huge titles, and Xbox One is the ONLY console that can play BOTH of them.
Deciding not to PM me is the smartest thing you've said. You've spouted enough ignorance and stupidity already on the main thread - at least my inbox is still fanboy free.
Owning all consoles doesn't disqualify you from being a fanboy. You clearly are. Ignorant biased comments like yours are what make you a fanboy.
"The discussion was regarding more Xbox games coming to PC. If that happens there are less and less reason to buy an XBO with each game"
Again, you're just assuming that the majority of people would rather game on a PC than on a console. Wishful thinking doesn't qualify as an informed comment...
How are they killing Xbox? Even if some games come to PC, there are many that won't. Why would anyone build a gaming PC to play SOME Xbox games when, for the same price or less, you can buy an actual Xbox One and play ALL of them?
Which games exactly are 720p on Xbox One while being 1080p on PS4? Certainly not Batman - the subject of this article.
