I find the internet personality in question to be largely pro-corporate unless it impacts him or he can use it to attack a personal bugbear. But even that aside, he spends a lot of time telling his audience how policies that seem anti-consumer are really totes pro-consumer.Fox12 said:

No, actually, that was a pretty good example of what I meant. One day, Mario might win a poll and people would be outraged at the Nintendo bias. Then maybe the PS1 would win the "best library" thing and suddenly GameFAQs is teh bias towards sony. Then maybe the next Halo would be the most anticipated exclusive FPS and the site was full of Xbots!
...probably had to be there. >.>
(TBH, actually a little surprised the numbers are that low on Battlefield 1. Not that I think Zelda deserves to lose, but after the internet did a slow clap for the trailer, I'd have thought more people would be HYPED)
I'm lost. What exactly did Sony not answer?Michael Prymula said:
That makes sense. I was a little put off when Microsoft was described as pro-consumer. I can get how someone would think that if they only paid attention to the surface details, but if you look a little deeper then you realize that Microsoft is still Microsoft. Microsoft is supporting cross platform play, and wants to support PC gaming? Great! Until you realize that they're obsessed with DRM, want an anti-consumer PC monopoly, and have zero interest in improving their customer service in the PC market. Why be pro-consumer when you can just strong arm everyone? Thanks, but I'll take... Literally anyone else in the gaming market.Something Amyss said:I find the internet personality in question to be largely pro-corporate unless it impacts him or he can use it to attack a personal bugbear.

between Microsoft and Sony conferences i say this yearE3 unfair for Sony because Microsoft got 2 hours conference and Sony only get 1 hours
There's a running joke that I hear about E3 (to the point there's drinking games and my friend makes a bingo card - it filled out this year) where it'll be everything BUT games.
I dunno about other people, but when they get up on stage and start showing social stuff or streaming or movies or whatever my eyes glaze over. That or they announce a game and it's all pre-rendered cinematics.
I can't even tell you my surprise when I saw Sony's conference begin and end with gameplay footage. Perhaps very safe, very deliberate gameplay footage, but we still got gameplay and quite a bit of it.
For a brief glimmer of a moment it felt like it was about video games, that's why I enjoyed the Sony conference, even if none of the new games excited me.

Happy we got a Last Guardian release date though
E3 was terrible. It was literally just buzzwords and pre-rendered cutscenes. I watched the Xbox next .5 720 clip four times and they just rattled off specs and said nothing about it but EXCITING words. You know what would have been sick? If they played some sort of tech demo on it to show what it can do but nah. Words. AMAZING. What we can do is great. Never before. Yeah real good conference.
I only wish I knew "amazing" would be the word everyone was using to describe everything this year, or I would have included it on our E3 drinkgo.
Literally the only thing that excited me was Kojimas game, which surprised me because I hated the MSG series, but it looks different as fuck.

DDDD"Look I'm aware that posts attacking it like mine, and defending it like yours are going to be the status quo now.
We'll be seeing "the new ips and library are shit!" and the "no I like them lol" posts for at least another month because all of this is

But I'm sick of announcements for things without anything concrete behind them. I hate seeing developers stand on stage saying how incredible something is and to "take a look firsthand!" and have there be nothing but cutscenes that show nothing and footage with such high graphical quality there is no way in hell it's ever going to be in the game.
I'm not 18, single, rolling in fun money anymore to let me buy all consoles with a stacked PC and any game that comes out anymore. I'm 26, married with a mortgage and other shit, doesn't mean I can't afford >muh games, but I can't afford as many if I want to play something when it comes out, so I have to be more selective and it's hard to be selective about it when everything presented for the most part is bullshit.
Companies get sued for egregious false advertising, it should be the same.
I have no idea if it's going to be a shooter, adventure, farcry clone or death simulator whatever. I've hated all kojimas previous games so it would be no surprise to me if I hated this one. It's just the only thing that excited me because of the way the pre-rendered nongameplay cutscene looked different to all the other pre-rendered non-gameplay cutscenes. At least one game from the entirety of E3 had to get me to look forward to something I suppose, so yeah point conceded you got me.
Oh and there was Fifa, having an actual career mode like NBA2k, finally. I liked the look of it, but I hope it's more like 2k15s RPG elements than 2k16's spike lee cringemovie
This is what shits me. If there is nothing presentable why are we presenting it with such force? If it's an announcement of a product why is there a developer montage saying how great it is when there is nothing presentable? There are people already saying what it can do, how what it can do is amazing so why the hell can't we see any of what it can do? How does this make sense? If we're at the point of montages hyping up a consoles specs, there should be something to show for that at E3.
Even as a guy who games predominately on PC, I find his anti-console attitude grating - thus I can't be arsed to listen to his rants anymore. Not everyone wants the "flexibility" and all the hassle that comes with building and maintaining a PC nor is everyone able to afford it.Saelune said:
Who cares what you game on? It's the games that matter no?
So what if Uncharted 4 is PS4 exclusive? It's made by Sony themselves. If you want to play it, just buy a PS4 - it's not like you can't afford it when you are willing to drop $600 on a GPU; which isn't even a whole system like the PS4.
You are misrepresenting what TB said, especially saying these were bold pro-consumer new announcements.
It didn't make Sony look scared or pathetic. I honestly don't see why you'd think that. There's literally nothing about Sony's conference that would make them seem scared of MS. They don't NEED to answer MS. They are ahead and they are doing their own thing. Hell, if they started calling out MS I'd argue that would be just petty and pointless.Michael Prymula said:
Driver updates. Things breaking. Figuring out what settings would work best on your setup. Heck, figuring out whether your setup can run the game decently is a hassle ... etc.Amir Kondori said:
Not everyone is capable of keeping track of computer hardware news, nor do most people want to. With consoles, if you see the PS4 logo, you know it will run and it will run decently. Zero burden of knowledge involved.
MS is engaging in what is known as FUD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt).Jandau said:
They haven't even nailed down what their new consoles are going to do yet.
Sony is probably holding its cards close until they have finalize everything - which is kind of what Apple does as well.
System updates. Consoles bricking (see the red ring of death), Figuring settings out can be done by your GPU software (NVIDIAs software even changes them to that at the click of a button) and games run terrible on consoles as well. Sometimes they are near unplayable just because you are on the wrong console. (Skyrim on PS3, Hyrule Warriors on 3DS).deadish said:
System updates are pretty much automatic ...Fhqwhgod said:
As for things breaking ...see this is the good thing about consoles. You have only 2 possible culprits, either your console is broke (then you blame Sony/Microsoft) or the game is bugged to hell (then you blame the game developer). Console broke? If still in warranty, bug the manufacturer for a replacement - else get a new one. Game broken ... flame the game developer on the internet I suppose.
PC? /sigh Could be the game being broken on your specific setup. Could be bugged drivers. Could be hardware going bad ... good luck figuring out which piece it is. Solution? Trial and error + google.
