Is cow damage control at an all time high?

You would think after the launch of the PS4 on the 15th this would be one of there happiest weeks. But instead it's been filled with insecurity and butthurt. All we heard was how amazing Killzone Shadow Fall is gonna be, how it was going to to put the franchise on the map and dethrone other shooters like Halo. The hype surrounding this game was ridiculous. Once reviews came in, it was flop city. Resogun a indie game is the PS4's best launch title. Sad considering cows claim the PS4 is about games and first party exclusives. Yet the system launched with only 2 exclusives.

Then the Taco Bell early access fiasco when countless PS4 bricked console reports came pouring in. Followed by the now 20,000+ defected systems now. Sony fans resorted to the RRoD that happened to the 360 8 years ago as there only line of success.

What happened next set many cows over the edge. Since E3 lems had to listen to how Killzone really shows off the PS4 power with its stunning graphics. Many claiming the Xbox On could never achieve that kind of visuals in its life time. However a final build if a game called Ryse changed all that completely. IGN said "Ryse graphics are by far the best of any next gen game", eurogamer followed suit saying "visuals of Ryse are unmatched". Many cows wrote this off and resorted to denial. They still lay claim that Killzone has the best graphics. Also adding that this is Gamespot, not IGN or eurogamer. Those sites are apparently on the MS payroll. Well then during gamespots live stream of the Xbox One when showing gameplay of Ryse, what happened next set a fire storm of epic proportions. Gamespot also complemented Ryse for "having the best graphics of next gen".

The press has not been kind to cows this week. Some praise the PS4 and I agree it's a good system. But is it prefect? No it's far from perfect.

Cows eager to regain the upper hand they've had since E3 have been attacking the Xbox One launch lineup. First Dead Rising 3 that scored the same as there flagship title Killzone. They call it a flop. Next, Killer Instinct that actually out scored Killzone. Then Forza Motorsports 5 in which they claim was going to be a mega flop yet turned in a 9. Now all there attention is turned to Ryse. Now I don't expect it to score better then a 8.

But make no mistake, the exclusives for Xbox One are turning in much better reviews and there is no shortage of fun for the system.

The Xbox One is proving to be one hell of a system and more and more people are taking notice.

Good effort, but you are too obvious 0/10

too long, didnt read

yes, they are and its pretty hilarious.

COWS Damage Control is at Defcon 10 right now and there are usually on 5 Defcons. lol!!

Also the game is Froza 5, not 6. That one probably won't be out until 2015.

I can pretty much tell where this is going, cow hate aside neither console is spectacular but cows had hyped the PS4 for nearly a year, of course damage control is going to be high when things didn't go as they expected and since the XB1 is doing great considering all the bad PR it got earlier this year.

It is, the PS4's launch has been.... underwhelming to put it lightly.

This grace period for the lems is likely to be short-lived though. Forza 5 is very good, but beyond that MS can only turn to very old and burnt-out franchises, or try and create new IPs. Remember, this generation is probably going to last for at least 6 or 7 years.

Its unclear if 343 can actually handle the Halo franchise in the same way Bungie did [just look at how quickly the Halo 4 community fizzled out], and Gears of War has even less potential for a good sequel than God of War.

It's hilarious how The God Machine™, made by the gamers, for the gamers, managed to launch without any, well, games

Good post and very true.

The never ending cycle of over-hype and disappointment continues.

buu buuu Resogun!

This remains to be seen. Microsoft has done quite well in regards to the quality of their launch lineup [compared to Sony anyway, which isn't saying much], but we still don't know if this is actually going to translate into sales and market share. Microsoft still has very formidable obstacles in this regard.

What's wrong with Resogun? Seems like a good game?

Apart from the OUYA clone Resogun, it's been an absolute disaster for cows. DC is off the charts with no signs of letting up :(

It seems like an excellent game, it's just getting hate because cows have hyped the arrival of the God Station to change the world of gaming and the only game to receive reasonably unanimous positive reviews was an indie download title which they're now hopelessly trying to cling to as some sort of system seller.

They do it to themselves.

huh? lol theyre like 3 cows on SW.. PS4 is out nobody cares what you kids think

I Notice 2 things:

1. Thread is full of lems stroking eachother

2. OP is a DC essay too long for anyone to read lol

Yup looks like LEMS are insecure as usual.

Lmao

Just like all things in SW, its whatever you think it is.

The XB1 is already sold out everywhere, the only question is how many units were actually shipped for round 1. If both consoles sold out but PS4 is launching in more countries than it's obvious that Sony is going to sell more consoles face value, if all the XB1's sold out then there really isn't a problem.

Of course in the long run...that's a different story.

I'm sure it is a good game just like Geometry Wars 1 and 2 is but Cows used to mention how arcade/indie games sucked and all that so it's really funny how suddenly they rely on them 8 years later.

nothing beats you after reveal and e3, man the sheer quantity of bs you made those days is nowhere near the bs you make now.

A good downloadable game.

..when that's all you have left

Well, ...

t'was the night before X1 launch,

and all through the house,

no one was gaming,

with cows butthurt the end. doesn't even have to rhyme or makes sense.

--------------------------------------------------------

Honestly though, they had this coming by hyping the PS4 to space and back. Its also still a great console, and will have some killer games in the future, but their bashing spree just came back to bite them in the ass.

yes

your system is still 40% weaker and costs $100 more, keep trying kid.

since you are judging consoles based on launch games you should retire from internet and all electronics, but I will let you play Tetris.

I've seen very, very few Cows posting about how much they like their system or the games. But maybe they are playing them. Who knows.

based on this thread and the circle jerking it seems that is not the cows the ones that are insecure. Just saying.... XD

Because who wants to play an indie side scroller for the next 2 years while waiting for a good game? So its not that there is anything wrong with resogun, its the whole line-up is juts so bad

Awesome post! +10!

Well of course it isn't a system seller. You know what's selling the PS4 atm? MS. They can't do anything right in the eyes of the public. That and the ps4 having the better version of big multiplatform titles like ac, bf and cod. Also price and the inevitable barrage of AAA sony first party titles.

There's really no point in buying an X1 or PS4 atm. But the reason why so many core gamers are getting the ps4 over the x1 is because they don't want to be brushed aside mid way through the gen and given nothing but halo/forza/gears and kinect titles, AGAIN. The money hats will stop just like they did last gen. However we can count on sony to deliver excellent first party titles throughout the gen consistently. MS need to invest in better first party studios, until then, the X1 is pointless for me.

Yeah, reminds me of the TLOU flop. So much DC.

Fixed that for you.

never judge consoles at launch, everyone knows this.

this is painful to watch, lemmings know their system sucks and it costs $100 more than PS4.

What?! Who gives a shit if it's downloadable. I can name dozens of downloadable titles only from steam/psn/xbl that destroy full retail games. Didn't a downloadable only title (at the time) win GOTY here at your beloved Gamespot? Journey was it?

HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Dude, cows have been have circle-jerk threads every day since E3! EVERY DAY. On top of that, the typical cow banter has included such classics as "the PS4's vastly superior hardware", "The Ps4 is 4X more powerful than XBone", "The PS4 is going to sell 2-3 million more than XBone this year", and my personal favorite "Microsoft is going to sell off Xbox division - it's confirmed!"

Cows are the insecure buttholes in SW, not the sheep, hermits, or lemmings.

It got reviewed as 20$ games,can't really compare it to a full fledged 60$ retail

Dead Rising 3 matched Shadow Fall on Gamespot and topped it on Metacritic. Forza 5 scored 9. Damn, AAA out the gate. Now with the prospect of Ryse actually being decent, which I'm still baffled by, it looks like the cows are the ones getting Xboned :/.

Especially after all of the things said over the past months. And not just here on SW, but it's been everywhere game related across the net with core, outspoken Sony fans. They seem to have put their foot in their mouths, regarding game scores at least. On hardware though, I give Playstation gamers a pass for clowning on Microsoft. They've got something to brag about.

I don't pay too much attention to initial console sales, so the idea of PS4 outselling the 360 worldwide by five hundred-or-so thousand doesn't interest me. The games do. And it's there, if you take reviews into consideration, that XBO is murking the PS4. Not only in reviews, but the slightly higher variety of games available at launch is an advantage. I bet cows are just praying for Sony's worldwide studios to hurry up with some games. On the flip side, XBOX only gamers who invest into the metagame, you better take advantage of this moment while you can, because by the middle of this console cycle, exclusives will be like roaches on PS4. As soon as you squash one, another will pop up!

(Shadow Fall is better than reviews suggest BTW. Multiplayer is raw as hell. That ain't damage control, that's me telling it like it is. Multiplayer is fucking dope!)

EDIT: Sorry, to follow up on the actual question: No, it's not at an all time high. That was holiday 2006-2007.

Why you think lems sound so desperate writing a blog thread like this one and making themselves look like the victim? Here's why:

i knew it. damage controlling for the playstation 4.

Um...

DEFCON 1 is maximum threat level, aka WAR.

DEFCON 5 is Peacetime, no threats.

DEFCON 10 would be like sitting back and smoking weed with horny supermodels.

You got your DEFCON scale backwards there.

The only damage control I've been involved in is trying to stay awake at work long enough to get home and log back into Shadow Fall. And yes, Resogun is that good.

Tc you writing that essay is DC

Word. Shadow Fall multiplayer and Resogun are insanely good.

In addition to that, Warframe, DC Universe, Blacklight: Retribution, and the upcoming Planetside 2 as free-to-play is a big treat for PS4 gamers. But I have them on PC.

Because Danny likes the PS4? I'm sure lots of people like the PS4. ****, I'm sure MOST people who bought a PS4 are currently sat at home enjoying their PS4.

Your own video even highlights that he is really enjoying the console in *spite* of it not having any major system-seller games available.

Face it - the thing got over-hyped, like every fucking Sony console release in history, including their handhelds. You clowns set yourselves up for failure time after time after time.

Had you just calmed the **** down and stopped allowing yourselves to get ridiculously over-excited you wouldn't feel the need to defend the launch as hard and as just-plain-sad as so many are doing right now.

You take a good console with a pretty routine launch and make it look disappointing not because it actually is, but because you forever go completely insane in the pre-release hype.

you're correct. We been salivating all over the PS4 while all lems have been doing, even now ironically, is cry in a corner complaining about the evil cows. In other words, you guys are as insecure as a person can get and I don't blame you... Xbox One doesn't look like it'll be able to compete against the PS4 on any front. Not in power, not in sales and definitely not in exclusive Triple A games.

Damn dude, who is going to read all that?

But I'm loving my PS4 thus far. :)

No damage control here. Im actually enjoying my superior versions of BF4 and COD Ghost while lemmings will be stuck with their pathetic 720P versions.

And I payed $100 less to play them and wont be spied on by the government with kinect.

Lemmings are butthurt and are in damage control because PS4 sold one million in the first day. This will be 3 out of 4 generations that Sony will win while MS has never won a console generation and never will. They''ll be back in last place and burried in a hole where they belong.

"bu bu but teh cloud and teh kinect and teh 720P!!" :cry: LOL!!!

The current cow meltdown is one of the more interesting things to happen on Gamespot in a long time.
