Xbox One vs PS4

Ever since the original Xbox, I've bled black and green, swearing allegiance to Microsoft and its consoles. However, if the title isn't enough of a hint, put simply, things have changed.

It all started when Microsoft decided to ignore me, the core gamer, and instead focus on sports, tv, sports, tv, tv, tv... well, you get the picture. Then came the whole DRM issue, the always online connection and the privacy concerns surrounding the new Kinect. Not to mention the company's lack of transparency with their marketing, placing almost every heavily advertised feature behind a pay wall.

While the company has done a 180 on the issues that concerned gamers the most, personally, i just can't stand by Microsoft any longer. You see, it would be stupid of me to disagree with (and complain about) the company's practices, yet continue to support them by purchasing their product - I may as well shut up.

And so, my journey across to Sony has begun. A journey, of course, made easier by the fact that not only is the PlayStation 4 cheaper and apparently more powerful, but Sony held me, the core gamer, at the forefront of its mind when it launched and marketed the PS4.

Is there anyone else who is jumping ship? And do you agree or disagree with my opinions/thoughts?

"Video game reviews have always been based on the writer's opinion of a game. Keywords: "WRITER'S OPINION."

Carolyn is entitled to her opinion, just like all of you, but to attack her personally, calling her "it" and a "transgender slob" is downright disgusting - it's a dog act and you do nothing but reveal your own true character. While we're all gamers, we're human beings first - have a heart people!"

The above is a comment I tried posting on the GTA V review, but for some reason continues to be moderated.

After reading the majority of the comments on there, I am truly ashamed to think that this is what our gaming community has become. Since when did we stop respecting the opinions of others? Since when did we start attacking another human being for sharing her opinions on a video game? Some, if not many, have taken it a step further and have just ouright bullied Carolyn, disregarding her review altogether. 

It's sad, disgusting, and f**king immature... Where have people's hearts gone?

[QUOTE="RichTheRookie"]Haha, you're friends already think it's out Darkeroid? I don't know about GTA V being game of the year or generation just yet, especially with The Last of Us in the picture. Thoughts?Darkeroid2212

Yep. Some of their friends keep telling them that GTA V is out in USA and because Bangladesh is less developed games come about 2-3 months later.

That's not good at all. It would be hard dodging spoilers then, wouldn't it? PS just point your friends to my article, the first paragraph should clear things up ;)

Thanks Shellcase! I really appreciate the feedback. Could you please point it out to me? You and me both! This year looks like it may be the year of the PlayStation.

Nicely done!

I'm a bit hyped for V. Not nearly as I was for IV though, as I loved III but was really let down by IV. The characters sucked, the story was terrible, gunplay was cumbersome, the driving (while feeling more realistic) was not as fun, and there really was not much to do. But I think a lot of the reason for that was because R* had put all their energy into engineering the new engine. Now that's done and optimized, so I'm expecting a lot more in terms of polish and variety of content in this one. Plus they say they're trying to make the shooting like Max Payne 3 and the driving better, and their storytelling prowess has improved. I have faith, but my expectations are not sky-high. MirkoS77
Thanking you kindly! I' couldn't have put it better. The hype that surrounded IV was ridiculous. So much so that it hurt the game when it finally released (as it failed to live up to its hype). Here's hoping you're correct and Rockstar surprises us with a better game than we expect.
