@tuna_walker: Tuna sweetheart i'll leave it to you form here, i left the site for over 7 years now after the reboot for a reason, just saw the post on FB and i couldn't resist :) Please feel free and enojy XD
@consolehaven: I don't play racing nor sports, been gaming since the 80s nonstop , i play about anything (but the ones i mentioned above) RPGs and Horror is my favorite genres. When i bought my Xbox 360 i did it just to play games like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey,And while i loved games like Uncharted and Bioshock i'm simply not interested in mediocre shooter such as Halo or Gears. teenagers might find these games interesting though.
I'm an artist i express myself through many different means, and video games are one of them, they're no longer just a hobby nor a way to pass time. this is 2020 gaming is language a culture on its own now. And what i need more from the game. i need to feel connected (oh and i'm not talking about Online services here) i need to feel connected to any of the game's aspects to maintain my interest in the game. characters, the world or to the story anything...i simply don't feel this way playing any of the Xbox Exclusives, and while i enjoyed the first two Fable games to a certain degree, i failed to get anything of a value out of the last installments.
I follow the games not the console ..It's just Sony has more and way better games to offer as simple as that. Heck i even enjoyed the origanl Xbox more than i ever did when i first got my 360. I might get the new Xbox later on just to play the few rare RPGs but that's it ...
But to even consider or think that "loading time" or frame rate are enough reason for me to pick a side..i mean it's kinda laughable ..i would've ditched consoles all together after 38 years of gaming to embrace PC.....
Fun fact check about PC...no matter how powerful your rig might get..there'll always be frame drops, technical issues, and a tons of workaround just to get a game to run properly..why is that? because it's not all about the hardware power..but also the Operating system! Windows sucks as, the most unstable OS of all time lol The PlayStation uses Linux like involvement, and it's a dedicated gaming console ..while Windows is being super busy installing crap, running unneeded signed spyware like apps in the background while switching portieres for these apps on the fly (thus comes the slowdowns, frame drops and all kinds of different other freezes and bugs lol) i've been to many gaming sites and forums for the past 15 years and watching PC gamers waste their free time debating frame rates instead of actually playing the damn thing i mean it's just sad....and now MS is doing such an amazing job bringing that unhealthy shit to consoles
-MS Boss: Make us a bright new console that'll put Sony to shame -Stupid dev: A CONSOLE SHAPED LIKE A GENERIC LOOKING PC CASE! -MS Boss: We're clicking!
I mean thanks for the suggester why even bother getting a console shaped like PC when you can get the actual thing with MORE power and freedom....
Next on Dawn of Lost Gamers season 10 (aka future 10th Gen)
Ms Boss: Now you can upgrade your Xbox LM 127 with any GPU your heart desire Gamers: Um...you mean like a PC? MS Boss: Bite me *inserts a Steve Ballmer meme*
@gord0nd: Ok now this is just sad someone is feeling a bit grumpy today. But i don't believe you understood my point, enojy whatever system you want. (i own many different consoles form each of these three competitive companies, except for the Switch. i'm loyal to no one) and just because i didn't praise your system of choice it doesn't mean that i'm praising the other out of sheer blind loyalty. people have different taste and while some do have poor taste in things but they can't be blamed for it. Thus comes the term ..whatever floats your boat!
@sladakrobot: Oh you poor lil thing you break my heart here lemme give you a hug .. . See i only represent myself. fanboys are annoying Sony/Microsoft alike they all are and you're one of them? oh well :)
I simply prefer the PlayStation because they had and still have the biggest and better library of games for over three generations i care for the games, never gave a damn about frame rates nor any of the nonsense brought to our community by those PC elitist wannabe gamers (these entities were busy flipping out watching frame rates drops for over a decade now ...while we've been busy playing and beating actual games left and right it's just sad don't you think? ) ..i mean i still play my PS1 and PS2 even today, don't care about the hardware i'm a gamer it's about the games always been. The PS2 had the lowest specs back in the day compared to the Xbox and GameCube ...still, ruled the 6th gen and survived throughout the next two gens as well and crowned as the best console of all time ...it's all about the games always been
Also raise your standards for crying out cows people.
@johnny0779: Yeah, because gamers are too busy to spare few extra seconds to play better titles ( while wasting 10 hours on one gaming session) i'm convinced i'm gonna lower my standards and play generic games just because it loads few seconds faster on the Xbox ....lololololol
To me personally IX is one of the best FF games. It's just gamers were a bit in a struggle to accept a boy with a tail after Cloud and Lionheart been introduced with a splash
I don't have a positive nor a negative opinion about the game (simply i havne't played the damn thing)
BUT...reading the comments down below, it seems that after all these years GS haven't changed a bit! anyone with a slightly positive opinion about a game will either get bullied or treated like a Sony fanboy....I mean how DARE they have a different or a positive opinion?.... God forbid!
I'm glad i'm not part of this toxic community, i rarely comment or visit the site anymore.
I do miss Jody, Brain, Sophia and all the good old folks. GS (once) was one of the greatest gamin sites on the web. eh
Devs are feeling kinda discouraged because gamers are becoming more and more obnoxious everyday . ( then later to complain about not having a story focused/single player kinda games anymore) they'd tear a game down and bash the developers before they even get to play the damn thing, mixing (or forcing) real world political hell and agendas into our not so-sacred culture anymore even when there's non!
Cloud gaming, microtransactions, multiplayer fixations......Your brought this to yourselves with your constant nagging and bashing for decent developers and game makers over the past decade, way to go!
It's sooo weird that after all these years i stumble upon this blog, And here's 2020 ...We're just not the same people anymore (we are, but it feels that way) Although this feeling right now, as if you hit that fast-forward button to play all these years in like one second (with all the images, events and stuff).....You feel different, sad, maybe happy at the same time, just temporary emotions and thoughts flashes in your head . But then in the end one only one thought is gonna and will stand out the most.....I have changed!
Do you think we can downgrade from Windows 10 to 7 and still feels the same? just because it was a simpler time? Haha
Oh man what a trip, (just hit my 41 and i was not so happy about it XD ) Even though i barely visit the site anymore, but i was just doing some search and saw your blog title in the search results "Ahh, 32. You were an interesting year. Love and self lost and found," it was on display right under the blog title in the search results, The reality of the first line spoke to me greatly. I think it is so accurate to how winter can make you feel, all my days feels like winter now heh
P.s: (Just in case the old notification system got fixed and you read this) ...i'm sorry! lol
