Forums - Sony Discussion - Five reasons why I despise Sony

Sony at least has good games. You know how many good games Wii has had this year according to metacritic? 4. One of thems a Golf game, one of thems a Lego game, some game called De Blob 2 and this Xenoblade.

How bad is it that all year people have waited on just the one game for the Wii which is Zelda and the last one of those was nothing special either.

LOL How can one hate a company for being good with third parties? Nintendo always went their own way and were behind on tech, and because of that Sony capitalized during the PS1 era.

#5 isn't like you... what are you on?

I am on a whole nother video game nerd level.

What? Isn't #5 quintessential Rol. It's the other 4 points that seem out of character.

After all isn't it the case that standard corporate competiton policy is to take what the lead company does and multiply by 2 in order to steal a lead? So 1-4 really fails to justify singling out Sony for hatred in particular. This then only leaves #5 as the rational (albeit irrational) reason for hating Sony: they are not Nintendo and they knocked Nintendo off their perch for 2 generations.

 

thats the point. 5 is the only one that matters. its 1-4 put in one so one through four don't even matter.

looks like youmissed it. i think you've been Rol'd?

I think I explained exactly that to Hephaestos. But I used more words and didn't tell him he'd been Rol'd.

It's been interesting to read some of the history in recent posts though. Can someone explain what was the deal with the Nintendo and Sony falling out over the play station thing that put Sony into the console game in the first place? And then can someone completely refute the first person's explanation so we can see that no one really objectively knows the full story? Thanks.

yea leranig Rol takes a brain, being well versed in srcasim and a list of other things like understanding nothing is something while being something and makes no since when trying to figure it out lol. and when you finaly understand it you get it but no nothing until he makes the next thread that has a title that pulls you in so we've all been Rol'd just by coming in this thread.

its impossible to resist.

now to your hard to explain question that i know little about. it had something to do with the DVD drive and Nintendo back dooring Sony for someone else.

and the second one is just Rol's lack of an explination to Rol you into thinking Sony stole from Nintendo by adding one of everything while reinventing the industry and the way you play games.

so really wht Rol is saying is don't trust people namely him because of the Kim possible avatar and he/they don't mean wht they say and mean wht they say while not meanning nothing at all while meanning something.

dud its a oxymoron. its Rol's world we just live in it.



Nintendo puts too many restrictions on the 3rd party devs ever since the NES era. They wanted to stay with the archaic cartridge while other companies were moving to other formats. Here are things I dislike about Nintendo:
1. The Wii pushed gaming into an endless spiral of shovelware and since M$ and Sony tried to mimic that success, they ended up getting some shovelware because of it.
2. Nintendo puts pokemon and/or Mario into any game and sells gangbusters (ie poke park, mario party 20 coming soon) no matter how mediocre or how more of the same crap they are.
3. Nintendo fans claim it was ninty that came up with the motion control concept when it's been out long before them except through no name companies, and it has been proven that Sony already had a prototype a while back so please explain that one to me.

4. Nintendo has stagnated in creating any new ip's really. I mean what was the last major one Pikmin? M$ has Gears and Alan Wake at least, Sony this gen has Resistance, Uncharted, Demon's Souls (yup joint project between SCEJ and FromSoftware), Lair (failed but at least they tried), Heavenly Sword, LBP, etc.
5. They have ported more games than all companies combined, just look at the Wii and DS. And I thought Sony was bad with the GOW origins port but damn.

See what I did there? I have another 6 to add to the list but will not bother. You are a troll that gets away with it because the mods like you (preferential treatment). When I get responses from mods such as "oh lol, you obviously don't know Rol" that's when I know the entire community has to put up with your blatant bullshit bias. Go wack off to Nintendo if that truly makes you feel better. I have gamed since the 2600 and hold no allegiance other than to the games themselves and Ninty stopped bringing anything worthwhile since Gamecube really. Nothing but tacked on motion controls, which I hope are not the case with Skyward Sword, but even if it is people are stupid enough to still buy it even if it's an inferior Zelda game. I want another great Metroid game that is not Prime, I want another glorious River City Ransom game, or another Xexyz to come out of the minds of Nintendo. Instead they are too busy depositing the money in the bank and laughing at you who keeps buying into their mediocrity.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

The only reason why Sony is doing so well is due to a decision by Nintendo, ever since they have turned into a top gaming company. Nintendo makes good games but I'm not liking casual gaming much anymore. Mario Kart is the best thing Nintendo made, now I can agree on that.

I remember as a kid feeling so mad when Playstation got its rumble pack type controller. I just wished that Nintendo would blow them out of the water for that. The 64 did not really do that bad, I don't think. They just did not keep it going long enough. I am still trying to find a cheap version of Starcraft 64

well N64 still sold 30+m units which isn't that far off from the SNES which sold 49m

I remember back in the days when almost the only gaming news I got was from EGM. Every month I would wait to see where my favorite N64 games were at. From what I say it did not do that bad at all. Usually the top 20 was half and half Nintendo. Some of those were the latest Gameboy device, but still. When a Game like Beetle Adventure Racing can come in at number 22 for the month, the consol is not that bad.

its my second fav. console of all times
