Going to be a bit of a rant, so just ignore if you want.

Concerted effort by a number of posters on multiple sites to derail any thread where it's PS exclusive or lead platform. Just look at the comments on every Order, Knack or Destiny thread. Sometimes this happens to MS exclusives too, but the feeling I get is that it is highly one sided, and getting worse each generation.

There are some justified concerns but the people who post over and over again in every thread are fairly obvious, and it's just sad that nothing can be done about this unless they stray past one rule or other. I go into some threads now already knowing who will be posting, and the tone, before even clicking on it.

Unfortunately even review sites are often pulled in to going with the flow, and we see games reviewed even by people who do not even like the genre or go along with strange ideas. No soul, generic, not open world, or not next gen enough when quite clearly these are just opinions and are impossible to argue against, but used as tools to set a mark which was decided by an agenda.

Games should be reviewed on technical achievements, visual qualities, content, and most of all, is it fun.

I'm beginning to think the internet is doing more harm than good now. It gives people far too much power to push agendas which are harming to businesses, and people who work for them.
