I think I'll enjoy it, and that's all that matters to me. You can't expect everyone to enjoy the same games. There will ALWAYS be critics even to some of the best games of all time. I don't like a lot of beloved franchises, and I've seen countless people on these forums rip apart games that I love. That's gaming. We all have different tastes. Let's not lose sight of that and forget that we are all here for the same reason. We all Love gaming. We can't all love the same kinds of Art! How boring would that be! I love when one of my best friends gets a game I never really gave much thought, and when I'm over there I get totally sucked in and become a huge fan! (Hello Portal & Portal 2!)
I see so much arguing on here and it really comes off like this:
"wow this game looks amazing! I can't wait! Day 1 for me!"
re: "dude really? This game looks bland and boring. Nothing new. Looks like a PS3 game. Pass"
.... Sure maybe it's not that extreme, but it's close. The worst part, if this game was an XBOne game, Sony fans would be bashing it, and XOne owners would be defending it to the death. This brand loyalty crap is out of hand and it's really disappointing me as a gamer. This will be the first gen I will have the financial stability to fully enjoy being a 3 console gamer, and dabble with PC gaming. I know I'm excited and I'm freeing myself from a console loyalty and it's really liberating!! I can't wait to get down with some Zelda U! and try out Sunset Over Drive, and definitely will be trying The Order, and so many other future games that will come for all 3. |
You are spot on with your opinion about brand loyalty. This is the most sad part of it all but at least vgchartz is better than GAF. The mentality there is way more “be with us or against us“ with dozens of people to hunt down anyone who is skeptical of an exclusive to make memes about him, laughing at him and thus creating a place where you don't want to participate.
That said I really enjoyed Gears of War judgment while it got bad reviews

This will be my first Microsoft console. My brother and I were planning to get PS4's so we could game together on our days off.... and he went out and got an X Box One and he loves it! So now that might end up being my first purchase.. but I hope to get all 3 hopefully within a few months of each other. I can't wait to play all the Halo's for the first time. Also is there any way I can play Alan Wake on the One? That game seriously has me watching YouTube gameplay videos, it is seriously right up my alley. Also as I saw on my brothers XOne, I love all the apps. The Go Pro app is amazing and gives me ideas for my own videos.
Now I'm just hoping the PS4 lives up to my expectations lol Because I had it very high up. But the X One really caught me off guard. It's far better than most make it out to be.
All this from someone who has been a Sony/Nintendo/PC guy most his life. I mean look no further than my post hitory to see I used to be a slight Sony troll and apologist =/ lol Freeing myself from those brand loyalty chains has been amazing.
