Within gaming forums, fanboys and the fact that they will rally around and hype up ANYTHING. I know it's not new, but the way people organize along company lines with this us versus them mentality is so juvenile and inhibits objective, critical discussion. Fuck your favourite company, they are not inherently better or more worthwhile than whoever you're trying to put down. Stop doing armchair PR for extremely rich corporations and stop mindlessly defending measures that are bad for consumers.

Microsofts paying everyone off to give them timed exclusives and to make ps3 exclusives become multiplatform. The RRoD that has claimed countless 360s yet fanboys go right out and buy another one. After my second RRoD I threw it in the trash.

Sony's outrageous pricing early on in the generation, forcing me to hold off almost 2 years into the current gen to buy a ps3. The insanely high price of the PSPGo. And the fact that Sony's customer service is absolutely TERRIBLE for the PS3.

Everything Wii. Its a casual gaming console. If you aren't much of a gamer, its for you. People that constantly say how much better the Wii is because of how well it sells are fools. Its inferior technology, graphically handicapped, overpriced, and has extremely non-innovative despite a few select titles (which are all Nintendo produced). Even the new Mario is nothing new. Same gameplay, new levels. Marvel at its lousiness. How on earth these guys got away with the Wii in the first place is beyond me. Mine collects dust unless I want to play guitar hero or Tennis.

Oh and PR for all three companies is terrible. They all run their mouthes to try and make themselves look good and the others look bad regardless of the situation.

-The MS guys leave out critical info to make it look like they are doing great, and Natal might be innovative but it will have VERY limited gaming applications (sorry MS guys).

-The Sony move looks great but its price is going to cause it to fail, just like everything else Sony has done this gen. They produce hardware that is one step ahead of the game at a price that is two steps ahead.

-Nintendo guys keep whining about how Natal and Move will fail. Sorry guys, but they'll BOTH be more advanced than what the Wii offers. And complaining that the Move is a knockoff... seriously? How many ways are there to invent a motion control controller? Did you want it to look like a giraffe?

So much hate! But still funny.

"How many ways are there to invent a motion control controller? Did you want it to look like a giraffe?"

Priceless.



So much hate? Duh. Thats the ENTIRE point of this thread, it to point out what you hate about the current gen. I wasn't going to praise anything.

Games aren't 49.99 anymore and no Jak 4.

games will become more and more expensive, and they HAVE to become more and more expensive

really, I'm impressed the video game industry was growing enough to compensate for inflation for more than 2 decades without increasing prices, but the days of the violent growth WILL end and that means games MUST become more expensive if we want to game in the future



Too bad it's not an option, but the quality plummet.

This generation has seen so many overhyped games that turn out to be shit. You can always tell what's good and what's overhyped just by looking at the gamestop wall 2 weeks after a game's release.

This will probably be remembered as the generation of inflated review scores and 10 year old games in HD.

I wasn't saying that was a bad thing.... And I guess I meant the hate was pretty spread out, and you had truthful things to say about Sony, MS, and Nintendo. Not sure why you responded in an almost hostile manner like that.



i second that mate!! Win!
