I hope this rant isnt too far off topic but:
It is infuriating being a XBox owner on the internet. Every, EVERY time I say anything not negative(including neutral comments) about XB on the internet I get verbally attacked by several people(I can assume Sony people) about: Sony does it better, PS4 is selling better, Im a fanboy, yeah after a $150 price cut, PS4 has ___ amount of indys coming out in that time, ___ was moneyhatted by M$, PSN is giving out more/better free games, XB1 DRM, XB1 less powerful, parity, Sony did it first, etc, etc. God forbid you say anything resembling criticism about Sony.
Earlier today I said in a SF4 thread on Reddit(? I forget) about how MS should strike back at Sony by moneyhatting Lost Planet 4. Maybe my humor sucks but that comment was jab at LP. What happens. I get a bunch of messages saying how MS started the war. "Strike back at what, MS moneyhatted Dead Rising" and so on.
What the hell is going on. It's not just this site. Any site, even non gaming ones, its like there is an army waiting to start shit. I used to laugh at a site like N4G, but now every website I go to is becoming like that. It's like Sony is paying people to monitor every action on the internet.
I feel like this thread is one of the few bastions of sanity left. I just want to enjoy internet conversation without being constantly attacked.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
