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.

In my opinion, Microsoft is too new to the console wars, so we are always associated with young people. So all the "old school" PS fans now act like their superior to the average xbox fan.

This thread is the only reason I stick around to this site anymore.

A long time ago, I came to this website as a "nintendo fanboy". I got fed up with another forum because I wanted to talk about Xbox. As reality set it with the Wii U, I got more and more excited about the Xbox One. I wanted to be able to talk about it with other gamers. Wherever I went, IGN, YT, etc. I couldn't find one place where I could talk Xbox without people attacking me, or other nonsense. I started commenting in this thread I believe in November, or December of 2013, and it's definitely the best place and the best part about this website. We're more of a community in this site than what I see outside of it. Met some cool people in this thread as well! 

If this thread were to go away, I'd definitely stop posting around the site. I may check back here and there, but for the most part I would end up stop coming here and ultimately leave.

Ice :') I'm so happy you, Angelus and seece ended up coming back. You guys are pretty awesome :) 

Angelus left? Why do people keep leaving?

I don't think he left after all. He has pulled back on posting, but he's probably playing DA I ;) 

@Bold: lol.... don't really want to get into that xD 

Welcome back Iceland. Your new GT is kinda weak sauce though... just saying

Also............... DAMN!!!!!!!!! DAT SUNSET DLC = Day one :)

Glad they added those moves to the water as well. Wish it came out a little sooner, but I'm glad it's still 2014!

Now all I need is more Forza Horizon 2 DLC...

It is pretty nice that we were able to create a place and something that i'd consider a sub-community. Though id like to have more control over it and allow more soical behavior we have great users and great variety. I enjoy the fact that im not always defending everything in this thread and also that i can talk about games that i enjoy regardless of the platform without being attacked or somebody trying to downplay it.

You guys and the constant support make this thread great

I thought ughtful you didn't like Xbox lol. But yeah it sucks Haha. The sales and power difference is making Sony fans cocky. But I think the real culprit Is last gen. Sony fans were picked on last gen a lot so they are bitter and this is their way of getting back. Not everyone ofc

Please keep this out of this thread. We know they're watching and reporting and it's not good discussion.

I'm sorry if that seemed rude or anything but it was just an honest assumption from things I've read. A lot of Sony fan boys tend to bring up last gen a lot. So it seemed that they were bitter. I should have said fan boys I guess but like I said originally  not all Sony fans are like that and a lot of them are good people

Anybody else think that EA needs to bring EA Access to Xbox 360? They have such a huge catalog of older titles that few people are buying nowadays anyway, they'd make more money putting those on EA Access. I know I'd pay $30 a year for it, maybe even $40 or $50 since their 360 library is bigger than their Xbox One library. 


preety sure the point of EA access was to give last gen users an arugment/reason to upgrade to current gen thorough a  presived value/savings offering. it will not go there

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about EA access. What games are they offering these days? I might subcribe just to try it.

Wtf.. Dead Rising 3 does have a timer in Normal mode? I thought there was no timer in that mode only in nightmare mode

Has anyone here played it? Has the timer been that much of a nuisance? Do you feel rushed?
