Forums - Gaming - Anti-Sony: PS4 hate?

When Microsoft / Nintendo aren't doing anything worthy of negative press, I do think the PS4 gets at least the same amount of hate. It still seems to get hate when the haters have very little material to go on.

Stuff like spreading the notion that the PS4 has no games, that its sales are unjustified and all because of hype and that the PS4 is all about graphics and not gameplay (as if it can't have both). The difference in reaction between Uncharted 4 and Zelda's E3 trailers was also very telling.

Not a huge amount of hate, but certainly more than most people want to believe.

Edit: Oooh, how could I forget The Last of Us: Remastered hate, probably the most ridiculous example.

Hard to believe that this is not just a joke thread.

If not, it's hard to think of what could be said to someone who even thinks that the PS4 is hated on more or equal to either the XB1 or WiiU.

When TLOUR was announced, people complained about it. Mostly about all of the remasters coming to this gen. The rest complained about the obvious cash grab. For the most part, the game itself is very well respected.

But, M$ announces the TR sequel is exclusive and there have been 50+ threads directly about this or indirectly about this. In almost every thread, people comment about how gaming is ruined by the deal and the SE/MS are evil.


The reality is that the PS4 has sold almost the same amount as both the WiiU/XB1 combined. That makes its userbase VERY large. It's not surprising that there are many more people posting against the XB1/WiiU based on that fact alone. The difference is usually in the tone of the postings. Most of the XB1/WiiU haters are very blunt and won't even allow for conversation without belittling anyone who disagrees with them.

So my answer to the OP is NO, the PS4 doesn't get hated on much.


Except that was not hate for hate, that was legitimate, these deals are useless for gamers. The game would have existed without microsoft and they prefer to use all this amount of cash to prevent some to play a whole game nstead of creating a new game, so it's common sense to hate the kind of things.

This has nothing to do with TLOU R, those who want hte game buy it, those who dont care dont buy and it doesnt prevent ND to do other games.

Except when Sony does the exact same thing to get 10-20% more exclusive content in Destiny there is hardly a blip. Everyone moneyhats, it's a part of the industry.

Except i specified " whole " game , you cant compare a whole AAA game to some tiny bonus that doesnt change the whole experience it's not the same thing at all.

Moneyhatting a whole game cost much more, and more than prevent gamers to play it, they also prevent MS to create their own games, so they dont benefit to the industry or stay in the classic Halo/Gears/Forza, i think every gamer is sad to see how such huge company uses all this amount of cash.

You guys can call me crazy as well xD but i know for sure that some people really really hate Sony brand in general, idk why and i don't care to be honest but there is this hate that i cant understand the reason for it, just take a look at comments made about Sony phones, even the Z2 the perfect and one of the best(if not THE best) phones to date gets a lot of hate in compare to some lower Samsung and LG phones.

IDK what website you go on, but in most tech websites people adore the Z2, much more than Samsung even. On more mainstream sites like Yahoo, the S5 gets a lot more attention, but it's not like the Z2 gets any hate. It's pretty much unanimously agreed that it's a good phone. It's not as popular as the S5 or the iPhone because it hasn't sold nearly as much. It still hasn't even been released to carriers in the USA.

LG gets so much love because they have the best phone out on the market, period. What other manufacturer offers dat 2560x1600 screen?

websites like gsmarena or phonesarena! sadly what u say is true and Z2 isn't that popular, such great phone i can't find a major falw in it no matter how hard i try! DUDE? really? 2560x1600 is only good for killing the performance of GPU and battery life! u just can't see any pixels when ppi is higher than 400! no matter how hard u try, that said i like the sound quality and loudness of G3 very much :)



Add me if u want :)

Lots of jellyness when it comes to such market domination. People love to hate success. Plus this place is ninty haven, wtf can you really expect? on a forum where more polls choose to buy watchdogs on wiiu then PS4 X1 combined.

Some people dont think either the last of us or PS4 are gods gifts to the world = Sony gets the most hate.

The xbox fans have been bashed into submission on this site from people who obviously prefer sony. Nintendo is doing so badly pretty much everyone bands together to have a laugh when bad news gets reported, even nintendo fans. Of course there are definatey the overly zealous fans out there who like to put down for the sake of putting down, this is from all sides though.

Sony fans are the majority here, and there a few fans who refuse to cop any criticism because the winning console is above criticism.

On a screen that is 5.5", I assure you, you certainly can. And the G3 has one of the best battery lives and aces benchmarks despite its screen.

A "tiny bonus"? 10-20% extra content is a "tiny bonus"? Mmk.

And I guess No Man's Sky doesn't exist. Sony helps with some aspects of the game, it releases only on PS4 and PC, with PS4 being a timed exclusive, and it's Sony being a great company helping with game development. Microsoft does the same with Tomb Raider (paying development and publishing costs), people go crazy, and it's moneyhatting.

Every company is guilty of it. At least Tomb Raider will almost certainly find its way to the PS4 eventually, No Man's Sky will be a PS4 exclusive forever.

Some people just hate certain companies and all their brands, every company's got them and we got some people like this on here as well.

I completly agree with what u say but i still think Sony haters are more and can hate more! call me biased :)

Just wanted to point out that the bolded statement isn't true. There was a poll on this forum and we found out that the numebr of nintendo fans here far outnumber every other fansbase. They aren't just as vocal right now cause they don't have any ammunition to use, same goes for some xbox fans. But my point, and the point of this thread is that they still seem to go out of their way to find a way.

It's a tiny bonus ( and i dont know where you found this 10 20 %, never read that), especially since they dont lie and say it's only timed exclusive and will come on other consoles, anyway, this has nothing to do with a whole game.

You compare a new indie game to Tomb Raider known to be on PS since years? Really ? And again, they dont hide anything like MS and say honestly that the game could come on other consoles, they are indie, no big studios so it's more understandable that they focus on few platforms to begin, like Hellblade.

And again like i said, that doesnt prevent SOny to fund their own exclusives

 

 

Of course we doubt TR will come on PS4, still it's sad for X1 gamers, we wont have an other exclusive instead of TR, and sad all these lies about this timed exclusive from MS taking people for fools, like they did with many others " exclusives", an other legitimate reason for a bad buzz
