Forums - Gaming - Problems with Sony and Microsoft?

Sony: followed MS paid online subscription, also have a ton of exclusive games to varying degrees without solid release dates (Rime, WiLD, Tomorrow Children), raising prices for games/ accessories/ subscriptions.

MS: nothing in their first party arsenal interests me, rehash of Gears/ Forza/ Halo, most of their new IP's are from third parties again (Sea of Thieves, Project Spark are the only exceptions that come to mind), tried to push Kinect as a main feature of the system.



Around the Network

Microsoft got it right when they introduced xbox live. The best thing they've ever done. It changed how games are played. However everything else was a disaster (RRoD,disc drives that scratched the game, poor first party games, kinect, always online and mandatory kinect before the 180, Rare's kinect games, plus have I said kinect?).



What a ridiculously unnecessary thread

I love how people use this thread as an excuse to shit some more on Nintendo, lol.

Sony: they make you pay for online that gets ddosed every now and then, didn't support the Vita after the first year.
MS: same.


I don't think MS is in fault for not supporting the Vita after the first year.
But that might be just me.


I agree. Minecraft is still there after all

Even though Sony made the deal with Mojang before MS bought it, yeah.


Lol I'm just messing around



Around the Network

This is essentially a big game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. I've been Nintendo, MS and Sony at various times. I am pro Sony at the moment and strongly so cause of the last few years. I'd like to say that I respect all of your tastes and choices and am really excited about the games coming in the next year or two.

I think we squander our time fighting each other when so many have written off console gaming, yet here it is bigger and better than ever.

Hope that NX does well when it releases and that we can shut these tech writers up for good... they will be there with their Apple TV's and iphone the size of a small table.

Their networks going down too often and yet we pay for access to online multiplayer gaming. /thread

LOL!

If you're not willing to explain your posts/thoughts, don't bother posting.



Sony: the games they make don't really appeal, though much of this is preference rather than critcism. I will say that I dislike their controllers, and their lack of giving other options makes from the brand entirely. Paid online as well

MS:Paid online. Other things can't think of them though

 

Overall criticisms I'm seeing are really just preference

I edited the Vita part in later.
