Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Being who you are, I would ask you the same question.

And it’s not so much that the criticism is valid or not, rather than his comments always focusing on what could be negative, and never about anything positive.

Can't back up your saves via USB on PS5. Giant Bomb UI walkthrough shows it's missing a lot of basic features PS4 has. BC is confusing. The system can't even lay on its side without attachments and a screw that everyone will lose. PS5 seems rushed esp in UI.

May I ask what it is that Sony would have to do for you to ever comment positively about PlayStation?

Some people just like to be hipsters, I guess. "I hate the popular thing" is an identity to some folks. 

I’ll give you an objective answer: Make more genres/play styles then “third person story driven single player action adventure”. More games with a multiplayer component wouldn’t hurt either. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

You should take a closer look at their games catalog. But I understand it is easier and more convenient for you to cling to these pre-conceptions.

So I think the consensus here is that the hardware and software (not games) is starting to show a sizeable gap when you add up all the little things. Some aren’t on the same page as to how many little things there are. But a valid counter argument can be said that day 1 console exclusives and a new controller are more important as that’s what the end user ultimately experiences.

You realize his response is targeted to the OP's ridiculous claim right? It has nothing to do with hating Sony. You feel like this is an attack on Sony, yet you're totally cool with what the threads about. A little hypocritically don't you think?

The poll question is silly.

That being said, Digital Foundry gives proper insight:

Yeah... No.

Foot in mouth and all that.

LOU2, which had its MP delayed and the gaming community let out a singular “meh” in response. Doesn’t show me you guys put importance on MP. 

You’d think I’m just being a fan, yet my description fits. I personally like different genres and multiplayer and you can’t tell me these games fit that requirement.

you misunderstand Hynad, attacking on the person is where he trives and what he enjoys doing whether its logical or not
