Forums - Gaming Discussion - What I hate about my favourite platform is...

Well, the problem is that I love everything about the DS. But if we are talking about home consoles, it pisses me off that the Wii has such an inferior storage capacity. After Wiiware came out, I've had to delete stuff, and whenever I get something new from now on, I'll have to delete some more. Biggest problem I have with the Wii.

I refer you to my OP. Love=lose. Hate=win. If you can't think of any reason to hate the DS (and I can think of many, but I don't own one anymore, and I certainly never loved it, so I'm not posting about it -- I'm abiding by my own rules), don't bring it up. The Wii comments, though: they're spot on.



PS3:

Installs, the MGS4 installs are annoying, and there is no excuse for that.

In-game XMB loading. It depends, sometimes it's lightning quick, sometimes slow and painful.

Trophy management: Whenever you unlock a trophy, you have to sync with the server to see it affect your score. It only takes about six seconds, but I check my profile a lot, so it seems longer.

LBP: the game's boot up times are horribly long.

Sony: Arrogance



My two platforms

Mac
I hate that Blizzard is the only game producer with the sense to ship the Mac version in the same box as the Windows

Wii
I hate that in some games, developers put waggle (motion sensitivity that adds nothing) in.

leo, I know you probably consider a ban a mark of honour, but you really need to stop trolling or I'm going to start reporting you for it

That's far too much love for this thread!

That aside, I also have to agree with DMeisterJ's comments about 18) the damned inconsistent XMB loading times -- sometimes it's fast and slick, sometimes it spins away for a few seconds seemingly doing nothing -- I hate it. Also, 19), I hate the delays you get when synching with the trophies: sure, it's only a few seconds (and I don't have that many trophies, I'm only level ... uhh, let's wait 10 secs to find out as I check ... maybe 20? ... Ah, here it is, level 4 with 96 trophies), but it's too many seconds as far as I'm concerned. Surely the it can be made to access faster?
