Forums - Gaming - Why is Microsoft such a hated company around here?

i know it seems that way disolitude but there is plenty of XBox people on all the forums. the thing is i think 360 players are busy enjoying the huge lineup of games and are playing and just don't have the time anymore for the foolish excesses and tolling as they did before.



Yep, i'm a girl

The OP should look at other forums, news sites, and even STORE sites. Xbots (largely most of then americans of course) PLAGUE the internet with Sony/PS3 hate. Look at all those embarrassaments who call themselves "people" on the PS3 SLIM comments section on AMAZON. Xbots all around talking shit everywhere, I don't see that kind of behaviour at the bottom of EVERY game-related site/news coming from PS3-pro fans bashing the 360. Not nearly half as much anyway, and most of the time some PS3 fans do it in retaliation to xbots spreading their shit.

That's even more one-sided than what the OP was saying.



  

I should take a screenshot of the main page at night US time, when Squilliam and formerly starcraft are active (Aussie and NZ morning, I guess).  Why does VGChartz hate teh Sony?

What with Windows issues that everyone has, RRoD, etc, I can see why people bag on MS.  As for Sony, we all say that they kind of fucked up with the PS3 price, but it's still a good machine for those who have bought it.
Btw, the new Sony Readers (digital book readers) are badass!  Way better hardware than the Kindle, open ePub format, quick access to all the Google project books, and free 21-day ebook checkouts from libraries!

I have 4 ipods(3 are not workig anymore) and have 2 zunes right now. Ipod is inferior to zune in every way but "cool factor".

Zune software also rapes Itunes on a PC atleast when it comes to ease of use, exporting songs, syncing... whats tehre to hate about MS software?

windows is not second rate os.

name me any other os that is capable of using 99.9% of all hardware and software on the market, with as few glitches, as much ease of use, and as mucha ccessibility.

Yes I will make this thread a windows VS thread, because nothing compares.

Just because it can use 99.9% of software doesn't mean it is NOT second rate, it's like saying a Hummer is fuel efficient because it has all the gadgets a vehicle can have. Do not get me wrong, Windows has its uses, and I am not a Mac fanboy, I have my bone to pick with Apple aswell.. But in terms of software architecture, Mac OSX is far superior than Windows. Windows is still DLL and Registry hell. That is a horrible build, that is why it has so many glitches and exploits and Viruses are so easy to make for it. Few glitches? Where have you been the past 3 years since Vista Launched? Why do you think they are making Windows 7? Vista was universally hated because it had so many glitches and was incompatible with so much software it was ridiculous. Never before has Microsoft released a new OS so fast after just releasing one (namely Windows Vista) save maybe.. Windows ME to Windows XP, I think the time-span between those two was just as short if not a bit shorter.



i dunno, kotaku is pretty pro-360 and anti ps3, at least last time I was on it before I got permabanned for criticizing the site



I don't hate Microsoft, or their console. Hatting a machine is the most stupid thing ever. It's a machine.

What I do hate is some of the dumbass half brained people that work there and talk s*** about other companies.
That's what I can't stand for. Stupid people talking.



Personally, i don't Hate microsoft, i like using windows, and some of their products, The only thing i hate about Microsoft is how they are so arrogant when it comes to X-box and their followers, Xbot fanboys, Because they think they are the shit, and they think they are the best sometimes putting Nintendo and Sony down, Like they where in the Gaming industry longer than the other 2 giant's (Nintendo and Sony).

Your joking right?

I see looks of good things about the 360 all the time, its just not today...


Im not joking and its not jsut today. Think about it...anything microsoft does well and is sucessful is hated and everything they don't do well is...well also hated.

Windows? Universally hated...

You got a point there... nothing really much to say bout' this one...

Halo? Hated...

Halo is Hated like MANY overrated games, like GTAIV and CoD4.

Zune? Not popular enough for people to care, but if it gets popular, it will be hated.

No Comment...

Topics around here all center around Windows and IE losing market share, google kicking ms in search, 360 failure rate, MS keeping the small developer down.

Yes there are SOME but not much VS 2008's topics, Squil, Seece and Selnor keep good 360 news alive...

For first part of 2009 it was "MS doesn't have software PS3 does"...no one was talking about price. Now that MS has software coming out in late 2009 and 2010, its all about price and PS3 slim.

Dunno what your talking about here but a PS3 slim is truly epic news, more new games for 360 is good news that are exclusive but VS a PS3 price cut that was long over due is something that is hard to rise against.

Im just saying, I am rarely acive in wii forums and PS3 ones I visit for multiplats. On Ms forums this site is beyond biased...

I know what you mean, when i first joined the nintendo fanboys were very mean to me and the PS3 at the time, till 360 fans flamed me til i finally jumped in anyway... so i know what ya mean here... but in the end... ask yourself... is it really worth it?

Don't get me wrong, I still love my VGchartz but its getting to a point where I feel I have to defend 360 with every post. Tehre is always something negative about it and most of it is untrue...

The 360 needs no defending, i may not like most of the exclusive line-up my self, but its one that not even PS3 fanboys can deny, the real issue is PC fanboys bragging they'll have the better version tbh.

Well i see where your getting at here...so...
