but when i said all these reviews are staged set-ups, i was told "b-b-b-b-but nobody does that anymore"


you can read any review out....

"game company A has told us in later levels you can........."

"game company B hands me the controller on mission 10"




mags and articles need to be written, edited and rewritten months in advance... along with screenshots, detailed info, and other game modes needing to be explained

ain't no way in hell, the makers of saaaaaaaaaaay.... gta 5... was giving out free, FULL copies, to 5-6-7-----10 different companies and letting them run wild for a week or two on it.

and if that never happens, then how can you say you properly or fully reviewed something

PS4, AC4 review coming from Polygon this week. I think today, actually.



It's wrong, well at least the COD 720p on PS4 is wrong. Yoshida called the video stupid, so meh.

From what I hear both OSes aren't ready, which is expected. Who thought both would be ready to go out the box? Even smartphones need updates.
They can review on a loaner dev kits but not on retail PS4's that the issue.

Anybody thinking Sony was not trying to the exact same thing as MS was trying to with DRM are kidding themselves. As I said Sony filed for a patent on the technology for it in 2012. And only back off when MS shyt storm hit about drm. Than they tried to act like they are for the gamers :laff:

sure they did. he says he played the game for 60+ hours before making this review (a review released one day before the game)

@Rekkapryde please watch this vid. I told you. :usure:

So the Xbox 1 OS system shyt really is fukked up? :wow:

The Trade up program for the PS4 versions of games was already stated and known. As a matter of fact, I'm going digi now (Cancelled my ps3 disc version). This vid actually reminded me of that shyt that you needed the disc in the ps4 drive. Good lookin out.

Ghosts being 720p on both is already confirmed as :duck:

Ghosts 1080p native on the Wii U isn't that surprising. The graphics aren't as stellar as it is on that shyt.

The decision of removing DRM on the PS4 is :duck: too. Sony has stated countless times since BEFORE the Xbox One reveal that they weren't gonna implement online DRM on their system. I'm not buying that one. Sorry. You have to remember that Sony sells millions of consoles worldwide, esp in places where the online infrastructure isn't good or available. Those are lost sales. They'd rather sell the system and games than not at all to those customers.


This dude ( IMO ) sounds like a bitter Xbox fan.

If multiplayer is up and running just fine on the PS4 day 1, then it just confirms the :duck: he was allegedly told on that.

one day before the game????

nikka on THIS BOARD was playing the friday before it dropped... that's telling me nothing

but the guy who did wait.... more power to him.. for real

cause the other 99% of the industry already had 3-4 reviews out and magazine on the shelf a month in advance... not picking on this game.. they do it for all games.. that's why you never hear about a glitch.. about a certain thing getting boring, about it not having certain things that the company told them before... it's hard to find a truly "full game" review anymore

I forget where the post is (it can be somewhere on Union or N4G or somewhere), where a guy makes a great point and that PS4s aren't ready. So Sony is trying to force all the media sites to do their Review Event. Sony is purposely not giving sites systems and games weeks beforehand (like how just about every company does) so a review can be ready to post on day one. Just about everyone so far has limited exposure ot PS4 and have still been using old dev kits while retail quality X1's have been around for a bit and even on those pick up truck tours..

Instead, they are trying to force the media to come to the event and test games and do their reviews based on their system hook ups and games on their gear. And then go home, write and article and post it based on that.

one day before launch, and prior to that he put in 60+ hours. he obviously had the game way before it 'leaked'

printed magazines are left in the dust by digital media anyway

Again, online DRM was never considered by Sony at the system level. It was gonna be left up to the publisher/dev as its always been on playstation consoles.

Don't take your anger out on me. :whoa:

As you can read those are multiple people with the same message. A message that is COMMON SENSE.

But I'm not furious. I'm good.

How? Because Sony has more indies? MS is not for the gamers but got a better launch line up? Yeah right

launch lineup is a matter of perspective for the individual.

I didn't lose out on any of the games I was buying at launch and the multiplats I'm purchasing (2k14, BF4) are both better than the competition's version with the system 100 bucks cheaper.

That's all. :yeshrug:

I'm just excited for my PS4 and I'm chilling on my stantrolling. There's nothing else to be said at this point IMO. If you like the XB1 entertainment shyt and exclusives, cop that. I'm coppin the PS4 because 1) Sony always delivers on exclusives every gen with new good IPS 2) hardware superiority 3) PS Plus good to a nikka 4) Sony wasn't trying to fukk nikkaz over like the competition was
You can disagree and make assumptions on point 4, but the fact was that MS was gonna implement online DRM. Sony wasn't. You can say that Sony woulda/shoulda/coulda but the fact remains they say they weren't gonna do it and they didn't and this was again before the Xbox One reveal.

Just cop that 4 and join the Coli 4 brehs fam. you still my GSDG bro. :hug:

We gonna be gooning hard, I trust you'll make the obvious decision if y ou already haven't.

See you on the 15th... :salute:
