It's a losing convo for you ... I mean that with actual respect

I own both systems and have all games besides Horizon because I'm back logged

like other dude said, most playstation games can be played on PC and if you dont own a playstation... you are only missing games that have been done over and over
I play games :yeshrug: I wouldnt care if xbox had 40 exclusives and playstation had 6. I havent played a halo since like the 2nd one.... I wasnt in a rush to play god of war part 5 and I played uncharted for maybe an hour before I cut that shyt off forever. People were like 'start from the beginning' but its the same game with some bullshyt story.... its the same shyt thats been done. Assassins creed is the same way but for both systems... I jumped in on black flag... played every single one after and loved Unity. Everyone said "go back and play the original ones" nah I aint trying to do the same shyt for 5 more games and climb towers to unlock pieces of the city... I'm not dying to do that shyt just to see polygons act emotional with some bullshyt storyboard.

thats why I said playstation people seem autistic, alot of people who ride super hard only get into these weird linear story driven games and put backing into these fantasy characters. I'm just trying to play a good game, when I copped spiderman it was for the graphics and to swing around... I dont give a fukk about who peter parker is or what his made up enemies are. Thats the reason games like Battlefield, GTA, Warzone, Fortnite, Minecraft etc are the biggest games... people just wanna play some shyt that is fun in different ways. Alot of these games have extremely trash stories and no replay ability.... people shyt on death stranding but that game was amazing. I want to play the game not have the game play me.

You could basically tell me what happens at the end of Uncharted and it would just be me running through movie scenes until I reached that point. Nothing about that is mindblowing shyt... you could just tell me what happens in one sentence and save me 60 hours and 60$ ... The first thing I do when I buy a game is check to see how many actual gameplay hours are in it, and can I keep playing after I finish so I can enjoy my money.

Detroit Become Human was good but you could just spoil that shyt by saying "either you help the robo police and humans win, help the rogue robots and take over... or land somewhere in between and get robot rights"
all that development and thats all you leave the game with. I would rather play Fallout 76 when it was glitching than pay 60$ and be stuck trying to play all that over again just because it was an "exclusive"


sony pays for everything, its how they survive. They pay Linux for the operating system, pay companies for hardware, pay studios to create the games, the only thing they bring to the table is putting all of that together and relying on fans to keep them afloat, which works so good that they fell the fukk off since the 90s... they used to be one of the top tech companies with the best quality shyt... now they make parts for vizio and have playstation thats it. Microsoft has been meeting them halfway for over a year, trying to crossplay... offered them help with the cloud shyt... showing their console all the way broken down so they could match it, etc. Sony just doesnt want to meet halfway. If you look at this all unbiased, its clear that Microsoft is here for healthy competition and wants to stay in their lane. Sony is directly not developing the infrastructure to harness their own company and save a billion dollars by not outsourcing shyt. But they are paying everyone else to do all the work for them and just hoping fans stay loyal, which they will. Without Sony buying exclusives they would probably honeslty fold up... they need to buy studio rights and keep shyt going for them. It's not hate, I've always owned playstation since day 1 but they NEED to really develop for themselves and stop paying other people to borrow software and build their systems. Even beyond "console wars" or whatever weirdos do on here... Microsoft just basically makes a dumbed down PC with windows 10 on it and sells it as an accessory... they are literally in the game for fun still selling dumbed down PCs ... its nothing for them to throw out a half a computer for people to buy with the software and emulation already developed and tested for windows 10. At this point they could just say "if you buy xbox live gold ... you get free windows 10 for a year" They will never not make money because the win is built in to what they already do. They dont outsource product because they are the product. Convo could actually get wild ugly if you break it down... Sony doesnt even own what they are doing... 75% of that shyt is leased and on contract. They need to directly be responsible for the lack of engineering they've put themselves through, hence the delays with development. Both systems will be enjoyable so that proves my point... it doesnt actually matter as long as you have fun with whatever you like.

A new generation but the same ol wait till.....

First it was wait till May, which turned out to be rubbish.Now it’s wait till July. And after the July event disappoints like it will, there will be a new event in the future that will blow everyone’s socks off which they will hype, then that’ll also disappoint and the cycle will continue to another generation.

Looks like our wait till picture will need to be updated for a new generation...:mjlol:

Microsoft just needs to keep developing those cloud services and infrastructure. They are making a good sum of money from that, turn around and sell to don't and Nintendo to beef up their offerings.

Stop holding on to jet set radio future Microsoft, at least remaster or reissue as a classic

playstation fans are mostly autistic
its been that way for a few years

down to clowning the perfect xbox design

only to redesign the controller after xbox
and then come out with some oblong trash, super huge tower

and play it off like none of that happened
with underpowered 3rd party operating system and hardware that drops underdeveloped at least 7 months late
then we have to hear about unreal engine 5 like it was some playstation developed exclusive :russ: these nikkas been retarded and annoying as fukk for over a decade


the rebuttles in this thread already show that, how you gonna clown forza ... then drop gran turismo and get hype off ratchet and clank? like none of these games have been made for 10+ years
some of the dumbest moments ive experienced on this website

if you want another eurka moment, dude said "microsoft has been making games technically longer" then you would have to include PC games into the mix and then acknowledge that Steam will be on Xbox now for crossplay
All this babble just literally making up shyt left and right. Dude doesn't even understand the entire point of why people are saying MSFT is mostly a trio of Gears, Halo, Forza but in his mind he thinks people are clowning Forza and get hype off of GT? Um, the whole point is Gran Turismo is NOT the SOLE big AAA title for Sony almost ever year. Last GT game was GT Sport in 2017, THREE years ago meanwhile GT 7 may not even come out this year. Forza? There's one this year, last year, the year before that, year before that etc. There's nothing else. This year alone you'd have to be completely freaking stupid to say Sony didn't feed the streets.

I feel sorry like I have to dumb my posts down to even explain shyt to some of y'all shyt is sad.

We not in high school anymore. i have enough money to get both consoles if i feel like it.

If Xbox has the games i will buy it. PS5 already has sequels that i'm looking forward to so they already earned my money.

If Xbox does the same i'm getting both. I also bought a gaming PC a while back in case neither one works out.

:mjlol:The fukk you mean 20 years? The 360 was better than the PS3, Microsoft won the console war in that era.

Who lied to you. PS3 outsold the 360. :skip:

They've yet to beat Playstation. :yeshrug:. 360 was their best chance but they blew it when the games dried up.

Na.... the game was over by then:russ:


Niccas was moving forward with the PS4 and Xbox One:mjlol:

But goalposts moving? :skip:
nikkaz started with a spark and shyt themselves the back half.

Games have and always will win out. That's why Playstation will always be fine. And their track record has proven this for over 25 years even with blunders.

This has to be the stupidest post I've read in the Arcadium in quite some time. Like seriously. A bunch of randomly strung together sentences, completely pointless talking points (You could tell me what happened in Uncharted and save me money!), a bunch of nonsensical statements(Pay studios to create games). Just a whole bunch of conjecture.

Like... This nikka says people(Sony stans)are into "weird, linear fantasy story games" and compares them to big MP games, some of which are free to play.
The Final Fantasy video game series has been both critically and commercially successful, selling more than 154.5 million software units worldwide, making it one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time.
UC series-44 million
Ratchet and Clank is at 26 million for the series, along with Gears at 26 million. But I didn't say that shhhh. Hint:They're big too.



Like, this nikka said Sony pays studios to create games I thought Sony just picked up cacs from the street and let em come on site free of charge!


Like.... Just... wow. :mindblown: How stupid can one be? I'm guessing Nintendo and MSFT don't pay their first party studios huh? I guess the publisher has NOTHING to do with the dev studio, Bungie just started from the bottom now we here
9X6DXMM.png
?



Then he says most Playstation games can be played on PC and then quickly says they're the same games done over and over. Then he says he don't give a fukk about Halo, ass creed is boring same shyt, Detroit is no better than Fallout 76 :mindblown: Why are you even playing games? You sound like you don't know what the fukk you're even talking about, just rambling on some bullshyt about how games are wack and ain't doing nothing for you. You don't even play most of the games you claiming is weird. You have literally no Uncharted trophies in your PSN profile linked to your account. Zachroc huh? :mjpls:

No The Last of Us Trophies, No God of War trohpies(only 4 for the last one). No PS3 games at all. Did you literally not play anything on PS3 and yet are talking about exclusives? Unless you used a completely different account for PS3 but still! No PS4 exclusives really.

You are literally a rabid Xbot foaming at the mouth.:mjlol:

Look at this indescribably stupid statement:
I've always owned playstation since day 1 but they NEED to really develop for themselves and stop paying other people to borrow software and build their systems.
...

So their 13 or so 1st party studios don't count? Their systems weren't built by them? Companies pay others for shyt all the time. This is like someone shytting on MSFT for using AMD parts on some "Smh MSFT don't build their own shyt, they NEED to build their own hardware!"

One sentence:
They pay companies for hardware, pay studios to create the games
then

Without Sony buying exclusives they would probably honeslty fold up... they need to buy studio rights and keep shyt going for them

Oh but he just said Sony just pays studios and now says they need to buy studio rights....
They literally own 13 studios worldwide...


Another beautiful hot take:
sony pays for everything, its how they survive. They pay Linux for the operating system, pay companies for hardware, pay studios to create the games, the only thing they bring to the table is putting all of that together and relying on fans to keep them afloat, which works so good that they fell the fukk off since the 90s... they used to be one of the top tech companies with the best quality shyt... now they make parts for vizio and have playstation thats it.
Microsoft pays for everything, its how they survive. They pay Dolby for using their products, pay companies(AMD) for hardware, pay studios to create the games(I could've SWORN they acquired companies recently, must have been with monolopy money), the only thing they bring to the table is putting all of that together and relying on fans(like you) to keep them afloat, which works so good that they fell the fukk off since(their 2nd console)... They used to be one of the top tech companies with the best quality shyt...now they dropping games on Nintendo Switch(Cuphead) and Playstation(Minecraft).



This post reads like MSFT cock sucking with the "shyt can get ugly if we want to" lmao oh puhleeze! You try to start off with the typical "I have all Playstations but..." spiel and veer off into 16 year old fanboy babble about how Sony is this and that(all bad things ironically). It's almost as if MSFT is the one that sold 110 million Xbox One consoles and not Sony PS4. :mjlol: A whole post saying NOTHING but pure stupidity. This is what happens when crackheads get a hold of a keyboard :mjlol: I say this jokingly but with 10% of seriousness.


Omg this post is making me feel dumber just reading it :dead:
