Showing posts with the label consoles

This is a surprise

My brother sent me this link this morning concerning Sony and the PS4. I don't really know what to think of it. Apparently Sony has said that customers will still be able to resell games as originally intended. As IGN reported. Which you can read here. What do you think? Let me know!

I almost forgot to mention

The cursed game that got me kicked out.  I wrote a blog post about my 1st impressions of the Xbox One and my experience, which you can read here. But I didn't give you the full story. I wasn't sure if I should have mentioned it in that post, so I left it out. But I think it's time I told you what happened. In a nutshell, I got kicked out of the event. Now, this wasn't because I began complaining about the games or started fighting anybody. It was actually the console itself that got me kicked out. So, I was playing Forza. Whilst it was loading, I looked down at the controller and I was thinking of taking a picture of it. But as I looked up, the screen was black, the Xbox One was off. I started panicking, I was wondering if it was something I pressed. But I know that I didn't press anything, I was looking at the controller! As the panic continued to settle in, a Microsoft representative rushed over to me looking very angry and surprised. I proclaimed my i...

Nintendo 2DS. Seriously Nintendo.....Groan.

Yet another nonsensical Nintendo move. This time it's a console that nobody needs or actually wants. A 3DS THAT CAN'T FOLD OR PLAY GAMES IN 3D? No. Nintendo. Stop doing these silly things. Nobody has demanded this. The 3D slider on the 3DS is already the answer. Most people don't play with 3D all the way on or don't play with it at all. Making a console without it is just a waste of time and resources. I think Nintendo should be putting those resources into future console development. This console just going to be ignored. The only word I could think of when I found out. What do you think of the announcement of the 2DS? Will you be buying one?

Nonsensical Nintendo

Oh Nintendo how I love thee, but thou annoys me! I have grown up loving Nintendo. I always will love them and the great games that they create. But, there are some things about them they I hate. I'll be using my favorite technique...LISTS!! The constant need to be behind technologically - I don't care what anyone says, Nintendo ain't poor. So that means that they can afford to use the best technology available to them. So why they constantly insist on having hardware that is weak and out of date the day it comes out is beyond me. Gamecube wasn't in this category because although it wasn't well known, the Gamecube was as powerful as its counterparts. So it makes the fact that Wii and Wii U  are weaker than their counterparts all the more painful for me. I just think Nintendo should have kept making their consoles as powerful as they could and maybe that would have meant selling them at a loss, but the great games and innovation only Nintendo can prov...

Gaming Industry.... Groan, again.

More gaming groan. It just never ends. Square Enix making  too many Final Fantasy games. I mean this is getting ridiculous. They are making so many, I keep losing count of what number they are on ( I think it's Final Fantasy 100 or should that be Final Fantasy C ?). They seem to forget that they own other companies with some great IP's (Tomb Raider and Hitman are prime examples) STOP MAKING FINAL FANTASY!!! IT'S BORING!!! Microsoft is making Kinect mandatory on Xbox One. I think this sucks. I don't see why I should be forced to buy something I am probably never going to use for gaming or to control my TV. Not cool Microsoft. Not Cool. People comparing mobile gaming success with console gaming success. This is just stupid. They are completely different. It's like comparing Indie cinema with mainstream cinema. Developers talking about how powerful system is, instead of making games. Just shut up and make a game worth playing. 'Gamers' getting exc...
