You know what's funny? The fact that some cows used to bash Bungie but when Destiny was announced for the PS4, their views on the company have changed, I thought Bungie was overrated cows?

Destiny's gameplay is very similar to Halo, so how does it feel that the game you are hyping up and enjoying actually looks and feels like Halo? The very game you cows were and still are bashing?

I guess Bungie was only overrated because their games were not on your console of choice.

Google "Choice-Supportive Bias" and you'll understand the psychology behind fanboyism.

Wikipedia definition:

In cognitive science, choice-supportive bias is the tendency to retroactively ascribe positive attributes to an option one has selected. It is a cognitive bias. For example, if a person buys a computer from Apple instead of a computer (PC) running Windows, he is likely to ignore or downplay the faults of Apple computers while amplifying those of Windows computers. Conversely, he is also likely to notice and amplify advantages of Apple computers and not notice or de-emphasize those of Windows computers.

Lifehacker also has an excellent article on this matter titled: The Psychology of a Fanboy: Why You Keep Buying the Same Stuff - The author brings up the theory of choice-supportive bias and makes an excellent point.

Using pictures of a game that is still in development and then comparing it to a game that has been fully developed is moronic.

I concur that the PS4 is more powerful than the Xbox One, but it is foolish to judge Quantum Break this early.

Quantum Break could still be in early-mid development seeing that the game will be released in 2015.

Logic always escapes fanboys.

Saw the gameplay and I could really care less about it. It looks like a crappy gears clone with a crappy cover mechanic and crappy shooting. The aiming looks terrible and the game looks really bland/boring.

Don't believe me? Watch this. No wonder they delayed it to February next year.

Hate that phrase.....wakey wakey time, it's usually americans that get it wrong

"could care less" - means you care about it. if you are trying to express disinterest in something, saying " I could care less" means that you must care about it (even just a bit).

the correct phrase to use is "I Couldn't care less" - which means what is says, you dont care at all and therefore, you couldn't care any less, even if you tried.

Wakey Wakey time for you then, I'm not American, also English isn't my main language, in fact I live in Asia. And besides that, you are going way off topic there grammar Nazi.

If you want to criticize my misuse of the phrase, then I should criticize your punctuation, capitalization, and grammar, which of course is terrible, as evidenced by what you just wrote.

well it's not wakey wakey time for me, i didn't accuse you of being american, i simply said "it's usually americans that get it wrong"

I am not a spelling or grammar nazi, this is the internet FFS.

you used the phrase incorrectly, i showed you why....simples

I made a post using this phrase before, regarding RE7 possibly being an X1 exclusive 2 months ago. In my haste of typing my post in this thread I made a mistake. I used the phrase correctly before. If you want to validate whether I used the phrase correctly before, you can check here if you want.

"Couldn't really care less either way, RE has gone downhill ever since RE5."

Also, just because this is the internet does not mean that proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization are not appreciated.

Getting a PS4 this September, but judging from the games on the list, there are no worthy games to me that will justify purchasing either console at this time.

The PS4 games that have been listed are mostly available on last generation consoles/ PC and are mostly indie/arcade games that I wouldn't really give a damn about.

It's really funny how fanboys try to find something to brag about when there really isn't that much to brag about.

GTA V is really great.

GTA IV on the other hand is overrated.

Old thread.

The Elder Scrolls.

Too few quests for Fallout, I was underwhelmed actually by the lack of quests in Fallout, but this also applied to Skyrim(lack of content in quests) which is sad.

PS4.

Why?

Territory release

The PS4 has been released in 48 countries, while the Xbox One has only been released in 13 countries, which obviously means there will be a huge sales disparity and sales disadvantage for the Xbox One. The Xbox One will release to an additional 26 new markets this September.

Price

The PS4 is $400 while the Xbox One is $500 for less power, and wanting the Kinect is arguable.

MS Hate

The Xbox One Launch Fiasco has made a lot of people turned off by the Xbox One, if you were already a Sony fanboy before the Xbox One launch fiasco, then this does not apply to you. You've already hated MS even before the launch fiasco.
