I've been on this site since 2002, and checked Gamespot and System Wars pretty regularly for the past 10 years, and here's what I have decided:

All gaming companies care about money mainly, but out of the big 3 (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) Nintendo is the only one that actually really cares about where gaming is heading and how to avoid another major game market crash, whereas Sony and Microsoft pump out multi-billion dollar game franchises with sequels every year and crappy DLC add-on packs that make you pay more money than you already have for more content that you don't need.

My Xbox 360 has turned into an advertisement hub where I can't escape a crappy trailer to some movie I really don't care about while I'm fumbling around trying to find the square that actually boots up the game disk I put into it.

My PS3 has turned into a perpetually updating piece of crap with a Cell processor that can't process Skyrim apparently, and has games that you pretty much beat one time and never have the desire to play it again, and crappy overhyped shooters with horrible controls. Killzone and Uncharted I'm looking right at you.

Console gaming, except for Nintendo systems, doesn't feel like console gaming anymore at all. It has turned into a crappy version of PC gaming, and I deal with MORE headaches with my PS3 and Xbox than I do with my PC. The fact I have to pay for a gold subscription to even watch Netflix on Xbox is straight up robbery. The operating systems are slow, ugly and terrible, and being forced to use a stupid keyboard add-on texter thing on my Xbox instead of a keyboard makes me want to kill things.

I seriously hate what console gaming has become, and if I was a paid reviewer on this site, I would probably quit my job if gaming continued on the path it's going right now.

DISSESHOWEDO

Feel free to leave !

Yeah, probably. Have fun with your crappy game systems!

Please don't kill anything. Plug any USB keyboard into the Xbox 360. It will work. I like to use a Wireless one by Logitech.

This message was brought to you by Logitech.

OH NOES TEH ADVERSTISEMENTS!!!!

I really need to go to bed, rambling like an old man about how terrible consoles are makes me feel better in between math problems

If my opinion offends you sorry :) had to get it out

Nah.

My opinion is better than all of yours.

Just accept it.

It doesn't matter how powerful it is, all that matters is what games will be on it. The Wii is a really good "supplementary" console, and WiiU will be the same. Trash the so-called specs all you want, but when HD Zelda and HD Metroid show up with high Metacritic scores and rave reviews, come on. You'll be appreciating the cheap price tag.

I don't think Atheism dominates the Internet since there is no proven statistic that says so. You're just assuming most people on here are Atheists. Ever hear of the vocal minority?

Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of Atheist elitists on these boards, and it makes me sad. Maybe if they sat down and read "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis or "The Reason For God" by Timothy Keller instead of spewing hatred towards God and Christianity they could learn a different point of view that would show them "hey guys! Life isn't completely pointless, and here's a valid, logical argument why God might actually exist". Not everyone that has strong faith is mentally slow, that's just plain bigotry and closemindedness at the highest level.

Just because certain groups or individuals have misrepresented God doesn't mean He doesn't exist, and no, there is no physical proof either for or against the existance of God. Really it's just "cool" to hate on God around here. I don't hate on Atheism, I have some very smart Atheist friends. We might not always see eye to eye but at least we can respect our beliefs and boundaries with each other, and though I would be ecstatic if he converted to my faith, I would hope it would be for the right reasons.

Honestly if you want people to really believe what you believe, you need to show that what you believe and practice makes you a truly happy, fulfilled person, not a hateful bigot. In order to love an idea or a way of life you need to see someone else love it passionately. I would argue that being a committed Christian is about 100 times better than any drug, alcohol, or sex driven adventure I've had in my past. Sometimes it's not about knowledge in a physical sense, but something much deeper.

I remember reading a study that showed on average atheists are more educated about religion than anyone else. Obviously a Christian is more likely to be more educated on Christianity, but there are much more religions than Christianity.

Being an atheist doesn't mean you think life is pointless, you say people should be more educated about religion yet you clearly don't understand much about any view point but your own.

I would like to read that study, sounds interesting.

And I know more about Atheism than you think, considering I was an Atheist and then converted, but what do I know?
