Xboxers Bashing PS4 For Reliability Issues Is Comically Ironic

It appears that a great many Xbox followers are getting a big kick out of the issues facing the PlayStation 4. All those followers must have amnesia.

Red Red of Death you have to say to an Xbox fanboy and they'll HOPEFULLY shut up.

Selective memory much.

aceitman3813d ago

well the article is right , for them to do that and there system isn't even out yet , well we will see how ms x1 will hold out, and truly see if it was rushed out like the 360.

allformats3813d ago

The xbox fanboys can only gripe when the PS4 has over a 30% failure rate.

JokesOnYou3813d ago

Uhm yeah because a few idiots are laughing it's all "Xboxers"? No, and I read the rest with him pulling numbers out of is a**. Still expecting that there won't be a segment of xbox fan boys "laughing" at the hardware failure situation for sony whether it's a small % or a huge issue is unrealistic given all the back and forth nonsense.

shoddy3813d ago

If 0.5% failure rate is bad the how can a system survive a 33% rate

Tito083812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

@JokesOnYou- You're such an example of a XBoxer, let's not get this out of the way, what the guy said it's entirely true, and that was a very known issue for a very long time, and MS knew the issue and released the console at the cost of the consumer. Why did you think it had a 3 year warranty? it wasn't because MS is "awesome", it's because they knew the problem existed and was very noticing, also, those disc ring scratches, noticeably unheard of. So please, don't be such a hypocrite, it's not of your convenience.

Every game console has it's share of issues, but both Sony and Nintendo have a track record of good reliable products, so I take these PS4 hardware issues with a grain of salt until they become more noticeable. It's very evident the media and fanboys like you wants to make it seem like that's Sony's version of the RROD when you dumbheads earned that reputation MS already earned a reputation of faulty products and say "Sony did this too as well" just to justify MS`s actions, I remember well y'all made a big deal out of the PS3`s yellow light when it reality it was about the normal rate of console failures. XBox One isn't out yet, but it has to deal with a reputation issued all thanks to their second game console. So, if I point an example of someone pointing information out of his ass, that's you.

They are just desprate for anything even though they know it is not as widespread as they claim.

If it was anything like RROD it will be all over the news.

JokesOnYou3813d ago (Edited 3813d ago )

Damm meant to reply above, anyway nobody is desperate, the reality is that there are just morons on both sides. Also console failures on Microsofts part don't justify a higher failure rate than normal on sonys part *IF that turns out to be the case.

Derekvinyard133813d ago

But didn't Microsoft eventually start fixing xbox for free cause it was a huge problem? I never had an xbox

Hicken3813d ago

After about a year and a half, yes. Though you were still outta luck if your system died before then.

edgeofsins3812d ago

Because it was court-ordered otherwise they would have to recall all XBox 360's and take it off the market. They aren't a good company for consumers.

JasonKCK3812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

No Hicken MS starting fixing 360's just a few months after release when the problem came to light for free, not a "year and a half" you're reaching.

You see that is what makes you part of the problem, and you're just as guilty as they are.

Jdoki3812d ago

@JasonKCK

That was not my experience or recollection of the situation at all.

It took an extremely long time for MS to react and acknowledge the RRoD problem.

The 360 launched in Nov 2005. The extended warranty kicked in around July / Aug 2007.

That meant a lot of people whose consoles failed between Nov 2006 and the start of the extended warranty (nearly 8 months) got boned as MS was still denying the extent of the problem.

That was the situation I had. A RRoD failure after warranty ended, and MS refused to repair it for free, or reimburse me after the extended warranty went live.

MasterCornholio3812d ago

And I remember somewhere where they said that the failures were due to a design fault by Microsoft. Dang its been so long since the RROD issue.

As is mocking the Xbox One for its size.

sobotz3813d ago

and a Power Brick.. oooh such irony

MasterCornholio3812d ago

The Xbox 360 wasn't mocked for its size but it had a huge powerbrick and it still suffered problems from overheating.

extra batteries anyone?

Revolt133813d ago

I don't recall ever bashing a Sony fan because of this...
nor have I ever had RRoD

awesomeisjayell3813d ago

I dare any PS4 owner to download warframe and surf the UI @ the same time lmao and see what happens lol.

PersonaCat3813d ago

I did that day one and my ps4 didn't crash or freeze. Did yours?

Majin-vegeta3813d ago

I did the first day.What's your point?

SpinalRemains1383813d ago

A million have done that. A million.

Record setting, 1080p playing, ass kicking, game playing beast!

jjb19813813d ago

I have a ps4 and will be getting xbox on day one. Anyone remember RRoD? Yeah, I hope we get all these platform problems fixed. Xbox one will have its share also.

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows902h ago(Edited 2h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot36m ago(Edited 34m ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis00728m ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel198911m ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot8m ago(Edited 7m ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw2h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno1h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
