We already have Xbox and Playstation fanboy wars... And now this?

DxTrixterz3442d ago

This has been fanboy war since like BFBC2 vs COD MW2.

Naga3442d ago (Edited 3442d ago )

True facts.

Though, I have to say that this is still one of the most poorly written articles I have come across on N4G in a long time (which is saying a lot, I know). It's just embarrassing. Honestly, it reads like a middle school homework assignment.

SpaceFox3442d ago

Oh yeah. I was a huge member of the BC2 community and those guys were all extremely anti-COD. It's been a thing for a while. IMO the games are hard to compare directly, at the end of the day it's all about what type of game you prefer to play. Arguing over what's "better" is pointless.

thorstein3442d ago

I can play both. And so can the rest of us. I tried it out. I was able to play COD on the exact same day I played a BF game!

Nothing happened. No gamebreaking glitches, no lightning bolts out of the sky. Nothing.

Guess stupid commentary about video games and which are "better than others" actually have no purpose.

Eck03442d ago

this article can be used vice versa why call of duty people like it better than BF .. it all depends on preference .. one is more realistic but some people dont like that.. boohoo .. some like small maps.. and quick battles.. some like huge maps... its all opinion .. i can play both. im alright with both.. BF to me runs stiff and alittle more boring if im looking more of a arcade style quick game.. and if i want to get all strategic then ill play BF

In all honesty, Battlefield is 100 times better than CoD, but i still feel dumber having read this article.

Utalkin2me3442d ago

You meant BF is 100 times better "IMO" then CoD. Totally 2 different games to even make that statement.

CorndogBurglar3442d ago

@ Utalkin2me

No. I meant exactly what i said. They teach people the difference between facts and opinion at a very young age. Stating an opinion doesn't require someone to say "in my opinion" in the sentence.

Most people know how to tell the difference without that. I dont know what to tell someone that can't tell that difference. Its on them. Not me.

Kidmyst3442d ago

Difference for me with battlefield and COD games; on PC the COD games install and run right out of the box no issues, where Battlefield are buggy and need patches.
Gameplay Battlefield is big open fun to play how you want but sometimes need to go find the action COD is tighter and in your face action quickly after spawning. Both are fun and I enjoy both but skipped battlefield 4 on Pc because of issues I had with 3. May try the next release on Console if it runs better there.

ncc-0173442d ago

I used to play COD MW2 then I tried BFBC2, I never went back to COD. It's been all Battlefield for me ever since.

cell9893442d ago

The exact same thing happened to me. My love for vehicle warfare and destruction opened my eyes, black ops 1 was the last COD I played online

ZombieKiller3442d ago

But but MY GAME IS BETTER THAN YOURS! ....Right, just like your system.

How does this guy know I game like he does in the first place?

You can easily spawn camp in BF

HammadTheBeast3442d ago

It's equally bad, especially when enemy airpower just destroys any of your vehicle spawns, or manages to steal you heli's and jets.

nowitzki20043442d ago

You cant even get to the opponents spawn base.

Try playing it its a ton better war game than COD.

SolidStoner3442d ago

You have to spend some time in battlefield to understand it.. its about those tiny details and epic battlefield moments you can create there.. now on PS4 after all the updates it works well.

viccrack3442d ago

both franchises are worst ever, Medal of Honor rules. LOL :D

getrektedmate3442d ago

Hmmm I wonder if there making a sequel to warfighter...

born283442d ago

EA should Just hand the Series back over to Respawn ENT. the Guys who originally put MOH on the map I want this before they start on another titanfall.

annoyedgamer3442d ago

The studio was shut down by EA after the last game, not surprisingly.

Perjoss3442d ago

MoH Allied Assault will always have a special place in my gaming heart, bit of a masterpiece when it first came out. I do wish the newer MoH titles didn't suck so bad.

trywizardo3442d ago

it is , in terms of graphics and gameplay and map scale and muliplayer in general . the only thing COD does better is the campaign , i think only bad company 1 and 2 was good .

DarkOcelet3442d ago

COD campaigns are getting stale lately, Black Ops1 Campaign was the last good one, after that it sucked.

Utalkin2me3442d ago

Ummm, i like Bf. But Bf 4 was broken for months and months and CoD at least runs solid for the most part at launch. But it's all opinions in which gametype you prefer, some people like Bf slower pace and some people like CoD faster pace.

DeadlyOreo3442d ago

The only Battlefield game I thought was pretty decent was Bad Company 2, the rest are pretty forgettable. Whereas most Call Of Duty games I have enjoyed months on end (except maybe MW3 and Ghosts)

Pretty good list. Botany Manor would be the newest addition that encapsulates that title.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.

It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.

GamerRN30d ago

It's because it's on Xbox. When Xbox has amazing graphics, they don't matter. When PlayStation does, it's a game changer!

Lightning7730d ago

Pretty much my thoughts. They were technical marvel's on PS and still are. The moment Xbox puts out a graphically intense game is doesn't matter suddenly.

4 years ago this month would the UE5 tech demo debut with the girl flying (tech demo said it was only possible on PS5 because of the SSD. Glad to finally see it in its glory.

fr0sty30d ago

FFS, gaming journalism has really gone downhill. At least hire people with a basic grasp of grammar... "Me neither" means the exact opposite of what the "author" is trying to say. That's like saying "I could care less"... lol.

S2Killinit30d ago

Maybe because the gameplay being dull allowed it to have the amazing graphics and people are not as impressed by graphics alone anymore? I mean there is a lot of sites saying the story and the gameplay are lackluster. So what are we supposed to enjoy then? Cgi graphics are beautiful but since they arent interactive, they dont impress me as much as they used to. Thats an extreme example, but you get my drift.

Terry_B30d ago

When Playstation (Sony) does it..its usually a great game and not a cinematic experience..or at least something new at the time..like Until Dawn back in 2015.

1Victor30d ago

@gamer:” It's because it's on Xbox. When Xbox has amazing graphics, they don't matter. When PlayStation does, it's a game changer!”

The game looks as good as any other PlayStation game in my eyes why can’t you and the other hardcore Xbox be happy about it and drag PlayStation into every conversation and force PlayStation hardcore to look into the game and find flaw that most games have in one way or another.
@light: “ 4 years ago this month would the UE5 tech demo debut with the girl flying (tech demo said it was only possible on PS5 because of the SSD. ”
Yes at that time it was only possible on PlayStation SSD how ignorant of you to think that after 4 years the technology wouldn’t evolved and move to a industry standard 🤦🏿I wish your mentality wasn’t so naive and narrow to post stuff like that 😩 in a year or 2 a new game will come out that might look better, it’s the nature of the industry.

Now that the distraction is gone I feel that is a good thing that the graphics in games are starting to hit the rooftop and hopefully the developers will put more thoughts into story and gameplay mechanics than just the next shiny oily skin of old.

Reaper22_30d ago

So true. Not surprised by all the negativity. It's a really good game and looks better than any game I've ever seen. GOTY nominee for sure. Like I said before, sony screwed up big time by not purchasing Ninja Theory.

Asplundh30d ago

Pretty much. It's like how the Switch and Steam controller using haptic feedback in their controllers wasn't a big deal but then Sony did it and it was then a "game changer".

fr0sty30d ago

The game runs at as low as 21fps... That isn't much to brag about no matter how good it looks.

MajorLazer30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

We've had graphical gamechangers before, such as Crysis but those games still had gameplay to compliment it. Hellblade pretty much has none, and only achieved such graphics through being incredibly linear and having very small, closed off environments where very little is happening.

Vx_30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

GFX does not mean anything if the game is boring. It is simple like that and these major companies need to understand this simple concept.

Games are like your lady, she may be beautiful to look at for a while but then it gets boring if her character isn't interesting and fun to be with.

Horizon forbidden West has great graphics and great gameplay

GamerRN30d ago

Yeah but graphics don't matter, remember?

anast29d ago

@RN

I've been pretty consistent in saying that we need both.

GamerRN28d ago

So until dawn, too human, or whatever those series of games were... Graphic masterpieces it garbage with no gameplay?

VincentVanBro30d ago

I agree and I actually think Forbidden West looks better than Hellblade 2. I easily prefer looking at it at least.

Sonic188130d ago

It does look better in my opinion as well. I don't know why it looks better but there's something about the Decima engine or that guerrilla games is using tricks that we don't know of

Abear2129d ago

Can you fly a mount under water in Hellblade 2? I think not! One of the best moments this Gen
