Gamers By Nature: Three negative things about each console

Gamers by Nature writes: "We bought our consoles. We love them a lot. Some, maybe love them too much and strike down any form of attack on their console, like this article. But I DO hope you guys that have read this far are mature enough to handle a little criticism. Because no matter what you have, you know there’s at least a little something that you want to change!"

Why would I wanna play with a 360 USB controller..?

ShinMaster5464d ago

Well on the PS3, as the article was stating.

BakedGoods5464d ago

They forgot one thing: no good upcoming 360 games (outside of Reach).

Active Reload5464d ago

I don't agree with...90% of those, maybe even 95%. One glaring issue would be the Wii complaints. I have access to HD consoles, so for the Wii not to have those types of graphics doen't totally bother me. But I do think Nintendo should add an achievement system. Me PERSONALLY, I feel like I'm not getting a full value of a game if it doesn't have this feature. This is MY OPINION...

ApocalypseShadow5464d ago

"why would i want to play with a 360 controller on ps3?"

if i have been using the dualshock since it RELEASED on playstation systems and like the layout.....just....please.this is a dumb negative.

custom dynamic themes?yeah..i can agree.free themes were great early on.open source dynamic themes would be cool.but then......we got idiots like GEOHOT....

and as an early adopter,it may not run as cool,but i got the best end of the stick with the US60gig(now 500gig)ps3 that i have had since launch.i still play ps2,i use flash drives and memory sticks on it.it has more ports that i don't have to add to it.i can charge 2 controllers,plug in the ps2 memory card adapter and the pseye.

article should have added the web browser.as much as it works,there are so many things wrong with it.it locks up,can't load some videos,only has 6 pages maximum and it SHOULD load ridiculously fast.i mean got d@mn,the cell processor should be making pages pop up at warp 9.when it works,it works.i can stream and download so many things and surf from my bed.

but sony,give me a better web browser.

BeaArthur5464d ago

He says in the article why you would want to play with a 360 controller...if you have a friend over and don't have enough controllers.

IHateYouFanboys5463d ago

also the fact that the 360 controller is a better controller in every way apart from the dpad.

ImmortalLegend5464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

I can think of 3 different negative things myself for each console I own.

360
1) It's fucking loud! I know this can be solved by installing games, but what if I don't have a large HDD?
2) You can now use flash drives for game saves and such, but guess what...they are capped at 16gb. What a slap in the face. So if I want a significant amount of memory I still have to dish out $100+ for a HDD.
3) We all know you have to pay to play online and I don't have a problem with that, but I do have a problem with MS points. They are a scam! I can't ever get the exact amount of points I want for a set price.

PS3
1) Mandatory installs. I know it's about 10-15 minutes of my time, but it can get annoying waiting for a game to install.
2) The cracking/popping noises my PS3 slim makes when it's powered on. I know it's the plastic expanding and stuff, but it's irritating. It also continues to make the noise for like the first half hour of being on every 10-15 minutes.
3) The web browser. Can I please go to a site without my PS3 locking up? I mean it's good to have, but it's damn near useless.

CellularAutomata5464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

Wii's "crappy online system" can be a good thing. Did you know you can play pirated games online? And not get banned?

PS3's "no 360 USB controller" doesn't seem necessary, I think there are accessories to play a with a 360 controller. Also, I remember seeing a PS3 controller that seems to have a similar layout to the 360 controller(left analog is on the dpad and dpad is where the analog should be).

What SHOULD be on the PS3 list is the browser. Every PS3 owner knows the browser sucks, and is ONLY usefull when you dont have a PC.

branchedout5464d ago

I've never really used the PS3 Browser. Always had a computer near. And now, it's super near. It's connected to the same TV as my PS3! But I have a friend, and he swears the thing hates him, because it locks up on him a lot.

T9X695464d ago

He's not the only one, I avoid using it because it runs slow as balls and after about 10-15min of use it locks up. Its a nice feature to have, but right now its almost pointless because it takes longer for the pages to load then to actually get up and hop on the computer. The only real use I've had for it is downloading themes and movies. Other than that I refuse to touch it.

Falloutxii5464d ago

It's like this guy tried to come up with negative things to say about the ps3 and he couldn't think of any except for some lame ones.
1. It doesn't apply anymore there's plenty of games on the ps3.
2. Why would you wanna play with a 360 controller on your ps3.
3. Are custom Dynamic Themes that important?

CellularAutomata5464d ago

1. Remember all the butthurt 07?
2. Because it is best for FPS
3. Are they not?

Ripyealip5464d ago

PS3 # 1 and 3 are just lame, number 2 is just nitpicking

Wii # 3 do graphics really matter?

athlon7705463d ago

"Wii # 3 do graphics really matter?"

If they didn't, we would not have the 360 or the PS3.

Aphe5464d ago

'This one was obvious. I got a PS3 in ’07. Then in ’08 I got a HDTV. I couldn’t believe my eyes at HD graphics. They were amazing! Blowing everything the wii had out of the water in graphical textures… AND STUFF! The next Nintendo console better churn out some HD graphics. Everything’s just so pretty.'

That's how pc gamers have felt about consoles for quite a while to be honest. HD might seem new, but it's been around for quite a while.

nickjkl5464d ago

yeah about that its not the same

hd is nothing but a resolution anything above 480i and is 16:9 is considered HD

now heres where i basically raged

now heres wher eyou idiot pc fuckers come in talking about how you were playing hd since 1980 when the games back then looked nothing like the games of today you might of been putting out games at that resolution but they didnt look good

Non_sequitur5463d ago

Why brag about higher resolutions when TVs are 1080p? Also, why care about that res when most people have monitors no bigger than 20 in.?

waterboy5464d ago

no ps3 exclusive is on pc, so what game should you have felt that way for

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.

It Has Been Over 2,500 Days Since The Elder Scrolls 6 Was Revealed

It's been officially over 2,500 days since The Elder Scrolls 6 was revealed, and fans are still waiting for more than a logo and a mountain range.

It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong

Wait until he hears about Star Citizen...

Halo: Combat Evolved Remake reportedly planned to release in late 2026

Xbox Game Studios' Halo: Combat Evolved Remake is reportedly planned to release in late 2026 to celebrate 25 years of Xbox.

Dear God it's been 4 years since infinite and no official update on anything lol.

Tacoboto5d ago

No official update on anything?

They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite

The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.

GamerRN5d ago

I think remaking Halo Combat Evolved, and going to 2 and 3 again, will help give the studio an idea of how to make a Halo game feel like Halo again

Tacoboto5d ago

Infinite did feel like Halo, that's not what the complaints were...

The complaints were almost literally everything else. Monetization, netcode and desync, the campaign structure, story, and single biome, the weaker-than-expected post-launch content.

InUrFoxHole5d ago

Gotta agree. Infinite felt like halo.

Profchaos5d ago

Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.

And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.

Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.

RaidenBlack6d ago (Edited 5d ago )

They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.

PhillyDonJawn5d ago

Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh

--Onilink--5d ago

Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo

Profchaos5d ago

I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline

Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks

darthv725d ago

This will likely come to PS5 at the same time. 25 years of XB.... shared with PS.

Obscure_Observer5d ago

It´s gonna be among best sellers on PS Store next year regardless.

raWfodog5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I would love to see Lost Odyssey come over to PS5. I would definitely buy that again. That was the first game that I played on my 360. Loved the story and battle system. One of the best JRPGs of all time in my opinion.
