I visit this site a few times throughout the course of a day. I'm able to read gaming news and catch up with everything going on; however, the majority of comments on various articles show nothing but negativity. Negativity towards what? Well, mostly between each other depending on which piece of plastic you prefer more. The negativity is mostly between Playstation fanboys and Xbox fanboys. I say fanboys cause regular fans would not go to such great lengths to downplay the other company or its fans and would not spend so much time defending their preferred console. Fans would just play the system their own(systems if they own more than one) and enjoy what they have. And before anyone says, 'Xbots started it first' or 'Sony ponies started it first,' it honestly shouldn't matter who started it first; you have the power to stop it from continuing instead of fueling it even more.
As gamers, we should unite and discuss future titles coming out or give a suggestion as to what games to play; we should not be attacking one another.
This upcoming section is from personal experience:
With my group of friends, we all have different systems. One friend greatly prefers his Xbox One while another prefers his PS4 but that doesn't stop them from trying each other's systems out or discussing upcoming games. They've even swapped consoles to see what they are missing out on. I've even let friends borrow my systems to play games they would have never played. Most recently, my Xbox friend borrowed my PS4 for Digimon while my PC friend borrowed it for Bloodborne. My Playstation friend borrowed my Wii U to play through Nintendo games he missed out on this generation as well. Why don't these friends own all the systems like I do? They don't have the money and that is understandable. I got lucky with owning all the systems this generation.
What I am saying is this: instead of attacking one another, enjoy what you have. You'll learn that instead of defending/attacking a piece of plastic, you can just play the games you have and enjoy what you got. You'll see life is better when you aren't surrounded by so much negativity.
Burly Bird Media: ARC Raiders has no business being this good. A reasonably objective eye can see it’s not a particularly original conceit within the extraction shooter space, and the scale of its ambition is such that one might expect servers to be wonky or combat to be unbalanced. Yet despite these assumptions, what remains is a title that is fiercely confident in its delivery, and a developer that is leveraging its considerable talent pool (following their barnstorming work on The Finals) to make a game that feels cohesive and ready to drop.
Pearl Abyss has set November 2 as the potential global launch date for Crimson Desert, according to a reliable Korean website.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I have no idea what happened for MindsEye to come out at such a pitiful state, but even if it worked as intended, it would have been, at best, a truly mediocre cover shooter with a subpar “what if big techs were bad” story (spoiler alert: they also are in real life). But when you add in the horrendous framerate, poor optimization, braindead enemy AI, and countless bugs, then there’s no way to recommend this trainwreck, even to those looking for an ironic playthrough of a crappy game. Don’t bother with it, there’s plenty of fish in the sea right now. You don’t need to risk your stomach eating one that has eaten too many microplastics over the years."
we srsly need the open zone back, it was hillarious seeing ppl trolling and fighting each others. i say cvilized comments go to this section and whatever else goes there.
Well Cocoa you do have a point there.
But trolls will be trolls and idiots will always play the victim here. So there's nothing that you can do about this. I really wish N4G had no trolls but the internet doesn't work that way.
I get what you're trying to do but I dont see why this needed to be an article on N4G, this kind of thing has been going on for a very long time and it isn't stopping any time soon.
The problem isn't negativity, it's fanboys & blind ignorance.
The gaming industry isn't in a good place at the moment. Due to cutting huge noticeable portions of game out to sell as additional DLC, the norm of releasing broken games to fix later. The increase price of both game & DLC despite creation tools & methods becoming cheaper. The huge increase in false marketing by developers & publishers. The dumbing down of games in order to make them "more casual friendly" (..or cheaper to finance & an easy way of the public accepting laziness, depending on which side of the fence you're on.). The lies from console manufactures. Now it seems the increased console cycle may become something that will be promoted in future. The depth of wide spread bribery. The list is endless.
If you're tired of the negativity I would suggest you're definitely involved in the wrong industry & should also educate yourself on the corporate greed that is increasing so dramatically around you. Before it's too late & you wish you yourself would of been a little more negative back when you had the chance to be.
