    Clearly some of you have problems with other people's opinions. Last time I checked I was allowed one, but no, obviously not here. I HAVE to think Uncharted is the most amazing looking game this gen or else:
      I'm deluded
      Work for Microsoft
      An extreme fanboy
      Living in a fantasy world
      Been living in a "secrect wum" for years

    It goes on...

    Its not that you don't get an opinion its that you can't except some games look better on PS3 than they could ever look on an Xbox 360 is a fact, if you just admit and accept that people will take you more seriously

    Do you really think that Halo 4 in terms of graphics alone looks better than uncharted 3?
    Can you not just give the PS3 the one compliment it deserves it looks significantly better than the 360 in the hands of the right developers?

    (i literally had to check the thread title again for this next part)
    Yes retailers should have to tell people its a connected only device, i can see a lot of unwanted gift returns in the new year if they don't

    Returns? Should auntie know first if little johnny has an XBone first before buying a game for it as a present?

    Its no different to buying him a PS4 game if he only has an XBone, or a console game when he only has a PC.

    It's NOT a fact. I'm not denying how great these games look and i was blown away by GOW3 but Uncharted is not all that great, it has some stunning set-pieces but Tomb Raider was on par. It couldn't be any more on rails if it tried and the AI is braindead as I already suggested. I've admitted in the past that there are things that each of the consoles can for that the other one can't, it's not a one way thing Thomas.

    I do truly believe Halo 4 is more technically advanced/looks nicer than Uncharted 3. [link]

    Halo 4 gameplay looks great. The graphics aren't amazing though. I can think of a few titles off the top of my head which look better. The PS3 is the more powerful device and that's clear in a lot of the first party games which look better than Halo 4.

    Clearly some of you have problems with other people's opinions.

    I think maybe, just MAYBE, it's the way you word things, I mean come on, you can't just say it's me when you have a lot of other people on the forums calling you out! You do come across very, how shall we say, Microsoft focused, and you always tend to put down Sony no matter what, even in the Sony section, combine those two and you can see where people are getting this view of you being the f word* from.

    And in turn, when you make these kind of statements, it slightly derails threads as people will continue to call you out when you make them, it's not just your opinion, but what words and structure you use to convey that opinion.

    *I'm not allowed to say it, last few times I called him this word NOT 2D kept reporting me to the Staff here and I was threatened with a ban if I ever said it again. :p

    As for the actual topic, I think it will be made clear, either in advance or from backlash, at some point, it will be noted down somewhere that you will need a constant Internet Connection to play games.

    If I'm doing anything wrong then the moderators will take appropriate action but my posts are very rarely removed because I don't get often personal with other people, I just chat about games. If some of you want to have a go at me for my opinion then fine, but do remember to look in the mirror.

    This thread is a prime example of why I took a break from this forum, sometimes it is ever so childish on here.

    It really, really could have y'know, considering the vast majority of it wasn't on rails at all.

    Uh huh. It's just a small part of the game, not necessarily the highlight of it just a video I pulled up. The whole thing looks great but it doesn't all look like this.

    I thought you posted a "good" video to demonstrate how amazing it looked. But that looked SHIT. Way to sell the XBone there.

    Yep, well I think it looks great. :) It doesn't actually have anything to do with "XBone" to be honest.

    Just you wait till Halo 5 comes out and uses the infinite power of the cloud. You'll see how good it looks then. Right 2D...? ;)

    I hear their cloud is so powerful you won't even need an Xbox - it'll just slow it down. Halo 7 will travel backwards in time and launch before the Atari VCS causing an infnite loop of gaming evolution, all of it Halo.

    Just back from a ban for using the F word, pathetic.

    What word can I use to describe somebody who defends a brand at every single turn, never criticising and in turn attacking its competition, using sometimes ludicrous and comical arguments?

    Back on point, yes Game and the like should of course say a net connection is required. It has watchdog all over it.

    A banfoy. From;

    Ban - to exclude
    Foy - a gift

    i.e. someone who gifts a ban to others.

    It's pathetic isn't it. I never report anyone for not agreeing with views. Are all Digital Spy mods Xboxs fan**** or something.

    I got a ban once for complaining about people complaining about CoD, i mean how silly can this site be to ban me for 2 days for saying that people should stop moaning

    Have to agree though i've had my fair share of arguments on here but never once have i considered hitting the report button, if you can't take other peoples opinion's perhaps a discussion forum isn't the place for you

    The t&c do state that members are not allowed to call others fanboys and I can sort of understand that as the term is almost exclusively used as a put down. However, I also think that people do goad others into calling them fanboys just so they can hit the alert. We all need to rise above the goading because we are better than that.

    Nah, it's just that you have to remember DS is not a specialised forum. It is a hub for discussion of all different sorts and so the mods are not really familiar with the fact debates about issues like gaming can get heated but the members don't really have anything personal against each other - dedicated gaming forums have much more intense debates than anything we can have here.

    but to even hit report when somebody labels you a fanboy is rather pathetic.

    It is, but the mods foster that sort of behaviour because they take action against it, while on a dedicated gaming forum if somebody reported a post calling somebody else a fanboy the mods would just laugh at it.

    I agree that it is and I hope you're not insinuating that it's me. I'm all about the free speech and I can't say I've even seen any posts that could be classed as alert-worthy over the past few days

    No, not you at all 2D. I didn't even see the word as an insult. To me It was just somebody that is very pro one side. Or so I thought.
