I have no remorse for people who preorder or buy something early. The internet is here for your use. Why the fukk are you still being duped into buying bullshyt that doesn't function properly or live up to its hype?
This generation is off to a ridiculously bad start (rant)

Knack looked like fun
Played Knack over my cousins house for two hours and I wanted to kill myself because of how boring it was.
The gaming market is eventually going to collapse. The cost of developing games is too high. The budgets are out of control. If a studio doesn't do insane numbers on these AAA titles they shut it down after one game now. Ubisoft's bottom line depends on putting out a game like Assassin's Creed annually. If the game is broken they just get it half functional and ship anyway while playing games with the review copies to minimize the reviews effects on sales.
Even on the indie front Double Fine had no issue shipping half a game in Broken Age then they ran out of development money and needed more funding. This is the new normal. Games are more of an ongoing subscription service than a finite product. They sell you games and they almost require you have internet to use them.

It's been 15 months already for the XBOX One and PS4. Every goddamn company should be held responsible for this bullshyt, this is fukking ridiculous. Everything from hardware to software has been either broken, overpriced, or filled with annoying issues. The Halo master chief collection was the last straw for me. Enough is enough, people are spending too much money on this shyt. I owned a PS4 for a while, now have an xbox one...problems all over the place. This is not even an argument about quality of the titles released, but functionality. Too much money is being spent on shyt that doesn't work as expected.
The Wii U off to a slow start, no 3rd party support yet again. Nintendo again with their stubborn ways, abysmal sales partly due to the naming of a "successful" predecessor which pissed off the hardcore crowd. Launching an 8GB model? The hardware sales for this console will never be strong as a result, I expect new Nintendo hardware talked about as early as this e3.
The XBOX One AWFUL reveal which microsoft revealed a GAME console and only talk about features and other bs gamers didn't really care about. On top of that? DRM bullshyt that put them on fire, Mattrick being removed, and then a complete reversal on many of their bullshyt policies. Less powerful hardware than the PS4 AND required kinect initially bundled in for $500, its obvious as to why they started off slow. Power of "the cloud" bullshyt has been nothing but a smokescreen as games actually INSTALL faster when you are not connected to "the cloud". Ironically I think the xbox one had the best games in 2013-2014.
Rather slow start for the PS4 when it comes to great games and PSN issues.
This is a tough one because most consoles launch with a weak lineup, but the PS4 was going up against a front loaded assault by the XBOX One and Nintendo having their great 1st party titles. 2015 seems like it will be Sony's year when it comes to games
Ubisoft...I don't even have to get into detail with this damn company
AC Unity - Trash, Broken
Watch_Dogs - Underwhelming
Ubi games on PC - Unoptimized BS
343 Studios - Halo Master Chief collection is STILL broken, its FEBRUARY and the most important release so far in the xbox one's lifetime.
Even NVIDIA deserves some flack for the 970 fiasco...watch the video below for more.
NOBODY should be pre-ordering shyt right now, not hardware, not software...nada. This IMO has been the worst start of a generation I can ever remember. You have people that have invested anywhere between $1000-$4000 to be ready for this entire generation and have been treated like shyt, this is the kind of shyt that can cause a crash. The industry can't continue to go on with these issues, you are burning the enthusiastic crowd.
DAP + REP!!!
they are sticking their dikks directly in our asses while we say "take our money"
every single fukking time..
name the last game released that didn't need updates immediately?? followed by 3 more... yet the next one comes and offers 3 new costumes and we buy it
and why the fukk am i playing tekken tag with 30 damn characters, but now i gotta 4.99 to unlock more than 8 in every game
why i gotta pay for SOMETHING in every game... i mean it's fukking madden... "oh oh oh do you want extra scouting points..... 4.99"
they basically giving us beta games... making us pay full price... coming back around to hit us for at least 3-4 more games with micros and dlc... then the shyt don't work.. AFTER the paid off reviews copy word for word what the company SAYS the game does... then we find out it was all lies, shyt is scaled back, and laggy and not what was advertised... then they say we'll make it right................... on part two..... so preorder now!!!
No they wouldn't. Maybe in the US, but that's it. Because they'd get slaughtered everywhere else. Plus, the comparisons that happen now wouldn't just magically end either.
Would the gap be smaller? I think so, but would they be winning. NOPE.
Playstation is a worldwide brand, it's been proven 3 gens so far. Xbox? Not so much. The only reason it's even really relevant is the botched PS3 launch.
I don't think the gen is off to a "rediculously" bad start, but the games being released broken is a little rediculous no doubt.

Sounds like your goofy ass is upset you bought an Xbox one
The few ps4 issues had no impact on my gaming experience this year outside of Christmas bit working in IT in forgive them. It's not an easy gig having 100 percent uptime for complex systems.
Xbox one just being an inferior piece of trash as an excuse to break into the tv market is disgraceful

Gaming died a long time ago to me with the start of day-1-dlc/online passes/preorder bonuses/selling of content on disc 
S*** just ain't that fun to me at all anyway either. I don't feel like supplying money to support this hobby atm. I'll probably cop a next gen console for the low in about 3-4 years but I'm good right now. Only game I play is Shadowrun(goat
) on the 360

Everyone keeps saying this like it's some new undiscovered thought about the industry.
Must be at least 3 years now the imminent collapse has been predicted.
And yea big budget studios may go the wayside, but that doesn't mean games will stop.
I actually thoroughly enjoyed myself on PS4 and Vita all year, matter of fact I had too many fun games to play to even beat them all in that one year.
