Back in August of 2008, I received my first ever Xbox 360 for my birthday. Young and naive I was happy and filled with joy, because I finally got to sit down and play Assassin's Creed and Dragon Ball Z in my own home. Eventually, I fell victim to the Halo bandwagon and found myself committing mass genocides and glorious defiling of enemy corpses by the art of "T-Bagging." And I enjoyed every second of it. I enjoyed customizing my Avatar, making him look exactly like Sasuke Uchiha from the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden Animated TV series. And over the years I played a number of games, and I'll even name a few:
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Dragon Age Origins, Fable II, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, Record Of Agarest War Zero, and Forza. I'm stopping this list at Forza because that's when something began to click in my young mind. Aside from games like Halo, Fable, and Forza, most of my other gaming interest could be satisfied on PlayStation. And even more so, because titles like Agarest War Zero had another game that was PlayStation exclusive. Darth Vader from Soul Caliber IV was PlayStation exclusive. And a good chunk of RPG and J-RPG titles were mostly Play Station Exclusive. So I began comparing the two companies, Sony and Microsoft and comparing there consoles. And my eyes began to see more clearly, other than communicating with real life friends who had fallen victim to the Xbox 360 bandwagon, I personally had no real reason to own an Xbox. To be honest, just like how I don't care for COD, I really don't care for Halo. And I especially HATE Gears Of War. Forza, I must admit, is a beautiful marble and masterpiece of a video game. I don't have anything nice to say about Fable either, so why should I continue to own a Microsoft console? At this time, I had already possessed a PlayStation Portable (PSP) and before there was Xbox 360 I had owned a PlayStation 2. So eventually I got rid of my Xbox 360, cutting my ties with the Light and pledged my loyalty to the Dark Side. And my life has never been better.
Hey, Lionheart, that story doesn't exactly tell me why you continue to choose PlayStation over Xbox. I mean, the Xbox One is cheaper and they even have backwards compatibility. Xbox let's you browse their interface and keep multiple windows open so you can multi-task. With Kinect, I can even just say things like "Xbox! Open Netflix. Xbox, Play Jessica Jones." And be good to go, so I'm not seeing what makes PlayStation better. You even said you like how you were able to customize your avatar to make him look like Sasuke Uchiha. I think you're in denial my friend, come back into the Light, we have Scalebound and cookies.
Okay, Scalebound aside, which isn't even out yet. Xbox One is cheaper because it's inferior to the PlayStation 4, and because you challenged the beauty that is the PlayStation you've forced my hand. Now I will reign down the Hammer Of Justice, explaining to you why PlayStation 4 is currently the best console available.
Games, Games, Games. Let's take a look at PlayStation 3 exclusives Xbox 360 wasn't allowed access to.
Beyond: Two Souls, Demon Souls, Ni No Kuni and oh my God was Ni No Kuni good! Uncharted, The Last Of Us, Disgaea 2: A Brighter Darkness, Kingdom Hearts!! Kingdom Hearts alone is enough to end this conversation but since you've angered the Sony God's the list must go on. Soul Caliber Lost Swords, Tales Of Xillia, Tales Of Graces F, Tales Of Xillia 2, White Knight Chronicles, and a few more games. That's with the PS3 Alone!
Now let's discuss PSP and PS Vita titles:
Disgaea Infinite, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Dungeon Siege Throne Of Agony which by far was my favorite PSP title, Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, Final Fantasy Type 0, Generation Of Chaos: Pandora's Reflection, Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex, .hack//Link, Monster Hunter Freedom, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Phantasy Star Portable, Phantasty Star Portable 2, Ragnarok Tactics. Again, this is with the PSP alone, now lets discuss PS Vita titles:
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, Demon Gaze, Digimon World: Next Order, Freedom Wars, Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed, Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection, Monster Monpiece (lol, interesting game), Mind Zero, Persona 4: Dancing All Night, Phantasy Star Nova, Toukiden: Age Of Demon and Soul Sacrifice. These are PSP and PS Vita Exclusives that caught my eye, and there are waaay more that I didn't even mention. Why stop there, let's mention some PlayStation exclusives The PlayStation 4 will be getting or already has:
Bloodborne, Until Dawn, Unchared 4, Hellblade Horizon Zero Dawn, Sword Art Online Games, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, Ratchet & Clank, Dragon Quest Builders, Dragon Quest Heroes, Dragon Quest Heroes II, Dragon Quest XI, Final Fantasy VII: Remake, Megadimension Neptunia: VII, Phantasty Online 2, Shadow Of The Beast, Tales Of Zestiria, Toukiden Kiwami, Star Ocean: Integrity And Faithlessness, Technomancer and World Of Final Fantasy.
Yes, you Xbox users have your little Windows 10 interface. You can customize your avatars, you guys have your little Halo, Forza, and Scalebound. But that's all you guys have. You have a kinect that nobody wants, Xbox live party chat is a little more fun than PlayStation's party chat, you guys have had the twitch app for awhile and it functions properly. But aside from things like that, Xbox really has nothing on PlayStation. And oh yeah, backwards compatibility is a joke. Why on Earth would I buy a next gen console so I could play Final Fantasy XIII? A joke! Also, all of the "Good" games on Xbox are 3rd party games that can be played on PlayStation, while if played on PlayStation gamers have access to exclusive or timed exclusive content. If you guys called that the "Light" then you can keep your dim light, the Dark Side that is Sony will forever continue to unify gamers across the world.
P.S. I forgot to mention if you own a PlayStation Vita you can share play games from your PlayStation 4 onto your PlayStation Vita device. And take your gameplay from the Bedroom or Living Room elsewhere letting your Spouse or Children used the TV. Or how the PlayStation 4 SHAREfactory allows you to record up to 15 minutes of game per recording, and then edit up to 40 clips and publish videos to youtube up to 30 minutes long.
Sorry Sir Lionheart, now I see why PlayStation is so magnificent, and superior to my little
Yes. Bow before the PlayStation Gods, all hail Sony!
