Apparently, some people seem to think the Giant Bomb staff generally appreciate the Xbox 360 more than the PS3. While I can't speak for them personally, I can say that it would make perfect sense. Whether you're talking about online play or system functionality, it seems that the Sony zealots are fucked both ways. But hey, you 360 kids are still just a bunch of dicks, so both of u, keep reading. I should add, I guess, that most of my points are no-brainers to most people, and the problem seems to be that people are just afraid to confront their wasted money, religious-like devotion, and their pointless child-like aggression.
Let's talk online. There are just so many damn people online for the 360. When u own a system like that, any form of trophies or achievements for any other platforms become pointless. (Don't say otherwise either... I mean... unless ur retarded.) Like, for the PS3, they might have some cool PSN titles that come out, like Crash Commandos... and I kinda liked Cell Factor, but give those games a week(a day, for the latter) and you will see a tremendous drop in online attendance. Matching up games will prove annoying and depressing... and after awhile, u will just say, "What's the point?" and turn the game off - for good. For disc-based games... like GTA IV, there's a large "occupancy" problem. GTA IV has been out for awhile now, and I recently went on my ps3 to see what was up with its months-old online component. I found it really hard to get a full game(4 people) going in Hangman's NOOSE, noticing my fellow player body guards(besides tending to - still - crash their helicopters into the ground and shout "WTF!") are either rank 1 or rank 8(The in-between seems to be less common somehow.) On the 360, this isn't a problem. You may have a lot more people at lvl 8 than when the game first came out...no shit... but there are enough people out there who JUST got the game, so that you can have an enjoyable, slightly-more-balanced match than you can on the ps3. It seems the "fuck it" mentality comes with low online population. Early on, it was pretty easy for me to enjoy a nice Online Freeburn in Burnout Paradise, but now, way after its release, im seeing about one person dropping every couple minutes. I'm guessing it's for the same reason that I say Fuck it: There's like five people playing, one of them is a toy car, one is across the map in the airport, one just wants to fly around really fast in the Marty Mcfly hovercar, and me and some dude have been doing u-turn take-downs for about twenty minutes. Plus, im the purple dot.
Anyway. Get away from all that online stuff, and you've got a very obvious issue that many people, as well as me, have a hard time coming to terms with. The numbers just aren't there. As Bethesda CLEARLY demonstrated with Fallout 3, developers just aren't gonna give a shit about the ps3 version of their multi-platform games. Not a big enough audience, not enough income, too little gain. It really is that simple. And well... sadly... the PS3 does have a harder time dealing with anti-aliasing(ability to smooth out potentially jagged lines in the game world. Really, just play Fallout 3 for PS3. Yep. Fuck Bethesda.)
So there you go. From a Sony kid's perspective, too. If u still can't see why the Giant Bomb staff generally gravitates towards the Xbox 360, well... then you're retarded. And another thing. Stop with all the PS3 bashing. We payed $700 for that thing.
Edit: re-read it and took some gay shit out
