Polygon PS4 12 hour discussion stream

Well, I only cross posted it because I saw some people were wondering again why he was this way. I thought it prudent.

However, now I understand your thoughts and will leave it at that. Thank you for clarifying.

I just think we are causing so much undue angst comparing him to, for example, getting hit with a lightning bolt made out of Ginsu knives or perhaps Kingdom Hearts 2.

LMAO! Love me some Memento...
 
Pong type game looks cool, but holy shit why all the BS before and after the game.. no need for stupid robot and champagne crap each game.

Those games need immediate start/stop/start.
 
Watched some of the stream:

Vita UI is ugly.
PS 4 is a game console with no games.
Games resolution matter to very few.
Sony didnt included the camera to undercut Ms because its waht sony does.
Camera should have been started
Ms have vision for kinect.
UI and os is not good.
disappointed that there is 5ghwifi because MS have it
Vita remote play has noticeable lag. Its only locally available.its only for Japanese market .
Navigation on vita sucks
Remote is pretty usless


I am done with the stream. have heard more about Ms than ps4
 
What the hell? I guess he is asking for clickbait only.

I've read what Y2K has said regarding Gies. Just adding to the Vanquish quotes because it's bad/false/worth pointing out. The "clunky" quote is just one of Gies' gems regarding the game. He also claimed that Vanquish only has a good average review score because all the Godhand/Clover fanboys in the gaming press demanded to review it. No, he wasn't joking. He was serious.
 
This reminds me I need to replay Vanquish...

I played originally on Xbox 360, how is the PS3 version?

Marginally better than the 360 version. The PS3 one has v-sync and triple buffering, so doesn't have the mild tearing that was in the 360 version.
 
If he says something false or bad, I don't think it is unfair to point it out. But we also don't need you to crosspost your convincing argument for why he is so bad because I think everyone gets it intuitively. Again, he is bad on the level of sitting in a giant pile of shit with a brand new suit on or perhaps your house being washed away in a flood of cat urine. QED.
So your a mod can articles, tweets...ect. by this particularly biased tool be banned like certain websites are.
 
I am watching now. I really do not like anyone at Polygon. How pessimistic could these guys be? They are already talking about price drop on the PS4.
 
This is great. I'm glad that we as Gaffers are unified by our collective ire and ridicule of Polygon. Without the flashy website or time to scuplt a review, it becomes apparent that these guys are just a bunch of buffoons.

It's like watching a trashy reality TV show with your friends and just taking the piss out of everyone on it.
 
BFPS4 multi no worky or why are they doing the campaign?

No one's paying any sort of attention to the game. :P
Grinding your body up against the tank is not a very efficient strategy.
Nor is pushing pebbles around on the roof of a building.

I believe they didn't have an origin aaccount handy to log in with, and he's playing as a pacifist soldier, that's why he's just messing about.
 
Now this is good internet television.
The crowd who migrated to the other stream thread about the misery and frustration of broken PS4 guy are missing out.

Ok. Well he did pretty good then.
 
If we're not going to ban Polygon, what's the rationale for not banning anything by Gies, especially when Evilore himself called him the most dishonest person in the gaming press?

Not only is the polygon crew completely devoid of any personality (but that's just my opinion), if polygon wanted to be taken seriously, as a modern and independent gaming website, they would have never taken microsoft's cash to fund a documentary.

Here's an old ass tweet from one of the polygon guys:

He was complaining about how some games journalists were advertising a game on Twitter in order to win a PS3. Seeing someone post this, who is part of a website that took cash of one of the big 3 players in the console space to fund a documentary is, to put it bluntly, pathetic.

So, wait, we're supposed to believe both the meme that Microsoft is a bunch of divisons shooting at each other via internal feuds (see xkcd post and also any story about Microsoft on the Internet in the pasr decade) and that the Internet Explorer and XBox divisions conspired to pay off _one_ web site, especially as posted previously, XBox 360 games also rank below the Metacritic above.

I mean, I get it. Arthur Gies is worse than cancer. But, would you believe that for instance, Kotaku was biased, if Sony's TV Division sponsored them for a month?

The whole thing is a totally batshit conspiracy theory. It's sad that so many people continue to repeat it day in, day out.

What the actual FUCK - this is really something that they said?

Can we put this bullshit fansite on the banned list? It's clear at this point they're not actually offering genuine opinions, they'r just playing to a script Fox News-style.

Really should be banned, deny him clicks, let him work for ms pr or fast food where he belongs.

I approve of this. Since their inception Polygon has been nothing more than an EA/MS backed outlet to spread FUD and misinformation.
 
Scum like you is no match for Xbox One - Gies Howard

Seriously, it's the only wordplay I could find for the geese gifs. So good. I wish I could...gif...good too.

Yes, yes I would. This isn't about Microsoft or Sony or Nintendo.
It's about these people not having any kind of standards whatsoever. I can't take the opinion of a website seriously when at it's very inception they took money from a company that is one of the biggest players of the market they're covering. I don't care if it's from Sony Pictures or the IE team or whatever.
I mean, I don't even follow any website besides GB, who despite having their preferences, just call some things out the way they are. I'm especially glad they don't care about reviews or previews or crap like that, since I can't even remember the days I cared about how someone else across the world feels about a game.

In all honesty, I think this whole gaming journalism industry is a joke and nothing more than a bunch of marionettes, and I've expressed it several times here on GAF. But hey, that's just me :)
