Gamer Rant: WE THE GAMERS!

Gamers are getting tired of Game companies like Ubisoft telling them 'what they like and don't like'. They say this like they own our money; like they determine where we spend our paychecks at. Thing people don't understand is, is that Nintendo's recent Wii-U is where Nintendo is trying to open to a broader audience which is why when 'Bayonetta 2' was about to be scrapped forever they took up funding it to ensure her fans would still have their beloved witch.

Then the worst part is the Sony and Microsoft fanboys call Wii-U a child's console, but what they don't see is that the Wii-U console is in fact cheaper than the Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Like the other consoles it can control your TV like a remote, act as a computer and game console. What I don't understand is why everyone falls to one side; one company. The gaming wars were only started because of fanboys who don't see the true pros and cons of ALL consoles.


Example of that is when Microsoft was bringing out their Xbox One, they put all kinds of restrictions on it with the 'No used Games' policy they tried to enforce as well as 24-hr need of the internet to even use the console. The bad part was the "Super Microsoft Fanboys" were willing to fork over $500 for the console not even thinking about the fact that they'd have to buy licenses for used games, the internet they NEEDED and so on. Basically saying that if the Restrictions still stood, Microsoft users would be forking out close to 2-K a year based on Xbox Live, points, games, internet, license buying, fees and so on.


Now Sony isn't going to go untouched, they have their issues too. From the whole Hard Drive filling up thing and so on. The issue I have with the PS4 is that the controller makes your hands fall asleep because of the construction of the device then there is nearly no games thus far that are really worth buying the console let alone playing it. "Remastered Games are coming out though," Yeah they are but why play something if you've already played it on say the PS3 or 360? The thing is the PS4 has games coming out in the next few years that are more worth while and when those come out are more of a reason to get the console otherwise I advise waiting because the longer you wait the more Sony has time to work out 'bugs' and get the console 'near perfect'.

The Wii-U was poorly marketed, the Nintendo President has nearly no public speaking skills when marketing one of their products. I mean the way he markets at times makes me fall asleep during the thing. Bland room, Check. Green screen, check. Bad marketing, double check. Thing is the Wii-U is Nintendo's way to expand to every audience and grow bigger than just the old fashion: Mario, Zelda, SSBB, and so on. They want to get bigger with possible shooters, action, and more. But the thing I see SO MUCH is that everyone THINKS they know the console is bad but it's honestly not, I have one and I love having it because I have so many uses for it. Because of the horrible marketing the Nintendo President did, people were turned off by his monotone voice failing to explain everything about their console. Which is why they are so behind in sales. The only reason things are picking up is because of SSBB, Mario Cart, and new Zelda games as well as this new Pokken game.


Now this leads me into the new thing going on: #OperationPlatinum which is to sell the Bayonetta 2 game at over 1-million copies. Why is this? Ubisoft states Nintendo Users don't like mature games. Wrong Ubisoft; and who are you to tell US who pay YOUR bills by BUYING your games what we like and don't like?! How DARE you Ubisoft. We pay your bills because WE the GAMERS buy your games. If we didn't buy your games your company would end up like THQ; Bankrupted and everyone working there looking for a new job. So to sit there and tell US what WE like is crossing the line. You don't control our money. We technically control you, because without the money WE pay to buy a companies they wouldn't have a job. Consumers are the ones who run the companies because we pay the bills. Without us they would collapse.

I don't know about other people but I don't like being told what I like and don't like. I'm not a slave, I'm not a puppy being yanked on a leash. That's what makes me very F*#@%$^ angry because without people buying their products most companies would never last. Look at many other companies in the past: they produced bad games/consoles and what would happen to them? They would fail, lose everything and be bought out by someone else because they lost everything. So Ubisoft crossed the line by saying what WE THE GAMERS like and don't like.


Dear Ubisoft, I love your games, I mostly like the AC series. You need to really work on Watch Dogs because there was too many glitches and whonky mechanics but do not; DO NOT tell me what I like and don't like. Thank you, Love one of the many paying your bills so we control you. Love you~
