This (past) generation has really created new internet weird behaviours, besides console wars. Game nitpicking. It is getting really tiresome. There are tons of average and bad games, but people need to shit on awesome games just because they dislike them (legit, tastes are like asses, everyone has theirs, just skip it or go for the games you like) or pretend them to be another game ( scripted vs free roaming). MAybe this is some kind of stealth console wars, since most of the affected games happen to be exclusives.
Those are indeed stealth console war threads. Shitting on exclusives. It goes both ways by the way, we had a Halo is dying thread yesterday. It affects mostly the best exclusives, halo, uncharted, mgs4... It's unconsciously painful for them that those awesome games were not on their favorite platform and that they're extremely successful both critically and in sales.
You can see it's console war stuff because as soon as a game or dev is becoming multiplatform, those threads stop. No more hate thread on mgs now that it's multi, and nobody shits on insomniac anymore.
