People are just using this thread to say "I didn't like thing other people liked." I'm not sure why I expected any better.

Times when everyone on the internet lied to you

People told me fast loading times of cartridges were more important than the CD content on the PS1
My first Android was a Note 4. I came from multiple iPhones to it.
It was amazing. I was playing SNES games on it and drawing/writing with my pen within the first few days. Take that OP :-P
I'd take my Pixel 3 over anything right now, really like it. Also, the built in call screening is the greatest.
My PS4 slim is pretty quiet, but the OG was bad...and the Pro is loud. My Xbox 1X can get loud during certain games, like Gears 4. (it's not as out in the open as it should probably be though).
The internet does have a shaky record.

Most of them aren't in your decade. I love it when they insist that Phoebe Cates, as she looked during the 80s, is super interested in meeting me right now. I guess their target demographic wouldn't know about her at all.
It absolutely can be very, very loud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6__TvBzAVj8
Those were defective units.
Also, I've personally heard a PS4 pro that was not one of those defective, and while it wasn't that loud it was uncomfortably loud.
The entire point of the hyperbolic language here is not a direct 1:1 comparison, but rather to highlight an unacceptable noise level.
Alternatively, Hollywood has given everyone ADHD and any movie without a shot or explosion for five straight minutes is "boring".
I'd love to see you guys watch a Kurosawa film, you'd fall into a coma.
Why are you so mad lol. Its crazy that people legit lose their minds over "git gud"
I know this may sound edgy but a friend who super loved God Hand recommended it to me when it released and I remember it being very popular at The Other Place at the time and I bought it and.... I just don't understand? I cannot stand that game at all.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Only if you can't sit still and appreciate slow burning films with less action.
Bad taste is a common factor here.
a Tarkovsky film would send them into a nethermost void of sheer nonexistence
What would you call it? ARPG? Adventure game?
I'd probably call it an adventure game.
Still better than MacBook hardware.
If it's not a swollen, recalled battery (that you can't replace yourself, hell, they can't even replace it in-store) it's a keyboard that messes up.
And don't get me started on the absolutely craptacular touchpad that Apple uses on its laptops.
The Internet said:
Biggest load of BS ever put to print right there.
I'd probably call it an adventure game or, if I'm feeling particularly cheeky, "Far Cry: Robot Edition".
Ah yes, the "stockholm syndrome" defense. Famously used to only defend very good things.
My mom has one of these and it's god awful. Overheats and loses internet connection constantly. She literally only uses it for coupons and facebook and still it crashes.
So basically this thread is just people lying about stuff while acting like they were actually the ones lied to first.
Would you consider something like FFXV or FFVIIR adventure games as well?
I think that if you're looking for great sci fi they're great. If you're looking to be entertained, there are big gulfs in which you will likely be bored.
I prefer the "acquired taste" defense, famously used to defend fucking great things like dark chocolate, sushi, beer and black coffee
I literally cannot hear my TV when I play certain games. It's not hyperbole and there are lot of videos for that on Youtube which you can listen to. It's louder than my vacuum.
the hype surrounding breath of the wild when it launched
never seen a game over hyped/praised to such a degree. felt like a crazy person reading all the insane praise and just... not really experiencing any of the magic from my playthrough.
and this is coming from someone whose favorite video game franchise is zelda and my top 2 games of all time are zeldas.

The way some folks talk about the 3DS on the internet you'd swear it's screen resolution was 24 x 12 or something.
Should have been a Mac user in the DOS/Windows 3.1 days. It was the exact same rhetoric. Then Windows 95 happened, and it was the Linux nerds copping that attitude towards both.
Okay it's not just me. I got a Galaxy S9 and I will not be buying another one. It runs Spotify so unreliably, and that's the majority of what I play with on my phone. Yesterday I was stuck in traffic, opened Spotify and clicked an album. It took several minutes for it to get past buffering, and when it displayed the album, it displayed no songs. I rode in silence. I'm not blaming android, as my friends Pixel has never run Spotify like that. But I'm blaming this shit ass phone.
"No way Trump is winning" was the one.
I don't even live in an English-speaking country and came across news / memes about Trump every day around the elections for the US.
Why people were so certain he wasn't going to win? Even in real life, I found people dismissing any chance...

Really just because it sounded so bizarre on paper. He was a reality tv show host. Then when he won the GOP primary, it turned into "there's still absolutely no way we would elect someone so openly racist and misogynistic"
That Android is faulty and iOS is almost perfect. The truth is, both are solid OSs.
That TLoU is a masterpiece, while a good game, it's far from that.

Do you have the launch CUH-7000 model or the newer CUH-7200 series? There have been reporting the latter is much more likely to be quieter.
I feel like this is ignored too often when discussing PS4 Pro noise levels.

I have the launch 7000 series, and I can tell you that when I am playing certain games (particularly Sony's first party output) it definitely sounds like a hairdryer

I also have a launch model.
The only time I've noticed it get really loud is when certain games unlock FPS in the menus (like Horizon ZD), otherwise it's totally well within acceptable parameters as far as I'm concerned.
Yup. I watched it last year for the first time because I wanted to watch 2049 but for me it was such a letdown that I didn't even bother with 2049, especially knowing how long it is. To be fair though, seeing it more than 30 years after its original release is probably not the best for judging a movie.
OP
OP
Most of the complaints in my post are about the Galaxy S and not Android, and carriers bloating your Android with garbage is a fact (maybe not for everyone, it was for me) as well the uncertainty of when or if your phone is going to get the next update.
TLoU is a masterpiece and you are wrong
