Let me start off by saying that the PlayStation 3 IS THE BEST SYSTEM EVER AND DESTROYS THE 360 WITH LARGE STICKS!!!
No wait.
THE XBOX 360 IS THE DEFINITIVE CONSOLE OF THE GENERATION AND MAKES PLAYSTATION 3 OWNERS WEEP WITH THE SLIGHTEST THOUGHT OF ITS AWESOMENESS!!!!!
No, that’s not what I wanted to say either. What was I thinking? Oh right. What I’m driving at is that IT DOESN’T MATTER!! PEOPLE SHOULD JUST GET OVER THIS WHOLE STUPID ARGUMENT, PLAY THE GREAT GAMES THAT BOTH SYSTEMS OFFER AND STOP ACTING LIKE SCHMUCKS!!!!!
Seriously people. We gotta knock this lame shit off. Think I’m an asshole? Fine. Think I should shut my mouth? Fair enough. It’s a free country. Think I might be onto something? Click the link and see where I go with this.
There are fanboys and then there is this guy. I can see painting an entire room a color of a sports team, but Xbox 360? If this man can bring back some girls to his house and show them this room and they don’t laugh in his face or run out screaming, he has to marry them on the spot.
The great debate of Game of the Year rages on, does Fable II deserve the honor? Kevin thinks not, Adam is a fanboy apparently. Fallout 3 gets edged out by Fable II according to Adam because it had a very fresh combat system, but it really just focused on mashing on three buttons?!
Kevin asks one very interesting question “How does a game win Game of the year, but win in no other category?”
I am thinking that Kevin won this round and Fable II does not deserve GoTY. The points that are made about money are all correct and the truth is that the monetary system in Fable really was pointless once you owned a few buildings.
What do you think, did Kevin or Adam win this debate?
There is a lot of “fanboy” hate in the gaming community and I really don’t understand why. What’s wrong with a “fanboy,” and why do people hate them so much? It’s really interesting if you think about other companies outside of the gaming world; they too have what the gaming community conceives as “fanboys.”
There are “fanboys” for every system out there. From the original Nintendo, Sega, and Playstation, to PC gaming, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, and Wii; they all have groups of “fanboys.” There are people out there who love their Wii, they wouldn’t give it up for anything, and these Wii “fanboy’s” will bash anyone who claims the Wii is useless and utterly dismal. The same is true of any system in the market today. Is this a bad thing? No, I don’t believe so. Unless, however, one’s love for a certain system makes them bash other systems irrationally; and this happens all too often. I hate when an excuse to disprove somebody’s idea is simply, “well they are a ‘fanboy’.” It’s such an invalid argument it enrages me; so maybe there should be “fanboy” hate.
Looks like there has been a recent uproar at the news site N4G (News 4 Gamers) that is angering many Xbox 360 users, specifically those who purchased Gears of War 2. Users on the aggregator site have taken it upon themselves to write fake stories that actually contain the ending to the Gears sequel. Many are speculating that this is the work of some PS3 fanboys, but I more believe that it is just the work of some jerkoffs that have nothing better to do than ruins people’s fun. Not only have fake stories been written and posted up with the plot spoiler, but the users have gone even as far as messaging users with the info. So bottom line is if you want to experience Gears of War 2 without the plot being spoiled, you may want to steer away form the web for a little bit.
Metacritic is a website that compiles reviews, both user and press for anything tech related. The gamut spans games, movies, and tv. To get press access, you must have a library of published reviews, which Loot Ninja is on the brink of obtaining access. So where is the ruckus?
Little Big Planet, probably the most anticipated game on the PS3 ever, more so than MGS4, has not hit the streets yet due to the recall. Xbox 360 fanboys managed to get the user review to below 6. Having no one played this game outside of press, this is obvious an attempt to skew the score lower. Editors at Metacritic are trying to block such occurrences from happening. The PS3 fanboys struck back in full force giving Gears of War 2 a hefty 4.1.
This is funny and sad at the same time. The reviews mean nothing. Mostly because the game is not even out yet and pardon my ignorance, I don’t think a 13 year old kid has the wherewithal to review anything unless they are a very gifted individual. Anyone who has to resort to guerrilla “reviewing” is probably not that sort. Metacritic claims they are doing everything to put an end to such bullshit and are exploring all options. Here is a crazy idea… block any user review before a game hits its release date and anyone who submits an obvious early review is banned. Doesn’t seem like the problem is that hard to solve.
If you are a fan of Soul Calibur then you were probably happy to hear that Darth Vader and everyone’s favorite green muppet were coming to your game. Of course they were console specific, so if you purchased a 360 or a PS3 you received one of the characters. Well now you can purchase the other so you can have the ultimate Star Wars fanboy battle on your couch, sounds good right? It is until you hear the price:
Namco Bandai has revealed that Darth Vader and Yoda will be available as downloadbale content this Thursday for 400 MS Points. We’re still waiting on a confirmation of a Euro price for PSN, but it’ll cost our American bed-fellows $4.99.
This is absurd! Five bucks for a character? One that isn’t even supposed to be in the Soul Calibur universe!
If this is the case and the folks at Namco get away with this kind of price gauging tactics it could spell trouble for gamers moving forward. What if Capcom decided that you could only use Ryu and Ken when you started Street Fighter 4 and had to pay for the rest of characters or even better still, could pay ten dollars to play as Mighty Mouse.
DLC is great when it makes sence and the price structure isn’t aimed at abusing the gamer you are selling to. How can you justify a five-dollar price tag for some code for one character, in all actuality the characters were known before the game even launched so they had time to put them on the discs already and just have a code to unlock them. Free would have been a lot better!
That’s right, folks. Fanboys are official, according to Merriam-Webster. It’s already in the Oxford English Dictionary too.
Glad to know that the people who makes words official realize that fanboyism has become such a problem that the word needs to be officially recognized.
