Fanboyism

eh? I was impressed with the 360 conference. The thread was to talk about the things Sony could do to out do Microsoft. How is that being a blatant fanboy? :confused:

IMO, a better title would have been "What can we expect to see from Sony?"

That way, there's less chance of comparing it to MS conference.

I'd go as far as to say that threads (titles) that are deliberately worded in such a way to provoke or antagonise either "camp" should be outlawed too. Like, for example, "What can Sony possibly do to top Microsoft now?", etc

Closet fanboys are more annoying than the blatently obvious ones.

I think the "Exclusive" stuff in titles as well. Maybe it is meant informatively, but usually just riles up people with the opposing platform.

Name and Shame them or give them custom titles :) Most people here know who they are anyway. (Maybe I am one, I am sure some would say). It will die down after this E3 week I think, as most of the games announced ain't out for ages yet anyway :)

I think Fanboys should exist on the forums infact I think we don't have enough fanboy comments on the forums

Your all just jealous of fanboys because they love their consoles more than you do and their consoles love them more than your consoles love you.

You're all just fanboy haters because deep down you know fanboys are better at computer games, smarter and have more luck with the ladies (although any true fanboy will tell you luck has nothing to do with it)

Also fanboys win all arguments ever.

Fanboys rule and everyone that has anything against them are just too stupid to understand computer games at all and should be banned from these forums just for being ignorant.
 
There was 1 guy in particular, who is quite a veteran poster on here who really suprised me during and after E3. I never realised he was that bad, but now I don't think i'll beable to unsee what i saw :D
 
To be fair, it seems OK on here..

6 of one, half a dozen of the other..

It's only a minority though, and compared to somewhere like the 'gaf, it's a relatively nice place to frequent..

Thats what I think most the time to be fair, if you look around at some other places, For instance YOUTUBE comments. There are a lot worse people than on here :D

Also, I had a look through the E3 thread, and I may have been overly harsh about the person I was thinking of. So I'll just pretend I never thought he was fan boy scum

I think this sort of thing is always going to be a little worse around E3 time. Before it though, i thought the forum had been far better for quite a long time.

Lol, I'm certainly a fan of the 360 and do sometimes get a little defensive with posts about it having no future/no exclusives/etc. but I also think a lot of Sony and game on a 40" Sony LCD and my daughter is currently watching Tinkerbell Blu-ray on my BDP-350. I dislike the Wii and sold mine a while despite the fact Super Mario Galaxy is one of my games of the generation.

My summary from the who won E3 thread was

As I've said elsewhere I thought both MS and Sony had very good conferences. Neither had earth shattering game announcements and the exclusives kind of balanced each other out. It's good to be the owner of either/both platforms.

Sony fanboys seem to forget Alan Wake, Forza 3, ME2, Crackdown 2 and 360 fanboys easily dismiss GoW3, MAG and Mod Racers. Each did enough to satiate it's fans and we're in for a good couple of years.

I actually don't think the fanboyism was too bad this year and there were no infringements or mod interventions to my knowledge. Though I do think many people were too eager to pronounce a winner to fit their agenda at the first available opportunity.
