Here's what I'm seriously upset about.
Fanboys who put their favourite company on top of the games themselves. I mean, I don't give a pissing toss about MS or Sony. I would not sink as a low as to celebrate legendary franchises or even common ones losing appeal or going down in quality just because it makes my company look better. Cheerleader for a brand that barely develops any games. Nice going. I would not sink as low as to cheer for the brand's stock going up etheir. We know what high stocks brought to gaming. More copy-paste safe bets like the annual COD. Halo is just like that. Why bs ourselves Halo is another COD. Where's the innovation or the variety ? MS fans have become worse than what we used to mock Nintendo fans for ! Blindly follow the same game again and again. At least Nintendo created Zelda and Mario from scratch. MS just took the idea of Rare's Golden Eye. A simplified fps for the console.
Abbath The Banned was right "I am actually happy, happy for Xbox fans. If those games didn't go multi, what else would they play?"
He's an ass but he is telling the truth. Seriously what would they play ? What would all these xbots play who made a habbit out of always getting behind decisions that bring NOTHING positive to gaming itself. High stocks. The brillant concept of timed exclusives. Charging you to access EA's servers to play Battlefield online. There will be a zealot everytime to defend these. I don't have a beef with MS, really, they made mistakes, they can do better. It's their zealots i can't stand.
The Xbox lost everything that made it unique at the beginning of this generation and still it has loyal brown nosers just because the stock didn't go down. Screw games themselves right ? Unique ideas or anything bold at all. Let COD and its clones guide the gaming industry. This thread is a testament to how low xbots fell. PS2 supported so many unique franchises. Xbox inherited them and what happened ? How many of them produced more sequels thanks to the Xbox sales ? Xbox 360 is where ideas went to drown while the devs jumped ship. Useless games like the blue dragon being talked about, praised and paraded again and again only because they had the MS brand. Did the game live up to the designing skills of Dragon Quest's Akira Toriyama or FF's Hironobu Sakaguchi ? Hell no. Sony's fanboys' equivalents ? Sure, PS all stars comes to mind. Still, xbots are even more deaf and blind: They get behind all and any kind of anti gamer desision to stand up for their brand. Please tell me how it feels having every bit of dignity fade away every time you support another timed exclusive desision. You know who I'm talking to. Gee, if timed exclusives which utlimately means losing the consumer's trust is good news for MS, then by all means be a good doggie.
Xbots will defend to the death lack of exclusives despite MS profits, they will defend always online, they will defend the mockery of the timed exclusive , they will defend tech failures, they will defend live subscriptions which is MS charging its users in order to access another company's servers.
THEY WILL DEFEND GAMING GETTING SCREWED EVERY TIME FOR THE SHAKE OF M$.
I am not gonna defend all the equaly annoying and blind sony or nintendo fanboys but most Xbots have made it a habbit out of making ridiculous rationalizations that are against gaming itself as long as they make MS look good. Again, I don't care about MS, they can do better. But little petty Xbots let me down.
While you are banning me consider the trade off. How much have I or Abbath contributed to this forum compared to this laughing stock of an xbot.
