Maybe if there were a ginger cow, all of this fighting would come to an end.

Celebrate the cutest bringer of end times!

Oh that's a real cow? Guess we can go back to fighting.

No, it was brought to me by an obnoxious short fat kid. (But I didn't check his penis size, so I guess more fighting' around the world!)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

God, I love you guys.

Since being on this website I have called the forums venemous, petty, and abnoxious to name a few.  Yes I have placed most of the blame on Sony fans for this as well.  Im sure that probably offends some of you guys and that is ok. However don't misunderstand me, there is venemous members from every corner and as much as I want to call you guys out for it I will be banned and this thread will be locked.  At the rate things are going it wouldnt be doubtful if i made a thread like this in the future. But for the moment you do know who I am at least referring to.  Yes Xbox fans Im talking to you as well.

So the console wars are abnoxious for starters.  It has become completely unbearable on forums when a big portion of the conversations are petty argueing over who has the best plactic box( I know youve heard this from me like 100 times) but my question is why the need to convince each other who has the better box?  I Know as you read this some people are going to prob post some shit about me in specific(Especially a user that hates meta threads or whatever the hell he wants to call them) in the comments below as I usually do know how these threads will turn out, but i really want to understand what the issue is with everybody.  

What generally seems to happen is you have a hardcore fan of Company A attacks Company B.  Then User of Company B gets annoyed and says "Two can play that game" and then attacks back.  This pops up a continuous amount of threads just to post negativity about one another.   In return it only leaves a venomous and obnoxious community.

Do you guys not realize how abnoxious you sound at times?  And what is the point of putting each other's opinions down?  Does it make you feel better about the product you bought?  

Let me ask Vita fans something now.  Do you like the Vita?  If you say yes then you should understand that things revolve around personal opinions and all the shit talking it takes wont deflect your opinion.

You see, just because you dont like something doesnt mean youre going to change someone elses mind.  They already made up their mind.  Take Anime for example.  I know a lot of you like that and as many people make fun of it you guys watch it any ways.  Let's take XBO for example now.  As much shit as it has taken on forums since its announcement (Some deserved) do you think all that shit talking changed the people's minds that you were arguing with?  They had already made their decision so why mock them for it?

What I am getting at is I believe all this stems from an eye for an eye.  You attack me and ill attack back.  So I ask you guys can we end the console wars now?  It does nothing but make you guys look abnoxios.  It is ok to enjoy your favorite products being successful or more successful than the competition.  But it is completely disrespectul mocking each others opinions and decisions in life.

Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo has all made enticing consoles both in the present and past.  This is why people argue for them, not because they are horrible consoles, but because people enjoy them.  So let them enjoy them and dont attack their opinions.  Even this attitude people have about who sells the most has the best console is wrong.  Best is determined by yourself and only you.  Otherwise you would be saying Call of Duty is the best game of the generation and i know you guys dont want to say that.


I find 3 things abnoxious with your post:

1) Your accusation of the majority of the forum members being fanboys.

2) Your (not so) subtle claim that you're somehow above all the problems you listed in this forum and therefore the very people who post in it.

3) Your demand for people to not hold civil discourse and conversations about video games, in a video game forum.

I knew you'd show up at some point xD Kind of why i referred to you in the OP lol

Any ways, you dont have to agree with me but being respectable should still be a good thing for the community.  Im not demanding at all or pointing the finger at anybody in this particular case.  I am asking that people learn to respect one another.

There really wasnt anything subtle about anything i said or any kind of words in between the lines.  Those are accusations on your part.  I was pretty straight forward about what i wanted to say.

Says the guy who calls everyone in the forum venemous, petty, and abnoxious to name a few.

 

Why don't you stop calling people names and just talk about video games? You're being just as bad as the supposed fanboys you're talking about by taking the topic of video games and making it about people. Why not stop making these threads that are clearly about yourself and people you don't like?

Why not just take all that time and energy to write a thought provoking and interesting thread about video games?

Did i call everybody this? Nope i did not.  if you fall under this group then you know who you are. The ones who dont will also know who they are.

I have actually.  XBO Nation, NintenDomination, PS Nation were made because of me as well as An Unbiased Review, countless gaming pieces as well was because of me.  You dont have to admit to it but I have contributed to this site a lot.    Hell you can scurry on over to my predictions Sony game thread right now.  Or the anticipation Sony thread last night i made.  Maybe even the Will Killzone shadowfall be the best shooter of the year thread a day or two ago.  I'd hardly say those arent game related that causes gaming conversations.  In fact you commented in one or two of those threads from my understanding.  You can even look at my sig for stuff i write.

And what have you contributed to this site exactly Akvod?




       

I agree, the forums have turned very better. I say for the most part it has been one sided. I used to just read the forums (but not participate), it used to be instightful and funny. The glory days before the xb1 reveal. Since then it's been over the top, sensationalized claims.

Just being vague about it brings up so many historical examples.

 

XBO Nation, NintenDomination, PS Nation were made because of me as well as An Unbiased Review, countless gaming pieces as well was because of me.  You dont have to admit to it but I have contributed to this site a lot. 

So you've made threads segregating people based on consoles, and made a thread with the premise that others are biased and that you are unbiased. Well done, you've really created a positive attitude in this forum.
