I would like to explain the reason for the new thread. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6584546
I agree with viper1 on this case and I feel my thread didn't have "class". So I'm going to rectify the thread so we can have something to debate over in a more peaceful manner.
So I'm going to rectify what the article said:
Fanboys And Their Insufferable Double Standards
"It’s the aftermath of the whole Rise of the Tomb Raider circus, which I covered extensively in an opinion piece yesterday. If reading is hard or you already hate my opinion because it’s about fanboys, then my summarised version would be that your anger should be directed at Square Enix and not Microsoft, because the latter is simply doing what it has done for years as a primary strategy. Be upset instead with Square Enix for having to ‘resort’ to making Tomb Raider, of all games in the entire world, guaranteed to sell millions, a timed exclusive simply because they need money after all their successful failures as of late. Anyway, it’s a new day and a new topic, and if you want to engage in that one feel free to hit up my full opinion and discuss. Today I have a bone to pick with fanboys, fiends spawned from the good-hearted console fans out there, and it saddens me because as a console owner myself it’s upsetting to be part of a toxic group. Enough, however, is most certainly enough.
Obviously I am not referring to all fans. But one can’t deny there is a rather large camp who are cancerous, and I will no longer resort to the cop-out of “every platform has its assholes and fanboys”, because with fans it seems to be worse. First I want to address the insufferable mentality carried by these fanboys, and that is this massive black and white problem they seem to have. It goes like this. Microsoft used to be bad, and did some ludicrous and stupid things with their Xbox One under different leadership, and had to be put down like a wild dog. However, while that was all good, the problem now is that because they were once bad, everything they do and everything they ever will do is bad too. It’s such a basic, primitive bias. You don’t like someone, therefore you will never agree with them or ever entertain a thought they have even when they’re right.
Learn to take emotion out of it, or rather get the fuck over it. If we subscribed to that attitude then we should all still hate Sony for their first few bullshit years of the PS3. I would know, I bought a PS3 at launch. It only became an orgasmic machine after two or three years. But Sony did everything possible to make up for their abysmal start to the PS3, and rightfully deserved every bit of praise come the end. Now, Microsoft is really trying to make up for their failures, Phil Spencer is actually a decent and likable guy (not like that mad fucker Don Mattrick) and they have been focusing on games to the point that they have even implicitly conceded Kinect is a waste of time. Sure, Microsoft were once hatable, but that doesn’t mean you need to vilify them for the rest of the goddamn console generation. Let me give you the cold truth. Sony is not infallible. I love them, but they pull unlikable crap too. PS Now anybody? So do not make heroes out of companies. Do not worship them. They can make mistakes too.
That is just the beginning of the bias console fanboys have. I’m going to paint another truth, and it was something angrily highlighted by another writer on this site. Referring to Rise of the Tomb Raider specifically, had Sony come out and announced that it had got a timed exclusive deal I guarantee you, without one shred of doubt, that the large majority would have been praising Sony and their genius. I initially thought that this was because there are far more PS4 owners out there right now, but it’s something more. It really isn’t a vocal minority anymore. Amid the petitions, the constant hate speech directed at Microsoft, the level of insecurity that console fans the moment you criticise anything console related – it’s on another level to the Xbox One camp. I’ve written pieces criticising both Microsoft and Sony, but by far the latter receives harsher feedback. More than that, what is most damning is that if you just read people’s comments, they still have the same opinions about Microsoft they’ve had back at the time of the nasty DRM saga. It’s nothing more than a close-minded bias.
The double standard is blatant and goes like this. Anything Sony does, praise it. Anything bad they do, defend it, justify it or sweep it away. But anything Microsoft does, scrutinise it, and anything bad they do, vilify them further. I’m a console fan and honest to God it’s making me sick. Where’s the objectivity? Where’s the fairness? Where’s the moment where something like PS Now can just be criticised for being bad value without implying some kind of satanic betrayal to the Console God? Where’s the acknowledgement of any of the good Microsoft has done, without choking on your own air pockets? It was alright to be totally against Microsoft and the Xbox One when they had those DRM practices going on. But that’s in the past. It’s alright to still be cautious about them, as you should be with any corporate company designed to put itself and its profits first, but to still vilify them proves a baseless bias.
Here’s another thought experiment. If Silent Hills turns out to be consolea exclusive, which is looking likely since it’s suggested that it’s being published by Sony Computer Entertainment, you can bet your happy meal chicken ass that the console fanboys will be throwing it in the faces of all Xbox One owners and making a big fuss with some “keep your shitty Tomb Raider” comments in for good measure. How hypocritical is that? It’s ridiculous actually. I am convinced that most of the outrage isn’t actually by legitimate Tomb Raider fans, who I genuinely feel sorry for since they’re getting shafted because of Square Enix’s failures. It’s just by Sony fanboys who are angered that the Xbox One is getting something. Sure we can feel sorry for the PC gamers out there too, because they didn’t do anything either. On that note, I implore you to cease having this immense bias towards Microsoft and allow the console generation to flourish. There are so many games out there that unless you’re a die-hard Tomb Raider fan, you really won’t die without Rise of the Tomb Raider, just like Xbox One fans won’t die without Silent Hills. You can want it, but don’t become a brat because you’re not getting it.
That, in not quite a nutshell, is the situation with fanboys and their insufferable double standards.
I decided to change the "Sony fanboy" for "Console fanboy" so that we don't talk exclusively about Sony fans.
I apologize for my other thread and I hope healthy debate can flourish.
