Don't claim Killzone 2 will be sub-par without playing it.

What's with all the persecution complex threads lately? The level of paranoia in the community is getting out of hand.

One things that views people who are part of a group is that they are collectively under attack somehow.  When the group collectively identifies with something, and that something is questioned, they take it personally and feel like they are persecuted.  People who had followed the Playstation brand awhile, do feel like they are under attack because the Wii and 360 have outsold it.

Feelings of persecution help bind a group together.  I saw this back in the Atari 8bit days, where the Atari computers got beat by the Commodore 64 and Amiga.

 

 

While I try to remain neutral as ever between everything I will admit I lean heavily towards ps3 this gen. However nah i don't feel under attack. It's how the business is going and while unfortunate, in a perfect world it would be nice to see market shares close to 33 percent for every system just so no one get monopolistic.

When I do feel under attack is when i post a thread with just a tiny tiny subtle hint of dislike for a wii someone will cherry pick that one line out of the entire thread and have a horde of nintendo fans down my neck. It's like the scour with a fine toothed comb in every thread just to find that one line and attack ignoring anything else within a thread. Then no matter how many times I have to explain I don't hate nintendo, I just don't like the wii and the direction nintendo is going at the moment, I'm still seen as the heathen within the thread.

So i get paranoid about even mentioning that system or nintendo nowadays.
