Seriously besides Selnor, when's the last time a 360 fan has posted a Forza 3 related thread. Every time I open a Forza thread as of late. It's started by a PS3 fan. Followed by the same half dozen or so PS3 fans saying the same thing. It's really gotten old. There are too many games that have just come out or that are coming out on each platform for this amount of pointless rehashing to occur. |
I'm not throwing in my $0.02 here, bro. I'm just saying it's bad form of debating to say he's "trolling" just because he doesn't agree with you. It's not like he's doing this just to rile you up on purpose. He's trying to state a point.
But if you want to hear my opinion, then frankly, I can't say I've seen much of GT5 hate from Forza fans besides waron, and then there's a number of others in the "GT5 vs. Forza 3 metacritic" thread (forgot the exact title). selnor didn't bash GT5, but he did set unrealistic expectations for Forza 3. At the same time, I haven't dug through every thread regarding this issue.
Now, what I've seen outside of vgchartz, though, is a different story. Both GT fans and Forza fans are fighting non-stop, with neither side being the angels.
The nexus of this hysteria is Turn 10's bragging of their game. Now for me, even though I'm a huge GT fan, it doesn't bother me in the least, because I'm fully aware this is just a business ploy. Of course, it's quite dirty, when you look at how the likes of Lionhead, Infinity Ward, Naughty Dog, Bungie, etc. speak of their competition, but I'm sure they, deep inside, don't hold any hatred towards their rivals (hell, if he's not lying, Greenawalt said Yamauchi-san was an inspiration for him to join this business, as he likes PD's games). Now unfortunately, not many people can bother to look at it from a business perspective, so it's bound to spark the fuse to the powder keg.
