Because I Criticise Microsoft and Nintendo for various (fair) reasons, but rarely complain about Sony, that makes me a fanboy...correct? IT couldn't possibly be that I actually assess all three from an unbiased perspective and simply find Sony to be the lesser of three evils, no, that's not possible. I have a favorite with good reason, so I'm incapable of seeing flaw in it.... Makes perfect sense. Except, you know, I complain about a lot of Sony's shit. I was there with everyone else when Backwards Compatibility was taken away and still loathe that decision. I hate that Vita has super expensive memory cards. I hate a lot of fuckups they've had with the PSP...but none of that compares to the awesomeness I get with Sony. Free online play, cross system compatibility with Steam and PSP (depending on games), the ability to play PS1 classics on a PSP, easily swappable hard drives...and blu Ray. my god, Blu ray is a big deal. When comparing the three companies, Microsoft and Nintendo tend to piss me off more with their decisions that effect me, but Sony does plenty to make up for it, most of the time. I'm so sick of people assuming that having a favorite makes you a fanboy. LEarn the difference. and yes you've implied heavily that my 'allegience' is with sony, citing some bad mistakes in the past I've made (most notably the stupid arguments about Uncharted 3 scores, whereas I'd give it a low 8 or a high 7 now). We all make mistakes, I admit mine. |
Oh quit acting like I'm persecuting you. THis is supposed to be a frank and open discussion about how perspective is influenced by allegiance, and vice versa, particularly in how the perceived allegiance of a person is dictated by the perspective that they present.
This isn't about how you see the companies, it's about how you see the gamers around you. I don't give a shit if you like Sony best! I don't imply anything about that. What I'm suggesting is that the fact that you like Sony best means you sympathize more with other people who also like Sony best, which lets you glaze over some of the utterly ludicrous things they do and say. That's not good, but it's not inherently bad. You just have to be kind of aware of this stuff! Because it does happen. It happens to everyone.
And anyone who thinks they have an "unbiased" perspective is lying to themselves.
