Yeah, okay, fanboys aren't real, everyone is a rational adult. I guess I forgot. Seriously, you're telling me you never see fanboy posts? Honestly? If you say so. While there is no way in hell I'm going to go looking for examples, I do remember this post from a few days ago. I'm not going to name names, obviously, but here is a quote--"One of the most amusing things to me in regards to videogames is to go on a fieldtrip with 2nd graders. They will often discuss videogames , and when they do what do they talk about? Call of Duty, Halo, God of War and Grand Theft Auto, etc. The "mature" hardcore share their gaming tastes with 8 year old boys, who think the blood and gore of God of War is extremely awesome." As far as the graphics thing goes, if you're telling me that you haven't seen fanboys who try to convince us that the continual improvement of graphics is a bad thing, then I simply do not believe you. Regardless, this has seriously gone off-topic and I'm going to leave this line of discussion alone. |
The COD/Halo/GTA bashing I've seen hasn't been attacking the fact that they have M-rated content per se, but more attacking the attitude that this somehow makes them better than E-rated games, attacking people's motives for preferring it, or saying they rely too much on violence or sexual content, which is not quite the same as saying "all mature games automatically suck!"
Likewise, while I've seen plenty of people complain that devs focus too much on graphics to the detriment of other elements of the game, I don't think I've ever seen somone say, "Gee, I wish the Wii U wasn't more powerful than the Wii. The PS4 sucks because it's more powerful than the PS3."
