I personally think that simply not making jabs at a single fanbase for only being half-right is a better approach to a discussion. Stuff like that just perpetuates the 'us and them' nonsense that's so prevalent on gaming forums. I don't think that was your intention, but it's all comment like that ever accomplish, even when there isn't a similarly popular counter opinion on the 'other side'. Ah well, each to their own i suppose ^^


I just want to make fun, seriously. The wars are in full engage mode everywhere. Terms like "salty" "eat crow soon!", all this stuff when people are happy that others are angry. We are talking about games here and that is, in the end, something we do in our spare time to have fun.

Now it's happening that PS4 is winning and will continue to do so which makes people think they also "win" and have a certain attitude against other users who chose the "wrong" console for being also "wrong" by default, no matter what they say. Are there still good and bad users on both sides? Definitely! But we have to see that there is a certain inbalance in discussions on GAF and here.

Let's take the 1080p-threads as of late. These threads are full of people talking about 1080pr and all the stuff but almost no one from the "other" side is able to say "good for xbone. I am glad they get better resolution in the end". No, of course not. We see comments about how bad MS is, how desperate they are, how weak the hardware is and these posts are way more in a thread where most people don't even own the console where the game is going to be released. And I guess this side can easily cope with a post like mine ;)

Have you considered that maybe the reason there are so many comments about how bad MS is, is legitimately because MS is doing something bad? I mean if it wasn't for people pointing that shit out MS would have never improved and wouldn't be continuing to improve. PC, Nintendo, and Sony fans don't look at Xb1 hardcore fans as "wrong" because ps4 is winning, it's because 90% of the time they are proven wrong. Then they have a certain arrogance about them where they not only ignore that they were mistaken and try to learn from it but end up trying to twist things so that they were still somehow right, after of course demonizing those that point out their mistake. I mean if fanbases were people at this point Xbox would be donald trump. Meanwhile those in the Sony, Nintendo, and PC camps continue to be optimistic and regularly point out good things about MS. Like the fact they got rid of kinect, that was great. Their new version of backwards compatibility, fantastic. The fact that we'll be able to play any Xb1 game on a windows 10 pc. Amazing news which all camps for the most part have shown appreciation for. Meanwhile with the exception of maybe 1-2 people the Xbox camp can only ever insult, downplay, and deny. "ps4 has no games, indies aren't games they don't count" "Nintendo is doomed, they are trash kid games with no 3rd party support" "PC are over priced elitists, Xbox is made for games, steam machine is going to fail hard". There isn't an imbalance, Xbox hardcore fans bring it on themselves every single time.
