| Slimebeast said: The most effective way to bash a console is to pretend that you like it, but then sneak in a negative tone, language and arguments. That way you lure the reader into thinking you are presenting valid arguments. Also, it makes it harder for chritics to just dismiss you as a fanboy. So lets examine this post, the methods of trying to create a negative aura around a game coming to the X360: The thread title, very negative: "Gears of War: Details and disappointments" This line makes it sound like the graphics quality of the game remains an enigma: "The moral of the story is that we wait and watch till E3 2008 when CliffyB will showcase a brand new gameplay trailer with a much updated engine, but until then, we can wonder…" He is trying to steer the following discussion into questioning the game's GOTY status: "YOUr thoughts.....will GEOW 2 NOT take away the GOTY 08 awards anymore?" And in the same sub-forum he has a thread with this blatant title (the main competitor to GoW2): "MGS4 = Gone Gold Ceremony! [MUST READ] --- GOTY 08 NO DOUBTS!!!" |
you use the word fanboy way too much. it just makes you sound like a hypocrite.
