When Jay used to run the Xbox one he would keep the OP up to date some times with the deals with gold and stuff but now more often than not the OP is left alone for weeks and months in a lot of those threads, I used to just pop into the Xbox one to read what games were coming up for free on XBLgold but now just opt for a google search rather than reading through the last 20 pages of specific brand/console... I fucking hate the term completely, but circle jerking is the shortest way I could describe how I see those giant 1 brand/console threads. - Just to clarify I just mean those threads in general and not the Xbox empire in the slightest as the only one which is like that in my eyes, just that if a game is worth chatting about on your system of choice surely it should be able to stand on its own two feet in a general gaming thread and maybe advertise what is available on your system to others, surely if the game/sales are good enough you'll want to hear what your console war rivals have to say about the great stuff on your system of choice, Imo ofc, I guess there are people who would rather just interact solely with those who have shared interests with them and not hear what other parties have to say at all. I'm not going to try to tell others how to use a forum that they already use and enjoy! Sorry if my post sounded like people should change, it was more to reflect how I myself post. |
Yeah it's good when such threads are maintained well enough so you can see relevant information all in one place (I remember back in the day I'd also pop into the Xbox thread just to see what news and deals were going on). It's too bad the thread isn't being kept up with as much anymore.
I get what you're saying though. However, there do seem to be quite a few people that enjoy those threads and I say more power to them if that's the case. I'm fine with threads like that as long as people find value in them.
