My opinion, not my type of game even though I do like Hack/Slash.

I have to say Nordlead, I hate posts like this. It's fine to point out that there are a lot of crazy fans for a given console. It's even fine to say that one console seems to have more crazy fans then another.
But basically saying that everyone on a forum is full of it unless they dislike something, without any reference to the content of people's actual posts, does not make the forum a better place for gamers who want to really talk about games they like and dislike and not just evangelize or whatever. In fact, absurd generalizations make it worse for the nice (or at least honest) people.
Anyway, maybe I misunderstood what you were saying.

well, first off I would have said fanboy to refer to the fanatics and not just the fans, as obviously there will be sony fans who don't like the series, but the forums can't control themselves and we get all sorts of rediculous things that gets banned on these forums.
twesterm is the only person who has played at least 1 game in the series and doesn't like the game so far that I've read. This is a valid opinion worth noting, but was very quickly shot down. In fact, he is forcing himself to play it just so he can have a valid opinion according to the forums. pretty much every person who actually plays the 3rd game on this forum like it, and the people who don't like the series won't play the 3rd game. Even twesterm was playing 3 instead of 1 he'd probably be labeled a hater. This polarization seems to be in place because of how similar all the GoW games are, which is totally fine. But disliking GoW3 or MSG4 typically means you are a hater. However, it is perfectly fine to think NSMB (or Wii version) or Halo completely suck ass. Obviously not everyone is like this, but again asking if he should buy GoW3 on this forum is just stupid, I could say I hate GoW and should I buy it and people will still say yes despite my taste in gaming.
Also, the OP obviously just wanted someone to say yes, because he even labeled twesterm as a non-valid opinion and quickly said "i'm going to buy it"
again, I really never should have came in here, but I thought the thread title was rediculous for these forums.
