Faboys, in my humble opinion, are only second to the overwhelming emphasis on graphics over gameplay.

-Complete loss of the use for reviews
-Incredible hype for mediocre games
-Past franschises, run into the ground
-Gaming pidgeonholed into only 3 or 4 genres (FPS/Action/mini-game/sports)
-Graphics taking reign over EVERYTHING
-More Attempts to nickel & dime customers (DRM,DLC, increased prices, overpriced accessories, PS Home)

I voted for graphics whoring, but I'm also not liking the hateboyism but I wasn't big into the gaming community before this gen so maybe it's always been there.

Something a little more complex I'm not liking is the abandonment of "realism". Now I don't mean realism as in realism in the terms of the laws of nature of our existence, but each game sets it's own laws of nature which define it's realism. When a game seems to set that realism, and then contradict it, it throws me off, and completely removes immersion for me. Best known example, Uncharted 2. So much in the game defies it's own definition of realism (especially since in large degrees it attempt to mirror our own reality) that I couldn't enjoy the game. I know I'm very alone in this thought/idea, especially in regards to Uncharted 2, but it really bothers me when I encounter this.

I can't remember the other games this happened for me with, but it's completely new this gen, it's never happened before.

Reasonable on 19 March 2010

I put fanboys - but my actual choice would be timed exclusives and timed DLC - I think it stinks for the gamers whether MS do it or Sony do it to feel they have to wait for the sake of some global companies insane belief this makes their platform 'better'. Also I think it's actually hurt some games and content in demand as well which also doesn't help the industry as a whole either.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
