Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Forums Dying?

All 10 Xbox fans on the site are posting in Leo-j threads or darth threads, they know how to make a intresting thread.

Its funny... I used to like this forum the most since it wasn't really a forum about information, or news or technology updates. VGchartz forums are more like a big familly bickering around the dinner table...

Lately though I find that I really am not enjoying this approach as much as before. I find it frustrating at how repetitive the arguments are getting. I rarely make threads here for this reason. I spend a lot more time on AVS forums, Nvidia forums, AMD forums...etc

Since the 3.0, the Microsoft forum has become very low on these bickering threads and it has become a lot more fact and information based. I actually like it more now... I really dont mind that LeoJ and darth are dragging all the hype/rumor/Greenbergs tweets traffic to the sony forum and leaving the xbox forum to concrete threads.



It's always been pretty slow. The hot topic bar has also made me post a lot less/not recognize whats going on half the time.



It's just that simple.

It's been odd.

I noticed it.

But then again the Sony forums for example is full of absolute trash and bum licking.

You must have all seen the We love KEn Kutaragi thread. I mean seriously. It's like us making a thread saying we love the guy who would bring Xbox down. 

I have really liked the fact that M$ section has stuck to news and it's games recently. A much more mature forum.

Even the OFficial Enslaved thread I made had next to no love here. Even though the hands on called it Gears textures, Uncharted animation and Jak and Daxter gameplay. They said it was phenominal. Matching Naughty Dog's masterpiece both in visuals and gameplay from what they saw. And they played it on 360.

But Sony fans have gone from last gen loving the 3rd party games to hating them. Hence no activity. 

No praise for Vanquish visuals or Enslaved. And they hate on Crysis 2 visuals because it nullifies the need for PS3 Cell. It's all a bit washed up on the forums on VGC lately. If it aint a PS3 exclusive it doesnt get posts.



So only Microsoft owners dont get version 3? I dont get that... I mean you gotta be happy with amount of green in the forums now.

It's because of the new site layout and lack of hot topic bar but wait for a few days when natal is revealed to the world with a release date =).

Didn't the PS3 gang ganged up against the last Xbox 360 lovers here on this site and beat them to dead? I heard that from someone.... :(

I blame it partly on a quiet newsweek, but mostly on 3.0.  This was one of the more quiet parts of the forum, and given how much quieter the forums as a whole have become since 3.0, this area is now pretty dead.

I mean, just look at the Sony section.  Under 2.0, threads dedicated to stuff like the MotorStorm 3 announcement wouldn't be struggling to reach a single page.

Battles between groups don't take place in system specific forums, but the general game area.   And basic rules of manners say that.  And E3 watching is likely taking place also.  I am also wondering calling this "Microsoft" rather than "XBox" would have something to do with it also.  Microsoft hints at PC gaming.



there is just nothing interesting going on in the microsoft camp....its really disappointing me at the moment....along with the B:BC2 lag (but we can save that for another time)



  Kinect! who needs video games!

I'm still getting used to 3.0, already I miss the 2.0 layout ;(
