Forums - Gaming - Should I reeducate my older brother?

Just leave him, I dont like taking these videogame discussions to real life xD, I have a friend who is like a real life nintendo fanboy and its embarrasing when he starts talking infront of normal people.

Just tell him games he would enjoy on his ps3 and avoid console war stuff, for example I had a friend that played Dantes Inferno and I told him to try GOW3, and he enjoyed it more, thats more like the good videogame conversations I like to have in real life, added to the ones in which we talk about games we both enjoy.

My brother(technically half-brother) grew up with his mother, and he wasn't an active part of my life until about 2 years ago.  Now he's over at my place about once or twice a month.  As we were brought up in two completely homes, you can imagine that our gaming experiences are very different.  For instance; he had a PS1 and N64 as I had a N64 and, he had a DC, PS2 and GC while I had a DC and GC.  If you're seeing a trend, you can see that he's a fan of Playstation.

No the trend is that you're not a fan of Playstation and he's a fan of all gaming consoles lol.  Your sig even supports my statement lol.  Observation fail lol

let him join this site... we will teach him! *shakes fist*


Yeah.. I don't see that happening.


You can be Smoked, he can be Sizzled!

Or, you can stay Hostage and he can be Roethlisberger.

Too soon?

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Fine.. he just seemed to make it a priority to get a PS3.  He was over today and he was talking abouthow  he was excited for Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

He just seems to think the PS3 is the best machine out there and it's odd.  Still, we're able to enjoy Goldeneye and I introduced him to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and actually said "the button layout is fly."  This is coming from my brother whose been playing Street Fighter and King of Fighters for quite some time.

Maybe he's not a PS3 fanboy but he always makes it a point to denounce the 360 whenever there's a 360/PS3 conparsion.

I just don't know, this is so odd having a family member who likes Playstation.



Pixel Art can be fun.

well he didn't make an right or wrong mistake its not like the 360 had all the fighting games and the ps3 didn't have any.

Direct him to your sig. That will set him straight.

How could someone be disappointed with NFS Most Wanted ?

It's just not possible.

Doesn't sound odd to me, he grew up with a variety of consoles and he clearly enjoyed gaming on his playstation's the most. He probably has strong experiences and good memories associated with the brand and the entertainment it offers, and thus he naturally steers towards it. Many people this gen bought their console off of brand alone.

Besides, the PS3 is the best machine out there.  ;)
