so you are making a forum post to tell people of your opinion that making forums posts to express opinions is stupid.   did i get that right?

do you understand that people enjoy expressing their opinions?  would you like me to link you to a dictionary definition of the word passion or maybe hobby? 

It is one thing to end up enjoying and having a passion for something.  It is another to make oneself a partisan who shills and spins in favor of a given console, and engage in a war for the minds of people.  Stuff like, "Playstation is a religion" and also the "B_E_L_I_E_V_E" sig people were running awhile ago. 

Guys who go online and post stuff like this on the Youtube:

 

And this:

 

Shill and do stuff like this.  They look a lot like this, but don't get paid (Sony hired an ad company to do this):

 

 

Those are just sad people.

This forum isn't that bad at all.

Trust  me, i came from GameSpot's System Wars.

SHOOT!  You mean you can actually turn partisan fanboy console shilling into something you can put on your resume and get a job?  Wow, I stand SO corrected.  So, anyone doing this SHOULD demand that they get compensated.  At least get a t-shirt or something for it.  To think I have tried to shill Game Room for Microsoft and they don't even return phone calls.  Wow, I am doing it SO wrong.

Gee, I remember on Usenet, seeing some random post asking about the game Paramount put out based on their Wargames movie franchise.  It struck as so weird actually.



Sorry, but your post won't acomplish anything because people still take pride in being Nintendo's lapdog and Sony still pays people for being fanboys

Wait, why can't people do it for Sony's side out of pride like the Nintendo lapdogs, and have to be due to pride?  Or at least they get assimilated into the Microsoft Borg and become XBots?  Why is it money with $ony?



People are gonna jump on you for this but I couldn't agree more.

I'm sick of the blatent bias in so many posters on here.  Sure everyone is going to have favorite games and consoles and thats fine and they should be allowed to express that.

But the amount of relentless bashing and tearing down of other sytems and game franchises just because you don't like them is getting old.  I'm tired of going into a pro-360 thread and constantly seeing people post about Uncharted, Killzone, and God of War.  Same thing with going into a Killzone thread and seeing Halo brought up instantly.

Dude, we're getting into confidential information right now that I have very little liberty to discuss. I fanboy up on n4g and Sony gives me a cut of the dough, that's the deal. I'm curious though to see psrock's rates because knowing some of the shit he pulls I'd say he lives a far more comfortable life than I (if you know what I'm sayin').

I mean who the fuck would stand behind Sony if they weren't getting payed to do so? Only a fool.

I have seen Gran Turismo 5 dragged in the mud regarding graphics, because somehow it got made into ammo in the console war.  As far as I am concerned Gran Turismo is NOT about the graphics, it is about simulating the driving experience.  But, it gets elevated as some sort of pinacle in graphics "more real than real" and other stuff.  Even Modern Warfare 2 became an ammo piece on how AWESOME the graphics are.  And it isn't about that.  It is about add RPG elements, accessibility and running fast.  As far as I am concerned, the Call of Duty series looks good enough.  

Another chuckle I am getting here is how people go on about graphics in regards to consoles.  Really?  What happened to good enough and caring about everything?  Consoles are powerful enough to look good, even years from now, as far as games go.  But we got to worry about THE BEST OF THE BEST, when they won't top the latest PC?  How about Uncharted being discussed for solid gameplay, and also good acting for a game, and an interesting enough story?  Nope, have to go with graphics, because the other stuff is too deep to see and score points with in a console fanboy war.

This generation, I see comparison after comparsion between multiconsole titles, between the PS3 and 360, and see such subtle differences I seriously doubt I would tell them when playing.  One has sharper colors, while the other one has more detailed shadows.  And it goes on.  It is all in a battle that doesn't matter, that the companies benefit from (I guess) and no one who does them really gets anything out of, except a boost to one's ego.

And my biases?  I am more pro-360 than anything else, but some of my favorite games this generation are PS3 exclusives.



How can I not support Microsoft and the console I love so much?

Xbox 4-life.

Oh my.  I have concerns now that Sony will be employing some partisan console ninjas and infiltrating Anonymous, if what you are saying is true.  Heck, these ninjas may of taking out the PSN, in order to make Anonymous look bad.  Never thought I would see Ninjas wearing Guy Fawkes masks, but I guess eventually everything does come to pass.
