Part is this is truth, part of this is false I'm pro Sony, always been a fan, as a fan I do keep them to a higher standard however and they aren't the company they once were. That aside PS1 is my favorite console from them with PS3 being the runner up simply because of how much work they put into 2008-2010 years. However their PR hasn't improved at all and they are still trying to figure out why they fell from grace, when what made them popular with people like me were their openess of their platforms, open for mods and such, then they made new ideas with high quality, when you bought Sony back in the 90s you knew you were getting the best. My first consoles were the Atari 2600 and an NES, then SNES, then Genesis (plus Sega CD), then a GameBoy, then Atari Jaguar, then Nintendo 64, then GameBoy color, then a PS1... so PS1 was my 9th console, but still had some of my favorite games of the era like FFVII, all the Spyros, and Ape Escape (still play it on my PSP) Again I'm not that worried about what people think of me, I try to spread the truth out there, but I'm not going to force it down your throat. The mods that were here when I joined (outside of the couple that were purposely put into place because they were fans of select camps) did an amazing job modding, they used common sense, and wouldn't take the BS of people going into threads to repeatedly give a negative opinion or derail threads from their original discussion (no "I'm just giving my opinion man" cause there really is no reason to repeat it over and over), I followed that model, and got the same reaction from the same type of posters that they did, the difference being back then they were pretty much free to permaban anyone that didn't change quickly, very big "wars" on select notorious members back then that would make so many alts just to troll, but guess what the community flourished during this period, even while small the forums were far more active than they are today with more members, those are massive issues, and all I gotta say they had to be doing something right back then Anyway, that's my rant, I'm done |
WOW!! i just got ranted on by a legend. that's awesome i think?
well i don't know you much as a mod, and my (rainbowyoshi) post was in the wrong thread, but for some strange reason i found you pretty reasonable, just by your post history.
i guess the last paragraph is why i got permabannd back in 2008, along side giving that particular mod a peace of my mind. in short, i agree with your thoughts on Sonys marketing. it's broken, and in need of change.
