Nah!



Neogaf's hate for this site seems to come from a fight with ioi and then attacking his statistics. Seems to have filtered down through the members there. Where citing vgchartz is now a bannable offence.

For this site I think a lot of the hate towards neogaf has simply come from people who like this site and understand that although it isn't 100% accurate yet that it is constantly trying to improve and be a useful resource. Thus find the outright hatred from neogaf to be unfair.

Personally I like both sites and they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Vgchartz is a good indicator for early sales and a good database. The forums are generally more positive if at times a little more hot tempered. There aren't many original leaks, some users are less informed etc. However it has quite a good friendly community side and mods do a good job.

Neogaf has good leaks, some very good inside posters and in general very good moderating. The general user there seems a bit more clued in on the state of things. However the site is often either so negative it is toxic or gets ridiculously over-hyped about the wrong thing (for example with Soul sacrifice there was some really cool looking gameplay shown, yet 99% of users just ignored it and talked about how great the concept art was and how they hoped the game looked like that....we could already see the game).

They are also often comically stuck in the traditional gamer ways of motion controls don't count, casual games don't count etc etc. The mods there sometimes also totally mess up. Stealth trolls will be allowed to post forever but people who are always looking on the bright side will be banned.

I stopped looking at any threads on GAF related to the Wii U because they all seemed to devolve into saying Nintendo sucked and were too casual. Even when good things are announced people are negative there. My favourite being the Wii U controller acting as a universal remote, and there were users complaining that you could buy a separate one if you wanted anyway. One guy even said you could get a great quality one for $50...... it's an extra feature, you could buy a separate one but if you have a Wii u you won't need to.

So yea both sites have their good and bad sides. Personally I like to use Gaf to check for news, speculation, insider info etc. But then like to come to vgchartz to actually discuss something.



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

Lol, it's still a site.

OT: Without hate, there can be no love. So I say let the hate continue and relish.

i have a dream a dream where vgchartz members and neogaf members play video games side by side. when we both go online and troll are favourite and least favourite gaming companies.

i had a dream a dream where society as a whole would look down on us as equally pathetic. my brothers and sisters let us put aside are differences and let us have peace for the greater good and go to war with the ture evil. ign

In a dream, I saw gaf members and vgchartz members assembling on the MiiVerse, playing games together and talking peacefully to one another. ioi was the chieftan of the realm, and the devil was IGN.

Nice banner. I have never seen one person insult vgc, this is a one sided war.

Also, this guys banners are always Nintendo member biased.


This time it was because we needed actual faces to make the characters work. Also Miz probably does not know you because you are on Neogaf too much.

lol, no I am not on GAF much. But the site is currently posting at a ferocious rate to the point conversations are practically impossible in many subjects. 



Why is badgenome holding the vgchartz flag? He's on neogaf now.

I'm carrying the VGChartz banner into enemy territory.



I love the pic in OP, great work guys.



It's funnier that you have makingmusic on there as well. He posts almost solely on GAF.
