The ones who bring sales into game discussions.

The ones who care more about how many dollars a company makes, rather than how many games a company makes.


I guess you could just say that I hate "gamers" who focus on sales.

Where the fuck did it all go wrong?

When Sony stopped dominating.

How much money is more important to gamers, because playing games lost its flavor long ago!

Nothing better when you get one of these scenarios.

 

Person A: "Can't wait for the holiday season, SO many 1st party games I am looking forward to."

Person B: "Haha, yeah, enjoy those games they keep making while losing billions."

 

Yup, sure, give me less games. I just care about the millionaires making more millions.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

The ones that think they're better than others and take pleasure in other's failure.

GeneralMLD is cool and a true man, showing his face to an army of haters. Most of our members secretly wish they were as brave and bold as him.

I sometimes wonder if you post some of things that you do just to get a reaction from people.

He isn't standing up against "haters", he does just what they do (and many of them aren't "haters" at all, they just know a person with an extreme bias when one comes along). In a sense, he's what you'd call a guy that was once part of a specific faction, in their little crowd, but now seeks to take them on.........with their own tactics. Not exactly commendable, but hey, whatever floats the boat.

Not in this case, but sure, if I am self-critical for a moment, I think it sometimes can happen that I post stuff to get a reaction, but it's more done sub-consciously rather than intentional. So I do not admit to trolling, but I think the basic psychological mechanism - the urge to want a reaction from other people - might be similar.

About GeneralMLD, the key thing is that he is the underdog. That's what the Xbox-Sony fanboy war is mostly about from the Xbot perspective. We are many who hate the superior attitude of Sony fans, not Sony or its products themselves, and that's why we have sided with the underdog and sometimes we take on the full fanboy role of pretending Xbox is the best thing since sliced bread.

But you can see the blink in the eye of GeneralMLD. He is not dead serious. He's just a lonely hero standing up against the fanatical Sony army.



oh blah blah blah with this heroic "hero" sh!t MLDs presence is turning the rest of the 360 fans on vgchartz into groupies LOL i can probably guess who the next 360 user on here will be that starts bowing to their great master MLD you all would probably kiss the heroes feet if you met him.. the 360 fanboys died out because all their arguments faded or became nullified and 360 fanboys had that same superiority complex that you claim for ps3 fanboys so dont try to act like 360 fanboys are this nice bunch of guys who are innocent and always get bullied by the mean ol ps3 guys LMAO

Quite the contrary. 

On metacritic 360 has more 70-79, 80-89, and even 90+ games. the 70's and 80s are sizeable gaps. Head start or not, the results are what they are. And yet PS3 fans say we got no games? lol. Fee or not, Live is superior. And in an online centric gaming industry, one with the best online is the best choice for the gamer (IMO offcourse). 

More games, better online, and more total sales (aka winner). Those are the 3 arguments ive gone by since I started, and havent been proved wrong on any of them.....since every one is fact (you can argue Live superiority, but thats based on willing to pay for the cost, not arguing that PSN has more features). 

No 360 fans faded because we see no reason to continue. 360 beat PS3 this gen. Itll hold 2nd place until the next gen. After that, PS3 is welcome to do what it wants. There is no point holding the fort when you know you won. PS3 fans however know they have fallen from grace and have come in ridiculous numbers......because if you band together and all talk like-minded, you can convince yourself that your not losing, that Sony isnt bleeding. Its group denial at its finest. 

Its just little old me calling out the smugness, getting hate from literally thousands of people. Im just one guy. So dont make me laugh painting a nice picture of PS3 fans.

There's nothing laughable about GerenalMLD's videos, because he uses hard facts to back his opinions. It isn't like he's some delusional fanboy making stuff up and being blind to reality.

GeneralMLD: "PS3, by itself, is a piece of shit"

 

Oops, I forgot that part

Take into account that quote isnt said here but is said on YT. Opinions aside, I do have a obligation to make a good video. But on topic with the thread, that comment isnt as crazy as you might think. 

Sony fans are unique, because unlike Wii and 360 fans, who each are content with defending their console on its on terms, PS3 fans will more often then not use the PC to defend the PS3. This scenerio has heppened to me countless times (im using 2012 examples):

Me: Witcher 2 and Minecraft are amazing 360 games. PS3 doesnt have them. 

PS3 Fan: They are not exclusive. I can just play them on PC. 

Actually pay attention to a PS3 fan defending their console. More often then you think.....they admit to playing their PC alongside their PS3. They know PS3 cant play the 360 games with PC versions so they "bundle" the PC with their PS3 to make the ultimate gaming setup. 

Essentially its instead of 360 vs PS3.........PS3 fans turn it into 360 vs PS3/PC. 

They need the PC to compensate for 360s multiplats not available on PS3. PS3 suddenly cant stand up for itself, PS3 fans need a second system to elevate it, to make it a fair comparison. But I see its funny that Sony fans are the only ones who cant defend PS3 for its own qualities. 

Now please, respond :)

The only ones that really bother me are the illogical ones

I dont care if someone is Sony fanboy because they just simly love Sony type games. But the ones who try to pretend that Sony games look SOOOOOO much better than any other system and that niche ganes wilk sell 10 million or more are the worst.

I just saw TLOU in person in 1080p and ill tell you strait up it doesnt look far superior to Gears 3. Though it is beautiful




Personally, I've always found Microsoft fanboys to be the worst. They just seem the most aggressive. In my experience, I don't see a lot of Sony or Nintendo fanboys actively hoping for Microsoft's demise, yet I see Microsoft fanboys relishing when sony fails, or are otherwise HOPING for sony to fail at every turn from the original PS2/Xbox argument right to now, where I still see t hem actively trying to convince everyone that the Vita sucks and needs to die.

Before I actually knew how well Sony did with the PS2 (best selling system ever), I actually thought the Xbox was outselling it because many of my friends were strict Microsoft fanboys that hated sony, and were always spouting some nonsense about how the PS2 was a failure and all the good games were microsoft exclusives. Meanwhile, that system barely outsold the Gamecube, a norotiously poor selling console.

Then this generation came out and Microsoft seemed to have a thing with sony again, and for YEARS the Microsoft fanboys (and admittedly many of the sony ones) were screaming "PS3 HAS NO GAEMS", bemoaning the company for EVERY decision they made (they still do this) and basically doing everything they could do demonize sony and their prodcucts.

Microsoft fanboys are the reason I entered this generation HATING the Xbox 360 (them and the red ring of death), even though deep down inside I wanted one. Eventually I grew up (right around the time Sony started selling more consoles and Microsoft started floundering, therefore giving the Xbots no ammo to work with), and I picked up an Xbox 360, and now I have all systems and I certainly think they all have their merits, even though my favorite is still the PS3. Most games, best games, Blu Ray, love free online play and PSP/PSV cross connectivity. Going into next gen, I currently have the WiiU as my least favorite, but like this gen, I will get one, just not at launch.

Another annoying group of fanboys in second place have to be the "PC God Elitists". not people who simply think PC gaming is objectively better (for those with good systems it is better), but those who feel they have the right to look down their nose at console gamers, like they're above console gaming, BETTER than us. PC gaming is cool, and Steam has come a long way towards making i t far more user friendly, but I still prefer consoles to PC, and there's nothing worse than an elitist.

Apple fanboys are annoying, too...but I can ignore them becuase I know they're just a silly cult following overpriced nonsense that perfectly encapsulates all that's wrong with modern consumer culture. They're easy to disregard.



My Console Library:

PS5, Switch, XSX

PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, WiiU, Wii, GCN, N64 SNES, XBO, 360

3DS, DS, GBA, Vita, PSP, Android

The people in here complaining about sales focused gamers need to remember what website theyre on

Its a sales site theres gonna be a lot of amateur sales analysts
