I have an xbox 360 slim with over 50 games. I guess I'm part of this xbox community.


Don't worry, we don't consider you at all.


Just as well neither you nor anyone else gets to say who is or isn't part of a console community.

To be fair I don't think someone who goes on Metacritic rating every game a zero on the 360 is going to be welcomed with open arms into the Xbox community 


As I read this several times: Is there any proof for that?

I think he has deleted some of them now.  He admits to this being him by the way.

thanks. and epic thread! "either 10 or 0" and "There seems to be a pattern in the scores :D"

ok, whatever Turkish will ever post here, it can't be taken serious. I already thought this when he was active in his ps4-hw-prediction-thread but now everything is cleared. Why does he own a system he hates? But i don't want it to get personal to Turkish. Let him do whatever he wants - nobody should care anymore.


im sorry, but im seeing the bias here. Its not like he rated those Sony games all high either, he did give R&C FFA a 6 and some multiplat got lower scores, this just tells me he sucks at giving scores.

Most gamers have grown up with Playstation, so that explains why there are more of them on the internetz.

Also, like a user said a few pages ago, XBox 360 is really the first truly successful console from Microsoft(on a worldwide basis) and the userbase is made up mostly of casuals and now families because of Kinect.


1. i'd say many but most? when i grew up, sony built hifi-stuff.

 

2. you say that casuals by cod, halo and gears of war million times? it is casuals that buy so many games for x360? yes, a kinect-game is the highest-selling game on x360 but the other facts say a different thing.

The idea of a console fanbase is stupid. Fanbases for games? Great, fanbases for developers? Great. Consoles? No..


I own a PS3, Vita, 360, Wii, 3DS. I play all but I don't consider myself a fan other either console. I like games on each, there are features I like about each, but a fan of a console...don't understand the point.


The irony is that most of the people here are multiplat owners, so I never really understood the whole being a fanboy of a console thing. At least not to the extremes that some people take it. Hell I think I can count on my two hands how much people here game exclusively on one machine, and not even use all my fingers.


Of course - why should someone only buy exclusives? Being multiplat doesn't automatically mean game is bad. I would really like to know how the ratio of multiplat to exclusives actually is. I bet it's a lot bigger than 1.

not really what i was getting at, but i get your point anyway. Anyone screaming about exclusives is full of it. Bigger than 1? I say bigger than 3. Its just math, there are more 3rd devs than there are 1st party, on any given system. THere are simply more 3rd party games produced period. I really doubt there is anyone only buying exclusives, if they are they must have a small collection

But isn't 3 "a lot bigger than 1" as I said? ;) Especially when talking about a ratio. But I do know ppl who only have exclusives: Wii-owners ;) Mario Kart, Wii fit, Wii Sports :D

1. Yes, most. The PS1 came out way back in 1994 and dominated the competition, same goes for PS2.

2. By casuals, I mean those that don't follow gaming news..those that only buy 1 or 2 games a year like Madden + COD or Halo.

1. but by that time, many gamers that play today already were grown-ups... nvm.

 

2. I doubt that *any* fanbase is not casual by that definition... buying 1 or games a year like fifa + cod.

Ok, these were the games they bought. Sadly, the Wii opened itself quite quick so there was no need to buy games anymore... And no, even with plenty of games they can't be called serious gamers.

I dont agree with that, those were just the type of games certain people cared about and they were not interested in anything else. Did they make another MK for Wii? Nope they did make another Wii fit/sports and people bought those. Thing is, thats all they bought and thats all they were ever going to by. I think the fact thats that all they bought it what makes them not serious gamers. I know im going to get flak for this but alot of serious gamers didnt just stick to Wii, not because they hated those kinds of games that were popular on Wii but because the other types were better elsewhere or simply didnt even exist on Wii. thats just my MHO

Right.  Even allowing for the fact he has deleted a lot of the reviews, he is still showing ridiculous bias. 

I didnt know he deleted some stuff, still not seeing the bias, he didnt rate every non MS game great either, but then again I didnt see the deleted stuff, so I guess ill have to give you the benefit of the doubt.
