Forums - Gaming Discussion - When did your fanboyism kick in?

Pretty much when I saw my cousin play Phantasy Star for the first time. I had no idea why he was playing a non-Nintendo console RPG like Final Fantasy. I just couldn't wrap my mind around it.

Then it was the SEGA Ads that bashed Mario Kart and other ads like that. Yeah that was a problem. :)

@S.T.A.G.E. Maybe Nintendo is Disney! o;

2008. I was watching credits roll after Snake had supposedly shot himself. The wave of emotions during those straight 10 hours or so was new to me. I knew at that time that I swore a blood oath to Sony which would have me waste several years hyping games and thinking about them non-stop. I am grateful.

please cover up spoilers, i havent played metal gear yet

 

 

 

Soz but it came out in 08! Cant blame me :|

your telling the ending of the game, atleast cover it up



Im not so sure if I am a fanb*y or not. I would say no.

I have almost every Nintendo console but I also have a Sega GameGear, MegaDrive/Genesis and a Dreamcast.

I also have a PS2 Slim and PS3phat (a slim not superslim ordered 2 days ago so I have 2 PS3s then) and I played alot of PS1 games because my sister had a PS1. (still have StarOcean, Alundra, Hearts of Darkness, Pandemonioum, Rayman, GTA1+2+London, KKND Crossfire, RedAlert2+addon etc ....for PS1)

And I also have a 2 Xbox 360.

But when I see how a specific fanb*y group uses no brain and starts to be ignorant I do "explode"/go HULK and have to do everything I can to show them how dumb they are. I dunno its some kind of ANTI-IGNORANCE-REFLEX.

Its just with 1 fanb*y group I dunno.

Having multiple consoles doesn't hide the fact that someone can still be a fanboy. Being  a fan just means you think one brand is superior to the rest because of its attributes personally applying to you, thats all. Being a fanboy is when you become irrational over such things. I tend to critique all console brands so I am seen as a pessimist, when in truth I am an optimist who likes all brands, but is misunderstood because I want them to get better.

2009. When Elepresador and his army were in full swing. Thats when I grew a bigger sack then my allready big sack and decided to show my face on youtube, knowing 90% of my viewers would spit venom at me.

Some of the most fun I had on the internet :)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

So when I hate Nintendo for:
1. Removing a real overworld in Skyward Sword
2. WiiU not having SurroundSound in Wii mode (it only has Stereo)
3. Eshop VC Games being 400% overpriced (5 bucks for a NES game lol?)
4. Their stupid idea of not including a charger in the PAL 3DSXL box
5. The fact that I cant play  SD Wii games on the WiiUGamepad
6. Their removal of analog triggers (which they had on Gamecube) on the Gamepad and WiiU "pro" controller? (how am I supposed to strafe in F-Zero now?)
7. The DSLite not having AES encryption and that I have to shut down and turn on the system after I was messing with the systems settings.
8. NSMB2 having a strange coop  where the camera is locked on 1 player and the other one can be left behind since he has no influence on the camera even tho the game needs 2 systems?
9. Pal VC games on Wii+WiiU being 50hz
10. - 999999. "insert other design flaws"

I am not a Nintendo fanboy right?

I think a brand is superior in specific aspects not in general   like Sony is great for having the crossbuy feature and and MS for having the best controller albeit with the worst DPAD EVER! And when a company is doing bullshit I see no point in defending it  since its the companies own fault.

It is really a great series, Don't be afraid to jump right into the PS1 original Metal Gear solid, you'd be suprised how enjoyable and playable it is for it's age and it's probably the best if not one of the best in the series.

Then of course go HD collection and then mgs4.
