Usually i'm not too fond of these kind of threads, mostly because it all becomes a big mud-slinging contest between factions on VGC, but i'm just going to tackle one of the issues that has always annoyed me since I joined:

Hypocrisy.

It runs rampant here in the forums and if affects a lot of users from all the "camps" here in VGC. People who post threads attacking X console because of Y feature or Z game, thinking they're entitled to do so and then, when the tables are turned, play the victim card and say that the opposite camp members are the worst around here and their own camp has never done anything wrong.
It's a very ciclic thing and it usually happens a lot whenever there's a new reveal from Microsoft, Nintendo and/or Sony, or when a big game gets released.

This hypocrisy also happens between fans of individual series, especially when said series are some of the oldest and longest running series in VG history. Instead of having a healthy discussion when topics from said series arises, the threads usually boil down into name calling anyone who appreciates X game from the series in detriment of Y game, and the usual "i'm a true fan of the series and you're not" is one of the biggest phrases thrown in those threads as well.

"Unbiased" people. More specifically, the type who pretends to have an honest interest in all platforms and likes to talk about the things that need to materialize to be won over. Goalposts are moved when criteria are met while one selected console manufacturer seems to get a free pass and somehow does everything right. Another thing that those people don't seem to notice is that their bias shines through whenever there is an opportunity to take sides. They struggle to present an objective point of view, so in most cases they will pick a side.

Names Rol...names.

If I had my way I'd do away with the non-gaming forums and make this a purely video game oriented site.



so I see you a fan of hamsters :p



The thing that annoys me most about this site is the abundance of threads that break the rules (duplicate threads, pointless threads, threads with no substance, etc), and the mods who are so reluctant to do anything about it. These shitty threads often drown out the decent threads that spring up every once in a while.
