Wow, sometimes I am embarrassed that I happen to have picked up video gaming as a hobby.

People treat this as if it's anything close to remotely of consequence. Holy hell. With all the efforts of framing video games as a mainstream hobby and something with a 'cool' image, the truth is sadly this: Video game fans are a bunch of nerds suitably detached from the real world.

Oh video games, I wish I could quit you.

You're on a video game forum. More specifically, you're on a video game sales forum. What do you expect?

That summary of yours is uncalled for, though. It's one thing to have a hobby and account on a videogame forum, but it's another to be "detached from the real world". That is an insult to anyone here.

Including myself. Yes, I am ashamed of myself and the entire video game community.

i liked the part about the whole world trying to bash microsoft only because they're superior.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

GAF moderators erasing all stuff then trying to do damage control makes them look worse. They posted an explanation in Reddit about how ekim is not CBoat.

In my opinion CBOat is an account used by different GAF users to promote bad Xbox news.



lol its kinda funny how close video games are to politics.

Fans(boys if you want to call it) are almost like registered party members
Those people who just buy what everyone else is getting, or what is getting the best publicity are like undecideds
we have whistle blowers, Leaks, and scandals. People believing in false rumors as well as spreading them. Plus under delivered promises, and complete policy flip flops based on public opinion lol

Then you have the Dorito's Pope and similar personalities as your Political Pundits lol



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

When you have thousands of death treats because of Mass Effect 3 ending. Making a fuss because Cranky Kong was the Nintendo reveal at the VGX. All gaming forums insulting either MS, Sony or Nintendo. FF XIII is a piece of shit. Death treats because Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive. Nintendo is doomed because of the 2DS. Mobile games are the devil. I can agree with all impertinence said.

The reasons above is why people doesn't take the game industry seriously. They see the industry (and it's fans) like a bunch of grown up kids, and sadly, this kind of things doesn't really prove them wrong.

Not sure what they said on Reddit but I think it is obvious that they want to protect leakers/insiders since that is a big reason why gaf is so famous. A newspapers does also everything to get info in their newspapers and to protect those who are responsible for the info they got. Gaf isn't a newspaper but they have the same reasons to protect these people. Who would ever leak something in the future if he wouldn't feel safe?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
