A lot of people here make haughty comments, even if somewhat untrue to reality. Just because they saw another guy from the opposing side do the same thing.

Ex: "MS fans thought Forza 6 would sell 4m."
"Sony fans thought Halo 5 would only sell 2m LTD"
"Nintendo fans thought Wii U would sell 80m LTD"

When its all just generalizing, and all the extreme comments should not be taken seriously unless they come true. ( A la Tbone and Splatoon)

Nah my post WAS about 1 specific user. No generalizing at all.

Just an example tbh. Any similar comments should pretty much be disregarded.

The only time I change my stance on something, is when new evidence is brought to light that changes my opinion.

Other than that, I'm always consistent.

Or do you have evidence to the contrary? A reason to doubt?

I won't accuse you of bias but I will bring evidence ...

These samples hint that you have a less than favourable outlook on the other competitors ...

Your consistent alright. Consistently pro-____ of course going by your long history ...

You also seem accepting too ...

All of this is just the tip of an iceberg ...

I agree with this to some degree

you will be hard pressed to find ANY video game forum online (and there are a lot of them) in which the majority of posters don't take some degree of stance on what platform of series they likes. whether its debates about PC vs. consoles, Xbox vs. Playstation, Nintendo vs everyone, Halo vs. COD, Zelda vs. Dark Cloud (hahahaha), etc.

nothing unique on this site regarding people sticking up for things they like. that is extremely regular and healthy to a degree, shows that gamers are passionate and do care about the field

I'd say most people on here are not, people are simply unable to accept others have different preferences in gaming.

Both Adblock and Adblock Plus have been sold out. http://thenextweb.com/apps/2015/10/02/trust-us-we-block-ads/

What adblocker do you use? I use uBlock Origin since it does the same things Adblock and Adblock Plus do, but consumes less RAM.

I don't use ad blocking software.

Impressive, that's some damning evidence right there. Well done.

I think it's ok to be a fanboy. One thing i hate is when they start talking crap about the competition.

I think that's what separates a fan from a fanboi.. o:

It's because ioi left. Without his presence, everyone's inner fanboyism is growing too powerful to control. Soon everyone will be consumed by the negativity of the console wars. Leave while you still can!

We need to go to the source to reset VGC. Who's Neo tho?

While this thread was borderline, people took it over the edge.

For that reason Im locking it (Even though it already died )
