I'm with you on this one for sure. +1 QFT. I am a witness to the hypocrisy. I remember during the E3 360 conference I was in a forum and a chat and both exploded after the SE 3 JRPG's went multiplat with timed exclusivity. The Sony fanboys stated "At least we have FFXIII, those games will never sell on the 360." Boom as karma would have it afterward the Sony fanboys got bitchslapped by their hatred for the 360 in denial of its breaking of new ground with SE unveiling that FFXIII was going multiplat. Hell froze over and PS3 fans sounded like they popped a vein in their cranium. From then on i've never heard a kind word about FFXIII. It's ALWAYS been about versus.

To me...i'll be having both games. I still considered Versus a side game, since it is not the MAIN GAME. If memory serves me correct as well, the side game for the FF main franchise games are always less appealing after being played than the first. The side games may get more commercial time, but they wont win out over the original.

lol, I swear I didn't want to do it dude. Especially since I was criticized for using too much verbage buy that guy a while back, but this was just a case where I had to pull out the text crit to explain myself.

 

I'm talking to my friend who just so happens to be a Sony fanboy. He blindly follows anything Japanese. LOL it's hilarious how even though you give facts he sticks to the same argument without a decent rebuttal.

Fine...turn a blind eye. Sony fanboys have complained. After E3, it was all the rage and a war broke out between the 360 fanboys and the Sony fanboys. Im not an advocate for either faction, but this gen i've realized that 360 owners have more logical arguments. Last gen the fans of the orignal Xbox were morons who were graphics whores. This gen that role goes with flying colors to the PS3 fanboys. Most people did not keep their mouth shut. People were bitching in homes, on forums, myspace, videogame sites and more. To ignore the truth is the sad part.

I agree with you that because of the current market situation that most 3rd party games will be multiplatform. I haven't met a PS3 fanboy who hasn't had a biased argument. I had to deal with that same nonsense from Xbox fanboys last gen while Nintendo fanboys were the ones bitching because they were in last but had valid and historically backed arguments (in most cases). Nintendo really don't have much to argue about today, and I don't know why they defend the Wii. The Wii isn't exactly trying to go toe to toe with the other systems. It's doing it's own thing and thats what makes it beautiful and unique.

I this gen happen to be a PS360 guy, because that just so happens to suit my tastes. Microsoft has been able to pump out alot of great diverse games that I can play though.

Am I the only one who takes issue with these broad generalisations and assupmtions?

Second bolded: I do understand where you're coming from. There is some truth when people say that stereotypes exist for a reason but sometimes I think we all grossly overexaggerate them.

 

 

When I speak of fanboys of which I am "generalizing", i'm talking about a large amount of faction building morons who type on their computer everyday backing up their more powerful console. FACT: For the past two generations the most powerful systems were never in first and that has always been hard to swallow. It reduces things to shallow arguments. When you advocate everything blindly you are a unpaid messenger for corporations like MS and Sony (Who don't need you, but your money will do). I have no party lines. There is only my opinion and I side with the consoles that gather the most 3rd party titles, have the largest and most diverse library and have just good enough graphics for me to enjoy the furtherance of the gen.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you and am equally appauled (a bit strong, I suppose) when people magically turn overnight from anticipating XIII more to vsXIII simply because it was then a multiplat. And I, too, think that it is quite a large amount of people. We just simply have a different idea of what a fanboy is, I consider myself a Final Fantasy fanboy just the same as I consider myself a Montreal Canadiens fanboy because I fervently follow both and am pretty much obessed with both, while not advertising them or pushing them in anyway... but now I'm just talking semantics and so I concede.

Sorry for misinterupting your post. Just a little difference in what we think a fanboy is.

Being an FF fanboy is not such a bad thing as long as you take note to things and make great points for your cause. It's the console fanboys that are annoying. Plenty of people have national or state pride. That is only normal if people hold an idea or ideology true to their heart. I just so happen to be talking to an American pro-Japanese, biased, PS3 fanboy who just so happens to be a friend of mine. Have I told him this? You bet I did, but we're still friends never the less.

No they wont.

FFXIII isn't important as it is no longer exclusive. Versus is, and always has been, the most anticipated title of this generation for any and all platforms.

How did you come to the conclusion that Versus is more important than 13? Versus is like an action RPG spinoff.

From my recollection, I believe he was being sarcastic.

Indeed, I was.

In terms of software and hardware sales, critical acclaim (maybe) and fanboy hardons, Versus has always been FAR LESS hyped than FFXIII.

But personally, I have always been very keen on Versus, but largely disinterested in FFXIII.  If Versus stays exclusive, I'll buy a PS3 upon it's release if I haven't already.

after reading that other post about FF13, it seems that many PS3 fanboys are getting a little worked up over this issue... personally I don't play these games but I do own a PS3 and can't wait to see what happens, this is like a daytime drama show, the suspense just keeps building.

 

pfft, nevermind, I listened to MS.

Doubt it./



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

FF XIII will not be any good. 13 is an unlucky number.

DMJ's ability to ignore one equivelantly sweet joke in favour of the one that favours PS3 is unparalled.
