I agree, thats why people hate the company's and the consoles.

And to think it all started with "My xbox 360 is the best ps3 is a piece of shit".

See, I too used to hate game companies. In my case, it was Microsoft and the XBOX. The reason I hated it so much was because the games were seriously overhyped and didn't offer the variety of the PS2 and the first party games of the Gamecube. It got so bad that I felt that I was having Halo being shoved down my throat.

But then I played the 360 and fell in love with the features, the games and the console itself. And even when I had to replace the console two times I still love it. I even started playing Halo 2 and saw why so many people love it. I still think it gets overhyped, mind you, but that doesn't rob from the fact that its a great multiplayer title.

Thanks to this I realized that I shouldn't focus too much on a system's weaknesses and issues because then I would be ignoring its good qualities. I love games, and will play anything no matter the console. I am planning on buying the PS3 for titles like Uncharted, Little Big Planet and Metal Gear Solid 4.

I find it very annoying when people try hard to discredit a console simply because its not of their preference. If you don't like a console that's OK. But why the need to put down those that do? I also hate the notion that you have to play certain games in order to gain a serious rep. Didn't High School teach us that popularity, acceptance and reputation are bullcrap and don't matter at all in the real world?

I've had fun with Wii Fit and Gears 2. Just because I liked one it doesn't mean I have to ignore the other. No matter what people label them as they are games. They have goals, they offer a challenge and, most importantly, ARE FUN.

So all of this kiddy/mature, hardcore/casual has always been crap, same with console loyalty and fanboyism.

 

Glad you enjoy your 360, I would not say you were a fanboy though, you had a real reason (strange one, if you ask me, Halo is AWESOME) to dislike the Xbox ... it wasn't because it was a rival console.

Another proof that the X360 fans are the most intelligible and mature. ;)

Heres were i left off with that "but" Star Ocean 4 is the only game i'll "Jump in" for personally, regardless though, MS wants to destroy sony's PlayStation and they've been wanting to do this for the past 2 or 3 years, and that is a very disturbing thought. they've even been taking some former nintendo exclusives to (Banjo) and they also hate Apple aswell as yahoo.

Come to think of it MS doesnt like anyone being in the same field as them... O.o

Thats just uncalled for. -_-

I gotta admit though there console is still HD, and anything HD is okay in my book. :D

Not really, theres some reasonable PS3 fans out there to, im one of them for good example. the only thing i have strong bias for right now is Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and thats about it.

MakingMusic and Kantor aswell as that one other dude that i forgot are down-to-earth gamers aswell, obsession with Team ICO games aside. :L

I don't hate Sony, but I think they are a joke of a company, and they make me sick on a regular basis. Hate is a strong word, it's more like I don't like what they do.
