Forums - Gaming - Question for nintendo fanboys...

I dislike all of them... and this topic is fine, it's not targeting anyone in specific.

Let's see:

Wii Fanboys: Will hype anything, regardless of how bad it is. Then tell everyone that they are wrong for not liking it (not that they have a different opinion, they will call them flatout wrong). Arrogant, brag a lot. During slow software periods for the Wii they become extremely depressed about their own console also to the point of insulting. They can be hypocritical. Often complaining about stuff like "generic shooters" on other platforms then hyping stuff like The Conduit.

PS3 Fanboys: As has been mentioned, they are generally angry.  Angry at others for not buying PS3s, angry at developers for PS3 not getting all the games they feel it should and for games not always being up to par with other platforms.  They get both defensive and aggressive, generally against the 360 more than the Wii. Always hyping games not yet out, even to the point of ignoring the great ones that are, sometimes to the point of insulting their own best games (LBP?).

360 Fanboys: Smug, hypocritical. Reviews are the most important thing until you talk about something that didn't get good reviews (like 360 JRPGs), and then they suddenly never mattered. They specialize in the "stealth troll" where they will actually hunt the internet for bad news about systems they don't like. Target the PS3 far more than the Wii. Put hands over ears and sing loudly when PC is mentioned. Favorite words are "console exclusive" and "AAA."

 

The only ones I generally am able to tolerate are handheld game system and PC fanboys, as they are the only ones with the games to backup their attitudes.  However, by definition a fanboy is not "grounded in reality." They are someone who takes love of their console past reality.

the only problem is we already have this same kind thread in the front page too.

Toasty, why do you always do that?

Fair point, locking as dupe.



I think naznatips pretty much nailed it.

Personally I find Sony fanboys the most annoying (although any real fanboy is annoying cause they don't follow reason, just passion for their system). Mainly because they are both arrogant, feeling that the PS3 is the rightful heir to the PS2's throne, just because, it is and also bitter and angry because not only has it not inherited the throne, it's becoming the runt, 'also ran' system but there's always some game(s) coming out that's about to change all that...

Hey the PS3 is a GREAT system with some AWESOME exclusives. Just be happy and enjoy it.
