Forums - Gaming - Have 360 fanboys become worse on this site?

Yeah, I know the site has always favored Wii then PS3 then Xbox as far as members. It's a sales site.

I'm just adding a theory that a lot of 360 fans get bored in their forum and venture out and end up causing trouble.

28 million+ 360 owners.

Online gaming more popular than ever.

a very high percentage of people own pc's or laptops hence defending your console is only a keyboard and a click away.

360 fans are becoming more visable simply because the fan base is getting bigger and bigger.

So its obvious your gonna notice more pro 360/anti ps3 threads.

They are HD consoles in direct competition.

Theres always tonnes of ps3 threads.

So maybe 360 fans think ps3 fans have become worse than ever on this site too.

you know "best games coming to ps3 2009"

psn is better than xbl

killzone 2 thread 327,934

Blah blah blah

Now imagine this post made by a poster with a Helghast roses avatar and a pro-Sony sig.

And you said you would be more careful with bets...

OT: Oh god, yes. It appears the different fanboys are worse in different areas.

Sony fanboys: They (we) hype things ridiculously, but that's not a bad thing. What is a bad thing is that they don't think anybody is allowed to genuinely dislike a hyped game. It's hard to comprehend when you enjoy some games that other people can't.

Now, I do get annoyed at the "Zomg KZ2 is worse than Haze!" posts that are clearly made by people who don't own a PS3, and have never played Killzone 2, nor do they intend to (that or somebody who just stepped out of a time machine from 2005).

But when somebody gives a genuine reason for disliking the game (and no, 4 frames of command lag is not a genuine reason), a lot of people get up in arms about it. Xbox fanboys are a lot better in this sense. They accept people disliking their games (I could make another comment here, but it could get me banned, so no).

Microsoft fanboys: They insist on tearing down every PS3 exclusive in existence. Whether it's Tools of Destruction, Resistance 2 and Uncharted which are "not AAA", MGS4 which is a movie, LBP which is a kiddy, casual level toolset which happens to have just won the most prestigious annual gaming award in existence and has a higher metascore than the almighty Gears of War games, and now Killzone 2. Killzone 2 is more difficult, because it cannot be dismissed so easily, due to the fact that it has been compared to Halo and Gears. Insulting the core idea would be insulting their own games, so instead they must nitpick on every small issue: 0.137 seconds of command lag (I bet you Halo 3 has at least that much), frame rate drops to 20 fps (like Gears) or "huge dead zones" etc. etc. etc.

Menawhile, the Nintendo fanboys sit, laugh, and go back to discussing who is hotter, Mario or Link, and the like

 

Both 360 and ps3 fanboys are guilty of tearing in to each others highly rated exclusives. Gears is overrated, Metal gear is overrated, everybody hates left 4 dead or bought it on pc (cough Bullsh*t cough) ect ect.

my posts covered in sony propaganda (Sony sig and killzone avatar, nooooooooooooooo lol)

Nobody says Gears is overrated, though! People only say Halo 3 is overrated, and that's because it is! Even Microsoft fanboys agree with us on that one.

Which of the following have you seen more of: Gears of War hate or Killzone 2 hate?

Then again, there are a few (very few) Sony fans who dislike Killzone 2...maybe three or something? While pretty much no Microsoft fanboy in their right mind dislikes Killzone 2.

Come to think of it, have you actually seen any known Sony fans insulting Killzone 2? I haven't. Sure, some people saying "I own a PS3, I'm unbiased!", but they are lying. Everybody who dislikes Killzone 2 is a liar. Same with MGS4, LBP and Uncharted.

It makes perfect sense (tm)

@ kantor, sure, some people don't like Halo 3, but i'm sure that you acknowledge that as soon as a few 360 owners said they disliked it ps3 fanboys jumped on the bandwagon in double quick time.

Halo 3 has sold over 9 million copies and is the most successful FPS this gen on consoles thus making it an easy target.

when killzone 2 is released don't be suprised to see more "i don't like killzone 2" threads.

I suppose. Like I said, pretty much no PS3 fans dislike Killzone 2, so there shouldn't be the same level of hate, but the hate is much greater.

@ ronster- when killzone 2 is released don't be suprised to see more "i don't like killzone 2" threads.

 

From 360 fanboys claiming that they have played the game even tho they havn't yeh I wouldn't be surprised.

Also, its well documented that theres at least two times as many ps3 fans on here as opposed to 360 fans.

So if two 360 fans say they hate Halo 3 it may as well be six 360 fans saying they hate Halo 3 because you know four sony fans will wade in with their opinion on the game based on others comments.

Whereas if a sony fan does happen to dislike killzone 2 his comments will be drowned out by the praise that the other 99.9% sony fans will give it.

It's works both ways.

I wonder how many ps3 fans gave Halo 3 or Gears of war 2 a bad review on amazon or metacritic?

Also on amazon i have seen people give the 360 console 1 star out of 5 and when they have been challenged about what they said in the comments section they suddenly go alarmingly quiet.

Don't bring those two into this. Amazon and Metacritic have a long history of useless user reviews, that comes from both sides.

On VGC, which has just about the lowest annoying fanboy:contributing member ratio, perhaps 1:50, Gears of War 2 is one of the most loved games. Sure, there are people who dislike it, but they can't be bothered to create hate threads, because most of them are people who bought a 360 for the JRPGS; remember, this pretty much only happens between Sony and Microsoft fanboys, while the Nintendo fanboys come in occasionally, point out that they are winning, get bored when everyone ignores them, and go back to their Mario vs. Link fights etc.

MGS4 is an interesting example. It gets huge amounts of hate, but also huge amounts of love. Best game on PS3 user vote? MGS4. GoTY 2008 user vote? MGS4. Not just on VGC, IGN, GameSpot, pretty much everywhere.

<3 MGS4.

The bigger the game the more likely its gonna receive both praise and cursing in roughly equal amounts.

360 games are bound to get hit harder than ps3 games simply due to the far higher percentage of ps3 fanboys on here as opposed to 360 fansboys.

Look to the right on the main page, look at all the ps3 games in the "most popular" section.

That says it all really.
