Forums - Gaming Discussion - Fanboys !.. who is the worst ???

in my opinion the worst kind of fanboys are the ones who compare games that they have neither played nor hardly know anything about them, because they are not even released.




“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Man whatever. It's article like that, that turned me into a fanboy. Do reviews on sites like that get included in Metacritic



Quote from Jim Sterling when asked which piece he thinks is his best.
"I'm particularly proud of that piece because it stoked the fanboy fires"

He's a troll and nothing more.



Usually if people can answer "who are the worst fanboys?", it means they are a fanboy themselves.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

All fanboys are awful. I've learned this from youtube. To say PS3 fanboys are the worst is stupid. I've met some truly retarded 360 and Wii fanboys. The worst part is when they resort to personal insults after getting owned. The insecurities you squeeze out of them is...I don't know if it's funny or just disturbing.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Sounds like a rival console fanboy wrote that piece.

IMO as someone who tries to write his comments carefully and with respect, I have to say I think XBox 360 fans seem to be by far the worst. Lots of name calling involded in many discussions and usually when your personal opinion turns out to be correct, even then no apologies, just further attacks.

I still remember people being upset that I called the 360 to be a failure prone console (before Microsoft admitted problems to share holder as a result of a pending lawsuit). That, saying the PS3 is more powerful or saying the PS3 will probably outsell the 360 seemed to wind up 360 fanboys the most.

The average PS3 user seems more mature, open minded and relaxed to me (but not everyone).

ah MikeB, you are the greatest individual in existence.  You are never wrong and perfect in every way.  Nothing but truth and wisdom escape your lips.  



Everybody has their personnal preferences. People claiming they don't have a preference or a favorite console while they are criticizing a console or a game are the worst imo, they are hypocrites.

That said, I think the OP put his finger on it.



Of course when a fanboy's favourite console has been in the lead, that fanboy will become the most arrogant.



I LOVE ICELAND!

ah MikeB, you are the greatest individual in existence.


Thanks.

But no, there are far greater people worthy of that title.

PS3 vs 360 sales

Ps3 fans are warriors
