lol not u hhuehuehue

I'm talking about those "offtopic" threads that used to actually have interesting discussions.

EDIT: hey, I bet you'd only give me a 8/10 too!! Fine 11/10, but just because you beat me in a bet

I would give you an 11/10 too. 

Even though I won a bet and made you change your sig, you continue to use that sig long after the 1-month period.

 

 

@Darth

I was going to get around to responding to you, but I go in order of who matters most and well, you just weren't as high as some of the others.

Tell me that isn't true

i think its a bit worse as of late but theyre not too bad yet. I still enjoy coming here but i have noticed alot of Fanboy threads from all sides. Especially between GT5 and Forza 3. People just keep trolling the threads discussing the other game even if their game isnt mentioned.



Long Live SHIO!

It happens in waves. Anytime there are large sales or exclusives on the horizon, people get a little rowdy and you have to watch your back or you'll get jumped by angry fanboys over the littlest things.

If you think the board is bad now, it was much worse when I signed up. There was a lot more leniency so legendary Sony fanbrats like Hus could troll for days without facing repercussions.

The only thing Hate is when ppl resort to SALES, REVIEWS, and META to prove something..."especially in the why my game is better than yours" debates. We say all the time SALES DONT EQUAL QUALITY...we all go yeess not to look like a fool, but there are ppl constantly usin it...other than that....everything is normal

Yeah...but quality is subjective...sales are not, so it's hard to tell me a great is the greatest thing since slice bread...but nobody wants to buy it...that sounds like YOU (that is the person who thinks the game is so great) might love it, but a major of gamers don't!


now ur saying we can base the amount of ppl who like a game vs the amount of ppl who dont like a game off of sales???....this is comments i was talkin about, alot of things factor into sales...Hype, Brand name, advertisement, Multi or Exclusive,genre,reception,appeal...to say a great game didnt sell well cause nobody wanted it is dumb

Yep.  Sales/profits are a reason to own a company's stock, if the numbers are good enough and gaming is a large enough % of the company's business.  Sales/profits are not a reason to think that your console is better.  Your console may just be cheaper, marketed better, a fad, or have come out sooner, all of which would help sales but wouldn't be a reason to think that the games are better.



It seems to be the same as when i used to read on these forums 2 years ago. The posters have gotten worse though, and the site is predominately PlayStation.

Im new here,so i wouldnt know how were the forums before,sorry.But so far i think its allright



 

I have to agree - I barely ever look at the threads anymore, nothing here interests me.

Its also the redesign of the site - there is a much bigger focus on news, stories, (etc) - with everything accepting comments. The forum threads basically come last, and personally I don't have any time for them.

Are you guys blaming me for this?

Yeah and you know, maybe it would just be better off if you left.

You didn't come back.

I was only kidding. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

If I had been in garamonds place I would be on the verge of suiciding right now!

how could you euphoria!

You didn't reply back.

I was only kidding. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

MAN YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY I AM NOT EMO LIKE CLOUD OR THIS WOULD BE ON THE KTLA NEWS RIGHT NOW!



TO MANY RANKING/ELIMINATION THREADS!!!!!



I don't notice much change. A year ago there were still flamebait threads, spamming threads, interesting threads, excellent threads and everything there's now. Some people have left forever, some people barely come anymore, but there are new people, some that started posting less than a year ago, and not for that they aren't cool people.

I mean, yeah, I miss some people, some posters that have left were funny, but that doesn't mean that some new that have come aren't as good, or that the quality of discussion isn't as good as before. Of course, you can always give an example of "man, this thread sucks", that has always happened and always will, you can't expect in a 50k community everyone to behave well, it always happens. What matters is that the community isn't getting any worse, nor is the content of the threads
