My mother always told me that hate is a strong word only to be used when the situation truly calls for it. This is one such situation. Fanboys stink and are bad for the health of the gaming industry and here’s 5 reasons as to why.
"They are the inescapable scourge of every video game website and forum on the planet… fanboys. Have an opinion? They will attempt to rip you to shreds with false logic, denial and loud cries filled with clichéd leet speak. How do we defend ourselves against these Neanderthals of the gaming world? Well, you don’t. Let’s face it, they aren’t going anywhere. Your best defense is to try, no matter how difficult it might be, to ignore them. Ignore that part of you that wants to fill them in on just how stupid they really are because all it does is bring you to their level. After all, if you do give in, it’s the digital equivalent of slapping a grizzly bear in the face with a fresh salmon and they will maul you with idiocy and childlike name calling. If you don’t understand where we’re coming from here then you yourself might be a fanboy. All in all we can’t stand fanboys, in fact we hate them about as passionately as they blindly love their nerd-vice of choice."

This is a fun game and it will be interesting to experience it in V.R. Play through a brand new story as you fight to gain a foothold in the perilous Overlands, battling the elements and the many colossal creatures that reside in the forest.

I looove this article
1.) THEY MAKE GAMERS LOOK UNEDUCATED AND CHILDISH
"If you wanted to play games you would be force fed whatever they wanted to feed you. You’d shut up and like it too because what choice would you have? There’s a saying that’s been around for many years and it’s a simple one: competition breeds excellence. If these cult-level enthusiastic fanboys had their way and their single gaming platform was the only one to rise out of the console war ashes then this golden age of gaming would die."
Yep
2.) "FANBOYS ARE OFTEN TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THEY’RE FANBOYS"
"Time and again you’ll see cases where a rampant and drooling fanboy will be calling out the other primal tribe all while being completely oblivious that he is part of the problem, not the solution. It makes it nearly impossible for a rational human being to comment or have an opinion without fear of a nerd attack."
Been there way to many times.
3.) "RESPONDING WITH FACTS AND LOGIC IS MET WITH IDIOCY AND REPETITIVENESS"
"Fanboys are often so wrapped up in their undying support for their priceless things that even when presented with compelling arguments full of facts, logic or charts and goddamn graphs they still refuse to let up on their bias. They will defend to the very death their chosen love and ignore anything and everything that says otherwise regardless of its validity."
"for hours on end with no actual factual information. It’s maddening to the educated gamer who is capable of engaging in thoughtful debate to see a thread taken over by a digital caveman."
Someones been keeping track of this site lately.
4.) REAL GAMERS JUST WANT GREAT GAMES
"If you’re a tried and true real gamer you might have a preference of which console you like most (I know I do) but you want to see everyone do well. The more great games that sell the more great games we’ll have in development. If everyone does well then you will have mountains upon mountains of amazing experiences just waiting for you to get your grubby gamer paws on."
That's the goal here is to keep the great games coming. All three will challenge each other but its us who wins and fanboys that lose because they're greedy.
"Sadly, in the mind of a dedicated fanboy, only Nathan (or Marcus, whatever, I’m not picking sides obviously) will have a chance to shine while the rest crumble at his feet. What a shame to see such narrow mindedness seep into a culture that truly relies on success across all mediums."
Its very sad to say the least. Fanboys want nothing more to see franchises crash on other systems so they can boast about theirs.
I hope fanboys learn and quit being selfish. Gaming is for everyone who picks up a controller. No matter the platform.
I don't think it's fair to say "fanboys" aren't "true gamers" and I don't think it's fair to imply that only true gamers hate "fanboys."
The fact of the matter is, almost everyone hates "fanboys", be it phones, gaming, electronics, music, TV or anything else where they exist. This is because you might like a company more than another (I personally prefer Sony to M$), but I still recognize that Sony isn't perfect and M$ / Nintendo are doing cool things too. The issues with "fanboys" is that they praise their features (be them better or worse), downplay other features, make excuses and find any reason to justify why they're right and you're wrong.
This sort of mentality discourages unity and makes debate pointless. Especially because these people are ill-informed or simply want to get a rise out of people. Sadly, I don't see this ever changing, but I would love to be proven wrong.

This is the holy grail of misunderstandings. When someone states they like one company or console over the other.
I don't paint a picture about someone when they state there preference. hTat's right PREFERENCE should always be assumed first. I paint a picture based off of somebodies tendency after they state what they like, if any at all.
Good tendencies , neutral tendencies or negative tendencies. On this site I see negativity towards another company after stating what console they like.
No such thing as a true gamer.
I think true gamers unfortunately fit this description in general ..."FANBOYS ARE OFTEN TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THEY’RE FANBOYS"
N4G is proof of that.
