Everybody hates them, no one is willing to admit that they might actually be one and generally speaking they are the most annoying thing in modern gaming. The dreaded fanboy comes in many forms and here’s our personal top 4 hated ‘really passionate fans’.
"30XX is one of the best roguelikes out there, combining the tight platforming action of the Mega Man X series with the challenge and randomization that roguelike fans crave. Batterystaple Games has done lots of refinement through updates since 30XX first appeared on Steam Early access a few years ago. The latest such update adds a new character for free, one who combines the best attributes of the two existing characters. Also, the Steam version is on sale, making it a great time to travel to the distant year of 30XX!" says Co-Optimus.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
You don't get numbers like that from MS mouth pieces, they just like to say stuff like "this game was looked at 129 million time, the biggest amount of people browsing a game of this genre on xbox gamepass ever in the last 3 weeks compared to before gamepass was out (small print only 2 million bothered playing longer than 20 seconds and only 100 people are playing it concurrently)
It's all smoke and mirrors
There are usually around 10,000 concurrent users on Steam not counting Xbox or PS but really it doesn't matter as long as there are enough people on the servers to play which there always were and will be for a long time now with the PS players coming on board. Same goes for how many people bought it and how many are on GP, we aren't the accountants of these console companies so why would we care?
Reporting on MAU stats is very misleading. Other companies publish units sold, MS cannot or will not due to Game Pass. We all know that their prior startegies have not panned out so now they have to actually sell games on other consoles. In any case, SoT is doing impressive preorders on PS5 and will very likely motivate Satya to release more games other than the four indicated games on their competitor's consoles. Take note Phil is radio silent....
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
I would say Sony fanboys are the worst. Of course it could just be because this site is infested with them.lol
I would say the Kingdom Hearts, Dark Souls, and Metal Gear fanbases,
-kingdom hearts fans love to spread fanwank everywhere, and attack anyone who doesn't understand the very poorly written and convoluted plot. I like kingdom hearts to death but for gods sake it's not that good of a plot.
-Dark Souls fanbase literally will gang up and cyberbully ANYONE who even dares to post a video of themselves playing the game and having fun instead of taking it extremely seriously. It annoys gamers like myself even more when we're part of those fanbases. I like spent 100 hours playing DS1 and completed it but that doesn't mean that I have to attack people who don't take it seriously, especially when the plot is barely explained in the actual game.
-Metal Gear fans also love to spread their fanwank everywhere. God forbid someone mistakes Big Boss for Solid Snake or doesn't understand the plot. Or better yet, god forbid someone doesn't think that it's one of the best plots ever despite all the times Kojima blatantly ignores simple storytelling principles. There's even a LP'er who gets attacked daily although he beat the games, he didn't take the plot seriously and criticized some antiquated elements of the gameplay. They have even gone so far as to recently pay the trademark fee to trademark his youtube name and are attempting to sue him to get his channel taken down. $100 for the false trademark and then whatever fee it costs to get a lawyer for a false copyright that he doesn't own, all this effort to shut a gaming channel because someone didn't take metal gear seriously....think about that for a second.
Seriously, this kinda behavior is the reason why some talented developers don't even want to make games anymore. A good majority of gamers are toxic people and we really need to change as a community if we're going to even pretend like video games are a comparable entertainment medium to films and novels.
Sony, Nvidia, PC and probably xbox in that order
based on frequency and annoyance
Gen 1 pokemon fanboys are the worst. Go to youtube and you will see every Pokemon video plagued with Gen 1 fanboys saying tgat pokemon has gone downhill since then.
"Microsoft fans will frequently berate the PlayStation for lacking exclusives or the online support they crave"
Playstation LACKING EXCLUSIVES! LMAO! since when?
