Gamers - Is It So Hard to Be Quiet and Just Have Fun?

I find it so interesting as to how so many gamers come on the Net every single day to rant and rave about their console of choice. I mean, seriously. The way some of them go up in arms and preach about their favorite console/company honestly would make you think that they have some family attachment to it.

Is that guy in the picture taking a dump?

a symbolic dump

Gamers - Is It So Hard to Be Quiet and Just Have Fun?

Not when xbox fanboys act like 12 year olds and post rubbish which shows they dont have a clue what they are talking about.

. . .

*shakes head*

[Snookies12]

Xbox fanboys? I think you mean fanboys in general, whether they're Xbox, Sony, Nintendo, PC, Mobile, etc. They all act like 12 year old spoiled brats that can't have fun unless they can justify their console purchase by putting others down about theirs.

[Ravenor]

I didn't realize stupidity was platform exclusive.

[Max-Zorin]

I wish. Unfortunately gamers today are like wasps. They attack you just for the hell of it.

[hay]

Nah, it's just retarded thinking doing that. Ever seen agressive footbal fans beating out other team fans? Similar antagonism.
"My choice is better than yours! Eat sh*t!"

I'd say it's a fear of creating new synaptic links in one's brain. It opens to stuff, you know, and that's a one way road, forward.

[Bubbamilk]

That's not true!!! Wasps benefit this world and are productive creatures.

I've never seen a wasp spend all day on a couch crying about nothing

We are lucky to be alive because that wasp would be a dead wasp!!!

Yeah I do not understand why so many people these days have to hate on others who do not share their same views and interests. This is a great time for all gamers, so lets just have fun and enjoy the games!

Man I don't remember any of this s#!t in the Sega/Nintendo days!

[JohnnyTower]

You must be too young then. I remember when mortal kombat had blood in the sega versions and not the snes. People tripped the F out.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Oh I'm 29 I was there since my dad got me on Intelevision! I remember the MK fiasco but it was only a blip on the radar! It didn't create all out war between the consoles though! I loved Sega and never owned a SNES! But if you look back SNES wiped the floor with Sega when it came to games provided!

[CrossingEden]

Apparently it is, i've seen so many users say "i'm off this site as soon as the ps4 comes out" and those same people have become even more aggressive and trollish despite having new ps4s. You'd think they'd devote all their time to it instead of attacking people like me on a daily basis.

[Dragonborn312]

Yeah it is so true.

[Yep]

Depends where you go. Places like here won't be void of fanboys.

[kewlkat007]

The Ps4 is out but looking at this site and the comments in the threads you would think otherwise..

[Hicken]

Yeah, cuz all PlayStation fans would just stop checking N4G because of the new console, right?

So, by that token, half these MS fans should be gone once the XB1 hits shelves, right?

[Saints94]

Ah yes.

Let's take an example of sports fans... They never have fights.

I don't understand why people act like this only happens with video games.

[Hicken]

Because people are stupid and love making examples that don't work, and ignoring examples that do.

Every other hobby has its fanboys, and they can all get a little out of hand. It's not all that bad, and actually shows the health of the hobby is strong if there are more such people.

For some reason I can't figure out either, though, gaming journalists(a term I'll use loosely probably for years) and a few gamers with them have decided that gaming is too immature as a community. So they're holding us to standards we're not held to when we go to sporting events and curse each other out with the kids two seats over.

I dunno how it works, but it works. Well, I dunno if it WORKS, but it happens.

[for we are many]

That's what I've been saying for ages, be Less of an Analyst\Fanboy and more of a gamer. Everything has relative advantages and disadvantages and we all have our favorites but lets not always get our EGOs to clash for bragging rights; although it might be natural for certain character types to love flaming and act as a troll, but even those know deep down inside that their ideas are conflicting and they themselves are easily fallible and that what they are doing is fruitless. Happy gaming folks!
