Nice read. I follow alot of series but I know I don't blindly follow them. Like Final Fantasy, its one of may favorite gaming series of all time but I can say that I hated VIII, IX, and XI.

Megaman_nerd4491d ago

you hated some of the best FF games of all time but not FFX-2, FFIII or FFXIII?

versusALL4491d ago

I haven't played X-2 or III. But I did play XIII and I rather enjoyed it.

As a fan of Japanese games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Dragon Ball Z, Gundam & Chrono Trigger since NES to PS2 ... I am glad I have tried western made games like Uncharted 2 & Little Big Planet and oh boy, did I see the light!

Hallelujah Amen!

Fanboyism will never go extinct. millions of people will follow CoD cuz they like the series and it will give them a reward by the same game they still like but it just feels like they pay SO MUCH MONEY for the same game. I'll never understand why the community doesnt just asking for expansion packs and things of that nature... BF2 fanboys got burned this year with BF3 tho. They were hoping for something with as much depth and teamwork (w/o the need for entire organized teams) as BF2 and got so much less. UC3 and GoW3 fanboys got what they asked for generally even if the UC3 fanboys got a little let down by the storyline.

Who knows but fanboyism will never leave videogames ever.

I don't, i didn't buy Uncharted 3 because i don't want to spend 60$ on a 5 hours campaign, and i have zero interest in it's Multiplayer.

ziggurcat4491d ago

U3's campaign definitely isn't as long as the previous games, but it's certainly not a 5 hour campaign - unless you only play uncharted on very easy mode?

I wish more people would do this.

I hate seeing comments on N4G, Neogaf, and all over the internet like "I hated Fun Game 5, but I preordered Fun Game 6 so I hope it's good." Well, dumbass, if it's not, and Fun Game 7 sucks balls, you mostly have yourself to blame.

This applies to EVERY Cod gamer.
