I'm a fanboy apparently

I've recently sold my Xbox 360, making me a PS3 only gamer which I am happy about. I had my usual look on N4g and seen a thread showing two direct feed screen shots of infamous 2, to me they looked jaggy. I played infamous one and that game suffered from the same problem. Here's my exact comment

"very jaggy
like the first one"

Too me that is just my observation about the screen shots and infamous one. I'd love too no how I can be a 360 fanboy when I don't even own one. Its unbelievable that you can't have an opinion with out being labeled a fanboy. No wonder Sony fanboys have the worst reputation, even PS3 only gamers get attacked by them. I think you need to lighten up, I'm not going to name names but if you do read this I'm sure you no who you are. One of the reasons they gave me was that my TV wasn't good enough yet I think my Philips 32" LED 1080p TV has a stunning picture and shows all the little details so that can't be right. Or maybe I'm posing as a PS3 gamer, let the conspiracy theories comence. If you feel the need to check up on me my PSN ID is on my profile but if your lazy here it is, hennessey_86.

So how do you escape the fanboy name tag, I don't think its possible on this site. People are far too defensive when it comes to there gaming. The only way is to not have an opinion on anything and just try to please everybody but that won't happen because if you say a Ps3 games good the 360 fanboys will take your bubbles and vice versa. The best thing to do is not comment at all but thats the whole point to this site, gamers discussing there faviroute games and systems. They should split the site four ways, PS3 only, Xbox 360 only, pc only and gamers. I would join the gamers site, I love gaming and I like to game on as many systems as possible. The reason I sold my 360 is simple, Money. I'm a little skint at the minute and my PS3 is getting used alot more lately so it was a simple choice. I will be getting another one for the release of gears 3 and Forza 4 though. Which site would you join, I think its a good idea. There should be strict rules on trolling in the gamers section so we don't get any fanboys in there, just gamers looking to give there honest opinion on the subject at hand. The PS3 site would be PS3 gamers having a love in on how amazing there exclusives are and the same with the 360 site. PC gamers can compare specs, I know the love that kind of thing. I have left the wii out because I have never seen a Nintendo fan trolling anything.

[mightyles]

I had a similar thing when I commented on the number of times Killzone 3's online multiplayer crashed on me. Most of the replies were calling me a 360 fanboy, or saying I was lying. Then when one guy even found a video on youtube of the Killzone glitches and showed them, they tore him to pieces.

Sony fan boys are very defensive, and seem incapable of handling any sort of criticism. They're the worst of the bunch with their smugness and blind arogance - I mean, they act like the long download time for updates and forced installations are a good thing that other consoles should be envious of! :|

Maybe the whole PSN issue will teach them some humility.

[hennessey86]

i had the ordasity to say killzone 3 had some graphical problems in the beta and it was as if id burned the koran in a mosque.

[InLaLaLand]

Yeah the hit detection the K3 beta was annoying, it was annoying when it was still in the full game.

The framerate was quite bad in some areas in the beta and the full game (salamun market map).

[ian72]

@ Hennessey86
I saw that comment you made on inFamous 2 been jaggy. I saw the jaggies also, they weren't bad but were there.
I noticed all the comments like yours had more disagree's also. Some fanboys are just blind to things they don't like, and wont believe it, even though its plain to see.

[stevenhiggster]

I saw your comment too, it wasnt what you said but how you said it. You just said "Jaggy , Like the first one." It just came across like flamebait.
And anyway, it isn't jaggy like the first one. Jaggy yes, jaggy like the first one, no.
The first one, whilst being one of my favorite games, was a mess graphically. This one looks great, if not amazingly perfect. So no it's not like the first one at all.
I'm not gonna call anyone a fanboy, just dont word comments like flamebait as people just automatically go on the defensive.
Personally I'm a big believer of the old saying, "If you've got nothing good to say, dont say anything at all." It's the only way to avoid the wrath of one fanboy or another.

[Non_sequitur]

Many comments may be viewed as being fanboy inspired if not delivered with tact. It isn't that people don't believe problems exist with what they like. They may feel that you are belittling their opinions by bringing your observations, on minor issues, up in every article as a response to one of their comments of admiration. Your situation can only be worsened if you give a follow up comment whining about the amount of disagrees you received. Such comments only show that you have little respect for their right to disagree with you and they will respond by not respecting your comments by bubbling you down.

edit: You aren't a fanboy but constantly making a big deal over minor issues just annoys some people.

[pocketaces11]

@Non_sequitur I agree in the most part but the disagree button is the bane of my existence it's a complete cop out most of the time it's fanboys just disagreeing for no real reason. The disagree button should include some type of forced comment displayed to only me if necessary. 1) it might make me think twice before I make a dumb ass comment because I don't want to receive a tone of messages in my N4G message box and 2) I will at least know why someone disagrees with a comment I think is well thought out. 3) might help open my eyes to another view (hopefully people with a good alternate view are replying anyways but just an added point) 4) might make people think twice before they disagree for no reason especially if I could in turn take away bubbles for a dumb ass disagree

[Active Reload]

There is no remedy for the problem. I find that fanboys make the most delusional and irrational comments and get 50+ agrees and 5 disagrees, lol. People like that, I just hit the ignore button on them.

[rockleex]

First thing is to make sure your comments don't sound 1 sided.

If I go into a Halo article and say, "Very colorful... like Kinectimals." I would be labelled as a PS3 fanboy trying to troll.

Now is Halo colorful? Yes. But I could have stated it better so it doesn't sound like a jab at the franchise.

How you say something can totally detract from any merits your comment may have.

[kane_1371]

I think you people are forgetting one thing, the only reason Ps3 fanboys are so brutal is because of 360 faboys, until 2009, for 3 years 360 fanboys bashed the crap out of them, so now it is their revenge!

[QuodEratDemonstrandm]

"InFamous 2 will be released on June 7"

"Diablo 3 is currently in development"

"Doctor Who is available on Netflix streaming"

Stating the obvious right? Simple statements of plainly obvious facts have gotten disagrees. I think some of these people, most likely a small minority, are hitting the disagree button just for the giggles.

Or, as with the InFamous 2 statement, they're fanboys who disagree with any statement that has to do with the "wrong" system.

[dantesparda]

the truth is that everybody on site is a fanboy of some degree or another. Everybody (well almost everybody) on this site acts like things are black and white and everybody is a completely and other douche about. That includes 360, ps3 and pc fanboys. And to Henessey if you had made a similar comment about the 360 you would have gotten the same kind of response from the 360 fanboys. You's are all a bunch of hypocrits. And i love how pompous you's are all acting about it. Just listen to yourselves. Everybody on this site thinks they are right and that their opnion is so right and great. So give it a rest. You's are all fanboys, or haters or just completely and utter assholes

[Godmars290]

Welcome to the club! I too am a 360 fanboy who only owns a PS3.

And sorry, but PS3-only or 360 only sites never work. They just foment fanboyism. The members either eventually taking their reinforced mindsets to other sites, or become the perfect thin skinned targets of trolls - or worse - someone raising an honest concern.

[kyl277]

Same here, got a gaming PC and a PS3 and somehow I'm on MS's payroll and telling me that Gears 3 will be crap will annoy me.

Lost a bubble defending Nintendo's decision to only have 8GB of flash memory, some of what I said was incorrect as I misread the guy's post but all those trolling votes lost me a bubble.

Send a PM to 2 mods, never got a response.

[Bear_Grylls]

No point ever going to the mods.

[mastiffchild]

@Godmars-thing is I've noticed a lotof the print mags which only deal with ONE platform have been UBER fair to the "other" systems this generation. OPMUK is a case in point. they don't guarantee a big sony release a 10/10 and never savage the opposition even going on to praise the Halo, Gears and, before they went to PS3, the ME and DR games too. Christ, they even give Molyneux page space!!

To me, in real life people are fair and this madness is happing solely online. If the print publications can be grown up why not all the sites and their mods?

As someone who, though I game MOST on my PS3, has stuck up for EVERY system at one time or another(and knocked them all inc PS3)and been called out as a fanboy of ALL and a troll of ALL systems online and never in real life I can totally, 100% tell you all it's just the net doing this. The anonymous(Christ has a word EVER had it's meaning abused recently)nature and the bravery it breeds among idiots allied to the lack of tone in text arguments leads to all this. If you could tell the tone of "voice" a post was written in hardly anyone would get offended and real trolls ignored. As for the sites perpetuating this: I have no answer except don't go there.

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

tahts just crazy. I lost my bubbels talking about PSN outage in a perfectly normal matter. I even said Im not mad nor do I really care that much, but I think sony is not helping themselves in the PR department. Repeating the "we didnt know the extent" line in every statement they make isnt helping them much, but even that made people mad.

[Just_The_Truth]

i believe it's that your comment came off as you wanting the game to be jaggy why not say it looks jaggy but also mention that they games not even released and that those pictures aren't from an official source. you've been on this site long enough to understand that if you say something negative about a exclusive there's going to backlash don't play the victim you raced to be the first comment just for this effect.

[Tachyon_Nova]

So basically you are demanding that he concedes that the issue will probably fixed when it most likely won't seeing as they didn't for the first game?

I see hennessay's comments every so often and it is clear that he owns a PS3 and isn't a troll. Why would he want to recieve backlash for his opinion. Only a troll would want that as trolls thrive of fanboys who take things to seriously.

hennessay, you are absolutely right. It is ridiculous how you are denied the right to have an opinion unless of course your opinion is that all upcoming PS3 exclusives are 10/10 and that all Xbox games are 1/10 if that. Get real fanboys, its pathetic.

[--------]

He hasn't been denied anything. He's annoyed, big deal. There are fanboys. Deal with it.

If you word your comments properly like some users on N4G then you've got a well structured opinion.

People rarely disagree with those guys, because they convey their opinions in a mature and calm manner.

I just lost a bubble for saying "Hopefully the people who Disagree(d) with you get their identities stolen in some manner and are tortured every day by it...maybe then they'll stop being so ignorant and immature."

On a PS3 hacker article. Should've thought about re wording that one shouldn't I?

[outwar6010]

lol i have both consoles and whenever i voice my opinions i get called a fanboy. I lost 2 bubbles for saying halo was better than gears of war all uber psycho fanboys are subdivided amongst games too.
btw do you think that your choices from your infamous 1 save will transfer to part 2

[--------]

If your opinion is that Halo is better than Gears that's fine.

But saying just that is going to piss off all the Gears fans who don't like Halo. Bubbles = gone. I think that makes sense.

And I doubt it, but it would be a nice feature. It's the mission creator I can't wait for.

[outwar6010]

i bought part 2 didnt like it and the online was horrendous and i bought it like 2 years after it came out WTF lol halo has never given me any problems in terms of online

[Redempteur]

i game on everything i'm hardly a fanboy and i've lost a bubble already but One comment doesn't TAG you as a fanboy here ...

why don't you just say what you want to say and not try to prove or force your opinion ..

he think he was jaggy .. so YES and then what ? Even after the explanation , screw that AND move along ..was that necessary to prove that infamous was jaggy on your tv set ?

maybe you're not a fanboy but that was acting like one ..
I say what i want to say , maybe i can clarify my comment but i move on afterwards ...

also maybe if people didn't have jaggies with infamous , the reason you might have one is something else maybe ?. i mean isn't there lot of thing to try before going into the fanboy debate ?

[andron]

Many people aren't that bothered with jaggies. If they are not to severe I personally don't think they are a big problem. Screen tear and frame rate issues are what I notice the most.

Still no reason to loose a bubble over, but it matters how you handle it too...

[hennessey86]

frame rate and screen tear are bigger problems, on my tv jaggies show up so bad, ive tried everything in the settings. when a game has got decent aa it looks amazing but when its jaggy it seems to get exaggerated on my tv so I tend to look out for it before I buy a game.

[blackburn10]

I agree. It's amazing how everyone is so sensitive. Since I have been on this site all I have heard is 'Sony fanboys are so sensitive' but all of you are sensitive. Look at Wii owners. They pretend they are so level headed and thick skinned but just say anything negative about a game on their system and prepare to get PMed with a long lecture about the subject. Last year someone got all up in arms because Yatzee said bad things about Epic Mickey and started raving saying a Nintendo exclusive is better then all Sony's exclusives combined.

My point is gamers are all the same. You pretend to be better then the other guy but just criticise anything you want to be good and you get all pissy and b***hy about it. And even worse are the people like you hennessey86 who insist on saying something negative and cry and moan because everyone doesn't like or agree with what you say. So what if you saw jaggies in early pictures of IF2? So what if your called a fanboy? Move on.

[rob6021]

It's amazing that you get disagrees. That somehow we're very different people, and one group of fans is superior than the other and one group of fans is more irrational than the other. We're a lot more alike than you may realize.

It's usually a sign that a person doesn't have a lot of ground to argue about when they resort to personal attacks against a group of people rather than the arguments themselves. If they have been wronged by one individual that made a comment they didn't like blame the person not everyone we associate them with.

People that say 'x' fanboy group is better than 'y' fanboy group never serve a constructive purpose.

[Baka-akaB]

"No wonder Sony fanboys have the worst reputation, even PS3 only gamers get attacked by them. I think you need to lighten up"

This is a recurring part that annoy me . It's the same thing on the 360 side too .

It's funny how n4g is always painted as a ps3 haven , given the crap article that get approved for both consoles , the reaction for both , and the same troll profil for both .

Both consoles got a one-two bubbles rabid squad and always had .

Numbers fluctuated ? so what ? most of the time they didnt even care and followed the bashing trend :

-PS3 has no games
-ps3 is dying
-Lolz RROD
-Lolz YLOD
-360 = Piracy
-Wii got no games , or they dont sell if non-nintendo
- Lolz PS3 hacked
-360 has no games
-Die sony die for our freedom
-die pirate scum
-Wii has even less games
-HAHAHA PSN

And let's not forget the " consoles sux , pc is everything , consoles is ruining them etc" squad...

This is basically n4g in a nutshell since at least 08-09 ...

[andron]

Extreme fanboys on both sides are just as bad as each other. There is no talking sense to them, so why even try. Ignoring them is the best option.

But there is a problem here on N4G insofar that any criticism is taken as a fanboy statement no matter how correct or even if it's just a personal opinion. Even more sensible N4G'ers get sucked in and sides with the fanboy side they are more inclined towards often.

Annoying, but I try to not let it influence my commenting...

[Istanbull]

True dat bro, true dat. Only Xbox fanboys would say "ps3 fanboys are the worst", since its always the xbox fanboys complaining about everything PlayStation.

[creatchee]

PS3 fanboys are worse than 360 fanboys for one reason and one reason only - entitlement.

They were on top of the world when the PS2 was the highest selling console of the generation. When the 360 came out, even before the RROD controversy, they were vehement in claiming that the console would fail and that "better graphics didn't matter" - an ironic statement considering their current position on graphics.

Fast forward to today, and the PS3 is STILL in third place after almost 6 years on the market. Sony fanboys would have you believe that it is only because of a headstart, which may or may not be true. But the fact remains, if the PS3 was such an overwhelmingly better system, wouldn't it have overcome the 360's headstart in those six years? Or even sooner?

But the point is, this is the world of Sony fanboy arguments. They no real logic to them (except that the 360 is horrible and the PS3 was forged by a god) and it changes to fit in with the current news of the day.

One day graphics don't mean anything, and the next they are paramount - especially when comparing a multiplatform game.

In the past, reviews and awards were only bought and didn't represent quality, until a game's aggregate review scores and multiple game of the year awards magically made it the best of all time.

Sales were never a big deal until a multiplat sold like 20 more copies on the PS3. Or Japan's sales were HUGE (relatively). Or the whole "US is not the world" (stupid) argument.

The mindset of the Sony fanboy is twisted around in a different manner than 360 or other fanboys due to the entitlement aspect from last generation. XBOX fanboys are still up and coming in terms of being on top of things (not counting the Wii), so their arguments are more typical - mindless drudge that you would expect from a fanboy of any other imaginable thing.

tl;dr Sony fanboys are worse because they are "spoiled brats".

[DelbertGrady]

"since its always the xbox fanboys complaining about everything PlayStation"

That's the problem. Sony fanboys, like yourself, label anyone who criticizes anything Sony related as an Xbox/MS fanboy when in reality they might be proud PS3 owners who still have a mind of their own.

[NeverEnding1989]

lol. The fanboys of both sides are terrible, but Sony's fanboys are far worst, for reasons Creatchee stated.

As for the blog...it's not worth it hennessy. People can't let single comments effect them like this. Ignore the stupid people:)

[theonlylolking]

Same here. I was called a fanboy when I said gears 3 has no AA(before digital foundry said so).

[hennessey86]

It is so annoying not being able to voice my own opinion and this is the reaction you get

djreplay + 21h ago
* Joins in with Focker popping hennessey86's bubbles

This is so pathetic im sure you would agree

[mastiffchild]

Well, yeh, as I know I can't aways tell, for sure, what sort of way a comment is meant(because you only have so much space it's easy to either bore people or remain vague and risk bubble rape)-it's why my comments drag on-I don't WANT taking the wrong way and it's way too easy when people WANT to take things that way anyway!

I'm rarely one to bubble anyone down(done it about three times I can recall and usually cos someone's calling people names)and it's appalling when a group gets going on you for a mistaken, ill read comment.

[extermin8or]

I agree although I have an issue with those images, having the beta on my ps3, moving or standing still I haven't seen anything as extreme as those pictures showed although the game does seem to jutter if say you blast a massive crowd of civilians and cars, sure its just a bug they will fix though

[AtomicGerbil]

While I agree that fanboys are an issue on this site I wouldn't call any the worst as they are all as bad as each other, Sony fanboys could be seen as the worst, but only because there appears to be more anti Sony articles.

There are some Wii fanboys out there, I remember them surfacing in all the GT5 and LBP articles getting all nuts about Mario.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Lol Welcome to N4g Front Page Hennessey. If you don't post positive only remarks, you are a fanboy. If you do not enjoy a game, you are a fanboy.

It's simple equation once you understand it.

[CernaML]

Actually, positive only remarks and enjoying certain games will still label you a fanboy. LOL

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

I like both 360 and PS3, People dont like it if your opinion is anything other saying everything they like is perfect or the best. And since they feel that about what they got, they hate anything positive you say about the one they dont like.

The hate for the other system is the problem really, why hate something that you dont use anyways? I dont have wii but I sure dont hate it, I would be happy to play some games on it if I had one.

I kinda lame that people cant understand an opinion even when its totally valid, but thats part of this site and it does keep things interesting at least. The only thing that your safe criticizing on here is 3rd party or maybe nintendo sometimes.

Ive owned all the playstations and xboxes, none of them have been perfect, dont tell the fanboys tho.

edit- ALSO, a FULL 1080P TV that is only 32 inches will be one of the sharpest pictures available. All those pixels in a smaller area will look very sharp if you dont sit super close. I actually plan on getting a 32 inch, 1080P TV for NEXT GEN as the games will be full 1080P and in that small area it will look very sharp even from close. I think that many pixels in that smaller area is overkill, and I really like that. next gen the games will look awesome on a 32' 1080P TV.

I like that part "They should split the site four ways, PS3 only, Xbox 360 only, pc only and gamers." The only owners would be very butthurt about that and would pretend to have all systems so they can complain about stuff.

There used to be a "gamer zone" and "open zone" that was sweet, but Im guessing moderating that would be a full time job with the fanboys on here LOL.

[KillerPwned]

Same thing happens to me i enjoy everything and of course everything has its pros and cons. This gen the PS3 is my favorite. But i get labeled a fanboy for a specific console based upon my opinion. It is just how the gamer community works. I recently seen some mean stuff that made me disgusted in the gamer community. People where bashing this kid with cancer that went through make a wish foundation and gamestop gave him a PS3 with a bunch of games. People where saying he wont live long enough to enjoy the PS3 or PSN. Also other stuff like what a waste of a wish.

Being labeled a fanboy is no big deal let people get stressed in the end they our only hurting their bodies. This may just be society to as we see it. Not just the gamer community. But from times 10 years ago to now the community has really taken a turn for the worst.

This is N4G this is how things run. Just gotta learn to ignore it and enjoy the site for the news it provides plus the forums are awesome!

[JD_Shadow]

I don't own a 360...PS3 and Wii (used to own a 360. Couldn't be bothered by it because I was not playing it).

I've defended the PS3 for years, but that doesn't mean I haven't called Sony out on things in the past.

But the second I even say Geohot or Anonymous in a sentence, it's on, apparently. I don't even support Anon's ways here, but I think Geohot was justified. Is that wrong to say here. I never did support the hacker that took down PSN, but you couldn't tell by the people who respond to attack me whenever I say that Sony was asleep at the wheel or anything like that. Why am I a troll or am taking a hacker's side when I do that? I have no problem with people disagreeing, but at least have some sanity about it.

So yeah, I've seen this happen. And this site has tons of the extremist fanboys on both sides who are not afraid to show it.

And people wonder why I get stressed out here.

[rob6021]

The geohot and anonymous thing is a sensitive issue to many people on here, many of us were the victim of a CRIME.

People will be upset about that, it might not be fair that it was directed at you; but you must realize where people are coming from.

[Captain Tuttle]

If you're stressed out I wonder why you keep coming back.

[JD_Shadow]

Probably the same reason why most of us do (and I have an account on Neogaf): because there is, at the moment, no other alternative to a site like this. There's really no legit competition that has the features that N4G does. This is why nothing changes around here: why bother when they have no where else that can do the things this site can do?

Thing is, I've wanted to for some time, and I've looked around to see the ways they do things like the temp system and whatnot, and it seems as though they hide all those things so no one can find out...my guess it they don't WANT anyone to be able to compete with them (I would love to start a site that has the features this one does, and I know a good bit about making sites). I think competition is always good, so I think N4G would be good to think about making something happen so that everyone can share in on the wealth of design knowledge that N4G has.

That and why leave when you know you could fix something...and when you think you're correct on your facts.

@rob6021: I think many people were getting the wrong idea as to what Geohot actually did because it got so lost in the hysteria and outright lies about what it actually did along with how the fanboy legion rushed to the defense. I don't think he intended to cause piracy or cheating, but create something that let you do things that the PS3 wasn't capable of doing out of the box that Sony didn't put into the system. There's a lot of particulars as to whether it enabled things or if it was online or offline or what, but I don't think he was TRYING to harm Sony.

I don't think many here can recall the battles Napster had with Metallica and how it led to all the issues the RIAA has now with its rep whenever it sues someone. Fair use is always in jeopardy because corporations have NEVER liked that law (the more revenue resources they have, whether they need them or not, the better), or how Sony continuously patched the PSP anytime someone enabled you to play games Sony didn't want you to play on their system. I don't know WHY Sony is THAT determined on stopping anyone from homebrewing with any of their systems, but as long as its fanboys continue to treat Sony's word like the gospel, it will never change. Anonymous is a weird subject because one minute they are the cause of everything, the next they didn't cause a single thing, and the next they're somewhere in between. It's like no one can really agree or decide on what they really think about that.

And even if it was a sensitive topic, which it shouldn't be (Hotz modded the PS3 and shared the info. He didn't commit a second 9/11), does that give users any right to backstab, question someone's humanity, or whatnot?

[NyGiants7]

The top of the site should have a banner that says "Welcome to N4G, Land of the Sony fanboy!" Totally agree, there's not even a point in commenting with anything negative against Sony or PS3.

EDIT: And I completely agree about Infamous 2 looking a bit jaggy. The first was a bit jaggy too but what game doesn't have some of them.

[Silly gameAr]

Where have you been for the past few weeks? Do you close your eyes when you see any other fanboy and only pay attention to the PS3 ones, or just pretend other fanboys don't exist?

You know what I think? Certain fanboys get sensitive when they see a rival fanboy of their favorite piece plastic and whine about it to no end. That's why you see more post about people talking about fanboys then the games they like to play.

Oh, and I remember a number of hennessy's post, and he's not as innocent as he let's on.

[NyGiants7]

I don't really care about fanboys, I barley see any xbox ones on here and I don't even think the Wii ones exist lol.

It's just that you can post a comment like "This PS3 exclusive game doesn't look that great because there's a lot of glitches" and you'll get 1,000 disagrees and comments saying "No your an idiot that game is perfect! PS3 4 teh winz!"

[Silly gameAr]

Well, I do see that a lot, but I also see that for xbox and Nintendo games. Say something wrong about Halo or Super Mario and see if you don't catch a tongue lashing, not that I have anything against Halo or Mario. I actually enjoy those quite a bit.

[Megaton]

I've been called both a 360 fanboy and a PS3 fanboy, even though I don't own either one anymore and do all my gaming on PC. I call it like I see it, plain and simple. If you don't kiss the mob's ass they get confused and try to peg you as a member of a certain side.

[Bathyj]

I dont agree PS3 fanboys are the worst.

They are probably the most defensive, and thats because they cop the most crap.

Theres never been a machine as hunted as the PS3, even a year before it was out, XB fanboys were trying to make sure it was stillborn.

So by that rational I say they were the worst. They made this stinking fanboy war what it is. It was never this bad in any other generation.

The only reason people can claim PS3 fanboys are worse now is just because there is more of them, and have a louder voice. Alot of XB FB's have fled cause they were losing or been converted and seen the light, realising its hard to pretend your a gamer while ignoring PS3's line up of stellar games. Doesnt make the ones that linger any less obnoxious.

Most the time, a group of PS3 fans, left alone will just talk about PS3. But then when are they ever just left alone?

[Active Reload]

FANBOY ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[thorstein]

I think it stems from the absurd amount of utter BS at every little thing that happens to the PS3 that makes headlines. Remember when the date was set incorrectly for daylight savings time or whatever and the headlines (yes, headlines) said things like "ApocolyPS3" and the problem only lasted 24 hours. It was like the Xbots had that name on reserve just waiting to use it.

Then there are all sorts of lame BS (Killzone 2 supposed controller lag, which didn't exist and was debunked.) Look at the current sitch. How much misinformation is out there? And some reputable sites were duped into printing articles that were completely erroneous.

I hate the fanboy wars. And they really only seem prevalent right here on N4G. There are other sites I frequent that I won't name because the people there are fun to be around and I don't want a ton of fanboyism to come and screw it up.

The console wars appear only to be argued here on N4G. But I get the PS Fanboy stance because Xbots are relentless with their attacks: as if it changes anything.

I am a Dreamcast fanboy until the end.

All fanboys are complete, retarded wastes of bandwidth.

I'm surprised no one ever brought up the massive hypocrisy from 360 fanboys during the whole Crysis 2 debacle. How does it make sense to poke fun at the PS3 fanboys for not getting the first Mass Effect game on the PS3 and then go and praise Crysis 2 for supposedly having better graphics on the 360 just a few months later? Why was the fact that Crysis 1 would never be available for the 360 ever brought up? Oh, because that didn't matter. They had better graphics. But better graphics and more content didn't matter for Mass Effect 2 PS3 apparently. Not having the first game mattered.
