What I Hate About Fanboys Part 1

Jimmy the Greek writes, "Projection is a psychological term used to refer to the tendency of somebody to cast (project) their shortcomings onto someone else. I'm not calling you, Mr. Reader a fanboy, but if you read "screw Mario" or "screw Master Chief" or "I'd like to shove my friend's faulty Sony receiver up Howard Stringer's ass" and your blood boiled, you're a fanboy..."

Can't Stand Fanboys.. they take everything that is good and ruin it with their a$$ kissing and retarded remarks on other systems good products..

bgrundman5695d ago

Amen, it drives me nuts having to listen to it.

Jimmy the Greek5695d ago

i write hate every single week and it really brings the fanboys out like when you turn off the lights in a seedy restaurant. all the roaches decide to emerge from their hiding places and sh!t on everything.

Wiinsight5695d ago

Perhaps your opinion would change should you find a system worth pledging undying loyalty to! I'd try out the Wii first, you'll score more points with the ladies.

bgrundman5695d ago

When fanboys unite, it can be a scary event. The trick is finding a way to appeal to everybody.

bgrundman5695d ago

frequently a smelly group too... Just kidding! Don't flame me.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5695d ago

They have no sense of loyalty. This is a console war. In a war you choose a side. Those caught in the middle (like you) are just in the way and will most likely get attacked from both sides. I'd respect an xbot before i respect a non fanboy. Saying that both consoles are equal when that is clearly not the case. Move...get out of the way, shut the heck up and let US handle this war.

Jimmy the Greek5695d ago

in a console "war," as you so eloquently put it, the only casualties are the gamers. you can say sega lost the war so long ago but their loss has trickled down to the gamers with every single sub par title theyve released since they declared bankruptcy.

bgrundman5695d ago

Thats true, but in a war, there is no chance at resolution without levelheaded mediators... People so often forget that.

Jimmy the Greek5695d ago

wow that was very insightful bgrundman. i hadnt even thought about that

bgrundman5695d ago

well even the blind squirrel can find a nut once and a while! :)

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5695d ago

However not completely true. There is another way to resolve a war. And that is to completely and utterly destroy the opponent.

If it sounds like I'm a war fanatic its because i am. My fanboy roots go deeper than just the war sony and microsoft are having lol.

killyourfm5695d ago

You're an idiot. That is all. No defensive posturing necessary.

Jimmy the Greek5695d ago

touche man, touche. you presented your point in a very intelligent manner and i totally respect that even though i dont completely agree with you.

PooEgg5695d ago

It's just that non-fanboys care more about games then systems. Love your system as much as you want to but don't go crying your eyes out each time you lose an exclusive to your rival, because its your own fault you won't get to play it because your being a stubborn fool.

If it weren't for fanboys I wouldn't get many laughs from gaming websites

cheapndirty5695d ago

Would not have any posts if it were not for the fanboy rhetoric. Well, maybe a few. There are a few people on this sight that are restrained in their opinions.

PooEgg5695d ago

I agree, the fanboys here on N4G make my day.

bgrundman5695d ago

Which fanboys are the worst Nintendo, Xbox or PlayStation?

Jimmy the Greek5695d ago

nintendo, hands down, though theyre less likely to track you down and stab you at your house

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5695d ago

The wii is selling crazy but its about quality not quantity. The idea of the wii competing with the xbox and ps3 in terms of quality is laughable at best.

bgrundman5695d ago

Careful... they might try to find out where you live. You can find anything on the internet nowadays. I would watch your back making statements like that!

Jimmy the Greek5695d ago

the wii isnt on the same field as the ps3 and xbox. depends on who you talk to if that field is higher or lower

Jimmy the Greek5695d ago

lord knows how many people ive tracked down and killed online.

Wiinsight5695d ago

Definitely xbox fanboys. Because while they may try to break into your house to stab you, solving puzzles like picking the lock and turning off the alarm would definitely not be their strong point.

Jimmy the Greek5695d ago

holy sh!t, thats the funniest thing ive seen all week

Pretty good list. Botany Manor would be the newest addition that encapsulates that title.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.

It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.

GamerRN30d ago

It's because it's on Xbox. When Xbox has amazing graphics, they don't matter. When PlayStation does, it's a game changer!

Lightning7730d ago

Pretty much my thoughts. They were technical marvel's on PS and still are. The moment Xbox puts out a graphically intense game is doesn't matter suddenly.

4 years ago this month would the UE5 tech demo debut with the girl flying (tech demo said it was only possible on PS5 because of the SSD. Glad to finally see it in its glory.

fr0sty30d ago

FFS, gaming journalism has really gone downhill. At least hire people with a basic grasp of grammar... "Me neither" means the exact opposite of what the "author" is trying to say. That's like saying "I could care less"... lol.

S2Killinit30d ago

Maybe because the gameplay being dull allowed it to have the amazing graphics and people are not as impressed by graphics alone anymore? I mean there is a lot of sites saying the story and the gameplay are lackluster. So what are we supposed to enjoy then? Cgi graphics are beautiful but since they arent interactive, they dont impress me as much as they used to. Thats an extreme example, but you get my drift.

Terry_B30d ago

When Playstation (Sony) does it..its usually a great game and not a cinematic experience..or at least something new at the time..like Until Dawn back in 2015.

1Victor30d ago

@gamer:” It's because it's on Xbox. When Xbox has amazing graphics, they don't matter. When PlayStation does, it's a game changer!”

The game looks as good as any other PlayStation game in my eyes why can’t you and the other hardcore Xbox be happy about it and drag PlayStation into every conversation and force PlayStation hardcore to look into the game and find flaw that most games have in one way or another.
@light: “ 4 years ago this month would the UE5 tech demo debut with the girl flying (tech demo said it was only possible on PS5 because of the SSD. ”
Yes at that time it was only possible on PlayStation SSD how ignorant of you to think that after 4 years the technology wouldn’t evolved and move to a industry standard 🤦🏿I wish your mentality wasn’t so naive and narrow to post stuff like that 😩 in a year or 2 a new game will come out that might look better, it’s the nature of the industry.

Now that the distraction is gone I feel that is a good thing that the graphics in games are starting to hit the rooftop and hopefully the developers will put more thoughts into story and gameplay mechanics than just the next shiny oily skin of old.

Reaper22_30d ago

So true. Not surprised by all the negativity. It's a really good game and looks better than any game I've ever seen. GOTY nominee for sure. Like I said before, sony screwed up big time by not purchasing Ninja Theory.

Asplundh30d ago

Pretty much. It's like how the Switch and Steam controller using haptic feedback in their controllers wasn't a big deal but then Sony did it and it was then a "game changer".

fr0sty30d ago

The game runs at as low as 21fps... That isn't much to brag about no matter how good it looks.

We've had graphical gamechangers before, such as Crysis but those games still had gameplay to compliment it. Hellblade pretty much has none, and only achieved such graphics through being incredibly linear and having very small, closed off environments where very little is happening.

Vx_30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

GFX does not mean anything if the game is boring. It is simple like that and these major companies need to understand this simple concept.

Games are like your lady, she may be beautiful to look at for a while but then it gets boring if her character isn't interesting and fun to be with.

Horizon forbidden West has great graphics and great gameplay

GamerRN30d ago

Yeah but graphics don't matter, remember?

anast30d ago

@RN

I've been pretty consistent in saying that we need both.

GamerRN28d ago

So until dawn, too human, or whatever those series of games were... Graphic masterpieces it garbage with no gameplay?

VincentVanBro30d ago

I agree and I actually think Forbidden West looks better than Hellblade 2. I easily prefer looking at it at least.

Sonic188130d ago

It does look better in my opinion as well. I don't know why it looks better but there's something about the Decima engine or that guerrilla games is using tricks that we don't know of

Abear2130d ago

Can you fly a mount under water in Hellblade 2? I think not! One of the best moments this Gen
