The Beginners Guide to Being an Xbox Fanboy

Gamezine:

"Gamezine's Chris Capel teaches us how to be a good Microsoft and Xbox fanboy. Perhaps "good" is not the right word. Convincing might fit the bill. The Tingler teaches us how to be a convincing Xbox fanboy."

...:D

Sorry.

CViper5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

** when faced with having to name game titles that are superior to PS3 titles it is advisable that you stand up and state that graphics don't matter. This can be used even if you were just bragging about how much better graphics are on the 360. Of course clearly you understood that everyone knows graphics weren't the only thing of importance when stating that Gears2 is the graphics king, but now when its questioned. You can pretend to take the high road, and state that graphics don't matter. This will leave you a great exit, and you appear to be more of a gamer than the other person asking you to back up your claims of graphics superiority.

HD, i love this one:

17. You think games that are on PC are XBOX exclusives.

boodybandit5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

HighDefinition5601d ago

I got give Pirate Thom credit for that one. I just broke it down for the list.

He said it a few days ago, and I think it`s some of the most ingenious words ever spoken on N4G.

memots5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

you forgot someone on that line.

18. You find yourself agreeing w/ POG, Bladestar and Lachance.
[Edit] 18 . You find yourself agreeing w/ POG, Bladestar and Lachance , Giantenemycrab.

GiantEnemyCrab5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

haha 1.1 and 1.10 put more effort into their list than even the author of the article. You must think about 360 fanboys all day long.

We R N UR Head! haha

Thanks for remembering me memots. It's only fare since whenever we are listing the crappiest music ever heard I always include you/your band.

Wile5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

Good for you CViper! Embrace it and enjoy it.

memots5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

Hey thank for that. giantenemycrab

LoL i didn't even know there was a band name memots thats awesome.

My nickname had always been MotS (thats what i used on arcarde machine for my high score )

But in this age of the internet it almost impossible to use MotS its always always taken. So i put my name initial (M.E) in front of mots and with the years it became memots.

You shouldn't say the band memots sucks man they might be xbox360 gamer wich would make them awesome in your book. ;)

JD_Shadow5600d ago (Edited 5600d ago )

61. You answer the "MS bribes third parties away from the PS3" line with the "Sony did it to Sega last gen" line.
62. The only source you trust for sales figures is VGChartz.com.
63. You think America is the only country in the world.

zethos565600d ago

But I haven't had RROD yet :)

PS3 Blu-Ray NOT dead5600d ago

You said: "63. You think America is the only country in the world."

It should be changed to "63. You think America -IS- the world."

1. Prod is not a myth still happens but not as much.
2. I never seen someone say they should use DVD forever. (edit well tech will always advance and they should know that :P)
3. Blu-ray will always be better because its is hidef for movies and bigger games on 1 disc (MGS4) . BUt DVD can use 3 for a game if people are not a bum and can take time out to change it.
4.some muti plate games do have problems on ps3 but there mostly from ea :P And some exclusive games do have problems if you cant see that your blind.

12. DO you know if it has, i don't. Engines have limits as well you thought.

14. its is
15. The first one did.
16. it properly wont but you never know in this world.
17. exclusive to ms. but what about people that only got console and a 9 year old pc?
18. sometimes they are right but they are also wrong allot of the time but people don't like the truth from both sides.
19. Sony do lie sometimes but not all the time.
20.don't like the game so i don't care :P
21 Well they are both great and forza is better in some ways but thats my opinion.
22. don't bother collecting them i just play the dame game.
23.To expensive. :P
24. no i got my blueray player in my ps3. that will do me fine.
25. it will happen in due time i think but not yet.

27. i love my ps3 :P and 360 and my pc.
28. They can be i was on l4d(pc) and on a dedi and it was crap, lagging allot :P
so peep to peer sometimes is good but it depends on the other peoples connections are like. as long as it don't lag i cant tell the difference. ( i see what you mean my bad. didn't make sense at all haha)
29. what a wast of money. wire alll the way :)

Happy gaming . The list is just for fun.

HighDefinition5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

28. You should take a little more time spelling/typing. (LOL)

"I never seen someone say **using they should use** dvd forever"

I have never seen anyone say that either.

But I have seen people say......

"Dvd will be fine forever for gaming"

rucky5601d ago

"But remember! You’re a Fanboy! You must hate the opposition with a passion and never acknowledge the fact that they're console is pretty much the same as yours. One is always better! And that one just happens to be the one that you hold onto at night."

Yeyeah!

Z5015601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

What happened to the DLC that never came out?

creeping judas5601d ago

Came out a while back now. Something on a moon hurtling towards a planet, I forget what it was called now? But we've only had the one.

mintaro5601d ago

Bringing down the sky, but they promised a bunch of DLC, im still waiting....

lord_of_balrogs5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

It's called Bring Down the Sky, it takes around 1.5 hours to complete.

PirateThom5601d ago

Yeah, but they promised a load of episodes leading up to their next game.

I'm guessing the EA take over messed it up.

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 3h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 2h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 4h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 4h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 1h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast7h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake23h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast6h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon19h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast6h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
