I want to make one thing very clear. By most definitions, I could be described as a Sony Playstation fanboy. Despite all the mistakes Sony has made this generation of gaming, including taking out rumble in earlier controllers, taking out backward compatibility in recent models of Playstation 3, and perhaps most disastrously, the whole Home debacle, I still got a PS3 recently and have consistently preferred it to the Xbox 360. I could list all the reasons why, but that is not the point of this post.
I want to discuss fanboyism more generally because it presents problems for gamers, as well as the whole concept of rationality. By definition, being a videogame fanboy of a given console or company involves irrationally buying, loving, and defending a company or console while unnecessarily savaging the competing products. I believe fanboyism originates from the vain desire to justify one's choice in console, while at the same time promoting the growth of that console to add value to it.
From Abubakar Salim and Surgent Studios comes the opportunity to wield the dance of the shaman in Tales of Kenzera: ZAU.
Balancing a game can be a never ending challenge, but The Finals player thinks developers should listen to the community less.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Oh, shut up already, I'm tired of seeing articles about fanboyism. You're not giving yourself any professional credit by writing this kind of sh*t. No, I'm not a fanboy defending myself, I'm an annoyed gamer trying to sift through the incoming s*it wave for something good to read.
