not an idiot
completely agree. i sometimes wonder if they're even humans. to see their bullshit sometimes makes me not even want to come to a forum out of disgust. all fanboys are bad but none of them are quite to the extreme like n-bots... closest thing to extremeists in gaming there is. there is no low too low for them.Do The Mario said:

Anti-Nintendo fanboys are the worst. This thread is the perfectly example of their ability to annoy. Their penchant for fabrication ("OMG Nintendo fans go into every Sony/XBOX exclusive thread and troll the games OMGs!!!!" or "OMG every Nintendo exclusive game is GOD in the eyes of Ninty fans OMGs!!!"... yet, where are these imaginary posts they complain so much about?) makes them the most delusional people at Gaming Age.
And there are Sony fanboys. Tons of them (more than the combined sum of Nintendo and Xbox fanboys, I'd say). But Playstation 2 sits as the most popular console, so Sony fans being snooty isn't seen as fanboyish, it's just seen as "speaking the truth" or whatever nonsense.

Xbox fanboys have now taken up pretty much every tactic that used to be used by Nintendo fanboys. They defend delays with the good old fashion "but it being delayed makes it better!", they hype mediocre games, and they just never ever ever shut the fuck up. They're also now, aside from Gahiggidy, the primary people to bring up sales numbers every possible opportunity (which is not surprising, but still hypocritical).
I blame Rare for the transition. I think the Rare fanboys were by far the worst contingent of Nintendo fanboys, and now they're all over with the Xbox. The xbox fan contingent now includes two of the three most rabid fanboy groups: Rare and Sega.
And it's only going to get worse. For the most part, nintendo fanboys have moved on or just plain stopped posting here so much. There's just a small vocal minority left at this point.
Oh and n-bot still makes no fucking sense. Nintendrone is clever, nbot is retarded. Do some of you people even understand where xbot comes from? Duhr, you replace the second x with a t.

A certain majority of despondent Sega fanboys became the original Xduders. A select few, like gigadent/seismologist, went Nintendo -- support the other old guard company or something -- but the others couldn't accept either the old enemy (Nintendo) or the new (Sony). Sega providing a chunk of quirky original Xdude content early in the system's life (as well as a redux of their precious Shenmue 2) sealed the deal.

I am now officially a fanboy of this thread, it is 100% more entertaining than all other threads right now.
I didn't choose any allegiance. I actually tried to go the Nintendo/"other old guard" way, but my heart just wasn't in it. Instead, I found myself flailing for something else and wound up with a WSC, a PC Engine and the joy of Border Down on Dreamcast. I got a PS2 and a GC as soon as the great games started coming in, though, and have been enjoying them ever since. But then, PSX, Saturn and N64 co-existed peacefully in my house in the previous generation too.
I still feel empty at times when I realize Sega no longer makes hardware.

Oh shit, I completely forgot about two of my least favorite types of posters on videogame forums.
-The "I only like Japanese games" wankers. If it wasn't conceived by someone in Japan, it CAN'T be worth playing. These guys also typically love the stupid plot devices found in anime and just lap that shit up if someone tosses it into a videogame. They are also likely to be
-"OMG TEH ART IS HIDEOS!!!!" fanboys that crap themselves if a game has art or presentation that doesn't jive with their tender sensibilities. These people value style over substance and like ICO. Now that's HIDEOS.

You gotta admit, though, Sudeki *did* have HIDEOS character models.
No hate for the ONE CONSOLE WORLD fanboys yet, anyone? Bueller?

Well, yeah. But I would rather make fun of the shitty gameplay and "story" than the plastacular character models. I'm mainly talking about people who can't play games like KOTOR because "OMG look at the blocky characters!!!".Drinky Crow said:

Well, I don't generally vote conservative, but, on the other hand, I also would never admit to having watched Bridget Jones.

I dislike the people who like ICO when they mention it as the *only* PS2 game they like, as if for one brief sterling moment burned to disc, a mere Sony console was elevated to the plateau of Nintendoesque game design profundity.
That's just patronizing, plus I remember whacking all those shadows with a stick ad nauseum, and something doesn't gel.

If there *is* a flaw in the OCW theory, you aren't the kid to prove it, lockii.

Eh, no it's not. It's the competition between software devs that produce those (whether some of them are in both roles is irrelevant). The competition is the reason we are getting a new console every 5 years instead of, say, 10-15, however. There is value in that competition, but it's not in terms of software.
I really do think the art in Ico makes it worth playing, and I don't think it's wrong to value art that you find really great pretty highly if the underlying game is OK. Ico certainly won't win any Gameplay of the Year titles, but to me at least the way the game looks makes it a more than worthwhile experience to go through the decent gameplay that I wouldn't have the patience for if Ico's art bored me like 95% of the other adventure games out there.

I swear the irony in this thread is juts delicious.
"I think that game is so average and I just don't understand it. It sucks. But I'm not a fanboy, I'm just not blinded by my love for a console... yada yada yada. Now if you don't agree with me I think you're a fanbot because you can't see what it's so obvious to anyone with any taste can see."
Good stuff.

This post pretty much sums up exactly what I was thinking, unfortunately it will most probably be ignored in the quagmire of stupid posts in this thread. That said the fanboys that piss me off the most are:RE4 vs. SH4 said:
“RedBook” Audio Fans: WTF is wrong with gamers and developers that insist on streamed linear audio, for fucks sake its almost 2005 don’t you think its about time the audio caught up with the 3D graphics and was generated in real time too, these are the same stupids that think that the original playstation had superior audio to the N64 because of this 20 year old technology, that’s just like saying my DVD player is better at 3D rendering than the Xbox because it has MPEG2 video. Madness!!!

If you're about to troll a thread, remember that:
1) You are not an "Interweb Superstar" and no one but you cares what SUXXORS
2) Not even your mother really cares what you think as you're probably an asshole in real life too

All fanboys suck, especially the ones who think their opinions mean fact. :lol

At it's base it bullshit. If a Nbot can't see that a Nintendo game sucks it's because of their love for Nintendo or their Nintendo console wich is a stupid kind of love to begin with.
If people were liking games itself and not the console they run in or the company who made the game, there would ALOT less stupid shit said and useless opinions shared outta here.

Next person to mention an XBot or Nintendrone or anyone who gives an answer directed at Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony gets a nice weeklong vacation. If COCKLES can focus on fanboys for 1 particular GAME, then I'm sure you all can too.
