That this forum is so much fucking better than "that other place" now.  The discussions are better and don't devolve into mindless dumb fanboy rants and flame wars, or distinguished mentally-challenged sales data.  Thanks, guys!  :D

Eh this forum still has the same hypocrisy as gaf. You just trade fanboy rants for troll rants. It does lack in the constant sales threads though.

well the point is that the mods don't do anything so anybody is free to talk about the games they like and not get banned.

In fact, this forum has begun to get really chaotic and extremely annoying as of late; before there was lots of game discussion devoid of partisanship, but now you can't bring anything up without having some troll or fanboy making an unnecessary comparison between 360 and PS3 in an inept and transparent effort to antagonize someone else. Mature gamers want to talk about the games they play and like (or dislike) without constantly being coerced to partake in a confrontation between system shills, you know.

This is alot "cleaner" then GAF and the PS3 hate is not as war starting as on GAF. All I need now is some sort of semi-conformation that VGcats and people from PSU/PS3forums are banned and this place will be sex on a sever.

No one's banned, but you're not going to find that kind of shit here anyway.  We're above that.   8)

Haha, I'm not sure how folks can say that bashing the Wii and PS3 is just trolling.  They really are crap platforms right now.  Considering almost everyone here owns or has owned a PS2 and a Nintendo console or portable, I don't think it's company bias either.

N3 just needed more polish, they (MS) rushed it, maybe they can do better next time.

and the Darkness had good music, so it's good in my book.

as for Enchanted Arms, it's my first next gen RPG, so i went easy on it, and playing on HD helped a lot.

i agree with Mupe.  for the most part, we all play games more than we talk about them.  we can agree on somethings and have polarizing opinions on others, but unlike "that other place" we can be as honest and true to who we are without the fear of being banned.

who doesn't have biases, and who doesn't talk shit?  at least here people make that shit known.  and the best part, people have fun around here.

and this is why eb > internet.

True that.  I just like to use GAF as a source for evidence of fanboy nonsense because it's one of the biggest gaming forums.  Also, it's easier to keep track of who's who at GAF compared to other forums.

everyone here is a dick about their game tastes, but have you noticed... no one will actually try to defend them?

our defenses equate to "SHUT UP IT ROX!"   

because in reality, no one gives a shit why you like it because we all like some shitty games.  the people that really think there are lots of trolls here don't seem to understand that it's all pretty much in jest.

i mean fuck, tvc likes fucking naruto!  drinky listens to matchbox 20!!!!

But yes, the gaming side has gotten a little worse lately.  I think it has to do with all the drama recently, and it seems to be calming down.  but there a few posters who i'm not going to point fingers at, that have been stirring the pot for shits and giggles and it's getting a little old.

It's too bad I missed such an awesome thread.  I can't believe how easily Abrader broke down.  Maf and Drinky probably hadn't even used their best material yet. 


What happened to Abrader?

Apparently he's more scared of Drinky than the crazies at OA.  He's turned into a complete joke character/troll at OA.   

Also, he's busy playing these games:

but... i can see X360 games sneaking in from stage right!

.... why would you buy some of those games on PS3 instead? *bafflewaffles*

He said some jibberish about how the PS3 library is more worth investing in.  Therefore he'll buy multiplatform games for the PS3 even if they are the worse versions.   

He wasn't too sharp even in the beginning but Drinky probably drove him over the edge.

wow - that is akin to cutting your own cock off to make your poorly selected trousers fit.




To be fair, I can understand what he means.  It's just that it's fucking dumb to buy the inferior version of a game for that purpose.  I got Shin Sangoku Musou 5 on PS3 over 360 for this reason.  I dunno what I'm going to do if I get ASS ASS Ins Creed; that 17 second comparison video did nothing for me.

abrader must be one of the first real fanboys ive seen.  He treats the ps3 like his son and his 360 like his abused stepchild.
