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!

Like Demi said before, we just tell the truth here. Most of what we say about the PS3 is simply the truth.

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.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #30 on:** November 14, 2007, 01:41:04 PM »

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.
