it seems for most Sony fans, what they're seeking is not a potentially great game, but validation.
"Seems", according to a study conducted by the clearly unbiased Oblivion, am I right?
What does bias have to do with this, nimrod? If I claimed that evolution exists, you could also point out that I'm biased since I'm not religious, but it wouldn't make it any less true.
You don't need to write up a dissertation to realize that when Sony fans constantly harp about LBP being the youtube for video games, or that it'll be the best selling new IP this generation Then it becomes clear that it's not really just a case of being merely hyped about what could be an awesome game anymore.
Just saying, it's interesting that you, of all people, would have an "issue" with the fanbot ways. And it's equally interesting that you seem to think that you're actually fit to determine why others are interested in the game, and that it's an
issue. A number of LBP fans are also Sony fanboys, so what? Obviously, something made them fanboys in the first place, presumably it had something to do with games. LBP is a game, published by Sony. Not a far fetched connection there, making it rather plausible that quite a few of these people are actually interested in the game. I'm certain that they wouldn't be paying
this much attention to the game if it was not a Sony production, and I'm sure there is the odd tool who is excited about it squarely because it's an exclusive. But I also believe the amount of people who are genuinely interested in the game, spurred on by exclusivity or not, outnumber the blind brand warriors into irrelevance. Now, if you had been talking about a game like
Haze and
its remarkable revival following the exclusivity debacle, then you'd be right. That was purely a savior deal, and a real issue at least to those who were genuinely interested in it.
