For the last couple of week's on N4G i have noticed that it has been plagued with constant playstation Fanboys abusing Microsofts E3, The kinect and the new 360 slim and its starting to bug me.
I completely understand that people dislike the 360, but what i dont understand is why people have to fill a website which is surposed to be a Gaming News site with attempt's at flame wars and just trolling.
I feel this site should be about rumors and news about games. However i do agree with the people writing about the faults of the new xbox when they are actual testing it for faults.
What i do disagree with is when it is obviously untrue, for example the recent post on xbox 360 slim. The artical contains a video which shows the new 360 and then a tv, The tv has lines down it so PS3 fanboys claim its obviously a fault with the XBOX. Wrong the fault is with the TV, the 360 was running perfectly apart from these lines on the screen so in my opinion it has to be the tv.
Another example of fanboyism is the recent post of a IGN interview with the developers of crysis 2. In the interview they have a showing of the game and part way through the preview the game crashes, it then shows that the game is being played on windows and that there is also a xbox 360 logo on the screen, ps3 fanboys instantly claimed that the 360 is unable to handle crysis 2.
This to me makes no sense the video is obviously prerecorded due to the fact the guy from crytek is talking about things that have yet to happen in the video, ie he says and in the game you can kick cars and crush your enemys, as he says this the game has the character boot the car across the screen. The guy from crytek isnt playing the game, there isnt anybody on screen playing the game. To me this mean's it is prerecorded scene where somebody plays crysis 2 on the 360 and they then show the recording to IGN when the computer crashes.
I know by writing this it is going to recieve loads of hate, but to be honest thats what i expected. From what i have seen this site is now usless until people and the administrators of N4G start sorting out the flame war attempts.
Aion 2 receives major updates in Korea with a new dungeon, Libra system, Abyss changes and progression improvements ahead of global release plans.
For nearly two decades, GOG has built its identity around DRM-free releases and classic games that actually work on modern PCs. With initiatives like the GOG Preservation Program and One-Click Mods, the platform is going far beyond simply selling old titles — it’s actively maintaining them, fixing them, and making sure they don’t quietly disappear as technology moves on.
Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.
All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.
The Interview With Cevat Yerli on Crysis 2 wasn't prerecorded it was part of IGN's live show. However IGN's computers did crash during the presentation due ti high traffic, It was not the fault of the the 360. To stop worrying about consoles and wars, buy a PC, get Steam and you're set for life.
did you even read what i wrote? i said the gameplay was prerecorded not the actual live show, also i didnt blame the 360 for crashing i said it was the computers that crashed. please read and understand what i have written before you comment.
there are people who'll read an articles headline and just comment. Theres also poeple who constantly bash the other console as they want as many "agree" votes as possible and to get another bubble.
With E3 finished now , hopefully the situation will simmer a bit as it DID get a bit crazy and heated on a few posts.
But fanboys and console bashers will always be around. . . sometimes its just a good idea to ignore it as best you can and dont add fuel to the fire (or flamewar I guess)
I could put up with it if the people talking weren't so... stupid.
Don't give me information that is blatantly untrue. It's unprofessional, unconvinving, and (much worse) a waste of my damn time. I come to a *news* site for real information, not bullshit. Leave that in the comments.
