I remember when I was a kid in elementary school me and my friends would have arguments about which system was better. I can remember the arguments vividly… “The Playstation is better than the N SHITTY FOUR” “Mario would smash Crash Bandicoot” “You all sound like idiots… Sonic would split both of them in half” When I was in school I had a Playstation so I defended Sony’s name like I had a stake in its stock. I was a Sony Fanboy. I wore the S on my scrawny chest with self-importance like a smug guy that drives a hybrid car. I didn’t care what Sony was doing wrong… no no no … it didn’t matter… I wanted to see the great Nintendo fall from grace. I wanted to see it crash and burn, I wanted to see the great Shigeru Miyamoto bow at Sony’s feet. I laughed and celebrated when that thing they call a game SUPERMAN 64 came out and got shamefully horrible scores. I defended Sony’s detractors like a Fox News pundit trying to defend their imaginary news channel…. But I ask myself why did I do this? It was because my parents didn’t have the money to get me a Nintendo 64, so to make myself feel better about the state of affairs I decided to hate Nintendo because I didn’t have one. I think my fanboyism as an adolescence was completely ordinary but if I acted the same way as an adult it would be looked at as psychotic. People would say… “Why is an adult arguing about a hollow plastic box that is filled with chips and wires?” I’m looking at you NEOGAF. Neogaf was one of my favorite sites to go log into and talk to some of my fellow videogame maniacs about the industry and games but somewhere down the line it turned into a sanctuary where some of the most despicable and detestable fanboys in all of gaming consort. An example of fanboyism gone wild is when the Egm/ 1up crew got laid off there were a bunch of people on the Neogaf forums that were actually happy that they got laid off…. that ’s correct…. HAPPY! Why were they blissful you ask? Because apparently the 1up squad showed “Favoritism” towards the XBOX 360?. So let’s get this straight you’re going jeer a person who lost their job in this terrible economy just because they don’t like the video game console you own. Obsessive fanboys (especially the ones over the age of twenty one) please let go of your controllers and get a girl, dude or whatever you’re into and fall in love with a human being. You can’t have sex with a Wii it’s impossible. Well I’m not going to say impossible because there is probably a fanboy out there who found a way. Your system isn’t alive. Just because the Sony ad says “its living” doesn’t mean your PS3 has a pulse. I used to be a fanboy but thanks to Neogaf I’m no longer one. Peace and One Love Turricane
Follow as Leon S. Kennedy's story continues and a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft's, journey through hell.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "For the sake of posterity, it's great that City Hunter is now available on modern platforms in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, 36 years after it premiered in Japan. It's also great that Red Art Games has elevated the experience by adding two new modes, while also preserving the original version. The only issue is that the game, no matter the version, is too brief, disorienting, and repetitive to truly enjoy. Still, it's an interesting artifact from the PC Engine days."
VR is a fantastic medium for getting into the action! Here's some of the best sword fighting VR games currently available.
Fanboys are everywhere, thank God N4G doesn't have uninformed fanboys like Gametrailers does or any other website for a matter of a fact. However NeoGaf still has the least bullshit of any of those websites, it's a great community there and they're a lot more intelligent than the rest of the internet.
You shouldn't hate NeoGaf. Hate People lol.
Yah, Neogaf sucks! There community is exactly like the main site on n4g, all fanboys wanting to comment, its hard to get an actual conversation going. Go to the forums on n4g, great place, quite small compared to neogaf but everyone gets along except if you are a fanboy.
I was checking that 1up thread out when I heard that they were fired. I have a very different view of that thread then you apparently do. I remember a few dip sh*ts that said that but I also remember them getting e-murdered for doing so.
I agree that adult fanboys are psychotic. Its pathetic and very juvenile.
As with any forum there are a ton of fanboys. I actually find neogaf to be less populated with retarded fanboys. I have always pushed for this site to have a "pay email" accounts only. It will never happen
:(. Nonetheless there is simply less annoying trolling on Neogaf then sites like N4g.
you seem cool and all but what the f*ck? your posting this on N4G......lots of fanboys here.......
Fanboys can get annoying sometimes. Always talking trash about a system they barely understand. Remeber the R2/Gears of War 2 War. If you don't like the system you don't have to rant on and on about it. Just play your games and eat your cookie! There can be good games on all platforms, just don't rant on and on about it! All systemns excel at some things and decline at others. Here:
Wii: Good Games like Mario and Zelda. Bad Online
360: Good Games and XBOX Live. System Errors, RRoD
PS3: Good Games and Blu-ray. Very Slow Downloads
