Unfortunately, the line between loyalty and fanboyism is far thinner, or at least not always seen.
Much like politics, if something is worded improperly, or does not give respects to the reasoning behind its choice and respectfully acknowledging the opposing views, then it is labeled despite the fact that the true circumstances might call for said point of view.
@ Level Headed
Your entire second post destroyed the ...
While this article clearly was a jab at all the different stereotypes among fanboys (particularly of the Sonybot, PC elitists, Big "N"ostalgic, and FPS60 kinds), it has been a long time since I've seen an article spark such a generally agreeable intelligent discussion.
The fact that the article was flamebait and that we could still see past it enough to have a disscussion rather than a "war" on here says it's time to move on and leave the articles...
Any form of loyalty stems from a previous quality experience with a product or service.
If your a company and you have thousands of blindly loyal fans then you must be doing something right, may that be advertising, acting as a status symbol, being affordable, or simply producing quality products.
To say you don't have brand loyalty is like saying that you don't have an opinion. But like with all things, if you have tried it, seen it, or heard others ...
:( Unfortunately I'm not sure which level of sarcasm you are using, because people are stupid enough to go buy these things anyway and not get jobs...
The point of games is to enjoy them.
The enjoyment of the Souls games comes from the feeling of accomplishment.
A lower difficultly level diminishes that same feeling.
But, even so someone who is less skilled could still get a similar feeling from a lesser level so long as they are still challenged.
The problem with this logic is that the people who want an easy mode are the ones who don't want a challenge. They want to...
You shouldn't dare group anyone with those those you consider immature by age alone.
Some of those "kids" have better demanor and determination than you could ever imagine.
This additude has upset me ever since I was young, rather than showing the harsh realities we only get these perfect realities locked behind an age barrier where no one really pays the consequences for thier actions.
W...T...F?
I could make a top 100 list of things wrong with this article, but it would best be solved with a gun.
That's what the guy in the video said, and I'm not blaming him because English clearly isn't his first language.
Almost subliminal, then ye had to go and sink yar ship.
Alien ninjas would totally win anyway.
That doesn't mean that he isn't far enough out of the loop to be referencing the Wii U.
Think about it, no date at E3, and the fact that this guy PROBABLY doesn't troll N4G...He could totally be expecting it next year.
I would be inclined to agree if every comparison you listed wasn't from the same gen.
ps1 - 1994
SS - 1995
PS2 - 2000
NGC - 2001
360/PS3 - 2006/2007
WiiU - 2012
We are talking about a 6 years difference in hardware, not 6 months. And the WiiU can obviously run at higher resolution, fps, and has a second/ third screen to support with its hardware. So don't give me any it's just equal to 360...
$200 price point is BS. The current consoles would break even at that price, and this is more powerful hardware with an excess controller screen expense.
It wouldn't matter as much as you think it would. The word will get out ridiculously fast whenever and wherever we have official confirmation and showing.
That and 6+ months before release, and everyone who wants to know will.
I want to stereotype you based on your avatar soooo bad right now...and I'm blonde.
And anyway the £ to $ conversion doesn't happen for video games.
The worst part is that they expect people to pay $60 a disk...PLUS DLC.
17 hr. 15 min. from this post.
And what?
They couldn't wait a few min to throw them all in one article. For ****s sake the second article about the enemy said "We should have a video showing Megaera in action shortly."
They knew there would be a vid BEFORE they posted that.
It's called fishing for hits.
P.S. Not everyone has time to watch an hour long panel.
BS site is BS. Put out 3 different articles; 1 for game length (14 hr.), 1 for the new character/ enemy announcement, and 1 for the trailer with the enemy in it.
All in the span of like 5 min. WTF, really?
edit: Not to mention the vid is low rez and looks shot off screen.
I initially didn't see what you were talking about, but that may be gray hair in the other hidden photo.
You may want to post a picture with it highlighted or something.
Winner: Me
Just finished Dark Souls (again).
