why does everyone think sony fans are "miguided"?

[supuhchris]

the ps2 was the best console yet. just look at all the great games on it. people only liked xbox because of halo, which got really boring, really fast. and the gamecube games were to kiddy like. the ps2 games were perfect.

Look, it's a joke. Get over it. This board was founded by Nintendo/Rare loyalists, and newcomers arriving in this generation of the console wars are bound to like or dislike one company or another. This place is probably the least fanboyish out of most boards in terms of the console wars, so be happy with you're relative peace.

Opinions are in the air!

My opinion is that gamecube games are not "too kiddy like". Even if they were, you're proving yourself as only enjoying games if they have "mature" graphics or are Uber violent. Gameplay is what makes a game good, and it fails to amaze me that you can't see that.

As for the Xbox, Halo isn't the only good game. There are many good exclusives that brought it to life, and the graphics aren't half bad either.

Don't get me wrong, Ps2 games aren't bad, It's just that I prefer my Xbox, Gamecube, Nintendo 64( Best system ever, aside from the SNES) and DS better.

Lets agree to disagree. We [sony fans] arent misguided, and the gcn isnt kiddy.

Agreed. I myself, have been a fan of all 3 systems.

I almost died when I read that post!
Choked one my coke when I ran across the word "perfect"

Let me break down this "Fanboy" thing for you...
As of right now we have four types of "Fanboy."
First off
Nintendo Fanboy (Misguided)
These are the mostly small children that have an obbsession with the plump plumber. Often getting in fights at school over the issue.

Retro Ninty Fanboy (Evangilist)
These are the ones that have been with Nintendo the longest. They are the most loyal of the Fanboys and can prove why Nintendo deserves their choice.

XBox Fanboy (Bully)
These are the ones that see MSoft as the "mature" way to go. They see all others as immature and are quick to Flame or Troll anyone with a different opinion. These are in actuallity the most Immature of the Fanboys.

And finally
Sony Fanboy (Fanatics - the bad kind)
Sony Fanboys are quick to use the words "perfect" and "best" in there posts. They like to clamour on about how great Sony is and they don't like to back up what they say. I've met several Sony Fanboys that were so thickheaded and violent I truly wanted to vomit. Sony fanboys aren't Misguided but they are the most Hardcore out there.

Sony had the best selling system and won the last Console war. That doesn't mean a thing. I honestly can't stand the thing. Lots of games. Nothing I'm truly interested in (aside from the Jak and Daxter series).

And to be completly honest.
Games have not been perfect since the SNES era. They've been going down the poop shoot for a long time.

No, tech-wise it's completely underpowered when compared to the standards set by the competition (well...unless you like load times?), they are notorious for DRE's (and sometimes just flat out breaking down) coupled with the Dual-Shock being the worst controller for the second gen running. (IMO of course)

You could say that about almost any system ever created, I personally own a helluva lot more GCN titles than I do PS2.

Yes it couldn't possible be due to the system being more powerful, having the best console online infrastructure ever, receiving the better builds of multi-platform games the majority of the time OR offering titles not available on the PS2. (Although to be fair, most were timed exclusives)

Might want to do some research, the majority of children own PS2's. <3

Yes you are.

Edit: Oh and for the record, I own all three.

Fixed (in my opinion, of course ), and agreed. Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie were the last games I ever felt were worth the amount they cost. The current marketing strategy for Nintendo, as my dad and I have discovered, appears to be "Make crappy games that people will be finished with in a week so they'll buy more crappy games from us". Microsoft's strategy is "Make lots of M-rated games and hideously-large controllers to drive little kids away and go for the only people who haven't yet been brainwashed by the gaming market: adults". Sony's plan seems to be "Cut corners by taking what ideas you can from other products, even if that means using your competitors' ideas and/or technonogy that doesn't actually serve any practical purpose yet and probably won't for several years, then sell, sell, sell for twice what the opposition wants for their stuff". Pretty soon, though, all those marketing plans will likely quit working, and all three companies will find themselves in deep trouble, and the only people who will have been responsible for them getting to that position will be themselves. Then you know what they'll do? Keep using the same strategy because it's "tried and true", never figuring out that it was these strategies that got them killed in the first place.
[/angry raving]
These are just my opinions, though ... and no, I don't particularly like any of the three major developers at the moment ...

I personally own a PS2 and GCN, and I might get the Xbox 360 if there's ever a Banjo game on it or any other game I see as being worth my money.

[LoZ Hero]

Oh I am so sorry...
Seriously...
I meant to type in N64 but I was impulsed by SNES due to the fact that it is recieving more gametime recently...

Please disregard my blasphemy...
Banjo and Kazooie still rock...

[P_L]

S'all right, man. I know plenty of people who prefer the SNES over the N64. (I'm not one of 'em, though, due to B-K/B-T. But I do still like my SNES. )

[Gruntling]

supuhchris and new@bthacking:

I don't think the forum description was written in mind to specifically irritate Sony fans. It's just a little inside humor to poke fun at. (Don't be so uppity! ) My goodness, if such trivial things bother you then you're looking at this far too seriously.

[Platinum Jinjo]

I have all three consoles plus N64 , snes GBA , NDS and ps1 I don't care about consoles , the games are the most important thing to me. I bought the consoles because they had a game are two i wanted. I will get all three consoles again , in time that is.... I can't afford a ps3 till the price drops , But i will be getting a Wii at launch and a 360 for Christmas. All three consoles have exclusive franchises i like so again I'll be a tri-console owner. People get to fanatical about this stuff.

[pinkbull]

I really hate what Sony has been doing for consoles and the like. I'm not going to stick to one console but get all 3. Gotta catch 'em all I suppose...

[Tanjo]

The only thing that pisses me off about sony is that they took out the rumble feature so they could put in some fruity movement censor thing.

[s.w.a.t]

There are certain things I like and dislike about the PS2 and Gamecube and Wii and PS3, but for the fourth generation, The PS3 isn't really working for me. I love how people call Sony evil for overpricing things, then say that it's horrible and that they don't want it, so what is the point of worrying about its price?
