gaming Does anybody else hate fanboyism?

Fanboyism in anything is terrible, not just gaming.

People just need to chill out. All that "you suck because of your console choice" really gets on my nerves.

My brother went to preorder Destiny on Xbox One before it came out, and he asked the guy some questions about stuff that was "PS4 only" (All of which will be on Xbox One eventually, mind you. It's timed exclusivity, another thing that only hurts the people who want to give gaming companies their money. As I told my brother because of this timed exclusivity bull[manure], I'm not paying for anything that isn't included in my copy of the game from day one.) ANYWAY to get back on track, the guy, instead of telling my brother that all the exclusives are "timed exclusives", says "you should've gotten it on the superior console" meaning the PS4, never mind that this jerk was wearing an Xbox One shirt AND lanyard. On top of that, he was the manager of the store. I told my brother to complain to the district manager about it. His Destiny was free.

 

If I had the money to maintain a single PC as a top of the line, at least annually, I'd be a PC gamer. I don't, so instead, I'll spend the $400-$500 (USD) every 10 or so years on the next generation of console, because the quality of my graphics will maintain or increase through that time, as opposed to decreasing because the hardware can't keep up.

 

Anyway, my point is, hate is hate. Believe what you want, but if you are a real gamer, you'll play on your preferred console, and not give people grief just because they play on something else.

Yeah, the worst thing is that I used to participate in the flame wars between the Ps3 and the Xbox 360...but now I don't really care anymore, now I just look through all those idiotic comments and wonder why they're fighting over something so unimportant...
