Can't wait to see another thread about Apple vs Android fanboys, Nissan vs Toyota, Manchester United vs Loserpool, Sony vs Canon vs Nikon, Meat-eater vs Vegan, etc. Fanboyism/tribalism is found in human nature, you only need to embrace it and keep it in the acceptable range. Also it's the best thing for exchanging banter and laughs.

I for one, am still unsure how ppl don't get the whole Game Pass schema, Microsoft makes billions of dollars a year in software licenses. Why would games be really any different? Least they aren't forcing you to use Teams...... yet....

Why do people cheer for their favorite soccer team to win?
It’s just grown people playing with a ball.
If you would take away the ball they would just find another way to compete. Like let’s see who can run the fastest. Or let’s see who can jump the highest. Or let’s see who can run the fastest while jumping over things. Or let’s see who can throw this thing the furthest.
Why does a win or loss matter?
If you figure that out you’ll understand why a plastic box under the TV can trigger the same parts of the brain.
Then please share your findings because I don’t get any of it. I’m guessing it’s some ancient competitive gene going haywire. We were probably competing over who could start a fire the fastest thousands of years ago as cave men, and people were probably sitting in a circle cheering for their favorite fire starter. It’s dumb but that’s human nature I guess.

I think it was a pretty good video, but I only managed half way through. I get the jihst.
be a fan, fan all you want, but take a breath and try not to go full dick mode and if you do….spot it, accept it and try not to do it next time.
im more of an Xbox fan, and even myself watching this video I was like….why is every example an Extreme Sony fans tweets….like there isn’t insane Xbox fanboys out there as well Trying to shit on other platforms stuff? Insane fanboys are everywhere…especially YouTube and twitter.
i think the best point he makes is praise your shit all you want but don’t do it while putting something else down. Last of us 2 is industry leading in so many ways but no need to say it while also sticking in the knife to some other platforms games…it does make you look pathetic.
also, buy every console and a pc and play everything and realise good games are good games.

The console war is fun. Some folks take it too seriously. Fanboys do it for fun. We’re not actually serious about this shot. Loosen up a bit it’s all in good fun

Remember guys and gals, if a person tries hard to convince you that one piece of plastic is better than the other, the only one they're definitely trying to convince, is themselves. I have no issue with fans, fans love the console of their choosing, while also wanting other consoles to grow and thrive to give competition which leads to better games. Fanboys are the absolute opposite of fans, they're attached to the piece of plastic so much, thet they worship it and the company that makes it, while bashing everything else. The only people who bash other consoles are people who are insecure about their purchase.
The corporations that make these cosoles don't care about gamers, they only care about their wallets which for them are another nipple on the cash cow they can milk dry. What these companies plan, they plan in advance, don't ever grow foolish enough to think they're listening to us, they don't. What they do care about is pleasing investors, shareholders and company higher-ups/executives. Gamers only measure as just an extra digit or two or an extra zero in their salaries.

The nicest person on this forum
I personally find more fun talking about actual games rather than fanboysim or graphics whoring.
In GAF discussion about games itself becoming less and getting replaced with DF threads where people arguing about graphics and which plastic box is more powerful.

Console fanboys grew up and shifted to PC which is why PC gamers are now the worst. It's too bad you clowns missed the golden era.

The only thing worse than fanboys are those clowns who pretend they play all consoles or one platform while spending all their time fanboying for "another" platform. An example would be a poster who primarily claims to be a PC gamer and spends all his time saying how great Xbox is and shitting on Playstation. Really pathetic. The only thing worse would be to then make threads shitting on fanboying.

This confirms my theory that fanboys are like neanderthals with no control over their feelings.

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
If that day comes, then pray for there's enough workers on the suicide hotline that day.Imagine if Sony releases all there exclusives to PC and MS enables Xbox to play PC games

Liverpool main enemy is themselves. I have never seen a management willing to back their most successful manager less and less.This is like are you an orc vs elf though.

Manchester united on other hand is getting fucked by glaciers. Players got way too much ego, they let themselves got kicked out of FA cup.
Me on other hand, is arsenal with the club leaving me hanging dead every week in and out. I miss wenger badly. Glad our Lego manager kicked out deadwood players, and gave us players who love the club. We got alot to do. But we will pick ourselves to the top in the future soon.

I finally watched the video... and he is a rat.
He spends whole video pointing out sony fanboys faults. The whole video is basically - "sony fanboys attacking, xbox innocent hiding in a corner"... like wtf.
In reality I see xbox gamers never shutting up... and pc gamers.
He even complains about not showing user scores on metacritic when convenient like cmon.. metacritic user score have nothing to do with game quality...
if he shows examples, then why would he only pick bad sony fanboys examples

If you go to actman twitter, you will see his frustration with the fanboys.
Last of us 2 comparison pissed him off so hard. From being compared to doom, to halo, to metro series.
Doom and last of us 2 are nowhere close to each other, yet people compared to each other nonstop from guns to graphics.
Xbox fanboys on other hands, needs a game like last of us 2, to get in to that level.
I myself see both of these guys on twitter alot. The xbox fanboys down there, are just petty, and have less fangs, unlike the PlayStation fanboys there. Their main argument is the power of their console, and calling PlayStation fanboys "a pony". That would change, once those exclusive starts rolling on xbox. I expect them to be more active by that time, and they would be the new insufferable group.
