I feel the same way. I'm getting both consoles day one and plan to enjoy both but the amount of damage control from Sony fans (and everybody is allowed to be a fan) while at the same time concern trolling every Xbox thread while at the same time begging for "serious" discussion and bemoaning trolling in Playstation threads has been pretty unbearable.
Downright embarrassing even.
Exactly my point. I've survived so many console generations, and each time its the same thing. The better console fans gloat, the other console fans start posting the most bullshit reaches you can find. I was around during the whole xbox one reveal, and man, it was a mess. Utterly chaotic, with people that have no clue about how anything works posting stuff they have no idea about. Ever since the PS5 reveal, there have been countless hundred+ pages of threads here about how X doesn't matter because Y will be better, and its just awful. And then, fall back on "but playstation has the games" when that doesn't pan out.
These people are not fans of gaming, they are fans of a company. But don't you dare say anything about liking both machines, or you will be painted in an even worse light.
I've had several discussions, on several sites, with several people. I've been keeping a low profile because I'll be honest, its exhausting. How are you supposed to have a decent conversation with somebody when they say utterly insane things that just don't work the way they say. I mean look at this thread? Its a game by a single indie dev, one person, and people will chomp at the bit to compare it to whatever AAAAAAAAAAAA Sony game that had 57,000 employees work 27 hours a day to make.
People just don't enjoy gaming or technology anymore. They don't want to talk about how X and Y are both good. They NEED to tell you why their choice is all that matters, because *reasons*. Its just utterly sad. No amount of TF power or SSD speed will give some of these people a damn personality worth a damn...
