What the fuck is with this which has been going on the past few years?

I mean, did I miss something? I remember buying a NES because it seemed the coolest, then buying a SEGA Megadrive because it seemed the coolest, then the same for the N64, then PlayStation, then Dreamcast, (then making a bit of a mistake with the GameCube, d'oh...), then PS2, and then Wii.

I don't get these folks who go and buy a console because it's made by the same people as the last one. And then talk about it like it's some kind of competition. "PS3 will win teh console war u fukers!1" even though it's twice the price of anything else and doesn't have anything on it, I saw a bunch of people sticking by it like they were loyal to it or something.

Seriously, what the fuck. It's a VIDEOGAME!!! Haven't you got anything better to do? Have you considered that the one the company you "support" make might be shit? Might be a waste of your money? And if you must stick with something which is clearly not going to do too well, must you run around in denial, shouting out that it will?

I will make no bones about the fact that I prefer the great tech monopoly Sony over the rest, but I do like other consoles as well. Except for the Gamecube. The controller was horrendous. Anyway, most of the people I hang out with at school are diehard Nintendo FANATICS. They think the XBox and 360 are pieces of shit, yet they cannot provide a valid reason why. Also, while not as good as the Gamecube, the PS2 is better than the PS3 because the PS3 doesn't have any good games for it.

ALL OF THIS GENERATION SANS 360 HAVE BEEN RELEASED NOT EVEN 5 MONTHS NOW.

Damned idiots. And of course they flock to the Wii, rightfully so as it is the "revolution" in gaming, I guess. But they didn't even give the PS3 its fair shake. Whatever. Go take your Wii and play Warioware or some shit and I'll take Resistance: Fall of Man.

A better question would be, Doesn't anyone have anything better to do then sit on their ass playing video games, or worrying over what is better then what?

Sure, I used to sit on my ass, and get into playing whatever video game my boyfriend at the time was. Although, that resulted in other 'games'. And after a few beers at Hooters, I tend to stumble into the arcade next door, when I go to the mall.

Just seems like a rather waste of your life, to really care so much.

I don't know what this stupid thread is about but here's the thing that is wrong with today's children and video games.

People don't play with their friends anymore unless through an internet connection. That is really gay. People say BUT MY FRIENDS MOOVED AWAY AND ITS DE ONLY WAY I CAN PLAY WITH THEM, get new friends then. Also, what happened to console sharing? I started doing that when my friend got a SNES and I got a Genesis. It was a great system and still works today.

Video games aren't half as fun playing by yourself (don't give me single player shit, you can take turns you 4 year olds). I play only a handful of games alone, usually just to pass some time and get some nostalgia. If brand loyalty is isolating these fucking dorks, so be it. They don't deserve friends and they don't deserve a thread about them. Delete all posts before mine and change the title to GADZOOKS IS RIGHT! YET AGAIN!

Gadzooks, I already tried to make that point, just not in as many words as you.

I don't play games over an internet connection anymore.

Last time I played online was Command and Conquer 2.

And I played Pokemans during my fourth hour today against my friends.

uh if i play video games, it's usually with my friends IE: smash/halo/street fighter

if im playing by myself it's probably because it's a 1 player game, which i'll get bored of easily UNLESS IT IS MADE TO BE ADDICTING IE EVERQUEST

I swore she was speaking in hieroglyphics.

I personally think that even playing 1 player games with friends is still more fun then by yourself. I remember playing hours of Mario 64 with my friend James and we were cracking up every time Mario got his ass on fire. It also took 5 of us to figure out the water temple in Ocarina of Time.

I never got into those MMMORTKMLKSPG or whatever because of it's apparent demand the game forces upon you. I really hate grinding games to begin with, but some people take it to such extremes where they are like second jobs. Only instead of income you get pretty new clothes. I wouldn't want to get yelled at by some dweeb because one day I was too busy or maybe was not up to it to come to a scheduled RAID. What an awful way to live.

The most fun I've ever had with a videogame was taking turns with about five of my friends playing through the newer Prince of Persia, with everyone yelling useless advice at once. ("JUMP DIAGONALLY, UP!")

Most fun ever was playing Super Mario Kart, at my friends house.

But the best fun multiplaying singleplayer games is on the Lunar games on Playstation where anyone with a controller can jump in and do stuff. Makes for interesting fights where you want Luna to sing some shit and instead uses an herb or something.

Lenor · #13

unless your smokeing herb

*i am drunk as fuck right now please excuse all that is said*

How stupid do you have to be to not see this retarded console rivalry? You don't remember all those people who seemed to think that playstation had better graphics than N64?
