Quote from: DerNebel on Jun 12, 2016, 05:15 PMWhy am I not feeling the hype??? I should stop reading threads on r/xboxone, the growing fanboyism and general stupidity around there is giving me a headache, if I see another person trying to justify how a Nintendo Xbox could totally happen, I might just get up and punch my roommate.
The best thing you can ever do for yourself is avoid areas you know are cesspools for fanboyism and just stick to places that talk about the facts. One thing about fanboyism is that it has a nasty effect on your own bias. Everyone has a preference but watching someone act like a fanboy against what you like can cause you to become a fanboy yourself if you're exposed to it long enough. You end up becoming just as miserable and pathetic as they are. Instead of being an actual gamer you end up becoming a cheerleader for a company that doesn't give a shame about you, no matter how much you want to believe they do.

During the 6th generation I owned every console and didn't give a crud what other people thought. I wanted to play the games that interested me. From Dreamcast to Xbox. Sure, PlayStation 2 was my preference because the previous gen gave me a soft spot for Sony and the games released for it appealed to me more, but I never bristled at the thought of the other platforms. What they had and how well they were doing. Understand that the vast majority of these fanboys can't and won't be swayed by you. So, you waste your breath on them. As far as them influencing other people, the people they meet personally there is NOTHING you can do and the people going to the same sites they are will be much more informed and unlikely to buy their battleship.

Just look at the success of the PlayStation 4. Fanboys have been trying to downplay it and tear it down for years. Yet their platform is either dead or stagnating while PS4 is rocking. The next time you worry about misinformation and stupidity, just remember that 3 years of it didn't slow down Sony at all. Don't let those idiots drag you into their personal hell and ruin your love for games. It would be a dang shame for you to miss out on a great experience because someone else is mentally ill.

True, but I mean they live in the same city as E3.

I'm looking for a sexual joke in there but I can't find one, did you fall on your head Raven?

Also, yeah best to ignore that shame, but I'm kinda masochistic in that way I guess. Oh and I don't try to explain to them how wrong they are, that's a pointless endeavour anyway, I just read the crud and shake my head at all the mental acrobatics that people go through to justify how MS bringing everything to PC is totally great for them as X1 owners. Anyways, yeah I'll leave that place alone for now, waste of time.

Uhm, I'm sorry are they trying to build an emotional bond between the player and the Titan? Lol.

Kinda gave me a Zone of the Enders vibe. When ADA started to bond with the pilot of the first game.
