A post to end all posts. The future and the real winner of System Wars.

Hello all. Many of you have no clue who the heck I am. That's fine and dandy i'm a gamer just like you are. The difference is I've been playing games for about 17 years. That's a really long time. I got my first NES when I was 6 and I was born in 1984. Which makes me 23 in June 20. What are you going to get me for my birthday?! Better not forget!:D

Oh yeah back to my post. Well it's quite simple really. All this babbling and posting, all the flaming and spamming. It dosen't really matter. I already know who the true winner of the system wars is. Perhaps most of you never thought of this. However one thing is clear. There are a ton, yes a TON of great games coming out at the end of this decade. Specifically 2007-08.

So what does this all have to do with who's going to win? Well the winner has already been declared you see. You probably know him or her. They frequently visit this board and post about their favorite system, in hopes of winning some imaginary award.

So i'm here to declare that winner. That winner is you my friend. No not the person behind you but you reading this post. How can that be Unstop? Are you mad posting this at 3:40 am in the morning? Well no not really. Just think a little bit.

All three companies are pushing out their best talent and their best games for the next 2 years. Which means you get to play them. You don't have to work 60+ hour weeks to crank out a videogame, rarely seeing your family. You get to kick back and relax on your comfy chair or sofa and enjoy Halo 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Smash Brothers Brawl. No sweating is needed. Hell even the PC is getting some killer titles and still has staying power.

Just to conclude all this fighting really is just for fun. Keep it light hearted and try not to insult anyone. The way I see it everyone who plays videogames has already won.

Whether first time, casual, semi hard-core, or hard-core. We are all part of videogames. All our epic journies, battles, quests, and adventurers will go on. It is important to enjoy the time we have with our friends and family. To enjoy and be grateful we are able to play games when some kid is lying asleep hungry in the other part of the world.

With that thought I'd like to declare the title champion of System Wars. The winner of the system wars is the gamers. Congratulations, now go off and play. :D

Peace

Yeah i'm a winner!

Cool, i'm 23 too but in May.

You, my friend, would make a heck of a door-to-door salesman.I was ready to buy a vacuum cleaner at the end of the first paragraph...

Apart from that i agree with your post.

To end all posts? I guess no one will reply to this thread then.

Whoops.

I almost forgot.

*Waits for the thread to be pinned*

This deserves it.

The TC's a noob :P I'm 42 and have been gaming for 25 years (Since chuckie egg on the BBC). I do however agree, gamers have never had it sooo good :D

As the battle rages on a true winner has emerged...

muhaha i own u :D

I first play on ATARI st 1040 (was the fight back then between ATARI ST VS AMIGA) when i was tiny man :D im 25 btw.

I totally agree with your post.Ofcourse winners will be the customers of any console.

Battle of next gen consoles just started and all will do their best for selling and this means awesome games for us ofc.

Thats a very mature point of view that i didnt expect to see in this forum but .. there are some mature ppl out there hehe.

Cheers m8

You sir win the internet.

Very well-written post. I definitely agree.

Nice to see something logical on system wars.

And defintely thumbs up to keeping it light and fun.

Am I the winner??? Where is my cookie??

Well said....but pointless....there is no etiquette in this forum.eddy_of_york

Not pointless because a select few who are mature agree with the winner =D.

As the battle rages on a true winner has emerged...

Unstoppable_1

I'll explain why I picked what I picked. Zelda pretty much redefined what a top down rpg could do on the NES with action jackson. Deus Ex was revolutionary and my personal favorite. Halo was a system seller. Finally Final Fantasy 7 has been said to have saved the Playstation when there wasn't many good games out for it. Thus I picked cloud.

Last is you of course the game =D. MS Paint for the win hehe.

That winner is you my friend.

I always thought I was a loser. I guess I lose at being successfully introspective. Thanks for making me feel like crap.

SgtWhiskeyjack

Ah the BBC, with awesome games like meteors and that one with the parachuting army guys that would float down and you had to blast them ... ooo and text only rpgs remember those?

Thanks, but no thanks, keep your warm sentiments, I take no consolation in the existance of good so long as evil actions continue to be taken in a market I love. I do not lay aside my convictions simply because "eveyone can be happy!"

War is love, Peace is ignorance, Compromise is death.

A Winner Is You! You're Winner! All of Your Base are Belong to Us!...er I didn't mean that last one. :P

But if everyones the winner... who.. can be the loser? The whole point to winning is to have your opponent lose.

Good well thought out post though. You a writer?

And then rubbing it in, belittling them until they develop an eating disorder due to depression, mocking them for having an eating disorder... you get the point.

I Miss those times ya know.

For great Justice.

In the information age, the decline in quality and diversity, in exchange for quantity and predictability ensures that the only loser will be the consumer. The only losers are people who believe they've "won" simply because they consume. The real winners are laughing all the way to the bank.

Considering you can purchase 50$ games for 10$ now I consider myself and everyone here a winner. I am laughing my way to the bank with the extra cash I saved on purchasing Diablo 2 and the expansion for only 20$.

We're all winners!

I dont know why but this made me remember that scene from Meet The Fockers when the dad says he didnt know they made 9th place ribbons.
