Defending a online service that ps3 essentialy gets for free? One that is worse than Steam? A cost that is there not for servers or content but to get your money plain and simple? Yea thats pretty self owning if you are trying to defend that. It is a necesary if you are on xbox though, but defending it is just Self-Owning.

I can agree if you said you liked the xbox dashboard more, but the actual online aspect is the same.

[QUOTE="shane_orija"]That there is a board called System Wars. That people actually are passionate about it. [QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]...JeffG getting fired--Never before have I seen such backlash to anything in this industry....AncientDozer
No one really cared about it. It was just about munching popcorn and watching for everyone, otherwise G-spot wouldn't be the most popular right now.

Yeah. The fact that we NEED a system wars (yet which is also moderated, which always struck me as somewhat counter productive anyway) seems like "self-ownage". I do believe people cared and raged about it, but, really, what could they do? These days our generations are complacent, lazy, and. . well. . not very motivated.

If they did they would have stopped coming here. People who visit gamespot put their convenience above standing up for the right thing.

Cue drum roll...

Doom 3 AA--Causes a good chunk of "hermits" to leave

Twilight Princess 8.8--If it's true that JeffG got fired because the Kane and Lynch review was the last straw, chances are, this was one of those straws

JeffG getting fired--Never before have I seen such backlash to anything in this industry.

MGS4--Causes lemmings to question the intregrity of reviews, until *insert AAAA 360 exclusive here*, then it'll be the cows

The arrival of Apple fanboys--someone is going to get owned hard either way

The Conduit reviews--I don't trust High Voltage anymore

teh foliage king!--You mean people actually debated this?

Crysis--In one way, I thank you, Crytek, for bringing back PC gaming to a new level of reverence, but I hate you for the same reason, because thanks to you, half these threads here are Console vs. PC. I guessyou can go Apple gaming, that way, nobody wins expect you, I use that same logic to support Linux in front of Mac and PC fanboys:P

ChrisSpartan117

This is current gen stuff, what do you know of history here? I wouldn't even claim to know and I remember the GC controller being revealed and the chaos following here.

Must have, I see the edited thing on it, and as it reads right now there's nothing that jumps out that would warrant several pages of people making fun of it.

FFS, that was just painful.

IT IS USING HDR8?!??! I CAN'T THINK OF ONE X360 GAME THAT DOESNT USE AT LEAST HDR10!

THE DREAM IS DEAD, WAVE BYE TO REALISTIC LIGHTING AND 1080P COWS.

Am I the only one that remembers Cityboy? (or whatever variation of spelling he used for his name.) This was back in the days of super zooming onto screen shots to compare the pixelation of a PS2 game and an Xbox game.

"london, france" and the Einstein/Hitler stuff...brilliant. These are the things that kept me coming back and checking in over the years.

ChrisSpartan117

To leave the boards? To leave PC gaming? Neither was likely true in the year which saw Far Cry and Half Life 2 released, two of the best FPS games of all time.
