Do fanboy employees bother you?

I just picked up my copy of UC2 (waiting for my tv to free up so i can play). Anyway i went to gamestop to purchase UC because i had a gift card, and i couldnt help but notice ALL of the employees are lemmings. It just gets annoying because when i ask them for opinion on PS3 games they never have anything positive to say. Does anyone else have this problem?

Edit: I dont necessarily mean lemming just fanboy in general. They just happen to be lemmings here.

i dont talk to video game store employees.

shop somewhere else.

ya.... then again, gamestop's policies fit right in with microsoft's..... only hold onto 80 percent of preorders as 1 in 5 don't get picked up! if they're still buying don't fix it? sounds about the same to me.

Back when I used to play on the PS2; me and a friend were in a game shop and the guy at the till was a total lemming.

What got me was this is before the Xbox came out, the hype alone had this guy a fanboy...

A bit. Since mainly most of the fanboys behind registers dont know jack. I mean one time this guy said rockstar offcially said that next gta is 360 only and no PS3. I didint want to sit and argue with the pee brain.

The guys at my store are usually pretty cool. Low key, not really hardcore. But they hired this one new guy. I went in to purchase demons souls last thursday and I asked him if they had it. My normal guy goes no. So the other clerk tells me the only reason it's going to be good is because "it's on PS3" BS.

I never find that employees have their own opinion about anything, they just want to sell and say that/this is good.

Blog it then.

I try to avoid conversation with them. But when I do talk them, it's actually kinda funny. :P

Why is it so hard for people to understand that people have their own opinions, and they are free to have a different one than you. Just because they dont share your views, doesnt make them wrong, or a lemming, it just makes them human:|

Yes, I once went into GameCrazy and the cashier was talking about MUA2 like it was REAL. He said something like "Oh I can't beleive he went on live TV and said that he was joining the government", and much much more. You have to know the story of the game to know what he was talking about.

lol the best thing I heard was when someone wanted to buy a PS3 for the Blu-ray player, and the employee said: "Don't bother buy that. The 360 is getting a Blu-ray player soon". This was about 2 or 3 years ago :P

They don't bother me, but it bothers me when they spew their nonsense on mothers and girlfriends that have no idea about anything and think they are getting good advise.

I never talk to them, I go to the check out counter, I pay the money, and I leave.

What I wish for is that Gamestop would update their stupid ass system. Whenever I do go there I go there to do business, which seems to be overly complicated and takes ages. Buying a game is simple enough, but when you've got store credit to spend on a game, receipts for games to pick up, pre-orders to swap and games to trade in... I dread having to go through all that nonsense. It'll probably take half an hour.

"Is it worth the aggrevation?" Liam Gallagher sings on itunes as I'm typing this. It's on random. But I say that yes, yes it is. You could wait for a lifetime to spend your days in the sunshine.

i ignore employees:P

Everyone has an opinion...would it have been more acceptable if he was bashing or had dumb things to say bout the 360? Somewhere in that conversation you just didn't like what they had to say about the PS3 titles...it was HIS opinion. If you wanted to make him shut up about it...ask him what does he LIKE. That's what I do for people who talk down on everything....what is it do you LIKE?

Shopping from them I don't really care, but having to work with them is far worse.

When I was at EB Games (Australia) my manager was unbearable around MGS4 release time. He was taking pre-orders for the 360 version even though we did not have a code for it. Telling people that he had seen the 360 version of MGS4 and the graphics were a lot better. When you shop there you can call him a goose but when he is your boss you just have to cop it.

Nah, the Gamestop I go to is pretty well-rounded: there's some PS3 favored, 360 favored, but not so much PC or Wii. So I get some good input on any game I want to buy, unless it's for PC, then I usually have to trust my own judgment. As for the Wii, I usually just ask kids or their parents what's pretty good. Suprisingly, their suggestions are pretty spot on (can you believe an 11 year old recommended Dead Space Extraction!?). Not all us gamers are anti-social, you know :P. DethSkematik

I've never really met a console fanboy in real life to be honest.

It's a good thing I adopt the rent before buy policy and I NEVER listen to what any game store employee thinks.
