Even if it's just a little bit.

I'll keep this short and simple.

I admit I'm a bit biased. I don't like Sony as much as the others of the big three. I have a bit of a leaning towards Nintendo when talking about the best games. And I have many good and bad thoughts about Microsoft.

Just because you own all the consoles doesn't mean that you are not biased.

Everyone is.

preferance of one console over another =/= bias. bias is when that preferance prevents you from making an accurate judgement.

You're right Paleo, we all favor one company over the others no matter what anyone says. I'm just like you I favor Nintendo over the rest and dislike Sony a little more than the rest.

Having said that I am by no means a fanboy though, maybe a console fanboy. :P I don't PC game but don't hold it against those that do.

I'm not biased, I just fight for the truth(or at least, I try to). I don't have many system preferences, I just prefer good-playing games on a console. I mean seriously, why do we even fight over which console is better? As long as it's fun, no one should care if one console is "light years" ahead of any other console. IT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!! we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves, instead of rubbing things in about other consoles into people's faces...and the world doesn't need to know that you like one game more than any other... while hating on any other game that's not your favorite*cough*obamanian*cough**cough*...Just IMO.

I agree with you though, everyone has some form of bias whether they admit it or not. I'm a little biased towards PS consoles and I don't hide the fact that I like and respect Nintendo and Sony way more than Microsoft.

Yes.

It's human nature. Even if you own all three consoles and a gaming PC, there's inevitably going to be one you enjoy more than the others.

Im with wingman on this I hate it when people deny their bias, like its ok to like another console more or bash a game but don't say that you arent biased because everybody is and acknowledging that would make this place a lot less hostile.

what about the time I got to borrow my friends nintendo DS for 3 months with pokemon, new super mario bros and mario kart ds and metroid prime hunters

here was my chance to enjoy the nintendo franchises without shelling out cash and I was really looking forward to it.
The games were just one big fat "meh" to me(the third party DS games where great fun!)

the whole of nintendo is so unintresting to me just as some nintendo kid is not intrested in God of War or Killzone

doesnt make us biased


biasness is when a great exclusive like MGS4 is taking crap over and over cause its not on X360

Alright you caught me, I'm a biased. I like Nintendo and Microsoft more than Sony.DireOwl

surprise, surprise. *roll*

Anyways, I try to not let my bias stink up my posts. I will admit, I love sony a little more than the other 4 console companies, but that doesn't mean that I go around hating on everything. I try to think from every standpoint, and reveal the honest truth from my heart. And if I really don't like something, I usually stay away from the topic, it's just the best thing to do.

Everyone is biased in one way or another, and video games is no exception. Anyone claiming not to be is just delusional. I am biased towards breathing air and eating food. I'm biased towards violent games. I'm biased towards Blizzard, Playstation, and old school Nintendo. Just because your biased towards something doesn't make you a fanboy.

That just about wraps it up, System Wars is a forum full of biased people.

And in other news, bombs kill people and the war in Iraq was a bad decision.

It depends what you called ''biased''. Is it being biased towards something because of favoritism, brand name loyalty or nostalgia etc.. or is it biased towards what you find to be logically better?

TC, you are confusing preference for bias. And there is a significant difference between the two. Yes, everybody has their preference. Be that in platforms, genres, developers, etc... But specifically just with the system they want to play on, just because someone wants to play on one more preferentially over the others DOES NOT MAKE IT A BIAS. The choice might be driven by any number of factors, from familiarity (have always played with ++++ system, so like to keep to that comfort zone), to budget, to which system has the games they have always played and want to keep on playing (Zelda series, FF series, Halo series...), to system features. But that doesn't mean they will hate on the ones they didn't buy or play on.

So what makes the players viewpoint a bias? When their resonining is completely irrational. When it's not enough that they make their purchasing choice, they even have to attack the other system for no more reason that it's "the other brand". When they have to exert a skewed outlook that has no bearing on reality, like "That platform has NO good games (no such thing on any of the platforms)", or "This console is better because of the brand name (you gotta come up with a better reason than that)", or "all games on that system suck, because they're on that one and not mine".

I game on my 360, I love it's library and to me it offers everything I like, the controller, the graphics, the robust online service. But I can still say that God of War, Uncharted, Ratchet, Metroid Prime 3, Twilight Princess, and SMG are really good games.

You can also be aware of and minimize your bias. And bias does not a fanboy make. A fanboy is past "a bit biased" by definition alone.

EVERYONE is biased. If you're not biased, you're not human. Whether that's to consoles, genres, particular developer, or whatever. If you're not biased, you have no favorite, and no opinion.

This isn't a discussion fit for gaming, more for life.
