For the record, I know I am a branded Cow. I won't try to convince anyone otherwise. My truest proclivity is to PC gaming, however, Playstation just so happens to be my choice for consoles two gens in a row. So be it. That was not the aim of this thread. I just wanted to know if someone could be free of bias and still shun the miserable XBone.
To me, the answer seems like a resounding 'yes.' It is less of a gaming console and more of a weapon to use against us. It is a system that has turned on it's own core fanbase to strip mine them of something far more precious than money, and that is the rights you have as someone lawfully and gainfully purchasing a product. Every Xbox One sold is an untold number of games destroyed in the future due to its dangerous flirtation with destroying the industry from the inside.
Manticore is dead. XBox One killed it. The only way to be worth a damn as a gamer is to actually take a stand to stop the madness.

That's all true, but let's not pretend that the PS4 is some savior of consumer rights. The system requires a paid subscription to be fully functional and includes measures to restrict your rights on the games you purchase if publishers choose to implement them.For the record, I know I am a branded Cow.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"]the 360 was better than the ps3 for most of last generationShewgenjaWhich is totally why I am buying a 360 soon. I'll get a cheap console, pay a year of Live. Wreck on it's library of exclusives and be done with it. No harm, no foul. that is a pretty good move
supposedly unbiased SW poster who can, but doesn't have to, own all systems but no one is unbiased. that's sillyJandurin
This is incorrect.
A manticore is simply multisystem owners:
This is direct from SW Rules for a great many years, but here's a link.
"MANTICORES are those who support all systems. Its a rarely used term. They are called manticores because they are a mixture of a lot of animals. Now you see"multi-system owners"in place of this formerly common name".
There is nothing about being unbiased there, it's just merely a multi system owner.

How dare you use logic in a thread lacking the presence of logic. So many posts within this thread are using that same lack of logic, and that is simply lacking logic.... geez.

Right, "Support" being they buy and play games on those machines, and they talk about those games they buy and play in SW.

Haha. :P
I didn't have a lot of time for posting or GS, but I noticed confusion while I'm here at GS for a second and wanted to help out because some users that don't support or play various machines don't understand the term and are adding definitions that don't belong and never belonged.
I was here before the term manticore existed, and I was here when the word was being selected for SW. I know the Etymology, and some users somehow have changed the meaning to themselves, but that's not the case.
Everyone has a bias. Yep, but that's not related to being a manticore. Manticore's do exist, and unlike some fakeboys some manticores prove it in SW.
The definitions aren't one and the same, which is why I put up the link to SW GUIDELINES. I was here when we were deciding on what to call the multi system owners. Bias is not apart of the definion.
You are right, maybe I should just hop on the bandwagon and throw out what I legitimately remember, experienced, and linked above for those that weren't here...:P
EDIT : I don't have time for SW or foruming right now, I have to get back to the grind.
Peace out the rest of you that are invested in this thread.

I linked it, wrong again.
Go back to patrolling under your bridge.
If you re-read that thats not really what it says. Its says they supportall systems, but the term is rarely used. Now you see the term "multi-system owners" in place of manticore as the phrase had fallen out of use.[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"]

Thats one way to interpret that phrase, but most certainly not the only or most obvious way. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/support 7. a. To aid the cause, policy, or interests of: supported her in her election campaign. b. To argue in favor of; advocate: supported lower taxes. The definition of the word would certainly suggest that the person is arguing/advocating in favour of things they support rather than merely buying them[QUOTE="Ly_the_Fairy"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] it is definitely closer to anti-consumer than anything elseJandurin

Perhaps if you have the physical disc in the system it won't require a connection.
I'd much rather wait, and see how the system functions after release than to write it off now before we've seen it in action.
if they did that i would be much less anti-xbox1.Do you think they might attempt to put a fail-safe in their system? Perhaps if you have the physical disc in the system it won't require a connection.

you're crazy solidty just because you want to seem like a "manticore" while being a die hard cow doesn't mean we're gonna rewrite the dictionary for youJandurin
no, you're crazy jandurin and everyone knows it.
just because you want to make manticores, something you have never been, eradicated because you aren't one and never will be one doesn't change history. You have always been a negative nancy anyways.
You being a diehard loser/troll doesn't mean history is going to change because you say so. Go back to being crazy beard man at TDH. :P
You have had a crush on me for a very, very, very longtime, even taking your rage offsite to TDH, so I won at your game...you meanwhile were nothing but a memory for SW. :P I see you bring me up all the time, even in this thread. Thank you for typing my name while I was offline. :lol:

by your silly definition of manticore, i've been one almost this entire gen too bad your definition is wrong go back to getting platinums on really shitty games so you can show off to your other really boring achievement whore associatesi have no problem with recognizing greatness even when what the person is great at is ridiculousThank you for typing my name while I was offline. :lol:

Go back to not playing games but arguing in SW about the games you aren't playing. :P
You forgot my Steam Achievements and Gamerscore...If Nintendo had something up, I'd have those too.
Why do you need to be a manticore anyway?rjdofuIt's very, very important. It singlehandedly shapes you as a person.

Why thank you, I wouldn't mind changing out and swapping my "so-jandy-called"ridiculousness with a viking beard someday, see how that works out. I fear people may forget me though, so I don't know if I can do it too long.
Maybe I'll post at TDH someday whilst in bearded man character, I'm sure that would be fun.
Manticores were never considered such just for owning systems.blue_hazy_basicit's silly to call someone something based on what they own/have the purchasing power to buy i mean look at kuraimen he's a cow for sure but afaik has no ps3
there's only room for one beard on tdh :xMaybe I'll post at TDH someday whilst in bearded man character, I'm sure that would be fun.
