Anybody else tired of all the elitest manticores trying to be all Switzerlandish by not picking a side, and claiming to be "true gamers".  I don't care if you own all the systems there's still one you like better.  Sure many Americans have German heritage but did that stop them from picking a side in WWI, and WWII??  (I really don't know the answer to this one)

So here's your chance to grow some, and pick a side Manticores.  Who are you gonna fight for in System Wars?

(also it's great if you post a insane reason why you're fighting I'll start)

I'm fighting for the 360 it's been considered the underdog all last year, and where is it now?  Number 1 it's got the most sales (who cares about the head start), best hardware (teh cell, more like better sell your sony stock), and XBL combined w/ halo 3 is going to be the most addictive things since herion (rehab here I come).

Your arguement doesn't make sense.  Gaming is a pastime just like any other hobby.   For instance I also play golf.  However, since I play golf that doesn't mean I need to commit to myself to Ping or Callaway for my equipment choice.  In, fact I may use Ping Irons, Callaway Woods, and a Taylor Made putter.  Each one serves a specific role to round out my total experience and fulfillment as far as the game goes.  Same with gaming.  Having a Wii, 360, and PS3 in my "bag" can really give me an opportunity to be totally fulfilled in all facets of gaming.

Considering North Korea has abandoned its nuclear plans, I doubt the West would ever go to war with them. It's Korea's war so let South Korea handle it.

What he said. I expect different things from each console, whether or not I favour a particular console really depends on my mood and what I feel like playing. And even then, this is one war where I don't want any losers - I like the fact that there are three new consoles on the market available. But really, if I had to pick a side, I guess it would be PS3 - not because I particularly feel it is a lot better than the Wii/360, but because the amount of just... stupid fanboy hate I hear thrown in its direction makes me want to defend it.

I consider myself a manticore and I do have a favorite console this gen (so far the Wii, it might change though). But that doesnt mean I have to pick Nintendo's side. I dont feel the need to bash any console except if its truely a piece of crap.

Hah, you say we're elitist when we're actually better in every way. We're the ones not limiting ourselves for no good reason. We're the ones enjoying gaming to its fullest. And I don't even brag about it that often.

I sometimes wonder if fanboys apply their "logic" to all of their consumer purchases.  Do they only buy one brand of cellphone and trash the owner's of other brands?  Do they only buy one make of a vehicle and flip off owners of other cars on the highway for having something different?   Do they only eat at one restaurant and avoid all others?

Next gen hasn't started for me yet. My PC is obsolete and I don't own any next gen consoles.

*Hears 'Cry me a River' on the radio.*

So no, the war between myself and my wallet is delayed.

wow I never realized manticores had zero sense of humor, you've now become the worst fanboys in system wars.

"bu bu bu I'm not a fanboy, manticores are the exact opposite of fanboys"

wrong if it acts like a fanboy, talks like a fanboy and smells like a fanboy it's a fanboy.

obviously you didn't get the joke...:roll:

this isn't general gaming, it's system wars, you don't play war and go I'm gonna be switzerland nobody attack me. 

I think all the players in the NFL are godly atheletes, does that mean I can't root for a certain team?  Hell no! It means I hate the Packers, and root for the Bears since the Jets can't do crap this season.

nope, didn't get the joke..... it's hard to say who is serious and who is joking on the forum..... if i really preffered 1 system i wouldn't have any trouble in picking one..(in sports i support 1 team) i just like too many games.. really couldn't choose, but if i HAD to pick one, then it would be Nintendo, but only because of the continues high quality first party games and innovative. but i don't have too.

I used to be a manticore until the Xbox and 360 came to the market.

EDIT: I'm not a hater, the only reason for me to buy one is Gears and that doesn't justify the $400 purchase .

I was manti last gen and I intend to carry that over into the next gen. At the moment I have the Xbox 360 and Wii and I'll be picking up the PS3 in the coming months, when it begins to pick up in terms of really good, quality games.

I classify myself as a Mantilemming because I defend the 360 the most here in System Wars, but I have much respect for the other two as well.

I know you were joking, and it was actually a tad bit funny. But you might as well get ready for the following questions. Are you in the military? If the answer is no, how do you intend to kill anyone? BTW Korean BBQ FTW!

Uhm... see I was on your side until you started talking your NFL idealogical mumbo jumbo. Everyone knows that you should root for the Bears because they are the Best, not because of some weak hatred for the Packers. Besides only true Bears fans such as myself can have true hatred for the cheeseheads!

Manticores are a myth and most of the people that say that are mantis are hypocrites. Even when I had and loved all systems I prefered the PS brand and PC. 

I have fond memories of  Sega Saturn, NES and the NEO GEO but both PS1 and 2 delievered a huge ammount of AAA titles. I can't deny it and don't have a problem accepting it.

Still, my preference is always based on GAMES.

Not really I admit I prefer Xbox 360 a little more than everything else just because atm its got the games I want.  That doesnt mean that I cant protect the Wii and PS3 at the same time against stupid and false comments.

You admit you prefer a system but you are not close minded like all fanboys; that for me is good enough to be a gamer. What I'm trying to say is that some manticores talk like they are higher beings and see all systems equally. I don't buy that crap.

[QUOTE="klactose"][QUOTE="jrhawk42"][QUOTE="danneswegman"] you shouldn't have called me a coward. there is no reason for it. but like you said: everybody is a thoughguy on the internet... ON topic: you are also alowed to enjoy all the games out there. no reason for misplaced loyalty towards any system.



obviously you didn't get the joke...:roll:

this isn't general gaming, it's system wars, you don't play war and go I'm gonna be switzerland nobody attack me.

I think all the players in the NFL are godly atheletes, does that mean I can't root for a certain team? Hell no! It means I hate the Packers, and root for the Bears since the Jets can't do crap this season.

Uhm... see I was on your side until you started talking your NFL idealogical mumbo jumbo. Everyone knows that you should root for the Bears because they are the Best, not because of some weak hatred for the Packers. Besides only true Bears fans such as myself can have true hatred for the cheeseheads!



rooting for a team because they are the best makes you a fairweather fan (I'll admit I was a bit of that with the Bears durring this season since the Jets were crap), and nobody likes fairweather fans.

The point is everybody has a favorite, even manticores, and they're just too chicken to admit to themselves they have a preference.  That's the whole point of system wars is state you preferance and argue your point.

If you want to talk about how great every system is go to general gaming discussion, we're at war here, and there's no room for cowards, running around in their panties screaming I'm a manticore I don't wanna fight!!!!
