[QUOTE="justforlotr2004"][QUOTE="fierro316"]

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.

fierro316



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.



True I guess, but thats obvious that its impossible to have a 100% manticore.  Though yeah its also annoying the people that say they have all the systems and then claim to be manticore.

There are no true nonbiased gamers here.  They're all full of crap.  They still have their favorites, they just don't have the courage to say so.

Whats wrong with being a Manticore, at least they can appreciate all aspects of gaming, not like fan boys...zsc4
Have to agree with this. I like what is good, even if I tend to prefer Nintendo.

It has nothing to do with "courage" or being afraid to "fight", whatever the hell that means.  It's just that we see gaming consoles for what they are.  And that is they are merely devices that allow us to play games and spend free time.  They demand no more allegiance from us than a toaster oven or an electric toothbrush.  They are what they are, and that is highly sophisticated electronics that exist for entertainment.   It's truly sad that you think you need to fight for an inanimate object.

I sometimes wonder if fanboys apply their "logic" to all of their consumer purchases. ramey70

No, just in SW, where a forum exists specifcally for the pupose of voicing your opinions on games and gaming machines.

That's fine if you think that way, but then why are you posting in a forum dedicated to system wars?  That's truly sad.

Because more often than not this is where the best information can be found for all consoles.

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!!!!

100% agreed. So that would make General gaming discussionCanada and ManticoresDraft Dodgers

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.ramey70

I still dont know what a manticore is. I have a PS2 and still play it. I have a 360 and I have a top of the line pc. If I had to "root" for somebody, it would be anybody but that abomnination of a system hypestation 3.

Just to let everyone know, I am now officially a manticore. I finally purchased my PS3 about 2 hours ago and I love it!

I'll defend it since there's so many lemmings on this site...:D

You dont become a manticore buy just owning all consoles.  You gotta respect each one to the fullest you can as a gamer.

There's no such thing as a manticore, everyone has some sort of bias.

I just want manticores to SHUT UP.

You're not the only true gamers here, in fact, half the time you're just spoiled brats. Not everyone has $1,250 to spare, does that not make them a true gamer? I don't support Sony, and despite all the mistakes they're making, which you'd think would be enough reason for me not to buy their system, I'm still not a true gamer if I don't waste $600 on a big black grill I have no room for in my damn room.

But at least those manticores are better than the phony ones. The ones who claim they are of your "elite," and then start shilling a product in a way that would make a stealth marketer proud. You know who you are.

Here's an idea: If you truly are "elite," and SW disgusts you so much, don't click on "System Wars" when you enter the forums. Go to GUFU or somewhere where your elitism is accepted. The manticores that aren't full of themselves, by all means stay, and lead by example.

I plan on buying all 3 consoles. I've owned all 4 consoles last gen. And near every console before that (aside from like the 3D0 and Jaguar and other major flops). At heart I am a gamer that will not miss any good games because I'll own all systems. However I consider myself a Lemming because that is the side my bias swings. I like the games for the 360 the best and I also hate Sony's arrogance. Anyone that tries to deny that they have a bias is lying. Everyone will prefer one console over another, no matter if they own them all.

I own all systems.  I support the systems with the best games.  This generation, I lean toward Nintendo and Microsoft.  I think Sony needs to stop being arrogant.

Well, i have all three systems. I definitely favor the 360, but the Wii is awesome too. The ps3 is the red-headed step child in my house, but im sure to show it some love too sometime this year. I try not to be a fanboy, but, i really dont like Sony or the Sony fans too much, they make it difficult to enjoy the system.

who says you need to buy every system to enjoy every game.  Hell I didn't own a ps2 last gen does that mean I never played Tekken tag, or guitar hero???
No, the only reason you would need to buy every system is because you don't have any friends.  Sorry manticores but that's the truth.

I thought Nintendo would be winning the poll so I picked Microsoft because they're pretty much even. But if I could change my vote I'd pick Nintendo.

    I love both my 360 and Wii. I have nothing against the PS3 except sticker price. I won't pick a side, and I don't like one system better than the other. They are both different and great in their own way.
