[QUOTE="Zaistev_basic"] I'm sorry, but whoever said that lemmings have common sense and rationale hasn't been to Gamespot long enough how lame they are since XBox was launch in 2001. It simple: lemmings have so much to prove that their better; but their console of choice, both XBox and X360, has never won a gen. Thus, like any other politician from the opposition, all they do is bash, made alliances then backstab, look for ways to make the other console bad and theirs good, and brag about AAA games which means nothing if it does not translate to sales. Cows and Sheeps bashed too, but at least they're been on the top. They have somehow bragging rights. No matter how much lemmings bash, brag, and post game rating reviews, the fact still remains, X360 did not win the console war. Zaistev_basic
ok. i'll give you the fact that the xbox never one a gen. that's indisputable. but it's actually worse to go from being number one, selling over 100 million units in one generation, to being in last place with an over priced console in the next generation.
how can you say that lems praise AAA games that don't translate to sales? halo 3, and gears 1 &2 would like to say hello. as would few others like ME and gta 4 which sold more on the 360 than the ps3.
cows and sheep bash others. true. i'll give you that. but cows this gen have become so delusional that they would hype anything and everything ranging from firmware upgrades, the standard features that should've been in place since the beginning but were left out because sony refused to pay the company they stole the invention from despite the fact a judge ruled them to (read: left out rumble because sony didn't want to pay immersion for it), to over hyping games that are clearly going to be failures (lair, heavenly sword, motorstorm, etc.) the sheep can't hype anything or be proud of anything because nintendo took their money and told them to wait in the rain for a hardcore oriented title only just to give them abysmal shovelware. when the sheep ask where's mario and zelda, nintendo's response is "well we have wii music. that has mario in it. who was the other guy you mentioned?"
the xbox 360 may not come out in first place this gen. in fact, it's pretty much guaranteed nintendo will to everyone's dismay. but at least they won't be in last place like sony.
Lemming hyped everything too. As a matter of fact, lemmings hyped the most games during the PS2 era. it's funny that what you see cows nowadays are the same action and reaction XBox was, and XBox was in 2nd place.One of the most lame post the lemmings did, which by all standards, the lowest ever from any post from other fanboys like cows and sheeps, is to say that buying XBox and X360, are patriotic, or don't buy Japanese.
Another low for lemmings, which was not done by either cows or sheeps, is the games vs sales threads. The thread was created (even endorsed by some moderator) to discredit Wii's success and to limit lemmings insecurities. It's so low that lemmings forgot the difference between subjective and objective. You can throw some of the worst tantrums of cows and sheeps, but remember, it is neither of these fanboy who started the havoc thread about games vs sales. It is lemmings who created that thread that almost change the rules in the forum on how we judge a console (with the help of a moderator). Fortunately, with the help of other voice of majority of gamers, on the second voting, the rule that games>sales was overturned. Ironically, that voting thread happened when Wii outsold X360 worldwide. We all bashed here and there, but cows and sheep never, ever, change the rules like the lemmings attempted (which almost succeed).
i wasn't around for the highlighted.
if i remember correctly, it was the cows that tried to changed the rules about what scores to use regarding games. they were the ones that introduced the idea of using meta critc and game ranking to try to say that their hyped games that flopped on gs are not flops at all, but that overall they were doing well and fell within their hype. also, cows tried to change the rule by creating polls saying that ign scores should be used and not gs scores because "teh lemmspot iz teh biazed".
as for the patriotic thing, let's not forget the petitions that were created by cows after dmc4, ff13 and re5 were announced for the 360. the cows even went so far as to say they want people to boycott capcom and not buy dmc4 because they weren't being loyal to the sony franchise. fact is all fanboys say and do incredibly stupid things. this gen, the cows win by far in most outrages fanboyisms.
