Stupid SW arguments that go unnoticed.

Example:

SWfanboy1: GameX 2 is gonna be awesome! GOTY contender for sure! I can't wait!

SWfanboy2: This game will be terrible, consoleX = owned! Shovelware FTL lol!

SWfanboy1: Oooh Look, I'm SWarrior2! I love going on internet message boards and complaining about games I've never played!

I think most people on SW would probably side with SWfanboy1. Right? But why? Both of them are speculating on games they haven't played. They're both equally silly, which I think is okay. I think we should be free to have our own silly opinions, I'm all for it. But why is the negative one always the unreasonable one, and the positive one is accepted? Here's why: because some of us here on SW (won't say who) are insecure about their beloved platform, whatever it may be. Let's just be not so hippocritical guys, k?

Let's extrapolate on that discussion a bit more:

SWfanboy1: GameX 2 is gonna be awesome! GOTY contender for sure! I can't wait!

SWfanboy2: This game will be terrible, consoleX = owned! Shovelware FTL lol!

SWfanboy1: Oooh Look, I'm SWarrior2! I love going on internet message boards and complaining about games I've never played!

SWfanboy3: This is a sequel to a game that sucked. GOTY? u crazy?

SWfanboy1: Stating your opinion as fact = fail.

Again, most people on SW would side with SWfanboy1. How dare he state his opinion as fact? But wait a second... isn't saying something "sucks" an opinion statement by nature? No? Well if you think no, then here's a challenge: think of a situation where saying something "sucks" is a fact. An actual evidince based fact. Even someone saying "Big Rig sucks" that's not even a fact. And no I don't mean the literal version of "sucks", pervs. So when someone says something sucks, lets just assume he's not confusing games with vacuum cleaners, k?

What are some other dumb yet accepted arguments you've noticed?

Here are the type of people who go to system wars. There are the fanboys who just play games and have preferences, they are still pretty immature and are defnsive in terms of games they like. there are the trolls who abuse and take advantage of people. And then there are the people who believe they are better than everything else and think that stupid sw arguements that go unnoticed are about as stupid as this topic. System wars isn't the most logical place but, this overzealous nonsense about not prefering some games because that would make you a fanboy is a complete and utter shock. It is like you are pretending to be a non fanboy to be cool and awesome. Fnanboys are dumb and children.

Oh that's good to hear! I'm truly very happy for you.

Using piracy as a con on the PC platform. I didn't realise most of SW worked in the gaming industry to be affected by such a thing.

If there's an argument about "x" topic, it means it didn't go unnoticed :roll:

I think the dumb argument that (kind of) relates to that is the common "gameplay>graphics" response. As if good graphics and good gameplay were mutually exclusive in relation to a games overall quality.

It's mostly used against crysis, but they don't say it like that. It's basically "all that game has is graphics!!!!"

"Console graphics king." "You literally have to dig through shovelware" "Hardcore/casual games" (I don't believe inanimate objects can be either)OreoMilkshake

likin it

ummmm haven't heard that one.

i do also not think games are inherently hardcore or casual, but when people say that i always thought they were saying games targeted to hardcore and casual demographics.

Fanboys IRL are far worse than the ones on these boards because they aren't only annoyng, but they are extremely ignorant about anything gaming.

That generalization actually works in most cases because most games, even on HD consoles, which have pretty graphics, are shallow in gameplay. It's like saying Wii only has shovelware. For me at least, after playing the top tier games on Wii and going back to regular controler, only a few games stand out on the HD consoles gameplay wise, which actually proves the fact that both controler methods should be used depending on the game^_^

Uh yeah you have. It's usually one of the dumber sheep arguments.

I think it's more to do with developers dropping their support for the platform, though in reality that isn't down to piracy. It's probably that the publishers are looking for anything to blame for poor sales but themselves or their developers and are looking for a scapegoat. That self denial will probably harm them even more than they realise, and eventually they wont have anyone to blame but themselves.

One million sales is not that big of a deal. Especially if the game is an exclusive like Uncharted,Alan Wake,etc... Im sorry but any game that sales a million copies is a success imo.

My fav one 'Can {exclusive console 1p} run on competitors console. How the heck would anyone know since the game is exclusive to one system?

It's all about hate people... it's all about hate

There's nothing wrong with calling a game you're looking forward to as a GOTY contender if you ask me. Harmless fun, is all. Ninja-Hippo

I agree, and at the same time there is nothing wrong with saying it looks like it sucks too.

yeah really. and then they quote some remark that a PR guy says as proof. lol
