It used to be alot more active a while back. When I first started posting here in late '08 threads could be left in the dust and droop back up to 5 pages in only 20 minutes.

It certainly was more fun way back in the day talking about the future exclusives that were yet to come and how they would destroy all the competition. NOw its just arguing about DLC, and which multiplat is a tiny bit better..

At least then we could get a decent discussion going, now the majority of threads are from level 1 trolls bashing games graphics, is that your idea of fun? getting your magnifying glass out and examining texture quality?

I think System wars didn't even begin until 2001. Gamespot couldn't have been that great without it.

End of last gen till around the begnning of this was the golden era 2004-2006. TBH things really started going up the **** when Zelda:TP was reviewed and then the whole Jeff fisasco marked the end of GS pretty much. Since then, the whole site just degraded (not talking about the forums only).

The place became alot more regulated and fun was taking out (SW bets). To add to on top of that, good long time posters such as Blackbond and Dream-Vision got banned.

But yeah, SW has gotten worse but i actually think its improved from late last year to early this year.

Not only that, since Jeff left, a huge chunk of the population left. Back then, you could refresh System Wars and see a dozen new posts. But now, you have to wait a few seconds before somebody posts something.

More like from 2007-2008. 2005-2006 was a frying pan for Lemmings. Everybody teased them by the 360 not being next-gen due to very underwhelming graphics for the launch games, and they couldn't defend themselves because games like Gears and Halo 3 were months and years away.

Casey left? Really? I thought it was weird that he didnt post anymore. Figured he just took a hiatus and was coming back. And I didnt know Soulreavercross was a girl. Neither that DreamVisions and Blackbond were banned. No wonder this place sucks now.

Many people either don't know or conveniently forget this. The week before the 360 launched was absolutely horrendous. And it wasn't just here, it was all over the internet. People often wonder why Sony fanboys get so much grief now, that is why. And it was hilarious to watch it blow up in their face.

Casey is still here, he just doesn't post any more cos a certain group of posters made it unpleasant for him. To people who said SW was overrun with lemmings, you should have been here last gen, or the start of this one, it was a cow pasture, when the PS3 games started flopping they all left and the lemmings were in the ascendancy for about a year. SW is no where as busy now nor as fun, same topics being rehashed. In addition to the other posters Keywii could guarantee a 100 post thread in 10 minutes whenever he posted lol

Im also suprised by this since people think it was lemmings destroying the cows from the beginning. And i remember the 360 launch, despite 360 having the best launch in the end, it was DESTROYED by cows. Games were compared to last gen among other things, heck i even remember alot of people saying the 360 was equal to or would only be a bit more powerful than the Wii.

Yes, System wars used to be *fun* to rage at. Now its just iritating. Several years ago you had many many hardcore fanyboys. It seems the only long time fanboy left it Killzoned. Still, Metathreads arent helping.

There were actual threads comparing Zelda TP and Kameo's graphics. Zelda won, believe it or not.

Some new executive got promoted to president of Cartoon Network last year, and wanted to change the network into a more casual network, but for kids. They changed the name from Cartoon Network to CN, and took advantage that the kids didn't know what CN stood for that they started showing LIVE ACTION shows on the channel. As a fan of the medium, I am insulted. TV.com (Gamespot, but for TV instead of games) even published an article about it.

lol dude, i was there :P Dont think Zelda TP vs Oblivion. I remember the majority of people saying, Kameo looked very bland and didnt have a unique art. It was all technical. As fanboyish as it was, i was also agreeing :cry: despite having a 360 and loving Kameo. My love for zelda blinds me and surpasses all else.

Im sure your like that with a game.
