What is it with this generation?

Why are gamers so pinned down into arguing about the better game console when it's not even your problem if you're not making money from it? Why can't we all just get together in a table and talk about how good games are not how the tool used to play them does things. We can share things, such as you can talk about how good Gears of war is to us people that haven't played it ( including people with xbox that just won't play it ) or how much fun it is to get your friends killed in New super mario bros, or talk about what silly things you did that was fun in little big planet, or just spend some time making fun of Final Fantasy 13. Call me stupid, but I hope one day we can all play a good Gold Rush match together and take each other's dogtags. Or let's us play Dark Souls while you gather souls I'll go behind you and push you down a cliff to revive myself.

Not sure, it's mainly PC gamers who love bringing this topic up, and then getting mad, when anyone challenges their ideals and notions. Basically they want to start conflict, but they dont want others calling them out for their BS.CODMan2014

At least it keeps you consolites from breeding.

Theres a difference between an ideal and a fact.

Have you not noticed that every human being on this planet has a tendency to express their preferences of A over B (whether it be a product, place, school, idea, etc.)? Why it's never enough to simply enjoy what you're experiencing without critiquing other viable alternatives to your preferences is something inscribed into our genetic structure. It's not necessarily the fault of the person expressing his opinion of A as opposed to B but the interpretation of it that can give rise to conflict. Man is such.

But GGD is dull as dirt. :P

I must have been living in a box, or there was a huge outbreak this generation. Everyone seemed okay with whatever in my side on earlier generations, it all had seemed to start when console games started having online features. No idea what the relation might be but it seems to me that it gets worse every day. I would just wish in the future that at least some competitive game is developed where all the consoles can play together w/o knowing they're from different consoles.

You obviously weren't around during the 16-bit wars. . .what a mud sling fest that was.

To all of you hippies that think it's idiotic to argue over which game platform is better... General Games Discussion is over there somewhere. Leave the battlefield for the true System Warriors!

Arguing about which platform/game is better has been around ever since there was more than one of each. I still remember the PC-Mac-Amiga wars, Nintendo vs Sega, PSX vs N64 vs Saturn. D3D vs OpenGL, 3dfx vs nVidia vs ATI.

Nothing's changed for better or worse which is fine with me.

Agreed but at least the topics have variation instead of graphics thread A and B.

I find that the people in the general sections are dumber and more fanboyish than in this forum. I cannot explain why.ActionRemix

They really are. They're probably afraid to come here because the hardcore fanboys probably won't last all that long. One time on the 360 forum I remember someone said that games on PC just don't sell and that's why devs are cutting support for it or something along those lines. I responded. Five, I kid you not, FIVE people tried to take me on at once, defending the 360 and bashing the PC. It was hilarious! :lol:

The PC forums aren't dumb though. It's the console ones. That Wii board for instance.... OH. MY. GOD. You will be embarrassed to admit you own a Wii if you spend any amount of time in that forum.....

I didn't see anything wrong with that section, it's 'aight.. 360 section though is beyond salvation.

The Wii board is just too cult-like, man. Nintendo knows what's best. Always. I think the only negative thing I've seen in there has been Operation Rainfall. Other than that, those Wii owners are a weird bunch.

If anyone says ANYTHING against something that Nintendo has a part in the entire board will rush on you. It's not exactly a secret that I view Metroid Prime 3 as the most disappointing game of this gen. Stating that on the Wii boards caused some fire. And ever since NOBODY on there responds to me. They've got like this evil council or something that no one knows about. Because it can't be a coincidence. :P

Its always been there, the internet has just made it more prevelent

Damn, that sounds fun as hell. Now i know what i'm gonna do wen i'm bored.

I know, I just wish gamers would treat eachother so repsectfully and nicely like the Nintendo fans and Sega fans did back in the day...

eh, for some reason I think this Generation is actually a little bit more obsessed with da Graphics than other generations. Not sure why I think that because the Bit Wars also had some what of a huge "Graphics" debate too.

It probably seems worse this gen because previous gens were a complete domination by Sony, i wasnt on system wars for them but i doubt lemmings were posting much last gen, i mean what could they argue about? sales....nope, game library.......nope, probably graphics and Live? someone fill me in on last gens sytem wars

That stuff isn't exclusive to this generation. I've heard this stuff's been going on ever since the Nintendo-Sega rivalry.

Every gen is like this...

There's always GGD.
It's dull,but it's not SW.

No I didn't.

Maybe because you weren't involved with video games during those generations?

Also, the internet by and large didn't exist in the '80s + early 90s. The existence of the internet definitely precipitated video game debates.

Oh. This type of thread. THe 'can't we all get along thread', that pop up in such communities from time to time. Not trying to offend you TC or anything, but, if everyone stopped arguing...well, where's the fun in that? have you thought about it? If wars stopped, there was peace all around the world and everyone became holy saints, no arguments or disputes, ever, the world would be kinda boring. IMO!

it's what this forum is for.
