You not a gamer just because you own all three systems.

That was no insult. What he said about SW is true. If you try to use logic, you won't be understood. Either your trying really hard to "own" someone, I suggest you look around SW a little harder.

a true gamer is a person who has not an alliance to any console. The winner of the next wars should not matter to a true gamer since the only thing that is important is when games are released. One of the unique qualities of a true gamer is they refuse to take part in threads like "360 owns ps3" or Ps3 owns" as it does not matter to them who has the most powerful machine.

If you make the statement - "I will never buy a 360" then that likely suggest that you are not a "true" gamer.  There are quality games on all systems, and if you intentionally miss out on them because of your overriding fanboy delusions, than I don't think you can really call yourself a true gamer.

So someone that doesn't agree with you is an insult then? Wow.

That's right, I said it. You're no better than anybody else. Don't act high and mighty calling yourself a gamer because you own all consoles. That doesn't define a gamer. I have a Wii and a PS3, but will never buy a 360. Does that not make me a gamer. NO!!!! So, you manticores stop putting the idea of a true gamer is someone with all consoles. Gamers are the ones who appreciates value in ALL Games not ALL consoles.shungokustasu

You say that Gamers are the ones who appreciates value in ALL Games...

Yet you relentlessly bash shooters and many other games on the Xbox 360...

And you have the right to define what a "true gamer" is? :?

No - you said a true gamer finds values in ALL games not systems.  Yet you purposelly deny yourself access to a third of the exclusive titles (games) for next gen based on your prejudice.  You are in conflict with your own logic.  I think a true gamer would like to have access to all great titles.  Currently the 360 has the best game library - yet you have no access to any of that. 

So owning an Atari 26000, NES, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, 360, Wii a gaming PC and pretty soon the PS3, doesn't make me a gamer? OMG! WHATEVER WILL I DO!

I'm a gamer and nothing will change that.

Don't get me started on the handhelds.

No, it's not really. Saying someone's idea is silly is not an insult nor a smallest kind of insult at all. Believe me, I've had a lot of insults thrown my way because of what I am.

But if someone disagreeing with you equals an insult... then thats your problem. Not mine.

My father said he was going to buy one but I was born... so... that changed everything. He tried to get one but they became hard to find after they were discontinued in 1994.

My point isn't that you have to own every system out there.  It has more to do with the reasoning.  If you say I don't want a wii because I'm a diehard sony fanboy, then I don't consider you a true gamer.  That's someone who is willing to either overlook a ton of quality titles just because of their prejudices.  How can they then be considered to be a true gamer?

I didn't say that. All I did was point out a contradiction in your own statement.

Since you say gamers need to appreciate value in all games, how can you call yourself a gamer when you don't appreciate the value in First Person Shooters? You don't even fit into your own definition of a true gamer.

I also had some issues with the "I have a Wii and a PS3, but will never buy a 360" statement, since that just makes you seem like all the other PSWii fanboys running around here that bash the Xbox 360 and get mad when people say they aren't true gamers.

Am I saying you have to own all three consoles to be a ture gamer? No. Because not everyone has the means to do that. I am saying that your definition is true, and that you need to appreciate the value in all games and all genres. Like them or not. I don't necessarily like JRPG's but you don't see me running around here saying that they're "The worst genre" or that they suck becuase I know that even though I don't necessarily like some of them, they are still great games.

My point isn't that you have to own every system out there.  It has more to do with the reasoning.  If you say I don't want a wii because I'm a diehard sony fanboy, then I don't consider you a true gamer.  That's someone who is willing to either overlook a ton of quality titles just because of their prejudices.  How can they then be considered to be a true gamer?
