[QUOTE="AD216"]exactly. we grew up with all of these different machines so why should we want to see any of them die or under perform? thats what some of these kids refuse to comprehendJandurin

[QUOTE="tagyhag"]You don't want to be a manticore. Manticores are funny, they think they're 100% unbiased and don't favor anything over the other. Newsflash, unless you're a robot, that's not physically possible.WitIsWisdom

How so? I liked the PS2 and original Xbox equally. I prefered the games on the PS3 this generation over the games on 360, but I like the 360 UI and ease of access and online features more, while I still loved Nintendo exclusives which as alwys are in a league of their own. However, the Wii was my least favorite of the 3 overall even though a couple of the games were either at the top or damn near the top of my favorite games of the generation.

Nintendo and PC can provide MUCH different experiences than Playstation and Xbox.

SOME people prefer the best of ALL worlds.

Why the hell would I be bias when I grew up with all the consoles way before online gaming even existed?

One minute I would play Mario, then the next Sonic. As I got a little older I could play Goldeneye, MoH, Halo, Red Faction, Doom, Quake (just to name 1 genre)... etc. etc.

My top 10 in each genre list would easily vary from all consoles and makers over every generation. Explain that.

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] The idea of a manticore originally was someone who had all the platforms and was more or less unbiased. In SW thats usually a means of stealth trolling, everyone has their biases, admit to it and bat for a team! Thats my view :PShewgenja

Eveyone may be bias to a certain extent, but if you fully support each console and PC in general and buy the games you want for each, that doesn't qualify? I have been buying/playing games for ALL consoles for almost 30 years... th X1 will be the first main console I don;t buy, but it has nothing to do with being bias... it is principle and for the uture of gaming.

I would like to see my favorite hobby continue for another 30 years... however, it appears MS doesn't care if they tear down the industry as long as they make their money beofre if all goes up in flames. I'm sure I will miss out on some great games, and the console looks great. However, I bought the 360 (2 of them) and the Xbox (3 of them). I also have an Xbox library (xbx and 360 combined) that is probably over 200 games deep.

I have 100's of Nintendo games

100's of Sega games

100's of Playstation games

100's of PC games (a lot of which are not even listed on this site)

I would say I qualify if eve there was a case... hell, I would say most game collectors qualify.

[QUOTE="AD216"]lmao kid i play nearly all if not all the genres. and since where a sports game and fps are 2 of the highest selling franchises in the history of gaming, that makes u sound even more terribleJandurin

:lol:

Unless you're 70 years old, you have no right to say that to Jand.

You don't become a manticore so you can be unbiased. You do it so you can bash a console from an informed, non-hypocritical position.PurpleMan5000

[QUOTE="AD216"]and then most games would be close to outdated at that time, especially an online gameJandurin
