You know ...the people who often calls other fanboys are usually the biggest fanboy themselves....action speaks louder than words.

Cheers.

Funny thing is, some of these fanboys are actually fans of the games themselves, otherwise they wouldnt be gaming on the three major consoles, unlike others who shuts themselves out of other consoles or in denial that there might be other games that are better than on their current consoles.

Which is a more possible fanboy, the one who game on one console or the ones who game on all three.At least the one who game on all three consoles, had seen what the other consoles have to offer, had broader view on the gaming scene and is more informed on what games are better since they had seen all the gamess offered on all fronts.

But then, it's easier on the mind of some people to slap the label "fanboy", than actually reading between the lines.Maybe the tunneling program of their choice on their Xboxes had tunnel-visioned their mindset on things too.....

This is the type of comment that piss ppl off. You put yourself on the high ground while others are just fanboy punk kids. This is an arragont post like what i stated in xbox introduction thread.

Game on all 3 consoles are not your life. You can't actually finish all the game even you, you can't say other don't know a single thing while you know almost everything. That's when gaming site, magazine review come in. That's the purpose of gaming review website/mag. We buy something we think which suit us best.

What kind of music you are listening to now? Rock?Jazz?Pop? You like heavy metal? Pop suck? Have you listen to all the pop song from all over the world? No, so everybody are suppose to listen to every single pop song available to understand whether pop song are for them is it? It's just like the gaming world.
Stop giving remark like you are perfect for once for chris sake.

Did you even finish all the game on all 3 consoles? If you do, that must be sad 'coz you spend your 24 hours on all 3 consoles. If you can't, you are not qualify to say you know every single aspect of the gaming world nowadays. Just xbox games itself i having hard time to finish it all, with pc games...and some of the ps2 title.
You favor psp over ds and having argument with other ds fanboy there. Does that not make you a fanboy? Everybody is a fanboy to something.

So you are still bias in someways don't you think? You are human being. Your comment about supporting the games not the console are accurate, but the latter....are not.

Well said!!! I wanted to add something, but no need liao...you've said it all, bro.

I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOU ANYMORE FURTHER..

you dont have to listen to every single pop song to tell which is nice or not
but u cannot jump into conclusion that those pop song that you've never heard isnt good... in the same manner.. you didnt play many good ps2 games coz you think you didnt like it ---> might actually be a good game... and trust me, i game most xbox games you played... i know what im talking about..

notice: i didn't say xbox dont have quality games.. im saying its not more than ps2..


and matrix u dont have to lick private john shoe everytime he post..
everybody know ur role already... backing up private john with "burger king" theory..
seriously this doesnt make u look any smarter..

u want fanboyism?
i'll show you..



hahaha... way to go fanboy!

hm... calm down guys,

why would u all keep 'shooting' at each other about which console is the best or what...

someone love xbox. some other love ps2. its up to each person own.

then what's the point to argue about the sales, the number of games, the quality of games, bla bla bla...

as long u enjoy ur console, then fine lah...

Ya it's the same manner but i own most of the famous ps2 games because my brother love ps2. I can take screenshot if you want.
I got your point but what i just telling you is ps2 have a great library of certain genre if you into it otherwise ya should go for something else.
Notes : I never jump into conclusion ps2 have no great games at all. It's different genre you will find in each unique console.

Like pop song, boy bands gain popularity, go to tower records 7 out of 10 are pop song. Boyband are extremely famous in asia region. Still some might go for jazz, rock, trance. Not everybody gona like justin timberlake eventhough his record are like mad. You can find 10 great pop song among po world, 3 great classic music doesn't mean one have no choice but to hop in world of pop song. Some likes all as long as it sounds good to them.

BTW, your last post abit too much...might create more disaster in this flame war. Everybody who is involve in this flame war knows their own mistake, each of us actually are contributing to the flame war. People who doesn't are like Chrisky, H@h@ (for not taking side, good mod), Uzumaki NaruTo in xbox introduction thread, Zaryl.
Now..back to the topic and no more flaming.

This post has been edited by PrivateJohn: Mar 3 2005, 06:41 PM

Wow, some of you are trying really hard to flame others without looking like it. I mean really... Sideways attacks will only get pass the most dim-witted of opponents and unfortunately many here aren't in that category.

Can we please stop talking about semantics and just go back to discussing the merits of each console INDIVIDUALLY? For the benefit of the doubt, just assume that everyone only owns ONE console... Seeing as ppl with more than one console will (Duh!) have that ONE console anyway, I suppose its the easier middle ground compared to forcing everyone to assume talk in the context of all 3 consoles which is ludicrous for the average joe (Or Ali, Ah Meng, Muthu or whatever)

If you want to argue as to what a fanboy really is, or whether mainstream music is being bombarded by useless teeny boppers and countless rappers(Just an example ), please start a new thread in Koptiam...

The rest of us are here for the games.

I try, and yet backlog asides , id like to think that i have dabbled in those three major consoles enough to form an weighted and intelligent surmization of them.Dont easily assume others are like you, weighted down by works most.Same here, but guess what, i bring my consoles with me everytime i go on my worktrips, and these helps clearing the backlogs. Nothing to be ashamed of, nor does your presumption that those who game on three consoles doesnt have a life outside of a console world. Id like not to assume your day-by-day itinerary, and id appreciate if you dont slap your presumption that my daily life mirrors yours.

So much for the analogies and knickknacks, that is still bypassing the issue that you refuse to try what other consoles have to offer , by using that excuse that you buy something that suits you best. You dont HAVE to buy one, you only need to hang out with those who have one.Try it, you might get a different perspective when you hang out with those who are outside your familiar territory.Since you like analogies, i'll use one now.It's like stepping out of your house, grabbing a seat on a plane to Amsterdam, and realised that there is more to that particular city than tulips. It broadens one's horizons and view of things once one is exposed to such experiences.



Yes, i favor the PSP over the DS, but that is after i have tasted what both consoles have before i come to that conclusion. I tried Feel the Magic, MArio DS, and WarioWare on the DS, and got myself almost 10 games for the PSP, AND THEN i made the conclusion that favor the PSP over the DS. Does that not make the argument more valid, because i have tried my hands on all of them? If you must label me as a fanboy, then yes , im more inclined towards the PSP than the DS with the current available lineup, but i will never make or form a conclusion unless i have tried all there is to offer on both sides of the competing parties. The sad and ironic thing is, the other person i debated with, Pip-X, have not even have either a DS or the PSP, and he is arguing for the sake of his nostalgia for Nintendo! How's that for a fair and justful debate?

And to that particular person who tried so hard to form his articulation that could be his best attempt at licking someone's a$$(Matrix), you need to try harder.Your stand in here, only shows how you sorely lack in having your own stand in things. And lets not forget your console of choice only qualify as your preferred choice because it is piratable. Surely this is a sign of a well-rounded gamer *sarcasm*.

If that's the case i am no difference from you. I own ps2 and xbox. I played devil may cry, final fantasy, gt series, suikoden, getaway, killzone, omnimusha and some slg game. Most of it i didn't finish it, i just let my brother play after awhile. I even list out some of my favourite ps2 games in an old thread. Is that an assumption like you accuse people of? So don't make it an excuse an if you are doing the same thing by giving assumption out of other people. You did your part in contributing to this flamewar like any of us.
Same goes to fanboy, don't accuse others are fanboy as if you are not one of 'em.
Fanboy is just a term, everybody have their own favourite something. It's only consider wrong and extreme when one condem another product oppose to his. You start arguing with matrix few post back because you feel uneasy with his favor towards xbox? Doesn't it makes you the same thing, otherwise why bother posting a reply to him. Indeed you can have all 3 consoles but you will still have your favourites. Like i do with a ps2 & xbox. You spoken yourself you prefer psp over ds handheld. We are human being, you can't change that fact.

As for gamecube i have never play before therefore my comment i stated i never play a gc before, perhaps those who go for gc are into those classic title like zelda mario etc. Since when i said something bad about gamecube? Some multi console owner even quote saying gamecube is expensive in malaysia because he is SUPPORTING pirated product. If they are talking about original game & machine, in foreign country, which is cheaper?


Now everything you said are abit contradict to yourself ain't it?
First you trying to imply one must own 3 console to have better perspective of the gaming world (which is correct), but now you are saying something else like what i mentioned above.

It's true try it only you know but those are for people who have misleading thought on certain games like A console suck because he doesn't even own one. Still, people who doesn't own anything yet will go through survey and review to get something best for themselves. Otherwise, there is no point for gaming review and advertisement nowadays.

So these are non relevant as far as i can tell. Check out my old post if you don't believe. I stated all the reason which people go for ps2, which go for xbox, and gamecube thus slowly from debate it evolves to flame wars.
With all of these, why bother coming in a thread and post something off topic to add some fuel to the flame in xbox introduction thread, you jump in to conclusion not knowing what we are debating about.
If i am making an assumption out of an xbox user, then perhaps i am the only guy in this world who bought xbox for that. Sidenote, I didn't even mention about all the xbox user in this world buy xbox because they are like me. So it's your own assumption.

If what i said so far are false and just assumption, maybe other bought xbox for jap rpg Final Fantasy, PS2 for first person shooter HALO 2, gamecube for strategy game Command & Conquer. Since i don't own a gamecube, given the fact that all the info from gaming media are not very accurate and my experience on ps2 & xbox doesn't help.

I gotta hand it to stringfellow and that what..prazole?? BIGGEST FANBOYS in LOW YAT FORUM...EVER!!!

Really, your unprovoked anger amused me! Just because i agree with PJ sensible thinking and I am angrily accused as a heratic, boot licking and what's not???

And aren't you, the ARROGANT ROYAL HIGHNESS STRINGFELLOW doing the same thing by licking to prazole(whatever his nick...can't seem to remember it because it's so insignificant) by readily accusing me of licking to PJ??

MAN IN THE MIRROR dude.

Anyone who has any sense can see that you 2 guys are way over the border. PJ has talk in a calm manner and yet the reply from you 2 guys is just getting hotter each time. Why?? Didn't take a cold shower last night??

And btw, if you want war, don't expect long and time wasting reply from me. But i might give you a line or two if your blabberings amused me enough...

Prazole: Why!! You even took the trouble of highlighting my sig!!! You amazed me!!! Just how old are you???

Carry on Jesters!!! Thou shalt entertain!!!

I have seen threads like this on other forums and it never cease to amaze me how much anger it stirs up every time. It's always controversial.

All it needs now is someone to post and say PC is better than consoles for gaming.


Bear in mind, that if someone dislikes a particular console, it is just the console
he/she dislikes. Not you. No discredit to the choices that you have made.
No need to feel personal and defend your position.
You made your decision to own specific console(s) based on your own reasons.
No need others to agree or validate it.
Just enjoy what you have.

The forum should be a place for people with similar interests to share information, tips and help each other out. Debates should be encouraged but not arguments that lead into personal attacks. Disagreements are fine but no 'fighting'/flaming should be tolerated.

Moderator(s) if there are no further constructive discussions on this, I think we should close this thread and move on...

so what fanboy am i? PS2?
HAHAHA... you must be kidding me..
ur the one not able to own all consoles.. n worship ur xbox blindly..
gezzzz....

at least im not the one with "XBOX IS THE KING" signature here, fanboy!
i didnt not buy xbox to play "PINBALL" btw, laugh my ass out!

i did not accuse you.. u juz OWNED yourself over and over..
do yourself a favor dude, dont post anymore.. u r making urself looking bad..

As much as I'd like to close this thread, there's now ONE place where all the fanboys can gather and so I can happily close any other thread along the lines of "PS2 vs. Xbox".

Well, at least the 'discussion' is still (A stretch really) civil... I'll sit this one out until things start to escalate.

Console user will stand united. PC user will die terribly here hehe.

This post has been edited by PrivateJohn: Mar 4 2005, 02:16 PM

and i tought the reason this thread got red icon is beacause more and more reviews from other consoles .purpose for this thread is to introduce the newbies for different type of consoles. now become flame wars again. this thread should be on a natural ground for all three major console. right now i only see flame flame flame flame. whats wrong with gamers nowadays? everyone is waiting like hunting dogs to see anyone makes a mistake. one flaw then boom. chasing and biting all the way. then theres the cheering team who puts petrol and light fire.


heh agree with you on this one H@H@. at least they are not using name calling yet (other than the favourite "fanboy" term). one thing for sure the future of console sub forum is going to be like the real world thread if people keeps acting like kids. i mean making flaming sigs really immature man. grow up la. even i got my ps2 still have time to browse and enjoy others console screenies.

heres a new attitude that most of us forumers should at least try to adept.
1)when your are reading something that annoys you,it would be wiser to let that craptalker to talk alone and leave them alone. sooner or later they will realize that people actually dont like what they do and they will either go back to the hole where they come from or learn a thing or two
about manner.

2) if you see others doing mistake try politely to correct them rather than using caps and literally jumps on the mistake. we all are civilized person eh? some of us have the leisure of multiple console while others have one (poor students like me) so share knowledge is the best way to do. clamining have multiple consoles and making hoo haa whenever sees someone make mistake.doesnt show your maturity you know.

i know personal attacks is really sucks (experience this from real world thread) but just ignore them. just use the report button and let the mods do the job. dang, the console thread is getting much more tense by day. (probabbly the weather).

Point 1:- What am i a fanboy of? I gushed when DOA:U was in my hands, i squeal with delight when REsident Evil 4 arrived, and i whooped with joy when Tekken 5 was mine. What fanboy am i? Fanboy of all three consoles?

Point 2:- Bootlicking? Seems like you, Matrix, refer most about PrivateJohn' in your post than me or prazole referrig to each other in each other's responses to you. Everyone here knows that you only quipped when PJ states his opinions, and shushes up when the things turn quiet.Sound familiar, or do i need to point out the obvious of your a$$kissing ways, Matrix? Your post, my dear Matrix, has little to no value in terms of information, or anecdotal ponderings whatsoever.

Point 3:-My dear PJ, my quibble with Matrix was his skewed preference towards a game on the Xbox, Forza Motorsport, with his claims that it trumped GT4 in terms of looks. My statement to him is that he should try on both games in High DEfinition mode, before coming to any conclusion. His lovefest with Forza was ridiculous because he had already claimed victory with that game even before the game hits store shelves!Fair game you say?It then escalates into his braggard scoffing statement that those who buy originals are stupid, and would rather spend money on pirated games.I replied this arrogant claim with telling him off that his time spent playing pirated games is like standing on the shoulders of giants, he is playing his games at the expense of those who fully and properly supports the industry by buying originals, so he should not have stated that statement so arrogantly.That's is when i try not to respond to any of his posts, but his arrogant ways had me to respond back.

Point 4:- You seem like a rational person to trade verbal blows with, PJ, unlike MAtrix who continue to fuel the embers here with his simian retorts.. I still dont agree with your stand in this, but i dont see any way i could either make you see things differently or think of the other alternatives. And yes, PC users will die a horrible , roasted-on-a-spit kinda death if they dare mess around with the console community.

Im definitely not throwing in the towel, but im going to try turning this thread into is projected purpose, by offering a ceasefire between the "warring parties". Id rather not see some stupid post by some newbie who would stir up $hit in here by typing another one of those post of why "console X wins over console Y"..If that had to happen again, rest assured that i'll be here again to correct what i feel is wrong.

One warning though, if that simian Matrix comes in here and belittle this truce offer with his acidic response, i'll dispense with the pleasantries and with be forced to defend myself against him, be it civilly or in a more aggresive ways. Take it or leave it, id like to think i've done my part, the ball is in your park now......

I like XBOX coz' many great title like HALO 2,DOA3,Forza Motorsports,PGR2,Breakdown.But,it depend on people taste to like the game or not.

PS2 for now,not open it for a month.Maybe after MC3 was out,I will open the PS2.......[Long time not open a PS2 can cause dust,man]

Ha! Ha! Just look at that Prazole!!! So desperate trying to de-crypt my signature!!

You know, if you're so desperate you can always put your sig
<INSERT YOUR FAV CONSOLE/BURGER/TV SHOW/WHATEVER> IS KING!!

I promise I won't sue you or flame you or anything like that.

Well, I've to give you credits. You try hard, at least partially entertaining. I'll give you 5/10.


Stringfellow: You're getting stale. Endless paragraph of crap which nobody bothers to read. No points for you. Try harder!!!

Well, my loyal subjects!! Carry on clowning!! Thou shalt be rewarded with higher points from your king!!!

The score:

Prazole : 1
Stringfellow : 0

Rest assure i will not come up with something like console "X wins over console Y", at least my part.

Now lets sign some peace treaty....what is it call in the pirates of caribbean...parley or something, whatever and stop giving reason and replying to all the post.
