Question for you guys:Why all this hate?
« on: April 03, 2002, 07:20:32 AM »
Okay,  


after reading Ryu\'s thread about Zero Tolerance, I thought I would see what the deal was.



As some people would say, I\'m a former Xbox hater, yes, i bashed the console on an everyday basis back when it was announced. I changed my tune after i saw a few games in motion. I don\'t really hate MS for entering the console industry, I just think that they over estimated themselves, by thinking that Xbox is/was the best thing since sliced bread. I liked mine when I first got it.  But lately the games have been crap, according to the reviews, so I haven\'t really tried out any of the new ones due to that.    I bought a PSX about 3 years ago, and I was happy with that,  so, i stuck by my PSX until PS2 came out, and went on to purchuse that.  I can\'t say I\'ve been let down by PS2 at all, where-area\'s Xbox just dissapoints me, I mean, everyone praises Halo. Its a great game, but the frame rate problems gave me headaches everynight(I am not joking.)  But anyways, whats with all the hate against Sony, MS, or Nintendo.



Post your LOGICAL reasonings, not just mindless bickering please.   I don\'t want to see a thread go to hell.

Well I happen to agree! I don\'t know why theres people who hate the X-Box or people who hate the PS2 etc, I put it down to fanboyism (if such a word exists).

People hate MS, not so much xbox. If you have to ask why you\'re out of touch.

The hate for Sony goes with being #1. Taking heat for either knocking off Sega or dethroning Nintendo. Not living up to the hype is just an excuse as far as I can tell. Faulty products? I won\'t argue with anyone who says so but I, and a few million other people, can\'t relate.

Nintendo is the prince of gaming and also a spoiled brat. Seen as squeezing every penny it can from 3rd parties and consumers alike simply because they can. Being penny wise and pound foolish cost them the crown.

The true haters just don\'t last around here, which is why I think this zero tolerance policy is a joke. We didn\'t need it when the PS2 was getting bashed day after day and we don\'t need it now.

I share Bobs_H surprise at Terry asking this question, Terry being one of the ones accussed of bashing xbox (last week Jon27, not last year)

I\'ll just add 2 cents in...

I haven\'t been too impressed with any of the 3 consoles, other than DOA 3, graphically, of course...

Games?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Sorry, didn\'t get into Halo or Star Wars or (insert big title here)...
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Oh boy... :rolleyes:

You admit to once being a zealot yourself, and yet you ask people why they hate a console?  You of all people should know the answer, XBH.

But I have a question...

Nice guy. ;)

I don\'t hate MS and Bill gates. I just like making fun of them. :D

YES!!!

I got Mr Admin on my side...

Seriously...

The best gaming I\'ve had this generation is from the DC, if you can include DC with the other 3...

I\'m not saying all or most of the DC games were great but the ones that came out in 2000, right around the time of the JP PS2 launch through Spring 2001, were the very best.

RE: C:V, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Shenmue, PSO were most enjoyable...

However, most games released afterwards, including DC, were rather unappealing.

The last great game I\'ve played, other than Shenmue 2, is Grandia 2. How sad that a game 2 years old is still better than 90% of what companies spew out.

I don\'t see what the big deal is. It\'s people opinions on a console. Its to the person\'s opinion to decide whether a console sucks or not. No wonder I hardly ever come into Console Debate. Same people getting into fights over the same damn crap. I could seriously care less about these "Console wars". I got PS2 because the games are more oriented toward the genre\'s I liked and sequels to games I like (MGS2 and GTA3) along with some kickass games on the side (TimeSplitters (If I ever get it working again) Kinetica, GT3, ect). Just my 2 cents.

Bill Gates beat me up once, then Ken Kutaragi beat him up. That\'s why I choose the PS.2 over teh Xbox. And since Mr.Myamoto just sat there and did nothing I not to fond of the GameCube either.

:p

But in all seriousness I don\'t hate any of the consoles and have never bashed one of them.
I recently discovered that my ass is the key to the universe.....now I must fight to protect my ass from those who might abuse it!!!
