Identifying "fanboys" in the wild

Sure to ruffle a few feathers, but nothing short of painfully accurate, almost everyone will find a little something of themselves in this how-to guide about identifying people that love something a little too much.

From the article: "Over time, I've noticed that only certain games generate fanboyism, while others do not. Let's talk about who these fanboys are, so you can learn to spot them in the wild.

I'll just get the traditional fanboys out of the way. The easy to spot fanboys. Hmmm, let's see:

Halo Fanboys - Twenty something men that are visually identified by bulging neck veins, usually caused by screaming at anyone that doesn't bow down to Halo Jesus...."

Oh and Bloodmask

Silellak5899d ago

But I assume Sony fanboys are fine with you?

Hypocracy, thy name is Internet.

Exhaust5899d ago (Edited 5899d ago )

You must cry yourself to sleep at night knowing deep down inside how much of a completely biased, blind fanboy douche you are.

You're like the KKK calling the Nazis racist. LOL

Silellak5899d ago (Edited 5899d ago )

Remember folks:

It's okay to be stupidly loyal to a corporation that only wants your money and doesn't care about you at all, as long you're stupidly loyal to the RIGHT corporation that only wants your money and doesn't care about you at all!

Silellak5899d ago

LOL, holy crap, the Sony Defense Force swarmed in here and showed our posts no mercy! Look at those "disagree" counts rise for daring to mention that Sony fanboys JUST MIGHT be as bad as Microsoft fanboys!

Of course, every time they click "disagree", they're just further proving our point, but no one tell them that!

power of Green 5899d ago (Edited 5899d ago )

So says the one bubble rabid idiot named Xbotz suck. lol

360 fanboys don't spend all day every day trolling looking for anti PS3 news and bashing without end nor do they post news threads attacking Sony fans.

This site is so full of Sony fanboys any idiot can mention Xbox sucks or mention Xbox supporters in a negative light and this idiot will get tons of agree's.

Nice user pic moron. lol

Grow up kid.

*kettle meet black.

"360 fanboys don't spend all day every day trolling looking for anti PS3 news and bashing without end nor do they post news threads attacking Sony fans."

THAT'S EXACTLY ALL YOU DO EVERYDAY..

Goddamn, you're such a hypocrite.

Oh btw, PERSONAL ATTACK! I thought you hated those, right? You sure complained about them 20 times a day a few weeks ago.

power of Green 5899d ago (Edited 5899d ago )

Nice user pic.

Did you say something?. What?, 360 fans will dig up bad PS3 news in blogs and post them as news if they can't find bad news in the mainstream?.

WHAT!?, ARE YOU SAYING?.....

What?, 360 fans PM eachother and plan personal attacks on PS3 members?.

What?, 360 fans troll 24/7 looking for ways to make PS3 look bad?

What?, 360 fans troll every single PS3 game thread to bash PS3 games?.

What?, 360 fans drive away PS3 fans from this site and out number PS3 fans in PS3 threads?.

What?, 360 fans troll PS3 threads so much 360 fans cause PS3 fans to get blocked from the PS3 section?.

What?, 360 fans troll so much PS3 fans are no longer wanting to be a member of this site and 360 fans controll PS3 news where theres more 360 fans posting PS3 news than there is PS3 fans posting PS3 news?.

What?, 360 fans force PS3 fans to praise 360 games or be attacked?.

XBOX 3605899d ago (Edited 5899d ago )

Do you EVER listen? I'm not talking about 360 FANS.

I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU.

I don't lump 360 fans and PS3 fans together like you. I know there are some 360 fans who don't troll, and I know there are some that do, like you for instance. Same with PS3 fans. So stfu with that. Next you'll be telling me only African Americans or other minorities commit crimes.

YOU troll 24/7 looking for ways to make PS3 look bad?

YOU troll every single PS3 game thread to bash PS3 games?.

YOU drive away PS3 fans from this site and out number PS3 fans in PS3 threads?.

YOU troll PS3 threads so much 360 fans cause PS3 fans to get blocked from the PS3 section?.

YOU troll PS3 news trying to set an anti PS3 tone in PS3 threads?

YOU Post in PS3 threads trying to convince PS3 games are not worth anybodies time of day?.

YOU force PS3 fans to praise 360 games or be attacked?

And thanks for noticing my user pic. I seem to notice that you don't mention this to 360 fanboys who have anti-PS3 user pics.

Keep acting like a victim, no one believes you. You're a troll/liar/fanboy/etc wrapped up into one nice little package.

Spinner5899d ago

Wow, blade...

Did you forget the years 2006 and 2007? Where this site was littered with nonstop "news" of every blog and forum post with Anti-PS3 news.

Did you forget E3 2006? All that FUD?

Yes? Ok.

power of Green 5899d ago

Stop replying to me idiot people have better things to do than trying to decipher belligerent malice driven points of view from guys named *Xbots Suck* and guys that use anti MSFT user pics in a PS3 website. lol

I Love Xbox 3605899d ago (Edited 5899d ago )

PoG You Used To Be Cool ... Oh Wait No Sori I Mistaked You For Someone Else.

JUMP OUT AND PLAY B3YOND !!!

JasonPC360PS3Wii5899d ago

This is one of the best threads I have ever seen.

Antan5899d ago

"Stop replying to me idiot people have better things to do than trying to decipher belligerent malice driven"

Shhesh, verbal abuse is it now POG? tut tut. I also had trouble trying to read your hilarious rant! I think you need to regroup, take stock (and your meds) of your situation and get some URGENT grammar lessons! Then you need to calm down and quit crying ALL THE TIME! "Malice this", "rabid that", do you know just how desperate you ALWAYS sound? Fanboys from both sides get on my nerves on N4G, but everyone of them bar you just keep things down to "mines bigger than yours" type comments. You go many MANY steps further and take nigh on EVERYTHING personally!
Is it really THAT important in you life? Is it worth all the hasle and disagrees you seem to get? Is it really? You have serious social issues and you really need to take a break from N4G champ, then come back a stronger and more laid back person, ready for the trials and tribulations that is N4G.

As someone who is normally pro-mocking of any sort of fanboy (particularly Corporate Fanboys), I have to say, this wasn't terribly funny.

fenderputty5899d ago

now that is entertainment. Watching fanboys argue over the definition of fanboyism and finger pointing is just classic. POG is in there acting like a saint. I mean ... that stuff should be saved and then sent back to the sarcasticgamer to show them what they started.

Covenant5899d ago

Well, all one really needs is a good fanboy shield, which consists of:

--Rational thought,

--Coherent ideas,

--Intelligent discourse,

--And, of course, naked women.

Fanboys don't know what to do with any of those things.

DarkSniper5899d ago

The only fanboys that seem to take their console loyalty to an unrealistic proportion are the Microslaves. The Microslaves on N4G have been known to post baseless and simply untrue facts about their console and the gaming industry in general. Their sole existence should be terminated from life period.

Thankfully Dark Sniper has his legion of Sony Snipers who indulge in a mature, respectful community here at N4G. With your help, we can get rid of the disgrace of the internet community known as Red Light 360 Baboons.

$niper

Silellak5899d ago

You know what, I'll believe Microsoft fanboys are worse than Sony fanboys when someone creates a Microsoft-themed website like http://www.sonydefenseforce... and has people wondering if either:

1) It's a parody website

or

2) People are actually *that* stupid

caffman5899d ago

"Thankfully Dark Sniper has his legion of Sony Snipers who indulge in a mature, respectful community here at N4G. With your help, we can get rid of the disgrace of the internet community known as Red Light 360 Baboons."
Respectful doesn't mean calling people baboons. I however have never said anything about being respectful to you.
You are a completely delusional, rubber room needing, mashed banana eating, straight jacket wearing, always talk in the third person twat of the highest order. SERIOUSLY GET SOME HELP FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!

Kaz Hirai5899d ago (Edited 5899d ago )

It's a tragic shame that N4G is so infected with Xbot PIGS. Their fanboyish loyalty to Nazisoft is truly sickening! Sony Soldiers, you must help your King to purge this site of the SWINE and stop them from spreading their notorious verbal diarrhea.
However, King Kaz is grateful to have such a respectful, logical fanbase! Sony Soldiers- thank you!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

XBOX 3605899d ago

XBOTS are the fu[king worst. They resort to making up sh!t to try and flame.

We don't need to make up anything, their console does all the flaming for us. :P

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756104d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00104d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic104d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing104d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic104d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos105d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin104d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris104d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine104d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz104d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.
