You know what's depressing about N4G now?

I don't click on 360-game comment threads and think "I wonder what 360 fans think of this game?" anymore.

I now click and think "I wonder how PS3 fanboys are going to insult this game and/or what PS3 games they'll bring up as being better?"

Because apparently there's about 5 or 6 actual 360 owners left on this site, and the rest of the people are all PS3 owners just waiting around to take a dump on any 360 news that comes along.

I do more than complain about this site. Anyone taking an even-cursory look at my comment history will show that. You're just over-generalizing my tendancy to occasionally do so.

I like N4G as a concept, but it's hard to have a community-run site when it's clear that a good 80-90% of that community is bias towards a single console, and at least 50% of those people are HEAVILY biased towards that console and gang up on anyone or anything that doesn't support that bias.

Just because I dislike the way something is being run, though, doesn't mean I'm going to leave. Otherwise I'd have to move out of America.

I wasn't here last year, so quite honestly, I could care less what it was like then. What I CAN do is comment on how I WISH it was and how it SHOULD be - a community of GAMERS discussing GAMING NEWS, rather than a community of fanboy bickering.

You say it "didn't happen by accident" - care to elaborate?

High Definition - reading the killzone threads from the other day, there were no 360 fans in there stinking it up going "bah this is a rip off of gears 2" or whatever; ihonestly saw no comments like that in the killzone 2 news, correct me if im wrong. seems to happen alot more in 360 news, cause there's more ps3 people i guess. i was here last year for "all the craziness", and the ps3 fans were just as bad as you say 360 fans were

edit- @ below, i know youre not asking me; but ill tell you as a 360 fan last year it got pretty fvcking annoying having nasim/tanod/schmee/zambrota/ev erytime you popped his bubbles he makes anew account-guy/ going into every 360 thread preaching his blu ray, cell processor gospel. i know you dealt with B.S. too, the mart was probably the same to ps3 fans as nasim was to 360 fans .

HD- i was probably in the killzone thread last year saying how good the game looked. i know there were people sh1tting on it then; my point is fastfoward to now, when 360 fans arent sh1tting on the killzone 2 thread the other day, and ps3fans are sh1tting in the gears 2/banjo news. w/e its all good anyways and i dont mean to complain; just my take on it

@ Silellak and HD.

I have been on this site just short of a year I think. I it was pretty even with the trash talk on both sides at that point. Now it appears to be overrun with Sony/PS3 Fanboys. Maybe more Sony Fanboys are popping up as more PS3s are sold. The world will never know.

Edit: @HD

lodossrage - 584 days 13 hours ago

If you were here in 2007 or 2006 it was the same way against ps3 gamers.

For example, if by some chance a piece of Uncharted or Heavenly Sword news got out.

The first comments weren't about how the game might be good or not. The first comments were by xbox fans saying how badly the game would do or about it being a flop.

Especially uncharted. The first comments were almost always "gears of war rip off"

So to complain that now things have gone reverse is pointless.

And to be honest, this goes to ANY complainer. If you know how things are day in and day out around here why complain in the first place? You come back with the same tired rantings that NOBODY is listening to. Not to mention after months of you griping and complaining about the same old thing it hasn't changed anything now has it?

Obviously not since you whine about the same thing today that ya whined about months ago.

But I do like how MANY of the complainers are people that are just mad because the shoe is on the other foot.

P.S.- That's not an attack on you Silleak. It IS an attack on consistent complainers though

We should just forget about it. 360 and PS3 both have their games and banjo is one of them. Making this site miserable for others isn't the way it should be.

I'm pretty much afraid to look at any comments related to 360 anymore. Actually, even the news stories have become more biased. I've been thinking this for some time now buts its getting worse and worse by the day. and it is funny how ppl on here are talking like 360 is doing badly right now when it seems to be doing just fine to me. the thing is, most people who are gonna buy the systems don't come on website like N4G and spam about which system is better or whatever. They see what system their friends are playing and buy that system and enjoy it. People are spamming like their posts are actually gonna make a difference in sales, ya right. Also, whats up with the loyalty to the companies, F*** them. I say if you make a good system or game, i will buy your products. I don't understand, people are acting like they are major shareholders and the success of the company will determine their financial success. annoying

If you look at certain gaming articls and compare them, it's easy to see the about of sh^t ps3 fanboys cook up.

Look at "KZ2 debut thread" and the "Gears of war 2 thread" and tell me what you think? At least half of Geow 2's thread is just hate or uninterested fanboys, that bring up KZ2 more than I could count.

Comparing every game
Or they are just not interested
Or it is not as good as some game on the PS3.
Or MS copied someone/game on the PS3
Or their game list is still better.
Or only good game come to the PS3.
Or conspiracy theories run amuck

It's incredible, it has become a cespool..Some people speak out like yourself and others and I give them credit. But it's all apparent, just compare threads. The first couple of comments on anything big usually goes by the likes of what I posted.

Fanboyism is about 50/50. The difference is, the PS3 side tends to block more stories they don't want to see about their platform more than X360. That's been my observation of late.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the criticism as long as it's not in the gamer zone. Trying to suppress news that may not be to your liking is much more serious.

Back on topic, if those are in-game screens I'll probably give the game a look. Just as the latest LBP screens have me looking forward to that title as well.

And if your looking for a place where no one will blindly bash games just because they don't own the console it is on- you're not going to find it. Too many people hate what they can't have or don't understand, it's a sad basic of many's human behavior

So far its looking promising however, like others have said above these shots still don't look as good as Ratchet and Clank on the PS3.

Will be interesting to see how well a game like this sells on the 360 since Rare's Viva Pinata, an excellent title, was met with only luke warm success.

In the context of previous Rare titles, that is, when they were producing games for Nintendo, 1.2 million copies is nothing. One of the reasons MS purchased Rare was to garner some of that success for the 360 and as yet, it has not been anything more than a luke warm success.

I played and loved Viva Pinata, my kids also loved it. I for one can not understand why MS did not hype it up a hell of a lot more than they did.

Oh, by the way. I was not comparing Viva Pinata sales to R&C but merely the visuals. However, thanks for misreading and making your point.
Disagree all you like but I'll bet that Rare and MS are both quitely disappointed that Viva Pinata was not a bigger hit - especially since it garnered its own TV show!
