Fanboy Arguments you've Heard

[Small Waves]

The ones I can understand:
-It's fit for a niche group (Some rhythm games and bullet-hell vertical shmups typically follow under this category)
-I'm not a fan of the genre (I personally detest sports games, so it's natural that I wouldn't like Madden or other sports titles)
-It's too hard (For those who are new to the genre. Should have started off with something more beginner-friendly)


Shitty arguments:
-It's too easy (Vague seeing how even simple games can be enjoyable)
-It's popular (lol hipster)
- The fanbase is detestable (Doesn't have any affect on the gameplay itself)
-But they changed X! (This gets to me ESPECIALLY if it's about something stupid like Brawl not having wave-dashing. One mechanic =/= whole game)


Either way:
- Too old (To enjoy some games you had to have been there, but if you play games that are just as graphically unimpressive, you're full of crap)

Anyone who makes a statement about what they like, immediately go into detail as to why and then dismiss everything you say and not listen at all

Someone once told me that Halo 3 is better than LittleBigPlanet... yeah

1: both different genres
2: halo is terrible
3: LBP is awesome

# 2 and # 3 are your opinion, and completely nullify the point you were trying to make in your post.

OT: "The Wii is a terrible game system because it's so kiddy."

Um, ok. First off, there are a good 3 games that are worthy of praise on the Wii to prove this wrong.

Any of the games are certainly NOT for children, and I dare anybody to disagree with me.

The only people I know who even looked twice at madworld are 12 year olds that used the word "awesome" too many times to be properly coherent

If you've ever encountered a Final Fantasy XIII hater, you'll be familiar with this stageringly intellectual point:
"final fanasy is GAY"
Yeah...

Oh! I got one!

"If there was no religion, then their would be no more wars."

I realy do believe that the anti-religion fanboys and god flamers are a hell of a lot more anoying than any web based god fanboys i have seen recently

"Timesplitters is way better than Halo! It has so many more guns!"

...

Please tell me you're joking.

I wish I could. I so wish I could.

"Timesplitters is way better than Halo! It has so many more guns!"

...

How many guns are in Halo and how many are in Haze? If there are more in Haze than the entire argument shoots itself in the foot because Haze is better than no game. Ever. [sub]except Big Rigs, and even than it's a close contest[/sub]

That is one of the most retarded things I've ever seen. The amount of guns doesn't make a bloody game better, it's the gameplay. I'm a hardcore TS fanboy and even I can't justify such a moronic argument. I hope you smacked this person upside the head for being an idiot.

I was genuinely tempted to, but he was like 13. I decided ultimately it was a bad idea, and went home to cry in a corner.

Ah the good old "Mah consol iz better den PC cuz it has super good grafix" argument. Now I prefer PC to consoles though I do play both (mostly due to the fact PC has mouse and keyboard for FPS's which is superior to a handheld controller) after doing a bit of E-detective work I found that the 360's graphics card is equal to a GeForce 7800 and the PS3 is roughly the same (maybe slightly better but who cares) and my PC runs a GeForce 8400 and from what I hear bigger numbers mean better graphics card soooooo my PC has better graphics then current gen consoles (YAY Oblivion on Ultra High resolution)

I never try to convince fans otherwise, because honestly, when was the last time you ACTUALLY changed somebody's mind about something that they were very biased about? Never?

although my favorite argument i ever saw was some guy trolling about how awesome PS3 was, and how 360 sucked and then somebody asked him "then why aren't you playing it?"

All the more reason to smack him. Think of it like house training a puppy, only that instead of pissing on the carpet, he's pissing on your intelligence. You don't have to take that crap.

Simply redirect them to the South Park episode called Go God Go! They will soon understand their naivety.

I find circular logic is common among Valve Fanboys

not from video game fanboys but......

You can always shut them up with "You realize your Xbox/PS3 is a PC, right?

Watch them flip. And it's true, it's a fancy box stuffed with computer parts for personal use.

Once I was saying to my friend that I would like a PS3 more then a 360
This is how it went:
Friend:"Well, you only like it more because you suck at Halo, I beat you every time!"
Me:"What? I'll play you after school!"
So we did go to his house, played some Halo 3, and I beat him, then he said that he's better in ODST, then I beat him in ODST. Then he said that "Microsoft is the best developers this generation, like, they made the 360, the PC, and the Mac! Sony's a pussy developer."

AND THE MAC?
Oh, that's rich.
My favorite fanboy argument is, 'the manga was better' but they're usually right.

Bigger numbers doesn't mean better video card. Lol.

I think it does in THIS case, though. Note that he plays Oblivion on ultra high.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Fall Out Boy is a punk band...

HAHAHAAAAA!

pop-punk maybe, if you want horribly abuse the genre.

I just tell them they all cower in the shadow of awesome that is the Sega Genesis. The best system ever made because it has more attachments and blast processing.

does this not make, in turn, make u a fanboy?

anyway im tired of threads likes these. NO ONE CARES! all this could be avoided if u just didnt talk to them. stop starting threads just to bash on people.

I love my Genesis don't get me wrong, but it's not a valid argument. I just do it to totally derail the conversation. Especially when you bring up they should make the SegaBD, come on, Sega games on Bluray discs! Think how long those 256 color videos could be, you could probably put every ep of lost on there, and Battlestar galatica!

See? It's totally dumb on my part and just for giggles. If I really want a solid curve ball I'll bring in the Vectrex. Screw your Sony Wiibox 360, it doesn't have it's own monitor or mono speaker, therefore it's obsolete, behind the times and useless!

i want u to see this.

im not advertising this video but U(as in the person im quoting) needs to see this

I'm not derailing anything, I'm saying how I deal with fanboys. Honestly it's the best way to deal with them, you bring up an argument that they can't argue with and if they do, they're an idiot because it doesn't make sense to begin with.

The best argument I heard was "Wii is better because it's not packing everything on the planet in it and it lets you buy what you want and keep out stuff you don't want. This way it doesn't wind up being some super computer that you only use 2 things on." It's ...50 dollars cheaper than a 360 or PS3, I can't say I saw what he was talking about. Like what you like, but at least make a valid point, you know like ...I like the controller?
