Siiiigh. Yeah I am a .hack, Kingdom Hearts, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Tekken and Final Fantasy fanboy.
Edit: I forgot Star Wars and Bioware. That is 10 lashes for me.

Not really. There are franchises that I follow and will continue to do so as long as they entertain me. They would include: Command and Conquer, Dawn of War, Mass Effect, Halo, Unreal, Gears of War, Quake, Doom, Age of Empires (don't think I'll be getting another one any time soon), Half-Life and a few others.
There have been franchises that spurned me: Quake (quake 4 was a terrible mashup of quake 2 and quake 3 being run on the Doom 3 engine (the engine incidentally can render lights, contrary to popular belief) leading to a very muddled and inconsistent game experience), Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 2 can die in a god-damn fire. No game has ever managed to consistently frustrate me to the point of anger except MW2), Zelda (After Ocarina of Time, the franchise has basically become a rinse and repeat sort of thing. A few more identical entries meant that it would take nothing short of a miracle to get me excited about a Zelda game again), and anything with Alien vs. Predator in the title. The 1999 entry from Rebellion was one of the great shooters of the era. The sequel was even better with the addition of useful multiplayer functionality (I seem to recall the first game supported direct IP address entry (no browser at all) and mplayer.com functionality). Then, there were a few terrible console games and movies that were even worse followed by a better looking version of the 1999 game that actually played worse in most respects.

The story doesnt make sense to me. ^Julianking93 said:
Well for me I am a fanboy, but when it comes to certain games. ex: Halo, CoD series, GTA, Dead space and many others...
I am a fan of what I like but I don't like to think of myself as a fanboy. If someone says they don't like a game, developer, or console that I like I will leave them alone. People have their own opinions and even if I agree with that opinion I will not argue with them over it. Mainly because I hate arguing.
I am Valve's little *****. I've bought all the HL games, Portal, both L4D's, both TF's, and Alien Swarm. I'm totally going to buy anything else they release in the foreseeable future, and have no problem with that.
naw, just the shredded remains of the adoption papers I keep sending him.i did it 4 the lulz said:
I honestly think it's hard not to be a fanboy. If you're not a fanboy of something in the gaming world then you really don't have that much love for a certain game/series etc. I can admit if a series I love brings out a game which sucks, e.g. I used to be a FF fanboy but XII and XIII were terrible IMO, but at the same time I love all of the games in my collection and prefer my 360 over my PS3. Does that make me a fanboy? I honestly don't know
I'm not really a fanboy, but I defend the PC, as a platform, to the death. In other words: I don't seek confrontation, but am prepared to confront.
I am a fanboy to NO-ONE.
Being a fanboy means you are going to waste money on bad sequels at some point unnccessarily.
