It might just be me, but lately, especially with the whole BF3 vs MW3 fanboy raeg that's going on, I have to wonder...
Why do you have to choose? I mean, If you make enough disposable income to buy games regularly, why does it matter which one is better...I mean, you can easily buy them both. I understood it when I was a little kid and it was xbox vs playstation, because you really only got one or the other and yours had to be the best.
That's also the thing I don't get about the backlash of nostalgia games, that whole angry birds argument, and MODRN WARPHAIR IS TEH GAMING DESTROY. The thing is, it's not a black and white thing... Especially the whole angry birds thing. It's a freakin' dollar. You can afford a freakin' dollar and pretty much anything else.
So, my question is, why is this fanboyism warranted when you can just as easily play both games?
*Edit* This calls for more clarification - I was using those games as examples. I'm not asking about why people choose not to buy a game because they think they won't enjoy it, or it looks too similar, etc, I'm asking why people care so much about specific games, to the point of trashing the other, or claiming that it is ruining gaming, why do they care so much if one game is going to be better than the one they arbitrarily choose, instead of simply playing both games, or just leaving the other one alone because people that are interested will buy both.
