Calling game journalists journalists is an insult to the journalism proffession. They are no better than the random clickbait hyperbolic youtube videos.

They do understand that it doesn't have to make a statement, but that would bring in less clicks.

Game urinalist is a more apt description. I think of them as political activists who just happen to use video games as a platform. They complain that games are too realistic, too hard, or don't send the right political message. Obviously most of them aren't even gamers. Sometimes I'll read a review and they will say something that makes it apparent that they didn't even play the whole game.

I don't know why I was thinking this was a coop game like Borderlands. Kind of disappointed now but still going to play it.
 
Ah, I missed the Xbox fanboys.

I own a PS4 Pro. Sorry if telling the truth makes me a fanboy.

The "truth" has been known for several years. Yet you repeatedly point it out. Why would that be? It certainly isn't because you are being informative. We've known this for years. It's because it's a console warrior talking point. It makes you feel better about your console of choice, and probably yourself, to put the other one down. That's all it is. That's being a fanboy.

I know you have a PS4. I remember the first thing you did when you got it was complain about fan noise. I look forward to you telling us how the PS4 exclusives were okay but over-rated.

Except I own all consoles, so all platforms are my choice. I have enjoyed everything I have played thus far quite a bit. You've failed pretty bad at trying to call me a fanboy, even though I bet it "makes you feel good about yourself" to try and "expose" fanboys, eh, move along now

BTW, the fan noise on the Pro does suck and is outrageous. That's a fact in my case, not fanboyism.

Sorry, dude. Walk like a duck....

Anybody with half a brain would own a PS4 this gen, because they know they'd miss out on some of the best games of the gen otherwise. Doesn't exempt you from behaving like a fanboy.

Except you just defined a fanboy in your post and that's not what I am doing, should I elaborate?

"It's because it's a console warrior talking point. It makes you feel better about your console of choice, and probably yourself, to put the other one down. That's all it is. That's being a fanboy"

I own all consoles and have since their launches, so choice is irrelevant, I am not warrioring for any side. Simply pointing out factual statements.
 
You missed the key piece. As I said in my original statement, the thing that makes me call you a fanboy is not that you are "pointing out a factual statement." It's the fact that this "factual statement" has been known for years, and yet you repeatedly draw attention to it. (Never mind that the factual issue doesn't make all that big of a difference in practical terms.)

So the question is Why -- why do you repeatedly draw attention to this "factual statement"? Examine your motives honestly. Don't just rest with "I'm just pointing out a fact, it's your problem if you don't like it." That's superficial.

You're not doing it to be informative, that's for sure. This is well-known "fact," especially around here. You've repeated it many times. Other people have, too. So your motive is obviously not to inform people about something.

I think you like drawing attention to the PS4's "inferiority" to the Xbox X. I think that's why you do it. I think you enjoy putting it down, because it validates your choice of preferred console (Xbox) and makes you feel better. That's a fanboy.

It would be like me repeatedly pointing out that Switch versions are graphically inferior. Yeah, everybody knows that already. The Switch is a less powerful console. So what would be my point, or rather what would be my motive, if I were to repeatedly do that? It obviously wouldn't be to "enlighten" anyone. I'd be feeling good by putting the other console down; I'd be fanboying or console warrioring.

I'm not saying you're unique in this. There are plenty of people around here who do it. I'm not even saying I don't do it sometimes myself. But let's not pretend you're just some neutral observer, "pointing out facts."
 
I'm sorry, but that info but me common to you but not to everyone else.

Sometimes it takes a certain thread for that individual to find such information whether good or bad.

I rather stay on topic and talk about a game that's out next week than read what makes a fan boy.

Oh, and to remark on how smart someone is based on the console they have is pretty low to say.

Really? You're not aware that the PS4 Pro does not produce as good of graphics as the Xbox One? This is news to you, after being on on Xbox forum for the past 3 years? Wow. Where have you been. I must've heard it a million times. It's a major talking point among console warriors. It's been stated endlessly.

Oh, and to remark on how smart someone is based on the console they have is pretty low to say.

You misunderstood. I wasn't impugning his intelligence. I was saying his ownership of a PS4 doesn't say anything about whether he's a fanboy or not. Anyone would own a PS4 by now, simply because they want to play the best games of the gen. I'm saying owning a PS4 doesn't mean you can't still be a fanboy.

But never mind. This isn't going anywhere. Failure to process....
 
Well, that went well, lol.

Here's a good video that provides an overview of the game, for those who aren't familiar. No spoilers. (There's a lot of spoilers out in the wilds, btw, so beware of what you watch).

Good one! Didn't see that coming! /s

I hope you saw it coming. It is very easy to slap th fanboy tag on a post. Ironically your post was easier to do it to than the one you were trying to call out. Just saying.

Mhm. So you were trying to make a point. Well, I'll just say I'm not being a "defensive little fanboy," as you put it. I can't imagine feeling defensive about a minor visual difference between consoles. My brain just doesn't work that way. I'll get defensive about other things, but not stupid crap like that.

It's true that calling someone a fanboy is easy. I don't see why that should stop me, if that's how I see it. I knew I'd get resistance, given the nature of the forum. He doesn't agree, no big deal, doesn't change my opinion.

Plenty of people have called each other fanboys around here through history. People act like it's some big outrage/offense. Call me a fanboy, I don't give a sh*t. Just give me some sort of rationale.
 
Andy I like you buddy never had a problem with you, glad you’re back. My thing is would you take the time to call out posters here for being PS fanboys, trolling XBox, or always posting negative things about anything XBox?

I’m really looking forward to playing this game. Just hate it’s coming out the same weekend of COD MW. I’ll be too busy launch wheeling playing that with friends. Will get to this game ASAP.
