What Type of Fanboy are You?

[whoknows]

I read many message boards and for really no reason besides to see what kind of fanboy/fangirl someone is I decided to make this. I am personally a Sony fanboy even though I have started to change my ways. What are all you? Lets try to keep this a flame free topic if possible.

[gnawingonfoot]

I can't answer your poll. I'm a Sega fanboy.

[pimp tyranny]

i guess i care slightly more about Sony's well being than Nintendo's, and way more than Microsoft's, although i have all three systems.

[Nirvanaguy777]

i like both nintendo and sony

[pimp tyranny]

copying cds to my computer

[Pylis]

Microsoft. Highest quality system for my money, and I'm in fucking bed with XBox Live.

[Bann]

I said I'm truly not biased. I have everthing except for a xbox, but's thats just because I've got too many games the way it is now, and a xbox would put me overboard. I've really enjoyed playing Halo 2 with my friends, and I think the console would be worth it just for that game.

I love my GCN, PS2, and high-end PC, and I wouldn't mind getting a xbox if i could afford it and have the time to play it.

[greydemise]

microsoft..NOT cus of halo...i think the xbox has awesome graphics..i always adapt 2 the controller alot easier than ps2 or gc..shenmue 2 is on it :) hehe...well, it has some good games, and well..i just like it better:D

[JSweeney]

Being a hardware fanboy is silly. Those are the people I'd like to slap upside the head and yell, "It's the games, stupid!!".

[pimpinc333]

I'm a fanboy of great games.

[el bobo]

I enjoy PS2/Xbox, and I used to like Nintendo, but since the GC they have really made me dislike them.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I'm not biased.

[greydemise]

good point... *slaps self in head* x_o..i wud say theyr all equal to me (cepy GC..GC sux..*but i dno..opinions opinions :)

[btw1217]

If I had to choose, I'd choose Sony. But those damn Disc Read Errors are making me question that. Cmon Sony! Spend the extra dollar to make our systems work properly!! ](*,)

[dafoomie]

You forgot Sega.

[whoknows]

yeah stupid me I shouldn't have forgotten, well anyways its too late now.

[hiccupleftovers]

I truly am not biased, though I'm slightly partial to Nintendo and Sega. I also like Sony, so I really don't think I"m biased. I don't jump on the hype/game bandwagon though certain titles I am more fond of than others.

[dafoomie]

If you're limited to hardware, then Sega/Nintendo/SNK... If not, then Capcom and a whole lot of developers too. Though its hard to be a "fanboy" if you like lots of things.

[smellhasreturned]

im a sony fanboy
i like xbox too though but to me ps2 edges it out.

i hate gamecube

[road3283]

I'm not biased, all the systems have great games that I want to play.

[Sartori]

Being a hardware fanboy is silly. Those are the people I'd like to slap upside the head and yell, "It's the games, stupid!!".

Flawed comment, being a fanboy could also revolve around the software. Specifically: Nintendo's.

[tornadomann]

Im not biased, there are things for each system that i like.

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

if anything im a sea fanboy

i like both DC, PS2, and GC

not a fan of xbox though

[Weedy649]

Id say im a nintendo fanboy. I mean sure i own every system and sure i play ps2 the most but nintendo does hardware right, no 3 different drive microsoft console and sony...lets just say i only had to buy 1 gamecube for 1/3 the price of just one of the ps2s ive bought since launch.

Yes, it could, but with the poll choices offered in this thread, that seems beyond the scope of the discussion.
Had software been included, Sega, Square, Capcom, Konami, et al. would have been included as choices.
This one seems to be specifically constraining it hardware.

[Weedy649]

yeah but by software he didnt mean developers, he ment exclusive software to specific hardware. So for hardware it can revolve around the software

[JSweeney]

That would be applying to much logic to the analyzing the though process of a fanatic. That rarely works.

[kristianator]

i've continuously read and collected comic books since the third grade, and now i'm a college junior. it doesn't get more fanboy than that.

as a kid one halloween, i dressed up as shang chi. marvel comics like a mofo.

[serverdserver]

I'm not nerdy enough to pledge my alligance to one system and sekk to destroy the rest. I don't care about the systems. Just give me good games. But in regard to games... SEGA

[serverdserver]

I'm not nerdy enough to pledge my alligance to one system and seek to destroy the rest. I don't care about the systems. Just give me good games. But regarding games... SEGA!

[Kaijufan]

Of the current systems I own a PS2, NGC, Xbox, DC, a high end PC I built, and a GBA SP, and Im not a fanboy of any one of those systems, but I like the PC and Xbox the best. However, I am getting more and more disapointed by Nintendo. The only Gamecube games I want are the exclusives, and even then thats not many compaired to the number of games I want for other systems. I just hope they get their act together for the next generation of systems.

[whoknows]

I put the choices I did because I wanted it based on hardware, besides even if I did put it with the companies Capcom wins..... no challenge :wink:

[Nematode]

I am free to the will of good games. I care not for platform, escept GC...

[blehman]

My bias ended with the death of Sega in the console market. So I'd say I'm truly unbiased at this point of time.

[evilpenguin9000]

I try to not be a fanboy, but I suppose I do lean toward the XBox because I like the games it has more than the others.

But of course that may change with the next set of consoles. I follow the games I like, not the hardward.

[dpatel]

If I had to choose, I'd choose Sony. But those damn Disc Read Errors are making me question that. Cmon Sony! Spend the extra dollar to make our systems work properly!! ](*,)

Agree'd. PS2 i bought around launch and I favor the most. Mainliy because of all the RPG's and Metal Gear. Also like the diversity of games (Katamari Damacy, Eye toy, DDR). Just recently got a cube in March. It's great system, but not enough games for me. Good multiplayer, and a few good single player games. No online either. That is a definite negative. Most of their games would be great online.

I just hate how they treat their consumers. Shortage of PS2's to creat demand. DRE's (personally never had the problem). ONLY 2 CONTROLLER PORTS!!!! That is just annoying. I had to buy a $35 multitap. The orientation is different on each game too. Some games require the multiap in first slot, others the second. It might be because I have a third part, but it usually takes me a few mins to sort everything out when i have 4 players. I really hope they dont do this for PS3. But I will most likely buy that because of the games.

[PenguinMaster]

I'm biased against Gamecube, the only good exclusives IMO are Super Smash Bros. Melee and Mario Kart Double Dash. Those aren't enough to carry a system, and Shigeru Myamato (I probably butchered the spelling) is way too full of himself and no longer has any good ideas. Also they don't get many of the games that are on both of the other systems.

PS2 has the best exclusives (Jak, Ratchet, Getaway, Maximo, Mark of Kri, Final Fantasy, San Andreas, Time Crisis, Kingdom Hearts, Sly, etc..).

XBOX has less exclusives (Buffy, Halo 2,Dead or Alive, Fable, Mechassault, Crimson Skies, Midtown Madness, R63 BA) , especially if you consider games on PC not XBOX exclusive (I do), but it generally has the best version of most games and most great games come to both PS2 & XBOX.

EDIT:If I had to choose, I'd choose Sony. But those damn Disc Read Errors are making me question that. Cmon Sony! Spend the extra dollar to make our systems work properly!! ](*,)
I have had much more trouble with XBOXs (3 Broke), and Sony does offer Free Repairs (if you ask for a replacement you'll get a free controller, AC cord, and AV cable).

[biggestinuyashafan]

i'm not biased. right now i am playing my xbox most only because i dont have many games for my gamecube and have to buy a new ps2. if i had more gc games i would play that a lot more.

[Mishimaryu]

Sony just look at my collection in the WWW

[Othergods]

I am a Xbox Fan Boy, Not because of Halo. But because of the things that the Hardware provided with no additional cost. My comparisons will be between the Xbox and PS2 because Nintendo died for me after the SNES, I only liked 1 game on the N64 and so far nothing really interests me on the GC.

The Xbox provided:
4 controller ports, no need to buy a multi-tap (I have friends and we use all 4 ports).
Harddrive so I did not need to buy a memory card.
Built in Modem.

These are all things that I would have had to purchase with the first PS2 and even though the PStwo has a modem it will not support a harddrive.

The closest thing to the Xbox is one of my other favorite systems the Dreamcast only missing the Harddrive.

Then there is XBL makes it makes the system so much more fun, especially now with Halo 2 the best FPS online console experience.

Then you have KOTOR!!!!!

So those are my reasons.

[Monsta Mack]

Although I own all three systems and a GBA, I consider myself a Microsoft fanboy, thanks to Halo, Starwars KOTOR and a great amount of good third party software, especially from Sega although that probably won't be the case come XBox 2 thanks to bad Sega sales on XBox.

[JohnnyDrama]

not really biased, right now I have one system from each (PS2, Xbox, DS) and I enjoy all of them

[Zingela]

I don't consider myself really biased hardware-wise, I believe every console out currently has their strong points, and I enjoy each of them. Still a SEGA gal at heart, though. :)

[miniarnold]

I am a console fan boy. I really don't like playing PC games.

[The Mana Knight]

Well, I own all consoles and play all consoles, but I'm really a Sony fanboy. My reason is that I love Sony first party games way more than both Nintendo and MS. It has pretty much all the Japanese RPG games I love along with several music dance games. I love platform games a lot and PS2 is filled with them.

Xbox is great, but what mostly hurts it is that it lacks Japanese style RPG games, few music/dance games, and not many platformers exclusive. I'm not too big into the Xbox hardware itself, since my Xbox gives me trouble and lags during gameplay a lot of times, that's why I rarely buy the Xbox version of multiplatform games.

Gamecube is great also, just mostly needs more games that appeal to me. GC has some pretty good Japanese RPG games and a few platformers I like, but it just needs more. It really lacks music/dance games.

That's why I'm a Sony fanboy. PSone is still my favorite console ever. PS2 looks to surpass SNES as my 2nd favorite console. I'm very excited for PSP and PS3.

[svsaith]

If I have to choose one, I'll go with Nintendo.

[ZForce]

I have all 3 systems, and I don't have a huge bias toward any of them, although I prefer PS2 because it has more of the types of games I like to play. If I had my way though, Nintendo would still be king!

[XboxMaster]

Of course, I voted as an Xbox fanboy. Anyway, I've always been fascinated by hardware, so obviously the better graphics, stock HDD, and better dependability puts the Xbox on top there. Then there's Xbox Live. Oh, sweet, sweet, Xbox Live--I can't begin on how many countless hours I played logged onto Live. Now about the software, I'm an FPS kind of guy, and naturally, that's Xbox's specialty (besides online-play).

[Mouse]

While I love all my systems equally, I'd be seriously PO'd if Nintendo went under. Nintendo (and sega) supplied the most enjoyable times of my early childhood. So if games are available on multiple systems, I try and buy them for the Gamecube.

[Rodimus]

I'm not a fanboy of any system. But when we're talkin about genres I'm definatly a SNK 2D fighter fanboy. I think that would be a better question.

[ig88vsbobafett]

Yeah Wheres SEGA ???????

[1SwtDeception]

More of a Nintendo Fan over here. I've practically grew up with Nintendo (like most people) but it stuck on me more. From NES to GC, N64 captured my "fandom". But then again now Nintendo doesn't have much of a library like Sony =[ (all those RPG's) and much exclusives are going to mainly PS2 and Xbox =\. And eventually it all goes to PS2.. x.x

[dtcarson]

I'm not biased.
I have a soft spot for Sega, and I prefer Sony. I would like PC more if I had a PC that would run anything and if there were anything out except war FPSes and MMORPGs
But like someone else said, there's great games on every console.

[punqsux]

i voted nintendo, because ive always supported nintendo...but the past 2 gens my main consoles have been sony.

microsoft can shove it.

[Javery]

All the systems have great games that I want to play but at heart I'm a Nintendo fanboy. I think their games are the best of the best. I spend way more time with my GCN and GBA than I do with my other systems (although my PS2 is close)...

[Snake2715]

I have played and owned mutliples of all three systems this gen and the previous systems of earleier generations.

At heart I have to give it to Nintendo. At my point in life I dont have hours upon hours to sink into a real RPG and I am in it for the mulitplayer fun. Or just fun period. Nintendo provides me with that.

PS2 is ok but the hype just ruins it for me. Still to this day i have been disapoointed with most of its games I have played.

The xbox got a lot of use when I had it and then I sold it off. I would most likely eventaully pick it up if it werent for the upcoming release of xbox 2 thus reducing the price from $149.99 in the next year.. So I will wait and play it later at a reduced price.

The Nintendo hatred ( not necessarily in this thread) bugs me. Some people dont realize that Nintendo is in it to make games (and money of course but mainly games) and the other two companies are in it for the sole reason of dominating this industry and for the money. They have plans to combine pc/consoles/ home control etc.

If Nintendo ever went under (and I think they wont not at least in the next 10-15 years) then we would lose a lot for all gamers.

[msdmoney]

I am a Nintendo fanboy, you can tell just by looking at my collection even though I have all three consoles (I only own the PS2 and cube though) in my house. I support Nintendo with all multiplatform releases because to me, Nintendo makes the best and highest quality games, OoT and Metroid Prime come to mind in the last two hardware generations.

I would still consider myself farely objective though, I support Nintendo first, but I buy and play games from all systems including the PC.

[sisco1986]

I don't deprive myself of gaming, I game for the games, not the console or brand. Although a lot time is spent on my PS2 (also SNES) then on my GameCube/Xbox but I'm not biased towards any console, like I said I love to game so why would I deprive myself of gaming because my console is purple or because it weighs 300lbs or if because it's not powerful, kind of dumb in my book if your biased towards one system alone.

[zionoverfire]

Well I wish I was non-biased but I'm a bit of a sony fan boy although I do really like the gba.

[Grave_Addiction]

Mark me up as a Sega fanboy.

[Magician]

I'm not especially biased in any direction, although I do have a soft spot for Nintendo, since I grew up with the SNES and Mario.

[FriskyTanuki]

I'd have to say I'm a Sony fanboy, since it was because of the Playstation that my hobby became life. I got a PS2 at it's launch and haven't been disappointed yet, just an amazing jump over the PS1. I do have a little bit of a soft spot for Nintendo because the SNES was my first console and just some amazing games.

[opportunity777]

I'm not biased ... I change during every system cycle for the most part it seems. My fav systems were NES => SNES => Genesis => 3DO => PS1 => XBOX => ???

[rapsodist]

If I have to pick one console, I'll go with a Nintendo console. I've grown up with their games so there's a nostalgia and history connected to the company and their franchises that I can't find elsewhere. I also believe that they truly continue to make great games that don't simply capitalize off of that nostalgia. Lately I find myself disagreeing with some of the company's opinions and goals, but bottom line, they still make the games that I love best.

Sony's first-party lineup has really started to win me over in recent years, however. Games like Ape Escape, Jak, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper have absolutely satiated my undying love for platformers. Then there's ICO, which is one of the finest gaming experiences I've had in the past several years. And of course, Sony's also got that 800-pound gorilla named Gran Turismo.

[opportunity777]

History to me means nothing ... it's more like "what did you do for me today, and what are you going to do for me tomorrow?"

I know 3DO sounds like crap, but when I got it back in the day I was impressed :)

I played that more than SNES because of games like Star Control II, Shockwave, Crash N Burn, Fifa Soccer, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

[Tromack]

I thought this topic could have been cool when I first saw it. I thought it would have options like:
Closet fanboy- You have your favorite but you don't like the world to know
Open fanboy- You love your system and none can compare
Violent fanboy- You love your system and fuck the rest
Non-fanboy- You either love all or hate all

instead it was just boring system related stuff.
