Will it ever stop?

Constantly some of you people go on and on wasting your time trying to make one console seem better just because you have it.
Thats what it comes down to with most of you:

"I have the [console] therefore its better!"

You just dont like other people to think they have something "better" than you. Well tough. Either buy all three consoles or dont insult other consoles and make the one you have seem godly.

You can think that yourself but dont try and shove your believes onto others. If you have FACTS then fine but dont make up stuff just to make the console you own seem better.

Saying "Game A is better than Game B" is NOT valid at all. Everybody has different tastes. This is also the reason why game magazines review scores are not valid. It all depends on the reviewer.

Why does everbody insist on wasting theirs, and others, time by posting rubbish. If you dont like a console for whatever reason then stay away from that consoles forum. Its that simple.

If you want to post a well thoughtout comparison between the three consoles then feel free. But do NOT blatantly put down a console in them. It is so obvious when somebody has a large preference towards one console. It shows through in everything that is written. You have to be 100% openminded if you want to write a comparison worth reading.

So can everybody just try to stop posting rubbish and degrading these forums to an immature childrens playground, because thats what they currently are. When new users sign up to Special Reserve and they see the forums most of them wont hang around. They see all of these repetitive topics will nothing in them and they leave. They will go to forums that have mature people in them that have got over the whole "console wars" era. But here it seems like an ongoing struggle to prove one the overall winner, but the fact is that there can be no, nor will there ever be, a true winner.

So next time you are going to post something that is just assaulting a console then stop and think: "Does this really needs to be said?".
If things keep going the way they are then these forums may as well be dead.

Exactly. And I'm not going to be saying:
"In my opinion I don't think Buffy is going to a very good game, If I were you I'd get something else or at least rent it first."
anymore.

If I think it's crap, then I'll say: "It's crap"
Of course I don't mind giving reasons..

Good idea. I hate it when people say they thought spoofs were funny just because the majority did, or just to be polite. If someone's made a mistake, they should be told, and learn from it.

Yeah, thats the new me, you may have noticed on the X-box forum. I'm not gonna soft-foot it around any more playing 'nicey-nicey' with everyone. From now on, it's complete honesty from me :)

Yeah, but if Game A is a Nintendo game, then of course it's true.

Nope, i doubt it will.
Nice thought though. Ah well, for the most part there isn't too much of that in this forum at least. But so long as people feel the need to convince themselves they didn't screw up and end up with the second (or third) best console, they'll tell everyone else too.

Hmm, ninties not feeling thew need to do that so much.. - *not* trying to make the very point the post tries to stop :^)

Well, unless game b is Superman 64
