If an RPG isn't Japanese it's crap.
If an RPG isn't Western it's crap.
If I don't play RPGs they're crap.
If you play RPGS exclusively, every other type of game is crap.
There are over 90 million hardcore gamers out there

This thread deserves a sticky, it's hilarious. How about if a game isn't rated M, and isn't on your favourite system, it's automatically "kiddy", and if you play it, you are automatically under 12. ithilgore2006

I agree on the sticky - I didn't expect this kind of response. Guess I'm not the only person that finds the humor in this board, afterall...  :)

...I'll have to add a new one for ya.

:lol: Yeah that pretty much sums up this place.

How about this one? Rumors are only true if they say something positive about your system of choice or something bad about the other systems. Once a rumor meets one of these conditons it can be used to claim ownage on other fanboys.

Excellent post!

This reminds of the post that "TheBlueLizard" or "BlueLizard" made a long time ago, something about "You might be a fanboy if..." and it had a pic of an ugly baby in it, or something, can't remember, but it was hilarious and was stickied for a while...

-When comparing graphics to two systems its exeptable to use the best screenshots for you favorite system and use out daited screenshots for your leased favorite system.  Its incouraged to use the same 3 pics in all topics when comparing graphics.

-Trolling is legal only if you can incourage someone to not buy the system your trolling.

If someone predicts your system of choice (or favorite upcoming game) will "flop", you quickly point out to them that no one can predict the future, there by "owning" them. It's then perfectly reasonable for you to predict the opposite of what they predicted in your next sentence.

If sales tax is high in your country/state don't complain. move!

polls are insignificant unless every gamer in the world voted in them. Or a 10 person poll with a slanted question is all meaning.

90% of system wars wen't to E3

All 3 consoles are the next dreamcast

Everyone bought 5 of the console the don't like and they all broke.

Posting the name of your favorite system followed by the word ownz is a valid responce to any argument and should be thought of as  interesting and considered.

If a game that is not on your system of choice does not look exactly like it did in the first trailers, the company lied to you and you should never ever buy from them again and never buy that system. If the game is on your console then it is just "target footage" and wasn't meant to represent the final product.

Man I have so many gripes with system wars! Why do I come here again?

Only Americans matter on System Wars

Quoting chains 3 screens long are fun and necessary

Being given a temporary ban or perminant ban means you should immediately come back under a new user name and troll twice as hard

All sequals are rehashes

What games were like at E3 is exactly the same as they will be when they are released 6 months later.

CGI is evil and should never be used in games

You not liking a game means its automatically terrible for everyone else too (except fanboys)

Second and last are the same thing.

Here are a few: - Consoles are better than PCs, because you can play consoles on a huge HD TV. - It's so stupid to spend so much money on a PC system to play games! You just spend $400 to $500 for a console, about $250 total for a bunch of games, some more money for extra controllers (to play with your friends) an additional subscription fee for online access with your console and abouit $3000 for a big screen HD TV. I mean, why would you spend $2000 for a computer system to play video games? Thats just too expensive. - PC gaming is dead. No one uses the PC anymore. Ever. Under any circumstances or situations. Not even to post on these very forums. Just get rid of the PC platform entirely. It makes me so sick. So,... when is WoW coming to the PS3?? Cuz dat would be so friggin sweet!!!! - It's OK for 1st gen PS3 software to look bad, they are just learning the system. But, if a 360 games looks bad, there is no excuse for it. Also, if 2nd generation PS3 software looks bad, thats OK too - the PS3 is a complicated system to program for. It's just that powerful. Am I doing it right?

The value of your comments is determined by how long you have been gaming Starting a post by saying "I've been gaming scince pong and I can tell you..." makes everything that follows true When a game on a system you like sells well in Japan then Japan is a huge market If a game on a system you do not like sells well in Japan then Japan is a tiny market If you are not a PC gamer and a hater of consoles then you are ignorant and stupid due to your obvious lack of technical knoledge If you are a PC gamer you are a nerd, yet non PC gamers posting on system wars are not nerds Everybody knows someone at either Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo Your system will win because some part of history will allways repeat itself Saying something like "I think the Wii looks good" is llways followed by sarcastic comments of: "Oh I want your crystal ball"

Thats because rappers, rock stars and movie stars play consoles. Therefore, they are cooler than PCs.

There is no way this thread will be floated and I strongly disagree with point 21.
