In my last topic, I argued how the PsP was superior to the DS. I wanted a second opinion and that's exactly what I got. I can honstly say I was wrong and the DS isn't as bad as I had thought; god forbid I'm even considering getting one.
But that's not what this topic is about. This is about a simpler topic, Fanboyism. Can you admit to being a fanboy, and what series would you be worshipping in that respect (humor is great)?
For example, I am a totally balls-tighteningly fanboy of the Persona, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear Solid series. I personally think Persona is best RPG on the PS2, that's how I am a fan-boy.
What about everyone else?
Firstly, I am totally shocked you didn't see the godliness of the DS. Nintendo have ruled the handheld market since, well, since the handheld market began; competing with the Gameboy and its offspring is just a rather inefficient way of losing money.
As to Fanboyism... no. If I'm a fan of something, there's always a reason. Furthermore, I know when a game is flawed because it failed to achieve a standard, and when it's flawed because that wasn't the point. The original GTA looked like it should have been on the Megadrive, but that isn't a valid complaint as they weren't trying to create an ultra-realistic game; they wanted childish ultra-violence.
The closest I come to fanboyism is sort of the opposite; a refusal to forgive the failings of Microsoft and their consoles. Much of this is based on realistic fact; the Xbox and 360 have unfogivable records for catastrophic failures, the original Xbox was a big, clunky, ugly box that cost too much and did too little, and Microsoft themselves are a load of miserable bastards.
Put simply, too much has gone on. All the intense hatred of Microsoft, and the unforgivable botches that seem inescapably integrated into their 'products' ensures that even if they gave 360s away for free, never charged for Xbox Live and reduced the games to 10 pence a pop I'd still think it was a shit console.
