Loving Bitter Rivals.

[Amarok]

There's no denying that we gamers and forum-goers are a bunch of hate-mongering bile-spewing vestibules of rage. For instance, when we find a game that we find we like, we react to this by declaring every other game of its kind a pile of shit and go to war with fans of that game.
This has lead to many memorable rivalries over the years, such as World of Warcraft Vs. Guild Wars (and lately every single MMO ever to be released), InFamous vs. Prototype, and all manner of seething, internet-born hatreds.

But have you ever loved two games when fanboy culture dictates that you must hate one of them with every vein in your body?

Personally I love both Half Life 2 and Halo 3, two games whose fans seem to spend most of their time at each other's throats.

So, escapists, tell me your stories of Forbidden Love!

And no flaming please, this is a thread about doing away with flamewars and hugging each other in a big manly display of brotherly love (that includes the women too).

I love Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.

And apparently that is a sin, as told to me by many people.

 

[necromanzer52]

Halo 3 and half-life 2 are both great games. Most people who attack the other haven't even played it.

than we are sinners,aren't we?

I like FF8, and yet I have an appreciation for what FF7's done.
Apparently, if I like FF8 better, I'm supposed to ramble lies about how FF7 is a bad game. And as much as I hate the damn thing, I can't help but acknowledge its production quality.

Indeed.

I once mentioned I like Call of Duty on Halo 3, and vice-versa.

I have never been spammed so much hate messages in my life. Some people have even sent me pictures for their scrotums using the vision cam.

Never really recovered from that one...

wow,that is both harsh and makes me question there sexual orientation.

no matter how fanboyish you are,crotch-shots are just wrong,just wrong man.

I like Prototype and Infamous. I never really understood the competition between them.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I love Halo 3, Half-Life 2, Gears of War, and CoD 4.

I cant stand their annoying fan base, insulting each other and saying their game is superiour.

 

[barryween]

I love Gears of War AND Call of Duty.
I love Halo and Call of Duty.
And I find Half life series not all that fun T_T
I'm weird like that :-/

 

[hazabaza1]

I like Gears of War and Half Life 2.
If those count.

 

[Tartan_Ninja]

I like Gears of War and Halo 3.

Also, its not that I like Prototype and Infamous, its that I can't tell the difference.

 

[latenightapplepie]

I'm not sure if any of the games that I like have fans that are vehemently opposed...

Although, considering it's already been mentioned, I will say that I enjoyed my brief sojourn with COD4 and I enjoy Halo 3 as well. Apparently that counts.
