most of the flame elitist i know are above that, because they never think they are wrong and try and use every bendable white lie in their book to convince other people that they are rightPhenakist said:
so thats not really valid, unless your trying to make a different point with that?
Sadly, no. Fanboys will be fanboys. I will defend something if someone makes a retarded or just plain false statement, but I don't care otherwise.
I hear people have opinions, apparently. Combine this with anonymity and you have more chance of flames than on cigar night at the distillery-cum-oil-refinery.
Videogames are pretty bad, admittedly, largely due to the disappointing lack of social skills that many people attracted to obsessive gaming have, but it's still pretty awful everywhere on the internet and, indeed, real life. I know people who know that one make of motorbike is THE BEST EVER YOU IDIOT!!! Same with films, clothes, art, whatever.
Clearly, opinions are bad news, and we should all submit our wills to a despotic computer hive-intelligence to avoid them.

Not quite, I can deal with "elitists" it's more the complete idiots like the little 12 year olds etc. who just flame simply because you are beating them and bring up immature arguments like "your mum" etc. if someone is legitimately beating you at a game I see no reason why they shouldn't brag a little granted so long as it's all in good fun, we all do it.gmaverick019 said:
I actually do care.
But not in the sense you are thinking of at least. I hope the fanboys continue to squabble, bite and gnash at one another it is quite humourous to watch the feeble arguments they come up with but then again there is the odd one or two that make my brain wonder how they haven't drowned in the shower yet.

People by their very nature are often illogical, stubborn, blind to other's ideas, elevates their own ideas too highly, egotistical, narcissistic twats. As long as there are human beings, there will be disagreements of embarrassing scale.
Discussions and debates are fine, but such things can quickly descend into flame wars.
Sorry, but no; most people will never take that sort of view on things.
I salute those that do respect others opinions, though. This salute goes out to the OP as well, since he seems to have the right idea.
People might eventually learn to get over themselves and everyone's differences, and make such respect a majority, but it's a long, LONG way off I think.

i can deal with that, even though i dont brag, i guess im humble, unless it comes to AI's, i have no idea why but i love beating the computer more than an actual person, for reasons unknown, but obviously your talking about online, which if you talk trash, its more then likely going to happen back to you wether they are 12 or 20, i've seen it happen despite the "stereotypes". and if your that worried about talking trash to a youngin then i really dont see the point of enjoying onlinePhenakist said:
I follow reviews for games before I think about buying a game myself, but there have been situations where I liked a game that was considered bad, and I'm extremely picky when it comes to games.
It'll never happen unfortunately because everyone has their own opnion and everyone usually thinks that theres is the superior one therefore unless your willing to back down there can be no solution.
We're stuck we're were at unfortunately but well some things are born out of that venom and are great because of the fanboydom and everything

No. This is a human trait that has existed forever. Only with certain "nerd" aspects do we give it the light hearted fanboyism moniker. (ie video game consoles, movies, comics)
Issac v Ishmael
Allah v Christ
Red Sox v Yankees
Cubs v logic and common sense
Right v Left
Red v Blue
Black v White
Capitalism v Socialism
Xbox v PS3
It's all the same. Everybody has a desire to be on the right side of the argument no matter what it is.

Hey, thats me. I would have to say "no" or at least not for the general community that actually care about games (young, immature little pre-pubecent boys). The rest of us can do all of those things you listed because we like games because they are fun, not because they make us feel more manly (I dunno why some people think that they are better than every one else because they have a high level or achievement in whatever game).David Bray said:
You know back in the 90s and even before that their were heated debates going on about which console to own....when I was a teenager it was Sega Genesis vs. SNES.
Lucky there was no internet back then so you weren't as exposed to as many opinions as you are today.
Back in the 90s I only remember once hearing the argument over SG vs. SNES and it was between my friends and we all ended up playing both systems since kids will always be opportunists...lol

The thing is people who are like this are just trolls and looking for a fight they will never just accept people can have a different opinion than them. They will also not accept that they can e wrong. As much as I would like them to disappear or shut up they never will.
