@The_A_Drain:
I wasn't talking about the ACTUAL posts #1,2,3,4 etc.
I was just summarising the vibe I was getting throughout the thread. The post numbers are symbolic of perhaps 10 posts each.
I'm going after the people in this thread that are slagging Gonintendo as a site and community whilst also implying that Giant Bomb does not have fanboy issues as well. I think these people are precisely the sort of users some of you more sensible people on here would happily get rid of. Ironically, a lot of these people are what I like to think of as anti-fanboys. In other words, instead of loving everything about one console, they are more focused on hating on another and on anyone who supports it. They should speak for themselves really, as I can see that the Giant Bomb community is not all like this. I just don't think this thread is something to be particularly proud of if you are a long-time sensible Giant Bomb user.
I am only speaking to those who have acted like ignorant and arrogant twats in this thread.
Hell though, it got me to sign up here so who knows, I might check out the rest of the forums for more of you sensible people.
Lucky you.

This argument is intriguing to me. In my opinion, though, Jeff Gerstmann makes up valid points about the game. If he didnt like the controls; fair enough, he didnt. I didnt like the controls myself, and I still dont. What has really annoyed me on that thread is the fact that loads of people are saying stuff which actuall isnt true. Everything we are saying here is our opinion or are facts.
IMO, I think that GoNintendo would not be a great place to get your Nintendo reviews. In fact, I dont think any site that focuses ridiculously on one console should be acknowledged for their reviews. I used to go onto GoNintendo-although my reviews were from Gamespot. Gonintendo would always give a score around half a level higher than what Gamespot had given. In fact, I dont get my reviews from Giantbomb either-there arent enough and the five star rating may not be good enough. To make sure everything you get is right, you have to have your mix. GoNintendo is great for news regarding Nintendo-how else would they know of this thread? Giantbomb have their weekly and weekday shows (Endurance Run comes to mind), IGN have great reviewing teams and they do loads of games fast. Gamespot have a number of small tabs, such as the Critic Score (which I think is dead Useful) and the cheap price thing.
I dont think we really have fanboyism as much as liking the reviewers for their witty comments and interesting conversations.
