How are the fanboys in thses forums?

Haven't seen the word xbot used yet

" Haven't seen the word xbot used yet "

It's relatively fanboy free.

It varies.  They certainly exist but they don't use the obvious "M$" and other juvenile troll-speak.  Lots of folks on these boards have more than one console or platform, so truly confrontational fanboyism is seen less.  Honestly, most of the time, that type of behavior is called out by the community with malice.  "Don't be a dick" is the number one rule.  Still, I miss some of the old console trolls ("Dr_Cash") because they were good for a laugh.

Same as EVERY OTHER website. They exist

They obviously aren't as heavy on this site as they are on others. Don't ruin that bud.

They're fine thanks.

We certainly have fanboys, but believe me, this is no Gamefaqs.

They do exist, but for the vast majority of the time they keep themselves to themselves.

I've found there's far less fanboyism on these forums than on most other video game sites and even when the odd fanboy does pop up he won't start ranting on like an idiot. If you came from somewhere like the Gamespot forums this place should be a godsend.

Yeah, there's either much less outspoken fanboys here or they're just much better at containing themselves here. There are supports of specific consoles obviously, but for me, I've found the colour coded names work in showing who you support without going up in arms asbout it.

It's a pretty great community here. I don't see the stupid fanboyism here as much as I have in other places. Welcome!

It's pretty good here.

Glad to hear it, im an owner of both consoles and like/dislike things about them both so i hate reading about stupid crap over and over enjoy both 
thanks for the replies folks

Don't piss them off. I'm still getting crap for Devil Survivor, and I'm sure that this post will get more crap just for mentioning that crap. Kinda reminds me of this.

Just don't make fun of Same-tendo.

The fanboys here are just adorable. 
Seriously though, they exist, but from my experiences, they aren't that annoying.

The forums for the most part escape most of the idiotic fanboys, but some do pop up every now and then. They are usually banned or suspended users from GameSpot that like to troll. From my experience though most people just laugh and ignore said people who troll and act like fanboys on this forum.

they send their best wishes 
 
 
no really fanboyism here is nowhere to be seen. you'll enjoy your stay

It's funny how we can align ourselves to microsoft, sony, or nintendo via our user name and then the color it will show up as 
And yet for the most part the fan boys don't rear their ugly head

If you call out the fanboys they shut up.

they are terrible here. i think this website has the worst fanboys around. xbox 360 always come to ps3 forums to troll and ps3 people come to xbox 360 forums.

I'm a total fanboy. 
 
N GAGE IS THE BEST SYSTEM EVER DS GAME BOY AND PSP ALL SUCK 
 
Man, those N Gage, Game.com and Virtual Boy fanboys are everywhere.

Much more mature here and less outspoken than other forums like gametrailers for sure.

Xbox is better than PS3. 
There you go. 
But no,I've not seen any serious fanboys.

The amount of PC fanboys here is enormous, but for consoles, not so much.

Bad, really really bad. 
HS21 and Atomasist are the worst...and don't get me started on Godlyawesomeguy. 
Ergh. 
Fucking Fanboys.

"Both" consoles? You got something against number three? Typical fanboy. "

It's pretty good here. I'd give it a 9/10

The only thing you have to worry about is the Staff fanboys

"It's relatively fanboy free. "

Its not terrible, its much better than other forums. 
 
However the PC elitism/fanboyism is irritating.

Fanboys aren't welcomed on Giant Bomb .  

There's definitely some fanboys still around, but generally the PS3 vs 360 type are somewhat mild here.

Man, I'm so used to the forums here now that whenever I go to Gamespot or Gametrailers and see how bad it is there I get flabbergasted, FLABBERGASTED I TELL YOU!

FUCK MICROSOFT MAN RR0D LULZ, NINTENDO IS FOR KIDS AND RETARDS ROFL.

Too many console gamers are hating on pc gaming. That's why you don't like it because your a pc troll. If you see pc gamers being arrogant, it's because we do actually have the power behind the games, the resolution, the textures, framerates, the anti alaising, the aniostropic filter, the DX10 lighting, the DX11 tessellation, the physX (no elistism intended, it's just the truth since we don't depend on art design and low quality effects with low rez textures hidden in motion) We get alot of hate because our platform isn't streamlined and user friendly to everyone anymore. It's completely opposite to consoles, we have dedicated servers, we have mods and configs to change the quality of our games. It's just ppl doesn't want to spend the money and they are hating on a faster more powerful platform. We know our platform is ridden with piracy and that we lost most of the support, however we do have better technology and we still enjoy our pc gaming and we still enjoy using steam. I blame the xbox360 because they brought mid range pc style games to ppl's living rooms and took everything from our market. They gave us shitty console services like GFWL (no elistism intended, I don't like the service and try to give us really lousy ports) Microsoft isn't supporting pc gaming anymore either, the xbox360 changed the face of everything this gen. With steam, online distribution, and MMO's and constant refresh of videocards, our pc gaming industry will never die. If there are gamers out there, some will be interested in pc gaming, the rest shouldn't just troll on it because they are pc haters. Haters are gonna hate. Pc gamers aren't acting like fanboys, they are just speaking the truth and it hurts some delicate egos and their sensibilities unintended.  
 
I've noticed almost everyone with a grey name, sorry to generalize, i'm talking about new forum users are all pc trolls or most of them anyways. That makes them console fanboys.

Lets all draw attention to them!

There are a lot of fanboys but they are not all bad. The worst fanboys on this site, are the people who go nuts over anything the giant bomb guys do. If you say anything negative about them, people will go ape shit.
