We're given the choice of picking console affiliations.. This is only going to spur on fanboy debate.. We should have a seperate board where we can just unload our fanboy thoughts..


Yes?

The only reason I would want a System Wars Forum would be if Spam starts filling up the main boards. If that's the case I would totally be for a System Wars type thread to let special people duke it out in an amusing never ending battle.


And it will be amusing.

This isn't a system wars site

I felt kinda shit when thebox popped up askin what I was a fanboy of. It should've had a tickbox list of consoles so you could say which ones you've got.

I don't think we need one. I've never posted a forum with such a board but to me it seems like all it will do is bring about childish bickering, with each side trying to 1up the other. I think Giant Bomb can be better then that.

On one hand I like the fact that all the biased fanboy's have a place to argue so the rest of us don't need to hear it.But on the other hand,if there is no specific board devoted to System Wars,then all those topics will end up somewhere more easily viewable by other people.

If it isn't necessary, then please no system wars board or it will just provoke stupid fanboy arguments... but if stupid fanboys insist on arguing, then yes please give them a forum to do it in!

Jeff did say in the video that they don't want it to be a site about console wars.  I don't want console wars, I personally think they are dumb and accomplish nothing.  Let us live in peace.

There will always be fanboys, not having a specific forum for them, will result in all the other forums getting spammed by people talking shit about another system.  Every gaming site should have a forum for people to whine about other systems!!!

I want one. It's the only place where you can read some of the stupidest logics ever. Seriously, SW was great for the laughs.

We do NOT need System Wars. It was the stupidest thing ever on GS, and GB will benefit from not having it. I suppose if other boards get permeated with inter-system arguing, then it would be nice to quarantine the infections into a dedicated Autistic Wars board.

Nah I dont think we need it, if there is a topic to debate about it can be done anywhere, no need for a whole board dedicated to that shit, it just encourages fanboysism, and fanboys that its ok to say "LOL POS3" and whatnot.

I'm sure that as this board grows (which it will rapidly I'm sure) it going to attract a lot users who just love to argue over their favorite systems.. Just take a peek over at Gamtrailers/Systemwars.com/Gamespot/NeoGaf to see just what we're in store for lol..


Also the fact that GB encourages such segregations at the moment of registrations, and even divides us by colours (just like systemwars.com). It is inevitable lol.

There needs to be a place for the "war".

Otherwise that discussion will spill over into this forum and be hell for moderators.  And...while I'm at it.  I'm going to do a cuss test.  FUCK SHITTY SHIT BITCH. 

Gamespot were the Nintendo of forums.

Would we retain the same faction names? Cows, Lemmings, Sheep, Hermits?

No, in fact, we precisely don't need a System Wars board. I hated the concept on GS, and I don't want Giant Bomb to implement it as well. All it does is cause hate, no one is going to change another person's mind over the internet.

  I never liked posting in system wars. I just liked watching all the crazy conversations (it was very amusing). I wouldn't want it on Giant bomb though.

I simply don't understand how anyone can be opposed to a System Wars that would be segregated from the rest of GB, and its viewing would be purely voluntary.  Why would that be a problem?

There's already been some discussion on this.

As of right now, the GB team seems very against any system wars related stuff, which I think is the right thing to do

No, why make this place like GameSpot? I thought the whole reason a lot of you people came here is to leave GameSpot.

I normally hate system wars discussions. I find arguing over a nearly identical piece of hardware to be quite pointless. But if making a separate forum would keep all the system wars discussion in one place, then that could be a good thing.

I'm quite happy without one. There's still a System Wars board back on Gamespot if a bunch of prepubescent kids want to discuss the curvature of their penises.
