but how does that make what he said invalid? yea people hate certain brands. Are you guys agreeing? or just comparing who gets hated the most. Cause its definitely not sony or Nintendo.
Ah yes,but see you can't say this without being told you're a baby and have a persecution complex.

Cool sounds like MS gave them a lot of support. Hopefully people have less issue with this now.
What support are you referring to? All I see is passion.

This is even harder backpedaling than last week's "passion" interview.

I wonder how much passion Microsoft will have for the 3rd game.

Why do they keep talking about it? It's like they're trying to convince themselves or something.

I don't want to even keep going into that thread deeper, it's fucking vile. The sad thing is that I know I even risk a ban by pointing this stuff out.
 
Someone with a Master Chief avatar getting quoted for what you said is just funny to me. I don't care about this "controversy" so don't take it personal.
I have a Master Chief avatar because I like Halo. Just because I have it does that mean what I say is some Xbox fanboy drivel that deserves to be avatar quoted? I'm a big fan of both consoles that just happens to have a MC avatar.


Some people are taking this video way too serious. It's just a fucking video.

Lol amazing

Also man it takes too much energy to hate something, imo. Usually if I hate something I don't even bother to post about it.

And from a consumers perspective, why does it matter to you about who is enforcing the advertisement rights? Lmao why even care about that. You ain't gonna get royalties for defending it

I think you are taking it more seriously than most people in this thread combined.

But you get a special place in Sony/Microsoft heart.

The video? Nah. I've watched it and found funny. But some people here really are.

What I really dislike is when people just avatar quote me because they just don't know what to reply.

You don't know my life, You don't know where my shares are.
 
So should MS attack themselves?

Talk about hypocritical, MS is attacking an awful practice they partake in and practised extensively last gen and at the start of this gen.

Now they are not getting all the rights they are supposedly a beacon of light in the darkness against this practice with a video that is not a commentary in the practice but rather an attempt to circumvent it.

I'm not saying that Microsoft's hands are clean. I'm just not faulting them for attempting to advertise in the few ways they can. If they are violating Sony's contracts, I say let their lawyers figure it out. I encourage Sony to follow suit where Microsoft has exclusive marketing.
 
I guess this video wasn't my type of humor.

And I have a feeling GAF is going to get some parody mileage out of the "I know some of you will hate it (because you dislike me, Xbox, Microsoft or a combination of the three)" quote.

Or the Driveclub threads, or the Order threads, or the PSN is down again threads, or the WiiU threads, or the Witcher is better on PC threads?

Stop being such a wet and crying about things that happen to everything else, just because you like xbone best.

Or the PS4 library is a disaster thread, or the PlayTV is a disaster thread, etc etc etc. People in this thread seam to have selective memory if they feel Sony gets away scott free.
OK fine I'll say it because no one else will, I think some people have a problem because while there is of course negative threads regarding to Sony on gaf (as there should be, it is a discussion forum) they usually don't have that much input from 'XB fans' beating down the Sony PR team, mistakes the company made in the past, business practices or tired old memes. With many threads relating to XB, MS, whatever there will be a vocal group of 'concerned' posters who have no intention of playing anything XB however feel the need to post about how much they don't like the company, the console, how terrible the company is, etc.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen in Sony threads, just that to a lesser extent. It also happens in a lot (all?) of the positive MS threads. You listed what would be looked at as 'negative' threads, this (should) have been a silly positive thread and look how it turned out.

I would like to state I don't give a shit, I'm not going to trawl through threads for proof as I don't care enough, it's just a web forum after. I'm not sorry if this bothers anyone, I'm just posting what I've seen happen.

Also I am not saying that XB thread for for XB only fans or Sony thread are for Sony fans, before anyone jumps the gun.

I suggest people on gaf make use of the ignore function as and where required, I have used it more here that any other forums I'm part off and it will make for a much more pleasant experience.

Now I fully expect people to go about pulling this apart and calling me out as a fanboy and this, that or the other! :D

Can't blame Major for thinking some people on GAF dislike him, some people on GAF have come out and said specifically that they dislike the man; a guy they've never met.

FFS his been accused of bribery by Evilore once, it doesn't exactly help with the relationship.

It flips to whomever is on top/bottom. Get used to it. Complain about it? Might as well be complaining about the rain.

The only thing that keeps it from getting entirely out of hand is iron-fisted moderation.

This is hilarious.

I wonder where "iron-fisted moderation" was with this prize of a thread that went on for almost 900 posts:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1078127

A thread about Adam Boyes and Major playing together? Locked.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1078960&highlight=major+nelson&page=3

A thread about a kid being a kid when winning a Xbox One at comic-con? Why lock that hateful troll nest?(It's still unlocked)

It was cute, but I feel like I would have gotten more out of it if I knew what anyone was talking about or who those people were.

This is probably how people who don't follow Nintendo feel about Iwata banana jokes.

This is the only answer, shove people on ignore; I mean, you can try and change the conversation - but don't do it by whining, just talk about what you want to talk about, as if you're dealing with a toddler - but sometimes it's easier to put them on ignore until their inevitable banning.

Press F for Percy and Killer

that way, the extreme/shit posters/dogmatics/idiots will eventually be wheedled out and Gaf will only contain posts from Y2Kev and benny_a.

Now I fully expect people to go about pulling this apart and calling me out as a fanboy and this, that or the other! :D

Well we'll use your post as test, if anybody replies to this calling you a fanboy (even if it's ironic sorry Wynnebeck! Sit this one out, please!) we can all shove them in the collective bin together.

Man, I expected to read a PR article and instead stepped into a salt mine over a goofy video.

Yeah, it's not comedy gold, alright. I found it had its' funny moment with the Nintendo joke, and was okay otherwise.

But people are way too pissy when it comes to these videos. Didn't know GAF turned into the No Fun Allowed squad when it comes to goofy stuff like that.

Only thing I can say in response this is I have never felt the need to put someone on ignore here. Even the people I vehemently disagree with never say anything offensive/ignorant enough to block them. I think this is one of the best online communities around(gaming or otherwise) and I have been active on many. Seems like you can't handle views that differ from yours.

oh well great, now I just feel petty for my forum topiary.

I tried to manage with out using ignore for the longest time (I always avoided it on other forums as much as I could) but Gaf is prolific content-wise, I just don't have the time and energy to trawl through the bullshit to the good stuff.

It's like trying to like every person in your town when it's a hive of scum, villainy, socialists, friends of the earth and that bloke who you knew at school that still hangs around with the local kids.

Don't get me wrong its a great community overall however you get shit posters everywhere and perhaps because this is a larger forum/community than ones I've been part of previously there is more shit posting? I mean the biggest shit poster I knew before Gaf was my brother on the Day of Defeat forums, what a moany bugger!

I can handle different opinions just fine, it's the nonsense posting that make me roll my eyes and the idea that this forum (or any other) doesn't have at least some is daft.

Holy shit! You actually believe TR2 is exclusive because MS passion? Like real passion?

bender-laughing.gif

It's a good thing that has nothing to do with my point.

If you want to argue passion though:

“It was clear to match the passion of Street Fighter fans around the world, we needed the combined strength of both Capcom and PlayStation. On that note, it gives me great pleasure to officially announce that Street Fighter V is coming and it will be exclusive to PlayStation 4 and PC.”

The SFV deal was apparently done to allow them to match the "passion" of the fans around of the world, I can't wait for the thread on this one with pictures of money bags and trolls.

"Street Fighter 5 is about growing that passion."

I like it when people surprise me.

When I first joined there were plenty of people I would of considered "assholes" who I've grown to respect and debate.
