PlayStation fandom: PlayStation Delusion Syndrome is Real?

It’s nice you have an opinion, but to say “Playstation is a crap platform and we should all move forward with boycotting to another console” is childish. In fact, the majority of your post sounds like a 10 yr old wrote it. Attacking “PS fanboys” over and over, when you sound like the same thing you are attacking by doing so.

To say PS fanboys are delusional. I could say the exact same thing about the PC Master Race, Nintendo Fanboys, and Xbox Fanboys. There is “toxic” people in ALL platforms.

You claim PS takes advantage of their customers, but so does Microsoft and Nintendo. I would go so far as to say Microsoft is trying to manipulate the entire industry by buying up studios.

You don’t like censorship, no one does. But other companies have had censorship too. Since Sony’s move to California they have adopted some stupid mild censorship, yes, no one likes it. But Nintendo used to be the kings of censorship not long ago. Maybe you don’t recall the blood and gore being removed from Mortal Kombat 2 on Super Nes. I do. But, times change. So will this. There is also the fact that you can buy and play the Japanese or China version of a game and still play it, if you don’t like the censorship for USA. I’ve done it many times.

If PS was a crap platform, it wouldn’t sell so well. It wouldn’t have been so sought after during the shortages and scalping. It at least has games to play and enjoy, I can’t say the same with Xbox this gen. PS has games like Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima (which imo is the best game on any platform), Last of Us, God of War, etc. What is there on Xbox? Nothing. Most of the recent Xbox games were just bad, and released broken. Yes, Starfield is coming out, but I am not buying an entire consoles just for ONE game.

Nintendo lost me LONG ago when the Wii came out, I quit then. My Gamecube was the last Nintnedo product I bought, and I loved the Gamecube. I’m not interested in the same few series over and over. I’m not interested in dated graphics, gimmick controllers and devices, or handheld gaming. Sure, games like the newer Zelda game might be great, but they look like something from 10 years ago. I am not interested in all the social/multiplayer stuff Nintendo does. I like to game alone.

The Xbox One X was a clunky mess. I actually hated the XOneX, mine sets in the closet now next to my PS4 Pro. My PS4, and then PS4 Pro were used nearly daily in contrast. I can now say the same with my PS5. It’s a fantastic console and I continually game on it. My XOneX crashed multiple times just using the Dashboard UI, continually overheated playing Borderlands 3, and was just VERY clunky. It was a frankly bland and unenjoyable console. Nothing like that has ever happened on my PS4 or PS5. The last two gens of Xbox have just not done well. I loved my X360 Elite though, but those days are long gone. So, I am not interested in a X Series X.

I am not a “fanboy” because I like my PS5 or because there is much more to play and enjoy on a PS for me than a Xbox, or a Switch.

I don’t know what you were trying to accomplish with your post, but it comes off as childish and nasty frankly. Maybe try to word things better and not attack an entire fanbase in the process best time.

Sir, you are the person who came on here attacking an entire fanbase. I did NOT attack you personally. I never called you names either. I said you were being childish in how you are presenting yourself, and you are. You are coming off as hostile as well. That is not an attack, it is a observation based on how you presented your OP. It is an observation that maybe if you presented yourself a little better it would not come off that way. Your accusations about the entire PS fanbase is not factual, it is an opinion. It is a small amount of people acting ridiculous, not an entire fanbase. I could say the exact same thing about Xbox and Nintendo fans. In fact, it was not long ago the internet was calling Xbox fans the most toxic. Every group of fans has toxic people, none is more than the other. Saying that Sony has the worst is outlandish, and inaccurate. There are people out there that do ridiculous and nonsensical things in EVERY fanbase. People that take it too far. You are taking the actions of a minority of people acting like Neanderthal’s online, because it is, and making it out that the entire fanbase is that way, and that is just utterly false. There are people making stupid petitions continually. The one made by some people acting ridiculous about Starfield are no different.

You say you have “receipts”, which happen to only be directed at Sony, but anyone with 10 min on the internet could research other fanbases, Xbox included, and come up with the same type of things as well.

If you watched Vera Dark, whom I watch all the time and already saw the video you posted, you would see that she posts videos on a large number of companies enacting censorship as well, all the time. Not just Sony.

I stated and flat out explained that it is not just a Sony problem, and if you did some research you would find that out yourself. Everything you are posting is only directed at or to Sony, when there is a vast and widespread issue from the ESG and MANY other companies and corporations at play here. I also never said other consoles are censoring more than Sony, I said others ARE doing it and in the past they were doing it just as much. I repeat, I never said Sony is not censoring. Read what I actually said. I am old, I was gaming when Pong was out, I’ve seen this censorship happen many times over the years. Again, you may want to actually read what I said and stop being reactionary. You want to make an argument, you have. I disagree with your assessment, not that Sony has a censorship problem, because I already clearly stated they do and agree with that premise, but I %100000 disagree that Sony is the worst of all of it and has the worst most toxic fans, because that is not at all true.

Anyone who knows me on here knows I don’t not name call and attack people. So, don’t continue that narrative, because it is wrong. I wont be replying more because I can see where this will go and I am not interested in drama online. You’ll just end up getting this thread locked. Just learn how to present yourself better in the future and not attack an entire fanbase because of the actions of a few. Because that is what the media does, they blow up the actions of a few people making it out like they are ALL that way, and that is a flat out lie. Take care.

End of line.

“I absolutely did not come here to attack anyone. I specifically narrated: Hardcore playstation fanboys.”

That’s an absolute contradiction in 1 sentence.

“Calling my argument and me childish is a personal attack.”

He was referring to your behavior and not your person. So yes to calling your behavior childish but he was not attacking you personally in my opinion.

“At no point are you allowed to say “you weren’t attacking me” when your first response was to call me “childish” which is childish in itself. ”

@DarthVengeant is allowed to say anything he dang well pleases so long as it follows the forum rules and obviously any laws.

“I would never criticize a whole community over the worst of the community.”

That’s exactly what you are doing based on what I just read.

Look man, are game communities sometimes silly, extreme or goofy?  Yes, that comes with the territory.  Games are about doing something fun and temporarily removing you from the realities of the world.  No one wants to see the realities of the world apply to gaming as it removes the fun and escapism from it making it pointless.  In in the macro, there are much bigger fish to fry (southern saying) and PS vs. Xbox vs. PC should be nothing more than a brief talking point for entertainment’s sake.

There is nothing wrong with folks disagreeing.  It happens all day every day and it’s a cornerstone of the human experience.  We don’t have to hate or even be angry over it and especially over something as trivial as gaming.

@Salvince

You go ahead and continue to do you. I will continue to do me. @DarthVengeant will to continue to be himself as well as a respected member of the community.

You absolutely have the freedom to come here and point fingers, make accusations and raise an absolute fuss over game communities.

For me personally, I find it stunning when folks state an accusation publicly and become surprised or feel slighted when others disagree.

Anyone on this planet who expects to find folks they agree with 100% is going to find disappointment as that is an unrealistic expectation. And that being stated, disagreement is part of life.  If you cannot handle that then you put yourself in a very precarious situation.
