G4, The Fox News of Gaming

Well. G4 stands for "Games, Girls, Gear and Gadgets" far as I remember... Your right but it is more then just games...

Your fanboyism is showing. Next time use evidence when trying to make an argument if you don't want to look like 12.

G4 has been stubbornly in support of the 360 all the way until recent times. They picked up the 360 early on and refused to budge even when PS3 was proven technologically superior. They'd rather play it safe and stick with DVDs even though they're backwards and outdated because it's less scary than dealing with change.

Their quote in the Killzone 2 review, "PS3 owners finally have something to look forward to besides bad ports and antidepressants" pretty much sums up their conservative Fox News attitude. Keep in mind this was said even after the release of MGS4.

Typical N4G reaction,

"If you're not with me, you're against me" reaction.

First step, try and label the person something to reduce credibility;
"Your fanboyism is showing" or the classic "12 year old"(why no 11 year old or 13 year old)

Step two, deny evidence of failure and spin it as an elaborate plot to destroy Fox News/PS3.

Step three, anything the "guilty person(s)" do can be linked to said elaborate plot for example;"They picked up the 360 early on and refused to budge even when PS3 was proven technologically superior. They'd rather play it safe and stick with DVDs even though they're backwards and outdated because it's less scary than dealing with change."

Step four, let's spin that quote around a bit to make it seem anti Ps3/fox news...

-"They picked up the 360 early on",

Perhaps the 360 came out a YEAR AHEAD OF TIME and had more games in the pipeline? Maybe developing games for a system developers had previous experience in made it the lead development console....

-"They'd rather play it safe and stick with DVDs even though they're backwards and outdated because it's less scary than dealing with change."

Thats right! Let your imagination run wild! Here's an example of what this particular fanboy is trying to accomplish...

-What normal people hear
"I never went to Japan"
-What Fanboys Hear
"I never went to Japan because I am afraid of their superior internet speeds and bullet trains which surpass the speeds of my slow public transit, in fact I hate Japan and am a Brit-Fanboy"

Step five, quote any article from ANY TIME and use it to support current argument.

Well you avoided that one(so far)

Also addressing your extreme emotional distress towards the quote..."PS3 owners finally have something to look forward to besides bad ports and antidepressants"

You either cant take a joke(trust me G4 has done plenty for RROD) or are convinced that there were loads of AAA titles before the release of Killzone2 but after MGS4....

Also I do have a Ps3 (80gb) and have played both MGS4 and KZ2(never used online/home)

Killzone 2 has the most beautiful game Ive ever played and so far beats any games on 360 GRAPHICALLY, having said that the game is kinda sluggish and Im tired of six-axis turn the valve bull. Havent beaten it yet...

MGS4 is fun when its not a cutscene(got tired of the "air-mobile-home" quickly), I enjoyed the entire middle eastern "Act" and was very bad at "CQC" when fighting Vamp towards the end. Have beaten it, ask me anything (gameplay wise, I skipped many "slideshows")

I also own Resident Evil 5 but Im sure I'd be doubted of owning a ps3 if I used a cross-platform game.

If anything Im anti wii/pc games made past 06, but you wouldnt know that because you were too busy trying to label me as an Xbox fanboy for not appeasing the N4G/Ps3 gods.

All you really have to do to see how FOX News is like is watch Billo talk about his falufahs (sp?).

But the people that they have thought was fair and balanced include:

- Karl Rove (W's adviser)
- Sean Hannity (ultra-conservative hack)
- Bill O'Reilly (the worst of them. We could go on all DAY about him, but...WE'LL DO IT LIVE!)
- Laura Ingrahm (she is fugly)
- Glenn Beck (a complete tool)

These people have always been the "conservative thinking is always right, liberal thinking is always wrong" kind of people. These were the "if you don't approve of the war in Iraq, you're a traitor to your country" people.

And look who has been f*cking them up recently: MSNBC!

I mean not even an hour after sarah palin was on rush limbaugh the left wing had to gather 2 advisors to say she didnt say what she said. this is no joke its reality alot of people say that they left wing doesnt do these things but they do and everybody turns a blind eye to it. its worse than fox all u have to do is watch them really ofcourse no one watches anything with an objective view anymore
