PS3 Fanboys Strike Back: Gears 2 Metacritic User Score Lowered to 4.1

Hell hath no fury

like a gamer SCOOOOOOORRRRRRNNNNNEEEDDDDDDDD

I think fanboys on both sides are acting foolishly. However, I would like to point out that LBP had over 2,200 user scores. Gears 2 has 375 user scores. That’s hardly the retaliation that this article is implying.

Just..getting sillier, just getting started :S, it seems fanboys have something new to do

Only fanboys would care about that. I guess that makes you a Xbox fanboy…

A quick reminder, these reports are not intended to be taken seriously, but merely to assist those unable to take responsibility for their own lives.

off to metacritic……………….

The gremlins come and go.

I wonder what Resistance 2 will be getting.

Treats others how you’d like to be treated, how is anyone surprised.

Idiots do something idiotic (imagine that)
and receive a similar response (shocker)

Surprising…

Currently at 2.9!
Good old ps3 fanboys :]
The war has begun.

Wow, this is really outdated, now the score is 2.7 LOL!

MKLOL,

Sorry, I am not about to update the image and title every 30 minutes. Apparently people missed the last line where I ask that we all show a bit more self restraint.

We are doing nothing more than smearing our image as gamers by continuing to allow this type of thing to go on. The user score is there for a reason, and that reason is not to mislead the general public due to some fanboy turf war.

Chad-

This is great. PS3 owners go to metacritic and lower that score. my answer to you if you dont want the same- they started it.

May I be the first to say that I don’t give a damn?

“This is great. PS3 owners go to metacritic and lower that score. my answer to you if you dont want the same- they started it.”

Forget that! I own a PS3 and I’d rather rate up LPB instead of rate down GoW2. Why should I lower myself to the same level as a bunch of fanboy morons?

Honestly, none of these idiots deserve to call themselves gamers. They’re an absolute travesty to the community. No wonder everyone else in this country thinks we’re a bunch of hyper violent, fat, basement-dwelling retards with no lives.

u desribed an xbox fanboy perfectly- ps3 fanboys are cool.

Uh, no. They’re not cool. Fanboys are stupid. Period. I love gaming in general and I’ll happily continue to spend my hard earned money on good games, regardless of what system they’re released on.

It’s one thing to prefer one type of game over another; I understand that’s a matter of personal taste, but anyone who arbitrarily pledges their full allegiance to a piece of hardware to the exclusion of everything else is simply pathetic.

I’m not defending either side. I’m defending two very good games that are getting undeservedly rated down by a bunch of half-witted morons, because of a stupid console war that no one will remember or give a shit about in a couple years. Seriously, talk about a waste of time. I hope game developers and publishers start disowning these idiots in public. They’re no good to anyone.

ok the xbox is technologically inferior which is why i sold mine and bought a PS3.
I am a sony fanboy because i think they have a better platform- not everyonw wants 2 consoles.

are you by the way suggesting that all fanboys are stupid- even the ones with a higher iq than you.

Ok, that’s your answer for the 6.2 on the LBP user score, and even worse. Who got the most loyal user base, Sony or Microsoft? it looks like most of the 360 fanboys are little kids without their parents permission to use the computer and poor people who can’t get one :/

I find it amusing that so many people have no heard of this yet.. Things like this were happening all the way back to Super Mario Galaxies where many Sony fans voted it down before release on many sites. It is very sad and very pathetic, it is also more common than most of you seem to know

poop…

What the hell the game isn’t even out yet.

Oooo, a personal insult. Very mature, Inja. Although it’d be very easy of me to take your unfounded attack personally and retort with name-calling, I must confess that I have more self-respect than that.

If you’re really smarter than me, however, I guess you wouldn’t mind indulging me in a tasteful and well-thought out response. Otherwise, you should be aware that insults are a direct result of anger, which is triggered by activity in the portion of the brain that inhibits logic known as the Amygdala. In Layman’s terms, insults are not the most effective way to demonstrate intellectual superiority.

In regards to my original argument, I think fanboys are just silly, because they judge games not by their own merit, but solely by which platform it belongs to. Honestly, if you prefer a Playstation 3, that’s perfectly fine! I’m not against that at all. As a matter of fact, I’m die-hard PC gamer at heart, but I don’t go around bashing consoles, because of their technical limitations. That’s my point. People should embrace games and stop trying to justify their purchases by attacking others. That’s a blatant sign of insecurity. So what if the Xbox 360 is technologically inferior? So what if the PS3 has a large number of varying SKUs? So what if the Wii uses an archaic friend code system? They’re all moot points when you consider the great games they all have. That’s what true gamers embrace.

Feel free to continue making childish remarks, but somewhere down the road, you’re going to look back and realize how pointless it was to dedicate so much of your energy flaming complete strangers over something as ridiculously trivial as an electronic device. Honestly, I’d rather be ignorant and enjoying the hundreds of wonderful games out there for each platform than smart and limiting my options to just one. Enjoy the benefits of your high IQ!

Thats the gayes sh*t i’ve seen in a while, Jesus Christ.

John D., I see what you’re doing, but it’s a case of pearls before swine: is the swine foolish for not understanding the value of pearls, or are you foolish for casting valuable pearls away for a pig to eat?

Being pedantic isn’t a proof of intelligence either – the only reason I expend my precious energy to share this information with you is because I believe you ARE intelligent, and will appreciate what I’m saying.

Thank you, Raz. You’re absolutely right.

Inja only has a PS3rd?

lmao non-gamer confirmed.

I have a wii too- xbox= went straight back to the shops because it i tried to play it, but it showed me red rings.

John D is sarcasm insulting. Is calling people stupid insulting. Dude you are insulting, being snobbish even that you are a better type of gamer. The talk of the amygdala, was that too show your intelligence because you’ll have to try harder than that.

raz you knobjockey, I understand that halo and gears are good but theyre not enough to warrant a purchase of a outdated console- Id rather stick to my ps3 with my 10 year lifecycle. btw i find being a fanboy more fun- and dont say thats sad all you people that wake up play games go to sleep with a headset talking military trash all day. because i find time to mix all aspects of life.

@Inja
ROFLMAO, that IS fucking sad. Fanboyism is really just a more obnoxious and elitist type of snobbery. Being a fanboy is fun? Get a fucking life or an actual hobby, you loser! Raz is right. You’re just a lowlife swine who likes to talk shit about other consoles. Just stick with your console for ten years. By then, the graphics card will be old since its just a 7800 GTX with a bunch of changes.

Hey Inja, like my name says- get a life!

LOL people like Inja are straight parodies of themselves

It’s down to 2.6 now. God, it’s crazy.
Metacritic also has put a disclaimer about user votes at the bottom.
Crazy times.

well thats wht happen whn xbox starts the war the ps3 gamers dnt givve a bull dnt go to other places to lower ratings but provoce thm and they will turn the counter and pawn thm in there games. so please be cautious

Inja, man, stop smoking what Sony’s giving you. Just play the games, man, and keep mixing all those aspects of life you’re talking about.

Peace.

Inja your posts make my eyes bleed, your grammar is offensive.

ahh u ugly toerags make my eyes bleed you spotty, milk bottle glasses wearing, stephen hawking lookalikes are revolting.
injagetalife what do you know about my life.

mark your face is offensive

hmm if you think im an idiot why do you respond to me. Im offend you on purpose- and then all the good samaritans and jesus christ himself comes out and comments.

What’s very closed-minded about these apparent fanboys whom are destroying the voting score on metacritic, is the fact of what proof do they have it was the Xbox 360 fanboys?…. Why retaliate at the 360 fanboys when they have no proof. ‘What if’ it was the Nintendo fanboys? Jealous that such a Nintendo-like/Miyamoto-like creative and genius ‘one-of-a-kind’ title isn’t on the Wii, but the PS3.

Conclusion no matter what: Fanboys are pathetic. I will cherish the good ol’ days when fanboys weren’t as savage and primitive, and nothing ‘overly drastic’ ever happened, and differences in opinions could actually be taken without hatred or insults flying everywhere.

Mounce u win the award for being the most overdramatic homosexual ever.

Awwww, did I strike a nerve on the baby?….. As far as I see as well, ‘Commenting Rules’: ‘No hate speech allowed’.

On the other side, you easily of course win the award for portraying yourself as an obvious immature closed-minded 14 year old, whether you’re a disgruntled fanboy or not.

Quit your gay-bashing ignorance and stop yer’ whining, get a life.

Lol.

i didnt display one bit of hate towards gays- u however are insulting 14 year olds in particular y. you need to stop taking minor matters so seriously- u kno lighten up and get a life.

Using the word ‘Homosexual’ as you did, (in a Hateful/spiteful manner) ‘Towards’ me, Yes….you are displaying hatred towards Homosexuals. If not, do not use it as a general insult groundlessly towards someone you don’t know, Kid!.

I am indeed insulting 14 year olds, in a generalization and stereotype, they are always rude, ignorant, and immature, you just go on to prove my point. As well to the point I am taking nothing seriously, Unlike you who hypocritically was the one to make a reply to my comment, in a hateful manner when my original post wasn’t any type of hate-speech towards you. Hypocrite.

I have a life, sadly you cannot and will not be able to prove that you do in comparison. What else you need is intelligence, your argumentational skills suck BAWLS!…..Good day, lttle sir. You lose. :D

“I have a life” i believe you. If you are going to generalize 14 year olds i will generalize you gays as overdramatic, oversensitive puffs.

Oh my fucking god shut the fuck up Inja, just stop posting for the sake of humanity. And as a gay I’m not overdramatic or oversensitive but I AM getting annoyed, you need to get over yourself. You turned this article’s comments into something more which it shouldn’t have, now just please shut up and go play in traffic. (Yeah I said it)

Anyways, ps3 fanboys/girls and 360 fanboys/girls are getting stupid with this scoring thing (even though it’s very amusing to me) I dont care much for Gears of War but I also havent played the 2nd one so I’d like to pass judgment when I play a game.

HAHAHAH if u find it amusing stfu- i will not stop postin until u people stop postin sentimental bollox about how gaming should be. whaler go jump off a building or something, act lik a man not a woman you people are so annoying.

By the way Inja I AM woman, thank you very much, and I am not going to waste my brain cells on some idiot trying to make a name for himself on the fucking internet by acting like a penis. And as far as I am concerned I’m more man then you and how are WE annoying when you’re the one almost everyone here wants to throw into a meat grinder?
Anyways let me shut up for the sake of my remaining brain cells.

Would be for the wisest, The Whaler, internet trolls are dead inside in more ways then one with an outside appearance that more than likely is considerably flawed.

He’s busy flaming and insulting people on the internet to make up for the fact that he has a small penis. (Let him go wild….he chose a pretty pathetic spot to do this anyways…. a commenting section on an irrelevant article, can tell there was no pre-planning involved. XD)

Let’s start something…

Xbox 360 sucks fat dick

Interesting to hear a hunk of metal is sucking ‘fat dick’. When its merely plastic, metal and circuits, and was built to ‘possibly’ be a gaming console. Last I checked, the Xbox 360 wasn’t a futuristic sex-android either.

:\….

If only…

I’m sure that’d be Playstation 4-8.

First….Gaming console
Second…. Gaming console and DVD Player
Third….Gaming console and multimedia hugeass machine of nearly everything entertainment wise…

I don’t see how this theory is farfetched, if Sony keeps stretching its legs, it’s bound to go somewhere!!

a large portion of gamers are immature and ill admit im immature but i dont care. If i have fun thats all that matters- being a fanboy and commenting here isnt fulltime work- its quite easy being a fanboy- just say some annoying things. why do people think being a fanboy means cutting out everything else in life. whatever i say i never get too worked up but you people have the need to reply to me. I have everything i want in life an im 18. btw xbox does suck fat dik i put mine in it. HAHAHAH

I love it when Sony fanbots say that people who don't have one or trash the PS3 are just "poor people who can't get one". Ever stop and think of how stupid that sounds? Probably not, which wouldn't be surprising, but just try it once in awhile. Maybe people that don't have one just simply DON'T want one.

Plenty of kid fanboys on both sides, not just the 360. I've encountered plenty of 10 year olds that think they are cool on the PS3 just as much as the 360. And I mute them instantly :D
