OMG THIS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL

[url=http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/frozen-wii-caught-redhanded-208386.php]Wii freezes[/url]

Oh, wow, this system sucks so much. I bet they have ****ty boxes, too. [color=#666666]THIS IS A JOKE[/color]

That sux.. I've never had an XBox or Gamecube freeze up on me.. I've had a PS2 freeze up on me constantly. My cousins 360 doesn't show any freezing up..

Could that just be a demo though? If not you guys might wanna buy Warranties :-P :-P :-P

Nah, I bet all systems can't prevent it.

OH MY *** THESE GUYS ARE PURE EVIL WE SHOULD KILL THEM ALL AND THEN BURN THEIR HOUSES DOWN WITH THEIR FAMILIES INSIDE. I CANT BELIVE THAT THE GOVERNMENT ISNT LAUNCHING NUKES AT THEIR HOUSES RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE JSUT THAT EVIL AND I HATE THEM RAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!1!1!ONE!

...Gameboys are prone to freezes when buggy beta games are running on them. People only make fun of freezing when it's in final hardware. Or that one time Xbox 1 was being unveiled and the BSOD showed up and everyone loled.

Freezing is usually caused by 2 things, software or heat. Buggy hardware is EXTREMELY rare in this day and age.

Yeah the PS3 which they viewed at one of the game showings freezed up. I don't think its a big deal.

I bet he just hit the pause button.

[COLOR="Yellow"]OMG, Nintendo ar the screw up yett again![/COLOR]:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[COLOR="Yellow"]They pis[COLOR="Yellow"]s[/COLOR]in in they own feet![/COLOR]:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

That's it, Nintendo's finished.

My GC crashed when I accidently kicked it once. Maybe it was my Xbox...Oh PS2....

And the NES flashes when you turn it on! Wow I wonder how Nintendo survived with all this shoddy hardware.

WHICH PROVES THEY'VE SUCKED THIS WHOLE TIME

WHO WANTS TO SEND SOME DEATH THREATS TO REGGIE ITS OBVIOSLY HIS FAULT

It was probably hot inside of the protective case. And also in the Wii since it's vox that it was in was hot.

So... why exactly did you post this?

[quote]So... why exactly did you post this?

It was a clever way of making fun of the Nintendo fanboys who are at Sony's throat all the time.

Then again, it's pretty apparent that Sony wouldn't get so much **** if they didn't **** up so much. ;)

Game freezing is serious buisiness. If they melt, global warming will destroy the earth.

that was really bad, wasn't it

This is the reason why I'm getting a PS3 over a Wii.

I blame the blacks.

I blame the blacks that aren't even black enough to be completely black. What's up, Pit?

No. Didn't most people say "LOL IT HAPPENS TO EVERY CONSOLE" or "THEY OVERHEATED BECAUSE THEY WERE STUCK IN PLASTIC BOXES WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION"?

At least that's what I remember.

I think here there weren't enough responses to it, but I've seen plenty of people with negative reactions to "a sleek expensive system" overheating due to Sony making a "shoddy system". It may not have been mentioned in the TGSoverheat thread, but the negativity from separate threads carries over to others.

If you guys didn't see this thread as a parody in the first place, I don't know why I even bother. Apparently there is nothing good about Sony and Nintendo can do no wrong. I'm not out to prove once and for all that any console is superior. This was a joke.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Wow, every system has now freezed. I've lost all faith in gaming.

What happend last gen is irrelevant. Sony screwing up? Gutted. Their success in the past doesnt get them a sympathy vote. Nintendo never had such a thing. Why should any company be the same?

[COLOR="Yellow"]But Nintendo's past (NES, SNES) is the reason fans stayed loyal to the company during it's less than stellar years (N64, Gamecube) when the console market crown was taken by Sony. Besides, we still don't know for sure which company will come out on top as winner of this new generation's "console war".

Regardless, i will always support the industry for as long as great games are being developed, regardless of the company name behind the games.[/COLOR]

She was saying people who were critizing Sony's recent **** ups werent looking at its successful past and alledged goodness. It's irrelevant except for its loyal fanbase. Which doesnt count because theyll get it regardless. Nintendo didnt get this kind of treatment from people other than its loyal fanbase for its GC days where arguably some of the best games ever were released so I think it's dumb for Fate to ask the same of Sony.

[COLOR="Yellow"]It's not fair to over-criticize the PS3 as being a completely **** up because of it being expensive among other things. It hasn't even been released yet, and there are still many years for it to leave an impression on gamers. For all we know, it could end up being the console with some of the best games ever made or positively change industry. . .or not, we don't know yet. Give it time.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Yellow"]She never said it's unfair to criticize it because of it's past or that we shouldn't, she said we shouldn't forget what Sony has done for the industry. It's right there on her first sentence.[/COLOR]

I didn't say anything about criticizing a console, I said it was unfair to make it seem like a bad decision to purchase the system based on what I purchased before from the same company. The company had some legal issues, but the games were good and I had little problems with the hardware. Their success is the MAIN REASON why I would think of getting a PS3 so quickly; I would get one anyways, but I'd wait a little if the company abandoned the PS2. If they had abandoned their system like Nintendo did, I may be skeptical. But they didn't, so I'm not.

There was a whole lot of trash talked about the 360 catching fire and crashing and being buggy and blahblahblah... But I've tried the system continuously and all that **** seems to fly right past me. We won't know a **** thing about the "winners" of this dumb war until like five years pass, when we'll see who keeps their system alive. Even if there is a clear-cut winner, it doesn't matter.

And yeah, people are so quick to forget what Sony did for the industry. It wasn't just a measly 50% hold they had on the industry, you know. It was much higher than that.

[quote=s0ul]It was a clever way of making fun of the Nintendo fanboys who are at Sony's throat all the time.

Then again, it's pretty apparent that Sony wouldn't get so much **** if they didn't **** up so much. ;)

Yeah, I gotta say I wouldn't ordinarily bash Sony for some of the more minor screwups recently. It's just the fact that those minor screwups fill in the gaps between the long chain of gigantic ones that just make it easier to keep the waves of abuse coming.

Plus everyone loves when a giant goes down. To me it just means an increased chance of the eternal underdog finally taking the throne, and Nintendo definately have always been the underdog in the UK during my lifetime.

Wow... looks like the argument from the other thread is spilling over, lol.

It's not a bad thing to go on reputation alone. Sony had an obviously successful last generation, so why in the world would I doubt the next thing they have to offer?

Yes, I automatically knew I was going to buy a PS3. Why? Because it's a ****ing game system. Guess what I play? Games.

If we're pulling hypotheticals out of places, I can just retaliate and say some company would've eventually done what Nintendo did for the industry back then. Some company. Eventually.

I don't care if Sony comes in last, I care if it's wiped off the face of the gaming industry forever. You can call me out and say you dumb catty remarks about me being "afraid that the Sony dynasty will die", but remember the Nintendo defenders in past console wars that happened between the PS1 tapdancing around the N64 and the PS2 trouncing all over the GC. Nintendo defenders were obviously wrong about winning the war, and Sony defenders were wrong too in thinking that Nintendo would die. I'm not saying Sony will come out on top, I just don't want them to leave.

Sony won't go the way of Sega. They have too much money to drop out after one failure, and even that is up for speculation. I don't see how Sony is stepping down in any way.

This thread is incredibly stupid.

PS3 freezing was only funny because a small Asian man came to its rescue with a four inch fan rather than actually resetting the console as he should have done.

My Gamecube freezes near constantly. If I had a Nintendo rep to gabble Japanese and attempt to cool it down, I would be lolling.

Hey, I really don't care one way or the other if Sony stays or goes. I myself will probably buy a PS2 if the games I want aren't released on a Nintendo system.

Protoman, the thing is that you're a nintendo fanboy. You're so stuck in their **** that rather than you actually try out new games on other consoles, if the names aren't familiar like zelda, metroid, mario, or any other franchise, despite reviews saying the games are good, you won't have it because you dislike the company for some reason but you don't even know anything about it cause you've actually put no real time trying the product than maybe your occasional stay at cousins/friends house which you probably rarely go t oand played for a total of 12 minuts because you were too baffled by the square/circle/x/ l1 l2 set up etc

This is outrageously rediculous.

[quote=Protoman]
Psh... none of which have ever drawn me to want a Playstation console. The ONLY reason I want a PS2 is for Square/Enix games and Mega Man games. Besides, not one of Sony's titles compare to even the above mentioned titles, let alone a Nintendo or Sega title. Yes I have been drawn to other consoles. When I was little I always wanted a Sega console, right up to the Dreamcast (but my parents never bought them for me.)

Oh ***, see this proves that you are a Nintendo fanboy and have no c lue what you're talking about.

You make a half page rant about how you're never gonna try the Sony consoles or any other console that isn't nintendo/sega related, but the reasons you do want it is for games that you're ALREADY FAMILIAR with.

You want a PS2 for square games/sega/capcom games which you know by franchise because they were ORIGINALLY ON a NINTENDO console.

So in response to your rep comment: What the heck do you know?

Well, you say the games on PS2 don't interest you because Nintendo has em', etc. Well, have you bother to play any original titles that appear only on the PS2? I mean, Ratchet and Clank, *** of War, Devil May Cry, Jak series, Tekken, Virtua fighter, Sly, Disgaea, Dark Cloud, Shadow of Colossus, Guilty Gear, Wipeout, Silent Hill, Katamari Damacy, Suikoden, Onimusha, Dynasty Warriors, Soul Calibur III, Rygar, which are alone titles besides MEGAMAN AND SONIC that are worth getting a PS2 for, nub.

Don't worry everything will be alright.

[QUOTE=TendoAddict]You're the only one that wants sony to live, which tells me you don't want them to die. No one even said they would die, the closest thing being peopel hoping that they would die which is not the same thing.

You are the one saying that just want them to live, which me means you had the fore thought of them diying.

I am not the only person that wants them to live. Not by a long shot. People have, in fact, said that Sony will die after this generation because "they've screwed up so much". I didn't think for one second that they would die; other people did. Your reasoning sucks.

[quote]If you are not afraid of Sony going away and then why do you keep saying things like going way of sega?

I never said they'd go the way of Sega. YOU made the comparison that Sega went out of making consoles because they failed so badly. I just said they weren't heading in that direction.

And Pit ftw.

Ratchet and Clank, Sly and Jak are horribly generic and uninteresting. I could play much more interesting platformers on my N64, back when the genre was actually fresh. Tekken 3 was the last decent game in the series. Everything after Virtua Fighter 2 was awful. Soul Calibur III pales in comparison to SC2. Suikoden 2 was the last decent game in its series. Onimusha, Devil May Cry (two and three - one was good) and Dynasty Warriors are three of the most repetitive trainwrecks of games I've ever had the displeasure of playing. Wipeout is a horribly executed clone of F-Zero. I quite enjoyed the PSP version, though. Never played Dark Cloud. Never played Silent Hill. Never even heard of Rygar - I'll refrain on passing judgment on these franchises.

So, take away what I've just discredited and I can see five meritable franchises out of the nineteen you named. Even then, *** of War and Shadow of the Colossus don't have much going for them other than visual flair and LOTS OF EPIC ACTION OMG OMG EPIC OMG.

Not much going on except epic action? That's like saying all you do in platformers is jump.

THIS FIRST PERSON SHOOTER SUCKS! ALL YOU DO IS SHOOT WTF!

I will say this though, SotC wasn't that great.

I guess you have to have the inherent appreciation for all things gay and artsy for SotC. The game was scarily basic, yet still stunning. I remember spending hours just looking at stuff. It really was touching. It reminded me a lot of The Adventure of Link, for some reason.

Well, I guess if you were expecting an epic adventure like every other game out there, SotC was most definitely not in that contest. It was as basic as a game could get, but to me it had a sense of grandeur with such little to do. Your only "enemy" is the colossus. I had a hard time trying to figure out if Wander was the bad guy. :(

Like every game out there? What? I was expecting SotC, except without a completely empty world and with more activities than "lol find this big thing and stab him." It was too ambitious without being ambitious enough... if you catch my drift.

But yes, the "grandeur" was there, but that's only interesting for the first couple colossi.

oh yeah okami

What's Nintendo best known for?

Thats quality, and I'm sure everything will be OK in the end.

If you want to make a Nintendo-bashing thread then at least have the common decency to say what you're bashing in the thread title instead of using thinly-veiled sarcasm. That way I can at least be arsed to form rebuttles if need be.

Locked because this thread is just annoying to read.
