Actually, I trend I've seen is that the lighter the tone of the game is, the better the fanbase will be. Fans of a lighter-toned game don't feel the need to defend their game/characters nearly as hard.


Makes sense to me.

You could probably also apply a similar principal to the amount of time one plays a MMORPG, with the length of time inversely proportional to the pleasantness of the individual!

I find this "best/worst fanbase" discussion pretty amusing.

Apparently the most anticipated match of the contest so utterly uninteresting that people can go like 8 pages with like 2 posts about the match itself ^_^

How about we just put "Anti-fanboys" in general? There's no need to single out Tales of there.

You can't be serious.


Nope. Of course when they found out it wasn't rated M that was just as bad.

Here are some actual quotes from people taken minutes after the game was officially announced:

I only have two words: I'm done.

2 thoughts.

I will except this failure of an idea if it means I can brutally kill people still. Violence.

Death.

Gore.


If not, and none is in play, I say this to you.

**** IT.



**** it,I can't even write anything coherent.
I refused to believe it until the very last second.
Even now,I'm hoping that is Boon's sick idea of an April Fool's joke.
Except it's not April Fool's.

It's over. The MK franchise finally ended up with the gutter trash like DOA,Tekken and the last Soul Calibur games.

What a ******* joke. What a mother ****** joke.


Trust me, MK is the worse fanbase there is. Easily the most ungrateful, negative and insane people in the world.

Pro-Tales people don't actually do anything. They just get hated on by anti-Tales people.

Hm, are you a Tales fan?


I am, which is what gives me a leg to stand on. I can fully admit that a fanbase like SSB, despite stemming from my favorite game, sucks.

Tales fans don't do anything. I've seen 50x more posts about people bashing Tales and anyone who likes them than Tales fans being annoying.

It's boring right now because Snake has yet to hang tough for hours and give hope to his supporters. Right now, I'm half-expecting him to use his excellent Night Vote to laugh at Cloud's attempts at cutting until the day is half over, but I don't want to get my hopes up too highly. This'll probably be like that period in Mario/Crono where Crono supporters were all happy that he had it and everything was really quiet if that happens.

That's not just the Zelda fanbase, that's any fanbase when a game is being ridiculously hyped. X-play received death threats for giving Killzone 3 a 9 instead of a 10 or something.

Pretty much. How the hell can hating a game or franchise be considered positive in any way? Unless the fanbase goes out and plants trees and saves kittens while talking about how much they want to beat Sonic to death with a shovel!

MK's fans are damn hard to please, but the SF fanbase is worse. I saw people threatening to bail on SFIV if it didn't have SFIII characters in it out of the box. If that doesn't say "insular", I don't know what does.

Eh, 4's are rather crotchety, and 5 are smug. Nobody but Saga fans like 2, 3...I almost never see talked about. 1 is, well, Im not sure how to describe em.

6 's are probably 2nd to 7's hayday. Rabble

7 nowadays, not nearly as bad like years ago, but still really facekickable. Infact most of the hate 7 gets nowadays are because of those ravenous idiots back then.....and 7 getting raped like crazy






Speaking of WoW, as bad as that fanbase got(wasnt really that bad back in vanilla, just deteriorated immensely as time went on, to the point of killing kittens now in wrath), its not even the worst Blizzard related fanbase there is.

this is correct. DBZ is pretty much proof of this.

I used to find Halo fanboys extraordinarily annoying, as I was never a huge X-Box or FPS fan, but these days the game's just not quite what it used to be.

I think they're both just as bad. But sometimes the anti-Wii people are those that actually own a Wii and are genuinely dissatisfied.
