Xbox trolling

The following is being offered free of charge to all those who feel the need to troll the Slashdot Games section newsgroup. Please print out a copy and keep it with you at all times. If you follow these simple steps, you trolling is guaranteed to improve.



1. If a game is currently on PS2 and there are plans to bring it out on the Xbox, make sure to claim that no one will want to play that game by the time it gets to the Xbox. For example, by the time Virtua Fighter 4/GTA3 comes to the Xbox, we'll all be playing something new.


2. Use the reverse logic if it is a game only on the Xbox that may be ported to other systems/PC later. Case in point, Halo. Say something to the effect of "I'll wait for the true version of Halo on the PC". "It will be much better than the Xbox version".


3. Constantly complain about FPS on consoles ACCEPT for Goldeneye.
Always use Bill Gates name. Act as if he is the one making the games.
By all means, if you run out of clever or interesting things to troll about, just bring up Mr Gates. Lots of people hate him and will be glad to agree with you.


4. Complain about the XBox controller. Even if you have never seen or used it, it won't matter. People will believe you when you say it's big. Be sure and try to provide a testimonial about your wife or girlfriend or kid who complains about the size of it. Also claiming to be injured by the controller can be the foundation of a great troll post.


5.When referring to the Xbox, try to scew the name a bit. Xblox, eggs bocks, the stupider the name, the more favorable of a response you will get.


6. Be sure and mention Japanese and European sales numbers. If you aren't sure what those sales numbers are, go ahead and make something up. Estimate low, most people will believe you.


7. Although Xbox owners seem to enjoy there games, make sure to comment on Xbox not having any games with good gameplay. Although the Xbox does share some ports with PS2 and Gamecube, it's okay to assume that the Xbox version of those ports has poor gameplay as well.


8. Since the Xbox has nice graphics, be sure and find a way to put a negative spin on this. Using the age old formula that states if a game has nice graphics, it must have terrible gameplay, you can convince people that Xbox games are all tech demos.


9. Defective Xbox stories are excellent to use in trolling. The best part is that they require no proof. I find that "the screen just froze up" works great. Occasionally you can use something really bizarre like "My friend bought an Xbox and it caught on fire and burned down there house. Now they are homeless. Fuck Bill Gates."


10. When all else fails, lie. There are lots of people who will agree with you just because they hate MS.


How many of those can you identified with? :D
 
is that supposed to be funny or something? someone could do the same thing about any other console, with the difference that a list for any Sony console would be 100 times bigger than that... :LOL:
 
another great post(not)

found something suitable, in looking up "Chap" in the dictionary

Chap- to cause soreness or chaffing.
-a young boy or man who has not yet reached full maturity.
- to cause splitting or cracking of the skin
 
I think it's funny.

It's a joke, you know, they're making fun of trolls because all trolls follow that same basic pattern. :p
 
You could easily turn it around to fit other systems. Such as with PS2.

1. If a PS2 game has great graphics, continue to say it's not real time, or say Xbox can do that with ease.

2. Constantly bash Sony for "hyping" their system when in reality you were the one who fell victim of the hype to begin with.

3. Trash any game on PS2 under any means necessary, including saying the graphics suck.

4. Make pointless posts about how bad PS2 graphics are and how Xbox is far better.

5. Say that PS2 is only winning because of a headstart and or people buy 2-3 of them and decorate them in their homes.

6. Bash anything PS3 related under any means necessary, Sony isn't allowed to have a powerfull system remember? That job is for big Microsoft.
 
How about anti-PC trolling?

1) Claim that PC games are invariably uglier than console games. Never mind the fact that UT2k3, Splinter Cell, and DOOM3 look a lot better on PC than on Xbox. The Sims is ugly, so all PC games are ugly.

2) "Prove" that high-end PCs are less powerful than PS2 by using GTA3, the buggiest 3d engine ever to disgrace the PC.

3) Complain about how expensive PCs are, then brag about your 1080i HDTV in the next thread.

4) Insist that gamepads give you a "better feel" than mouse/keyboard.

5) Complain about how unstable PCs are. Use your own computer as an example. Ignore the gigabytes of porn and pirated software on your hard drive.

6) State outright that "PC games are unprofitable". Blizzard, what's "blizzard"? Never heard of them. (This same tactic can be used for anti-Xbox, and to a lesser extent 3rd party Gamecube developers)

7) State that "All the good games are on console, all the PC games are ports". DooM, Warcraft, Half-Life, Diablo, Starcraft, Everquest, Baldur's Gate, Quake 3, Homeworld, The Sims, Jedi Knight 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein... never heard of 'em!

8) Insist that Goldeneye is better than DOOM, Half-Life, or Quake 3.

9) Insist that having voice chat on Xbox Live makes up for the slow servers, lack of features, lack of games, lack of moddability, and annual fee.

10) When PC gamers talk about resolutions above 1280*960, pretend that having less than half the resolution can be compensated for by a couple extra per-pixel shaders on the Gamecube or Xbox version.

11) Antialiasing? Never heard of it. At least, not until PS3 is released.

12) Insist that PC gaming is "dying" and PC game sales are "plummeting" without providing any evidence.

13) After you've finally been convinced of PC graphical superiority by watching the DOOM3 video, spam the following opinion. Consoles are much better at rendering human facial expressions, and console games have a much better art style. Use non-realtime screenshots and face demos to back up your opinion.

14) Adamantly insist that Game X (on console) looks better than Game Y (on PC) because of an unspecified "artistic style". To prove your point, compare an in-game screenshot of Game Y to a pre-rendered, heavily antialiased or post-processed picture from Game X.

15) Any pro-PC arguement can be countered with "Yeah, but the PS3 will be 1000x as powerful". In fact, Sony is underestimating the strength of their PS3. By the time it is released, the PS3 will be millions, if not quadrillions of times more powerful than a PS2. No way PC can match that.
 
1) complain that there is no DVD player on the GC

2) complain that the media is too small for real games

3) pretend that only kids would want to play with this playskool-like console. real men play xbox or ps2.

4) when someone speaking about the last nintendo GOTY, say you wouldn't play it because it's too kiddie.

5) even when they are multiplateform, every game released for the GC is too kiddie to bother playing it.

6) mario and luigi are gay lovers. gamecube is gay.

7) complain that the "W" button is unpractical, even if it doesn't exist.

8) nintendo doesn't respect their customers, they should have made that realistic zelda.
 
Yeah, Chap.. it's kinda universal. Personally, I'd say that each platform gets criticized fairly equally..

Of course, Xbox and especially *insert Nintendo-related thing here* always get the most bulls**t talk..
