Xbox & Playstation Twitter Console warriors are insufferable.

Most of the hate is from PlayStation fanboys.
Makes sense there are much more Playstation users than xbox. But Pc lords are on reddit at least when i get there for a quick info.

It doesnt matter what they are

Apple/Android
P/console
Amd/nvidia
Skinny woman/dayyuuum thick woman

The fights are stupid regardless. So just joke bout it.

That marlis character was pretty funny tho. Dude was smart choosing the ps fanboys as a target as its the largest group and the only thing he had to do was talk shit about xbox. That was enough for all the ps trolls on twitter to believe in his whole made up persona. Fools even payed for this dude only fans full of stolen pics lol.

This thread shows OP has added quite alot of warriors on their block list in here and forgot about it, because some people has the "Twitter" mentality you speak of in here as well.

I think because I don't following PC gaming online, I don't really see PC warriors, who are PC warriors even arguing with?

In percentage terms it may be the same, but more fans means more warriors. From what i can tell there are a handful of mostly defensive Xbox warriors and at least a dozen of mostly aggressive PlayStation warriors.

The worst thing you can do is subject yourself to the mouth breathing idiots on Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, or any other social media platform. Nothing but mindless fighting and drama.

Avoid that shit like the plague, and your life will be better for it.

Only thing I've ever tweeted or read the reply to was when I tweeted the Snowrunner devs about a bug.

Other than that, the site is shite. Just seems to be overgrown adult babies fighting for no reason.

Infact it's like that on most things now, the internet and society in general has been overtaken by the American Us vs Them, or Me vs You mentality

Everythings a war, a battle, a shit thing to try and claim any victory. Every site is the same.

Colt sometimes comes across my twitter feed. There seems to be an audience waiting his hilarious takes.

In one vid I saw he was claiming that XBOX was outselling PS5 worldwide. In another, XBOX would have 23 new games out by june 2023. I know there must be PS5 guys that are equally as single-minded but the false narratives from colt are really hilarious.

People use the app? When I use twitter 4 times a year I just use the browser. There's already enough apps on my phone digging for info.

But Twitter is like Youtube, or Reddit, or unregulated gaming forums like Gamefaqs, just bubbles fighting bubbles, and add in the character limitation (though that's ending soon apparently) and the whole bandwagon follow culture, and you have yourself a mess. Retro discussion is near impossible for that reason.
In regards to your comment of installed apps that dig through your data, I downloaded the duckduck browser around 6 months ago and installed their in beta app tracking blocker. During the course of the week it's normal for duckduck to inform me that it has blocked tens of thousands of tracking request from installed apps.

Check this out from a few minutes ago. Over 98,000 request the past 7 days.

PC gamees are even worse.
No, they are not. It's not them that are fighting for who has the worst version of games, worst gaming library and exclusives that could be even better games on a pc version. They have the best, by far, gaming machine.

There are simply more of them because the brand is bigger. That's all.

There's plenty of Xbox twitter accounts that are simply ridiculous.
PlayStation is indeed bigger but majority of owners are always casuals.I don't think there is a big gap between number of active fanboys on internet.

Being ridiculous is bearable.But, Living your life over toxicity of another brand is not.

Every Xbox game gets review bombed by PlayStation fanboys on metacritic.Their level of toxicity is beyond reasoning.

Imagine starting a war over two boxes that have the same AMD hardware inside and whose game libraries have like 95% overlap.

Its always the same cast of characters coming into blue and green threads making smart ass little comments

Granted the mods have cracked down on the straight up bashing but a certain few have gotten pretty good at walking that narrow line about getting off their shots and not getting banned

The Xbox fanbase is smaller, but they are clearly more vocal on social against PS.

Because the Xbox staff on social media fosters it and embraces some of the biggest warriors

It`s still the same, you just notice it more when the larger group does it.
You will also find Xbox warriors downvoting every PlayStation game, but there are more PlayStation warriors that spam 10s to make up for it.

You said people are arguing over plastic boxes. That's not true. These boxes have text in them that of understood at a base level, is astounding. One of those boxes is better than the other. So one group defends a lesser box and another touts the better box. It's simple.

While I don't go on twitter. I have listened to a couple of kingthrasher videos and he is definitely a bit much. I started listening to his latest video and had to pretty much nope out of there after a few minutes of listening. I'm pretty sure I've listened to Colt's videos as well since I was listening to a bunch of xbox videos for the developer direct.

Imagine how little joy you have in life to feel better after downvoting a game on another platform.

it's painfully insufferable, i will say from my personal experience i did find one side (won't say who) of the console wars to be more malicious and vitriolic in how they provide their weird little list wars and stupid photoshops.

a while back i learnt to finally just block those clowns, the less of it you see will start to help you forget just how shit as a whole the gaming community has become, i'd love to go back to the SNES/Sega days. I don't understand where the rhetoric comes from that it was as bad or worse back then, it was more just funny "yo dude you playing BORE-io , how slow is that fool" proper playground "yo mamma" type humor. These days it's tribalistic and scary

God of War: R has 18% negative reviews from users on a metacritic. Halo Infinite has less negative user reviews (17%) than God of War: R even though it has a lower critic rating.

So I must be looking in the wrong place. Where are all these "review bombed" games you are talking about?
