this place is dying
the only active threads are obscure and uninteresting film trailers & IGN reviews that Mecha posts
any game thread gets a couple of posts and then goes dead
there's so much to discuss about games for an Xbox One gamer
but as everyone here is on a PS4 I guess I can see why gaming discussions are dry
shame really
anyone know some good active gaming discussion boards?

It's only the first year of this gen. Not our fault that there isn't much to discuss. Besides, when the Xbox Republic and PS3 Nation were first created, it was years after the generation's launch.

Pretty much the reason why I tend to hesitate making threads. They just don't go anywhere now. Just wait till the next Uncharted trailer and the usual suspects will be circle jerking all over it on a thread.
Planning on playing The Evil Within soon and probably do a first impression. I could make a "then and now" thread for FFXIV but I think most people are sick and tired of me making FFXIV threads haha.

Not sure if posting in your clearly fanboy Xbox threads is worth it.

You know what... maybe we should start general threads for some games now. Because the comic book threads here seem more active now that they are more organized.

The problem is more just that none of us play the same games, so we don't have much to say about them. Our most successful discussions are making fun of shit, and insulting that rabid fuckhead of a toddler we call Mecha.
I've been considering new incentives for posting, such as member ranks, an awards gimmick, some kinds of giveaways or novel competitions, and a more worthwhile reputation system, but those would be difficult to implement at this point in the forum's life-cycle. It's hard to attract new members too, since most people would since all of our members are too tightly-knit, and have so many posts that it's difficult to seem like an actual inclusive community to them. A post count reset may be necessary in this regard. There's also the fact that a typical forum has a ratio of 90:9:1 for [lurkers]:[occasional posters]:[heavy contributers].
I might start making monthly threads for people to discuss and vote on their most anticipated game (this month), or less frequent threads for the 5 big non-PC platforms, eventually measuring them all up against each other, but that would have to wait a while, unless someone else were to do it. I've been considering making more of my PS Home adventures threads, but I don't think there's an event going on atm.

It's the console wars that made us so active last gen. Hell, that's the whole reason why we're here in the first place. But the console wars this gen so far is pretty lackluster. There just isn't a ELPRESADOR, GeneralMLD, TruthSetUFree, or the two Wii fanboys (I forgot what they were called) of this generation as of right now.
Sad truth is, while we can't stand fanboys, they're the ones that keep us alive.

This is true. 7th addressed this
Sadly Crapgamerreviews pussied out and didn't want to debate. Sucks.... could have brought back the good old days. We need GeneralMLD back. That's really just it. He sparked some hatred and life from the sony ponies. He gave the xbots boners. It was perfect. Elpresador did the opposite. Hellhound pretended he was on the xbox side then later revealed he was a playstation fanboy the whole time. brodeo couldn't make up his mind what side he was on... I mean there was so much shit throughout the generation that made it so entertaining. It kept us compelled. If anything we became more passionate gamers as a result of it all. We need that back!

GeneralMLD can't come back because his logic no longer works now. Unless he bought a PS4 instead of a Xbox One this gen, but I highly doubt that.

Because of the sales thing?
He actually openly predicted the PS3 would outsell the 360 by the end of the generation. His point was that for so long Microsoft was able to keep Sony at bay. Basically they had toppled the king who dominated in the PS2 generation. It was unforeseeable for the Xbox 360 to have the success that it did. The fact is, it took an entire generation for PS3 to outsell the 360. It played catch up for an entire generation.

You obviously don't understand the mechanics of the game catch.

I know he predicted that the PS3 would eventually outsell the Xbox 360. I was talking about PS4 vs. Xbox One. It's one of the reasons why he never came back. That, and he's busy working in two jobs.

I get what Ang is saying. I know we play the same games often but we always seem to play them at two different points in time.

Does anyone besides us 2 play FFXIV? I know Mecha doesn't. Because he makes it a point to post "still haven't played it yet" or something to that extant on every FFXIV thread.

I'd probably play if I didn't have to pay for the game itself, and if I had my mouse here.

I'd agree that the problem is that we have different interests and we already pretty much know the opinions of others.
I will play mostly on pc and a lot of League. In addition to that I will play Ps3 exclusives and I will probably get a Ps4 for the exclusives when theys come out. Lykos will make comparison threads where he tries to make the xbox look better than the playstation. Orion will mostly troll and hate on linear games. Mecha will get bashed by everyone for fun. Padders will play some japanese stuff. etc...

Well unlike others here, my opinion can change. I don't swear allegiance to any platform. So you never really know what I'm gonna think of certain consoles/games.
I was all over 3DS. Then I realized the extreme superiority of the Vita and went off 3DS.
Everyone else here will suck up to Sony consoles regardless of their quality.

Ftfy.
It's more just a general preference of the exclusives, and the lack of needing to deal with Micro$oft's bullshit. Most people on here don't seem to think either next gen console is really all that worthwhile atm.
