As I told you last week, we're going to be looking at the drama surrounding the dual release of Final Fantasy XIII. Rather than focus on all the score whining, we'll just be looking at the console battles between the 360 and PS3 fanboys. Like I promised, it's ridiculous. There's a lot more back and forth arguing on this topic, so expect a lot of long comment strings and replies.

Ready?

To start with, let's address the people who just hate Final Fantasy.

only japanese retards like this retared anime piece of shit

There are comment threads full of that, but they all basically want to same thing. Just be aware that any Japanese game is a stupid anime game.

Moving onto the console wars, we start with a few of accusations that the 360 ruined Final Fantasy XIII.

The xbox ruined this game. xbox holds the development back of games. The xbox is limited in its power. The ps3 can do more. Just look at uncharted 2/ mlb 10 the show/ gow III/ mgs4/ killzone 2

Obviously the Playstation is superior, right?

this game clearly proves how lacking the XBROKE actually is in comparison to the PS3. They had to dumb down the great FF to make it fit on 3 lame dvds. OR, 1 almost full Blu-ray disc. All intelligent RPG fans know by now we should be getting a 2 Blu-ray disc game... but that would mean 6 to 7 dvds and developers won't do that. So they had to dumb it down to make it remotely port-able to XBROKE despite my love for this game thus far, it should be even greater FUCK XBROKE. Throw it away, get PS3

As you probably noticed, while Final Fantasy XIII is still getting good reviews, it's not getting the 10s everyone was expecting. This has lead to people saying the reviews are biased and only based off the inferior 360 version.

Fanboy 1: 360 fanboys, they rate the game and give a review for th 360 version, when clearly FF is made for a ps3 console, its 1 disk, more effort is put in it and it includes beta access to 14, holy fuk if u have both consoles get it for the ps3, and if u dont have a ps3 sell ure fkin 360 and get a ps3 and get this game( only if rue a fan) i personally will get it for the ps3 simply for the beta access, 1 disk and its possible the graphics wil be betetr because or the power of the ps3 .

Fanboy 2: u cant play dis game on the 3shittee, it suks. WAS MDE FOR PS3, PLY ON PS3 NOT 3SHITTEE

Fanboy 3: I'd rather have the 3SHITEE than the Penis Sucker 3

Fanboy 4: Graphics are better on the 360 version actually, all multiplatform games are, look at the side by side screen shots, 360 wins 9 times out of 10. And if it was better on ps3 they would have given it a better score on ps3 like the did with bayonetta.

Fanboy 5: oh my god you are clearly an xbot it looks better on ps3 let me tell you why as clearly as i can first it was made on ps3 then ported to the 360 second on ps3 its 1 disk on 360 its i think 3 or 4 and fyi games look better on 360 because they are made on 360 then ported to ps3 get your facts straight you dumbshit

This, of course, riled up the 360 fanboys. They began justifying their purchases, and, of course, it quickly degenerated into back and forth arguing.

Fanboy 1: No I have both actually, and I bought it for my 360 because games always run smoother on it, i only use my ps3 for exclusives. Who gives a shit if its 3 discs, I havent heard a single person apart from ps3 owners mention it. A hard drive install elimates discs anyway.

Fanboy 2: The 360 version cut scenes are not in HD

Fanboy 3: Yes, the 360 cutscenes ARE in HD. I've got my copy in my XBOX as I type this.

Fanboy 4: nope 576p GOOGLE IT!

Fanboy 5: the game is in 720p on PS3, if you TV says 1080p its properly your awesome sony TV up scaling the game

Fanboy 6: your a fuckin xbot how can the game be better on 360 is it was made on ps3 then ported eto 360 i cant stress this enough games look worse on the system they are ported to and you clearly dont have a ps3 becuz that whole installing games to your hard drive BS is no longer necessary that was only on the first games the ps3 released not anymore and if you reply again saying random BS about how ff13 is better on 360 you are clearly an xbot in denial and i will be forced to own you

Fanboy 7: I said the number of discs for the 360 version is pointless because 360 owners dont care about that, especially when you can just install it. It doesnt look worse on 360, it looks the fucking same, its just not 720p. I said I bought it for my 360 because I prefere gaming on my 360, it has a fuck load of features i cant live without which is why i only play exclusives on my ps3. I can proved you a pic of my 360 beside my ps3 if you want, ill even throw in a wii and a dreamcast if you want.

Fanboy 6: it doesnt look the fucking same its PORTED PORTED PORTED understand you mother fuckin xbot it looks better on ps3 fact just look at the mother fuckin resolution diptard ps3 resolution 720p 360 resolution 567p ya standard def looks exactly the same as high def right theres no difference whatsoever if that were true then why the fuck would they make high def tv's and standard daf tv's and a picture wht dont you show me a real picture dumbass

Fanboy 8: ps3 sux

As you can see, arguments about graphics and number of discs are the most popular topics. I enjoy this argument because a guy announces he likes buying inferior games.

Fanboy 1: Yeah because this game totally suck on 360 and looks nothing like the ps3 version, oh wait it does. Whats that, virtually all multiplatform games look and play better on 360? Yes that does sound like its limited it power alright, how ever does it keep pace and even exceed the most in most cases with its lack of power.

Fanboy 2: cut scenes not in hd for 360 version lol

Fanboy 3: I believe that is because it was a last minute port.

Fanboy 4: it was i am pissed that square enix added this to the 360 list of games. ps3 lovers are mad because u never know this game could have gotten a 10 or atleast a 9.5 with better colors and textures

Fanboy 1: Could not care less, I only use my ps3 for exclusives, everything multiplatform gets bought for my 360, regardless of how inferior it is, I can't stand gaming on a ps3. I have yet to meet someone other than a ps3 owner who cares the game is sub-HD and has 3 discs. Since when did that become a problem. look i really dont give a shit about ps3 being better than 360 im just arguing with a dumbass cuz he cant understand that sometimes games look better on the different systems and is in fucking denial im just trying to prove a point here

Here's a brief interlude where people argue about irrelevant review scores!

Fanboy 1: 360 is so shitty thats y they always get the shitty versions of games such as this and dragon age origins

Fanboy 2: thats funny since xbox 360 games score higher and are more popular, tool

Fanboy 3: Score higher? Its a great console but ive never seen one 360 game achieving a score of 10. No offense but after 2007, ps3 games have been outstanding. The only game from xbox that got over a 9 is Halo 3. (Mass Effect 2 doesnt count since its for PC)

Fanboy 4: Gears of Wars 1 and 2 received a score of 10, Forza received a 10, Bioshock received a 10(it shouldn't matter if it was on a PC it is used on a Microsoft OS),Dead Rising.

Fanboy 5: he first gears was an ok game with a solid story, but bad online, and the second gears sucked ass.

I've noticed in the last few months creativity has really dropped among the fanboys. Penis Sucker 3? Little Shit Planet? Come on guys, step it up.

Fanboy 1: ps3 version is btter. Theps3 version has better resolution than the 360 also it is in 1 disk LOL! 360 suck my dick. but i wont lie 360 is a fucken beast system. I have 2 360's 1 ps3. 360 is just perfect because lal ur friends have it and play on live. ps3 is good because i hardly play games so its free online when i want and its not only a gaming system but a home entertainment system.

Fanboy 2: only good game on ps3 is the " little SH*T Planet". Lol ps3 is just a crappy console.

My life would be a lot better if this kid actually did shoot himself in the head.

Fanboy 1: fan boys they forgot to say that xbox 360 version is not as good as ps3... But when bayonetta was bad on ps3 they went on and made a big deal about how it was more horrible on ps3 version...Much of fucking fan boys..

Fanboy 2: even so, they can help themselves to give all the awards to ps3 exclusives at the end of the year, ps3 superiority is undeniable! =) is'nt it?

Fanboy 3: The console sales say otherwise.

Fanboy 2: oh yeah dont go there're according to you Wii is better than both, im not looking for an argument, there's no argument, PS3 is better, period. and for how much does it cost to have a superior Gaming PC compared to a ps3 or 360, console gaming is still better, in titles as well, console gaming is still better. really, there is no point in favor of the 360 that can make it look better than the ps3, plus, i have both so i have the personal experience too.

Fanboy 4: lol get a nice hd tv and everythin will look about the same

Fanboy 2: ohh my god you know wat im tired of you dumbassas IT DOESNT RUN SMOOTHER IT WAS MADE ON PS3 THEN PORTED TO 360 PORTED TO 360 PORTED TO 360 PORTED TO 360 UNDERSTAND YOU STUPID DUMBASS PORTED!!!! PORTED!!! DAMNIT RETARD UNDERSTAND GOD I FEEL LIKE SHOOTING MYSELF IN THE HEAD WITH ALL YOUR DUMSHIT COMMENTS ITS DONE DONT BOTHER REPLYING I DONT FEEL LIKE WASTING MY TIME WITH YOU NIMRODS

And finally, I want to end with the hands down most ridiculous comment I saw regarding Final Fantasy. There's nothing else I can say.

Whoever own the playstation3 version will become a rapist! U will become a rapist!

Guess that makes me a rapist.
