"I am going to bomb the Bungie...

[36Holla]

...Headquarters and if I see an employee of Bungie, I'm going to rip out their throat for them having such a crappy ending to Halo 3!"

Now obviously I didnt say that because hopefully you noticed the quotation marks. But that is among some of the downright stupid things I've heard people on Xbox Live say since the release of Halo 3.

But it got me wondering, when should fanboyism be considered a problem? Theres nothing wrong with liking a certain game series or system because it embodies what you like in video games, but at what degree of obsession should a person possibly consider getting outside help? The person who I quoted was obviously expecting a great ending to the game and because he was disappointed, he is now verbally threatening the very people who made the game he is playing.

And me and my friends told the guy to calm down, but he started yelling that he had the right to an awesome game and he was deprived of that, therefore "others must pay"

Do me a favor. If at any point you feel so strongly about a game system or series that you feel its appropriate to threaten others over it, please seek psychological help.

Im going to blow up capcom because megaman can't shoot up.

Not really lol.

[CtG]

The ending was really weak. Maybe not the script but the level design. The last 2 levels were just plain lazy. The 2nd to last level was absolutely boring, a chore to play. And then the last was soo long and repetative, it was pathetic

I'm going to kill the president because Bonaza Brothers was so poo.

Wait nevermind that game ruled.

Thats really messed up! I have problems with certain games and the company's that make them so I stopped buying their CRAP! EA games has some of the worst customer support when it comes to the Command and Conquer series. The servers suck and therirs so many hacks and cheats it's unreal. Someone could cause a "Mismatch" by running a "Trainer" program or the Server it's self may cause a "Mismatch" I got angry at this so I won't buy any more EA games. Simple?

Anyone who likes shitty games is shitty, too

[That-Is-Bull]

Blizzard once called the cops on some faggot in their forums who threatened to kill himself if something didn't happen in some game or something.

Thats nice, but you seem to have missed the point.

[iEatFood]

You should report that guy... surely there is a way to do that right? I mean, Microsoft knows who is he because they have all of his information in order to play on XBox Live. Report the guy...

Even if he's just joking around, it's still not funny. And worse yet, what if he's not?

Yeah, there are ways to report people, but this happened a few weeks ago and I cant remember the guys name.

Well I havent heard any news of it being bombed yet so I think they'll be ok.

Like anybody playing gived 2 shits about the story.

[TheUsed713]

I didn't mind the ending.

He needs help for spazzing about a game

[Rosenrot-I]

People will never realize that games are just games. They are fun, some of them but holy crap get over it, there's no need to obsess about it or line up at midnight outside a store just to get the first copy. It's gonna be the same game the next day.

It becomes a problem when its all they talk about and they don't shut the hell up.

[kdfsjljklgjfg]

Wow, I personally thought it was a great ending.

Still, obsession like that reminds me of one time when I was playing gears and this guy started screaming the N word every time he died.

He sounded like 15-17 though, which made it hilarious.

You have to admit that Bungie made a smart move though. They first drive the halo franchise into the ground and then immediatly leave microsoft leaving them with the tattered remains of halo.

[Whatchamabiscut]

That was an eloquent and extremely relevent statement, thank you.

Viva la PS3!!!!!!!!!!!
