I remember thinking like that when I was a kid. I grew out of it by Age 10 and just did my best to work hard at school so my folks would buy me multiple consoles, allowing me to play all the exclusives.
I don't know if Danny's parents could afford to do that. With two kids and living in an area considered low-income.
Still, the whole console war mentality is something very immature. I can understand a kid doing it, but Razor still being stuck with that mentality while he's nearing 40 is pathetic. With Razor's current income, he should be able to buy any console he pleases or buy and play older consoles or games he missed out on.
Yeah back in the 4-6th console generations, everybody was eating good. I feel like this was especially true of the 6th generation. If you had Gamecube, you had Fire Emblem, Zelda, Mario, and Smash Bros. Xbox, you had Halo, Fable, and Ninja Gaiden. PS2, you had Final Fantasy, Shadow of the Colossus, and Jak & Daxter.
Basically. It was the golden age of gaming, the 90s-2010s. Before the rot from the "westernization" set in. The game companies learned the wrong lesson from the 360's success.
Personally, I like the console war stuff (provided it's all in good fun of course). With exception to the Switch, the consoles and their games just aren't interesting enough to really argue about. The PlayStation has... Stellar Blade and God of War. The Xbox has absolutely nil. At this point, the ire should be aimed at the companies these people purport to love.
The console war should remain as a thing that forces game devs to innovate and make better games. But with Razorfist, he took it as an actual thing for hate, which is asinine, since they're all just corporate products; loving one brand and hating the other just never made sense to me because making good products isn't exclusive to one company or another. His approach to gaming has always felt like a low-IQ, barbarian mentality, where they apply a Manichaean viewpoint to something that's just material and all meant for consumption. It's like, imagine a dude who only eats at McDonalds and he slags someone for eating at KFC. That is Razorfist when he slags Sony but praises Microsoft, when both companies have produced good stuff in the past.
You'd think a self-professed Randian capitalist would appreciate people pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps and selling their own stuff independent of the big gaming companies. The last time I remember him praising indies was over a decade ago, and that was just as a way to bitch about big gaming companies.
Oh yeah, he hates it. It usually comes up when he's streaming Battletech. Someone'll send in a superchat mentioning it "Would you stream a Gundam game, Raz0r?" etc, and then he complains it isn't "realistic" because they move quickly, and he prefers Battletech because they're "like weapons platforms". It's the whole hipster thing, it's like how he likes superheroes, but only the ones with little or no super powers. Which you would think would mean Batman, but nuh-uh Batman's a rip-off. And he likes Fantasy, but only low-fantasy.
Gundams are meant to move fast because they're space-borne combat units akin to an X-Wing or a TIE Advanced from Star Wars; they need to be able to dodge large warship guns while dealing similar amounts of damage to destroy enemy mobile armors, capital ships, and other robots, whereas Battletech's mecha are more like large tanks with legs that are mobile artillery platforms. This uncultured dork really doesn't see mecha as anything other than what Battletech has, which is sad. It's like how he sees all RPGs as DnD sims, and any RPG that doesn't do that is doing it wrong in his mind.
A big fat mech bristling with guns that walks around slowly is just a tempting target for enemy airstrikes or artillery barrages. Having massive, slow-moving mecha bristling with so many guns can backfire hilariously in a battlefield, especially if it moves slowly, and the enemy brings up some artillery cannons, positioned from different angles, to pound it into pancake batter from afar. There goes your billion-dollar investment. It's not realistic in the slightest, because realism demands you make a robot that can A) be a versatile military asset, and B) not be so easy for enemy artillery to target and destroy from afar.
Battletech makes the mechs have significantly more armor than tanks. Tonnage limits also determine how fast the mech is too. Legs and jump jets are for dealing with uneven terrain which tank treads don't work all that well. Also, LRMs are essentially guided artillery, so range isn't that detrimental to them.
That would just mean that the enemy would counter with bigger artillery guns that they would position from multiple angles. Kind of like how Attack of the Clones had massive artillery tanks meant to blow holes on enemy warships.
The cuck grifter Xbot Fritanga trying to start a fight with Gr00merFist now?
Hey, it's like seeing two rabies-infected gerbils fighting. It's all in good fun.
It was MovieBob's Vietnam, and it was probably Danny's Civil War and was a lost cause.
Holy goy on his part,its a fucking mech video game who the fuck cares about realism
