Such a great place for getting gaming news. Well put-together OPs even for old obscure games. Weekly Japanese sales threads. Above-average discussion (certainly better than here lmao)

Sure they were an echo chamber and the mods were too strict, but they were really the only gaming site I've seen without any of the incendiary bullshit like people whining about SJWs and feminists. It was really refreshing to see a place with absolutely no support for things like gamergate. Nobody complaining when a game has an LGBT or poc character, etc.

It's a shame it had to end this way.

Of course there weren't complaints about SJW's there, it was home base? The mods pushed an idealogical angle and the people responded by leaving you to your echo chamber.

Only times I went there was when people linked me to threads there, which was usually either a repost of news from elsewhere, or someone trying to get me to care about someone there losing it over some anime titties beyond "wow it sure is absurd seeing someone get so worked up over something so inconsequential", which I can also say about the people elsewhere flipping out over the color of a character's skin.

Never had problems finding news for the games I care about without it.

edit: they could just get a new head to operate the site. The site alone does not deserve to go down. We get a ton of developers and great content posted.

With Neogaf, it was centralized. Also you get a lot of insider information from techies and developers. Not to mention the dedicated game OT threads were really well made.

Why don't you use the reply feature?
And because it was an overtly SJW echo chamber where free expression and open discussion were not possible.
Disagree with someone in a way that isn't totally self-deprecating? Ding-dong bannu. Hold an opinion that doesn't line up with the majority held position? Ding-dong bannu. Say anything even slightly critical of Sony? Ding-dong bannu. Try to inject the slightest amount of banter into your post? Ding-dong bannu. Criticize the site's admin for sexually harassing women? Ding-dong bannu.
Hopefully you get the idea. People tend to dislike a forum that operates more like a gulag.

Lmao, they all quit in solidarity with no actual evidence of the allegations against their owner and they're running with the slogan "believe women"? Yeah, good fucking riddance. Not saying you shouldn't take these allegations seriously but you shouldn't start pointing fingers until there's actually proof. Just taking their word for it when it's a public figure involved is a fucking joke.

Yep, they cannibalized themselves over unfounded allegations, which is bound to happen when they're all such raging feminist SJWs that thrive on pure emotion over rationale.

Except it doesn't affect them. It's a gaming website, the actions of the owner are inconsequential to the functioning of the site, but they turned it into an extreme left echo chamber so of course they have to defend their image. 

If SBallen was accused of trying to feel up a drink girl in a shower would this site cannibalize itself too over it, or would we just laugh at him and make memes about It? The NEOGAFers here would have a hissy fit, but then be ignored.

But what if said girl was at SBAllen's place and was all into him? And liked when he went in the shower?

UPDATE: I read what the neogaf guy apparently did and the girl said when he got in the shower that, that wasn't ok and she had a boyfriend.
So he LISTENED and stepped out, and then it was just awkward til the next morning when he dropped her off.

Wow that forum is a scary place then if they are willing to let the site implode because of that, dude did one advance, got shut down, so he left. There is nothing wrong with him being distant to her after that.

There is so much hyperbole about Neogaf. They do have people who are offended by everyone, but I've constantly seen them being called out by other members (who were not banned). For example, someone was complaining about Mario wearing a sombrero being "offensive." While some people agreed most thought it wasn't offesnive. What does nearly every other gaming site say. "LOL look at these cucks in the liberal hivemind trying to ruin Mario."

    That absolutely is how the site and its users were. I've seen hundreds of NeoGAF screenshots that read just like that, while showing multiple replies agreeing with and reinforcing whatever lunacy had been spouted, and without a doubt any post trying to reason against said lunacy had that nice little (Banned) under the name.
    NeoGAF didn't get its reputation for no reason. It wasn't the victim of some massive propaganda campaign spanning half a decade with the purpose of making them out to be insane liberal zealots. That's how they were, and they reaped what they sowed.

    Yup. Remember the Scribblenauts impression from E3 2009? One of the most hype posts of all time (even though the first game was kinda disappointing).

    I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wandering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out.

    Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.

    So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.

    Holy fucking shit.

    Just kick Evilore out and all the shitty mods and SJWs but keep the core base for the OT's and obscure gaming threads.

    Yeah stuff like that was great. And when Final Fantasy XIII was announced for Xbox 360

    Square just shot themselves in the foot.

    I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance. 

    What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXIII for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

    Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIII for Xbox 360 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

    Sorry if I ruffle too many anime fan feathers over here but, how is he wrong, though? About the character design.

    Because it says more about him than the people he's criticizing. Ask yourself this: would that honestly be the first thing you thought of when you see that character?

    Sleepy and pigeon toed...possibly a lakers fan...

    To be fair his description of that character was spot on. She existed solely as a the big boobed submissive shy fanservice girl that occasionally got her boobs groped

    That said it's pretty weird that he went into such detail and broke it down like that >_>. I don't really give it much thought other than "Oh this trope again"

    Just shows you how he thinks, judgmental as fuck assuming it was all based on character design, nice little window into how they more than likely view actual people too.

    He's criticizing the character design, which is important in..everything. And yeah, the character in that picture is of an incredibly generic, stereotypical design. I wouldn't sit there and think about all of those points because I'd get bored of doing that, but I'd roll my eyes before scrolling onward. With the points laid out like he does, yeah, I'd agree with every one of them about that design.

    Then you're just as much of a crazed ideologue as him. The gaming community would benefit from having less people like you.

    Like I said, it hits too close to home. It seems that people feel attacked by criticism like that.

    I'll miss those topics that show off indie games for each month. They included descriptions, gifs and screenshots. Users really gave a lot of effort for topics like that.

    Hell I discovered a game called Echo through GAF. Made by some ex-Hitman devs. Haven't seen that game anywhere else. Not even in my Steam suggestions.

    I got banned from NeoGAF because I said the Rapier was one of my favorite swords in the game Arcanum. The reason for the ban was "supporting rape culture"

    It was refreshing that a forum discouraged posting like a fucking moron. It did have its problems, though.

    Seriously. WrassleGAF threads were hilarious reads lol

    The OT Movie and TV threads got way more traffic than the topics do here and constantly got updated with the latest news
    This is where my sigs suppose to be.

    I think I have a pretty good idea where they got that notion from.
