Console gaming rules, why are PC fanboys hating on it?

If you say you never spent hours trying to fix a game, then you are lying.

I don't remember the last time I've spent hours or even close to AN hour fixing a game. It's very rare to even have to fix a game, however it's nice that the PC is a platform which allows people to fix things, unlike the consoles where you're stuck with sh!tty performance , graphics and any bugs that went through testing no matter how game breaking.

If you say you never spent hours looking at Tom's Hardware and planning out your build budget on Newegg, then you are lying.

This happens every time you upgrade, which is every good few years and the "spent hours" varies depending on how decisive you are and how aware of hardware you are. Regardless, some people enjoy building their PCs and see it the opposite way you do.

If you say you never spent hours reinstalling the OS, messing with registry settings, or poring thru your motherboard manual, then you are lying.

Haven't reinstalled my OS or went into the registry for years. As a guess I'd probably say 3 or 4 years. Overclocked my CPU when I got a new cooler about a month ago and didn't read the manual once.

Console gamers do none of this.

They sit down and play.

So do I. Only difference is, games load considerably faster, look considerably sharper, cleaner, crisper and with more visual effects and run considerably smoother and at considerably higher framerates and resolutions than they do on the consoles.

Not trying to denigrate PC gaming, just saying there are benefits to being a console gamer too, and those benefits are at least equal to, if not better than the benefits enjoyed with gaming on a Windows computer.

[QUOTE="Exxite"]

A pc "gamer" is someone who plays a game on a pc. The minitority (hardcore) does not reflect the majority.

Most pc gamers just buy the dell get home plug it in and it just works. They don't care if it's loaded with bloatware, the video card is subpar, etc... They don't know these things and don't care they just play the games.

ZombieKiller7

We don't generally consider those people "hermits."

A hermit is a PC gaming fanboy.

Not simply someone who uses a computer.

We're on a forum, we're all using a computer.

Well then how do you seperate a hardcore console gamer from the regular console gamer? You used ease of use as a pro for consoles which is true. So when I came back with that most pc users haven't even seen the inside of a computer and have just as easy time using it you then say they don't matter?

Downplaying PC exclusives cause of budgets/being indie? Didn't Journey, Amnesia and Minecraft put an end to this? Plus you two talk as if all PC exclusives/ indie games are cheap 2D side scrollers/flash games. I've seen plenty of console gamers on this forum bring up JRPGs that have nowhere near the hype/attention of the big budget/flashy popular games. Infact what are these console exclusives?

NoodleFighter

No I am downplaying those indie exclusives because they are often overrated and extremely simplistic, hotline miami is one of the more recent ones that come to mind. Addtionally I never said PC exclusives were cheap 2D side scrollers, I know there are quite a few big budget ones, but those are the same ones that most PC gamers are attracted to. Which was my point, those are the same type of games that flourish on consoles (save the MMOs and strategy games) yet PC gamers hate on console gaming.

I actually always enjoyed the bolded part...

As for hours of fixing games, nope. Had an issue pop up here and there, most were fixed quickly, with little effort. Only more time consuming issues happened when I went to play some really old PC games, especially when they needed a DOS emulator, like DOSBox...

As for OS reinstalls, registry settings and mobo manuals, they're all usually related to software or hardware issues. On the PC, such issues can at least be fixed by the user. On consoles, a larger issue pops up, warranty time, or if you're unlucky, new console time...

I get that.

I'm just sick of lying hermits saying they never have to do anything or fix anything. And then you go to PC forums and it's like "I can't get xyz to run, or abc runs like crap or xyz crashes or abc is heating up my vid card."

Apparently hermits think there's nothing good about console gaming and PC gaming is the same level of "pick up and play" ease.

In my world they each have their benefits and drawbacks but you can't reason with fantards.

It's true that paying $1000 for hardware turns the average joe into a big D*CK that can't just be equal, he has to argue that his gaming experience is objectively better in every way, otherwise he feels like he got ripped off. Hence the whole "master race, vee are superior" thing, is just buyers remorse on a grand scale.

People are having a more comfortable and entertaining experience on a $299 Xbox from 2005? Preposterous.

But the preposterous has happened and is continuing to happen, that's why MS makes the billions and the rest of us buy their schit.

It's not "rare" you a$$hole.

Spending time tuning your PC is part of the culture.

Spending time fixing things is part of the culture.

Spending time research and read and learn is part of the culture.

PC is not a brand of console appliance, it is an involved and dedicated HOBBY of pursuing knowledge and mastery of technology in general.

Some people do not want that hobby.

Some people only want to game.

That is not the same as saying "PC's break down more than consoles" or some such.

why is it soo hard for you understand that not everyone has issues? thats like saying that EVERY single xbox/ps3/wii/ds/psp has all failed on them and everyone has to buy new ones...

who wants to be equal? look for the future. GROW and look for the best

there is reason why a pc cost more then a console from a gamer stand point. console makers sell their hardware at a loss to sell games for profit. PC you pay your crap on full = cheaper games so more games a pc buys more savings. more console games you buy more you spend

There are people that suffer from technical problems on the console specific forums too. Should I take those specific examples, and claim everyone is constantly fixing their games on consoles? No, because I'm not an idiot. Everyone knows it's 'easier' to buy a console from the store and plug it into your TV. You're still making PC gaming way more complicated than it actually is.
