I always find it funny when console gamers call the Hermits 'elitist' or act like their the only ones flaunting their platform.  PUH-LEEZE! :lol:  There are just as many threads where Cows and Lemmings bash each others platforms as there are threads from Hermits where they bash the console users.  Alas!  This is System Wars; what should I expect, eh?  

Every time we brag about graphics, there's always a console user saying, "OMG UR SO ELITIST @@$#*&88"! Yet, a few weeks ago, lo and behold a thread about Fallout 3 on the 360 being graphically superior. :lol:

The way I see it is this: if Hermits are the biggest elitists, than the console users are the biggest hypocrites.

It does amuse me when the 360/PS3 camp calls the PC came Hermit Elitest and while at the same time as pegging Wii gamers as less then gamers.

Elitism isn't the correct term. "Arrogance" is more appropriate. "Elitism" implies that someone prefers something of an elite quality over a poorer quality.

According to the current (faulty) system for deciding the winner in SW, the PC almost always comes out on top, and it's been like this for so long that people have gotten sick of it already.

Still, that doesn't give console fanboys any reason to be hypocritical, but hey, this is System Wars, where justification is unneeded.

Or better yet I will sum it up for you!

PC fans tend to think they know it all! Most just throw out rude comments or sneak one in with their reply to the topic!

You have your platform do you not? Is it the best? Thats an opinion! This is system wars! PC's word is not law! Sales say so Fact get over it! PC fans want to pick and chose their arguments. No sales because it's 3 consoles to 1 PC platform, that is the saddiest argument I have ever heard! Consoles come out on top no matter which way you look at it! Yes PC has better graphics but nothing ground breaking to the consoles not enough for people to spend a grand on an ok gaming rig! The crying goes both ways;)

Yeah, it's stupid at best. Lems and Cows fight over miniscule differences in their multiplats yet call hermits elitists and graphics whores for mentioning Crysis. It's especially ironic when considering the most popular PC games are hardly graphic intensive at all, while lems and cows scoff at anything the Wii offers because it's not "teh HD".

I would argue with this, but people don't really take you seriously around here from what I've heard.  The next PS_John in the making?

That's not really a fair generalization to make. I prefer to game on consoles(for many reasons I won't bother posting here), but to imply it's because I'm not tech savvy is completely false. I've worked in IT for the past 11 years, and regularly upgrade/rebuild my own PC's. I understand the required specs for games, and both of my PC's are fully capable of handling even crisis at respectable levels. Just because some of us prefer consoles, don;t make the assumption that it's because we're not smart enough to game on PC's. Seriously, it's not that difficult. In fact, a post like yours would actually feed into the elitism theory about PC gamers.

I get your point, but it's still annoying when people are like "My 800-1000 euro PC has better graphics then your 200-400 euro console! LOL!" Um yeah, well done I guess. And the graphical gap between PCs and consoles is the smallest ever, compare last gens console games to PC and there was a vast gap. Now the consoles are HD(...ish) there isn't much of a gap really. Of course Crysis owns all, but the likes of Mass Effect, Bioshock, MGS4, Uncharted, Gears 1/2 all look jaw dropping too!
