How exactly are Pc gamers a master race?

Really.Its a stupid term like a million other terms on system wars pc gamers are also human just like consolites.This wont be a stupid thread full of stereotypical pictures.

Pc gamers arent richer then console gamers.My rig will only be about 600-700£ and it will be able to run games on max (radeon 7870) the price difference isnt that big.Buying a ps3 on launch and then having to buy another one because of YLOD costs more then rigs.

Console gamers who own all 3 consoles and revisions if YLOD or RROD are defiently more rich then pc gamers.

You dont have to be a pc gamer to be good with electronics and computers i kow many people who can build a computer but they dont even game on it and im sure a console player is capable of building a computer.

Feel free to call this thread stupid and give it 10 pages.

Play a good game on the PC, you'll know why.

There's a lot of "PC-gamers = master Race" posters here in SW that rock out hardcore with their built in on board integrated graphics on Laptops bought with parents money/finacial aid.

They have teh hardcore Steam. They are the Master Race, and yes they are very, very, very wealthy.

You have stumbled on their secret.

Because leaving the middle part (baiter) out, makes it totally sound much better.

I have a high end PC and i still dont consider myself part of a master race, i love PC gaming, a lot, but the vast majority of games i like are only on consoles.

Multiplats like Borderlands are always best on PC :D

I try to convince people that it's more expensive to console game, but they never believe me.

Something about free DLC, cheaper games, and tons of quality free games doesn't scream "less expensive".

But then they tell you it's the hardware that makes PC gaming expensive, but like you said, a $600-$700 computer can run anything, and I guarantee most console gamers have a PC in their house that cost roughly $500+ from the store. Pair that with their $200-$300 console, and it's just as expensive, if not more.

master gaming race. the graphics difference, performance difference, games count difference, multiplat difference. its amazin'.

It's a name they invented to feel better about themselves from being...well, i don't know "smarter" i guess? you know if playing a boring simulator for 10 straight hours is makes you smart.

Honestly, i don't have anything against PC gamers, hell i used to be one a few years ago (haven't upgraded in years) but the elitism they show is sometimes pretty sad and annoying.

As far as I know "master race" is a term mocking the seeming elitism of PC-only gamers.

It's definitely not a complement, although I guess one can take it as such.

Probably because PC gamers in general tend to be more engaged in the industry and are more likely to own multiple platforms. This isn't always the case but you're more likely to find someone who knows what they are talking about when playing PC games online than when you're playing console games.

I believe you.

It's cheaper to PC game, but more fun and hassle-free to console game.

PC is like a car, you need one.

Console is like a bike, you don't need it, you just have it because it's fun to ride.

"Hermit" are PC-chodes that tell people on bikes "use a car, it's better" and clearly have no concept of riding for fun vs riding to get from point A to point B.

In this sense we say that hermits are socially stunted ie virgins.

You're analogy lost me when you said bikes are for fun, and cars are just a tool to get somewhere.

I'm pretty certain there are millions of people who bike to and from work/store/wherever, and millions of car lovers who just love to drive.

It's not about who is richer, nobody said that. Ever.

It's about performance, more frames, customizability, cheaper games (sales), etc.

After the way hermits treat people on this forum, day in day out every single day, bash bash bash, peasant look at me I am superior.

I didn't give them the chode title, they earned it.

I'm kinda a PC elitist, but I don't like referring to myself as a "master race"... I feel that term is associated with the Nazis..

I don't know why other PC fanboys always use it.

PC gamers, on average: demand a better game; expect integrity from developer and publisher alike; will mod, patch, and tweak a game until the cows come home (just look at Skyrim); and much, much more. We shape the gaming world as much as the people that offer us games do; they know it, too, and are threatened by us (hence the whole piracy copout). We take advantage of the latest hardware, software, and game engines; and yet we do not shun dated looking games, or retro titles.

If that is too long an answer, look at it this way: consoles are computers. Very weak, small, petty computers; they have basic hardware, a simple operating system, and very little flexibility. What kind of person wants to hamstring themselves in that fashion, and be force-fed the gaming equivelent of pop music?

PC gamers like myself do not become part of the master race we are born that way. If you have to ask why then you're not ready to understand the truth about pc gaming and all its glory. :P

It's obvious hyperbole.

The fact that a group of people is trying to convince themselves and other people that they are somehow a "master race" of VIDEO GAMES of all things is beyond pathetic. Among other things.

the fact that you think we are serious is beyond beyond pathetic :P

seriously, I do think PC gaming is infinitely better in every single respect (except for split-screen coop, you got us there), but I don't think we are better people than console gamers. At the end of the day, we just all want to have fun :)

Because we have the best gaming experience.

you are right you are stupid. on topic no one is talking about the monetary capability of people playing any system so leave your complex in home, i always thought the master race was because pc is the best system, and it is, simple as that.

Well if they're just joking then hardee harr harr, but some of these people sound pretty serious.:|

Pc gamers are fat nerds who play wow all day, and they have internet girlfriends on runescape

Play a good game on the PC, you'll know why.

WiiMan21

Pretty much this.

I played Dragon age Origins on console, not long after I bought my first good rig.

When I played DAO on pc, it was a world of difference. I can never go back to the console version.

And this is just one example.

Imagine money is no object, now which system do you want? Don't feed into whats more popular, buy whichever system(s) you feel are the ones you would like to own. Being happy with what you bought is a major factor in the reasoning people consider themselves above each other and in one instance "which would be price of machine" most people would consider "What you get is what you pay for" and I find that true with the PC hobby.

Buuuuut to justify the PC, PC Gamers usually refer themselves as the "Master Race" because of the effort it takes to make a good performing system, now you COULD be a millionaire and buy the best of the best money can buy but that would not account for the skill and patience needed for overclocking which in itself is another challenge that keeps this hobby so interesting and not a "pay to win" sort of deal and sadly this isn't a satisfaction console owners will never know being that the developers made it so that the system cannot be tampered with.PC owners usually and annually spend more then the average console owner.

Personally I feel held back on consoles, although I do like some games made exclusively for them, they still in my mind would have been 100% better as a PC multiplat just for the simple fact that the PC feels so much more unbound. BUT I have thought about this for some odd reason and what I have found really is what brands appeals most to you. Not everyone is into super high HD graphics, and I find Xbox360 owners usually are more aware of the fact that PC owners have most of the games they play but with much more freedom and capability but even with that realization the Xbox 360 is hands down the best "Price/Performance" system this gen with most of the games in my mind, people would want to play which justifies its existence "It gets potential Gamers interested in the hobby although mostly for the wrong reasons" But I am COMPLETELY agenst their UI and feel like its the most bogged down POS out of any current gen console and that alone makes it my least favorite this gen BESIDES the inclusion of Halo and Forza.

PS3 owners on the other hand usually enjoy the more user friendly interface where they can store all their media with a simple scrollable UI instead of folders. I know many PS3 fans and they are DIE HARD fanboys for the Sony franchise and most of them tell me they originally bought their PS3 because they feel like it in some way can do most of the basic things a PC can do such as the internet browser and other features that actually do resemble the PC in its most basic form. "I personally feel every owner of a PS3 is a PC gamer at heart" and some of their games really reflect that, I really have to respect Sony for allowing their games to be played with mouse and keyboard. The funny thing is that in comparison with the PS3, most of the multiplats are less graphically appealing but their exclusives look one of a kind and can actually rival the PC in rare cases "but not in a single whole game experience".

WII on the other hand.... I have absolutely no idea how to categorize them, I will say however they have brilliant and open UI which allows allot of customization which is TECHNICALLY unbound but I also feel like its not an the same level as PS3 ALSO for the simple fact that the controller is abysmal I cannot take this console completely seriously, even the WII-U is starting to look like a system which Gamers don't want to bother with because of the controls but its refreshing I guess to at least have something different.

BUT what appeals to you most is truly important. The defining reasons why PC Gamers are defines as master race is solely because the amount of sheer power some of these games need to run. The TRUE power of PC has not been shown yet and one day I believe it will be realized, Star Citizen may be the first of many to finally show the world what PC is capable of which can lead to some truly great games. The plain truth about it all is, in order to know, you MUST have a truly high end PC. ALL of my friends even the ones who don't even own a computer agree... PC is just better and explaining it to people who don't have one is like trying to explain color to a blind person.

The true master race are multi-platform gamers.

I am however a fan of atleast one type of game on each console which justifys its purchase in my book. Master Race is a term for people who care more about the games they play then the people who dont.

Actually this is a quote from someone who has not thought about this at all. I have all systems and I use them all, I dont however spend all my time playing them. Its called restraint. I use my consoles as a recreational tool to attract my old friends to keep coming by after nearly 6 years of being out of High School. It works and we all enjoy our company from time to time. I belive this is a great purpose to bring to your consoles if gameing is its only function to you.Im someone who I consider to have a great social life and your consoles can actually help you if you arent too attached to them.

We need more people like you in SW.

Nice to actually hear a voice of reason.

Our games are better looking

Our gams have better image quality

Our games have higher frame rates

Our games have a better gameplay experience because of said higher frame rates

Our games are cheaper

Our games have mods

Our games have more content

Our games generally support more players online then there console counter part ( BF3 for example )

We have the STEAM Sale

We get our buggy games fixed via the community

We tend to have less annoying kids show pwnzor and noobz on out servers ( Xbox LIVE is awful for whiney little kids )

Our machine are a lot more flexible in terms of functionality

Our machines look cooler

And finally.....

Our machines are used to MAKE the games and content that you play...

No high end PC = No machine to run maya to make your games...

i was taking the P1ss mate.

And my last post on the last page may seem one sided with PC but I was assuming this topic that people were automatically thinking PC is Master Race and without atleast implying it, no one would have understood what I was trying to say, its really an uneducated term in my opinion "Master Race" because I cannot find a reason not to own any of these systems.

The PC as a gaming system has reasons why it is great, even if it isn't your gaming machine of preference.

The PC gaming users have no right to declare themselves superior humans based on this. It really is facile. Surely, nobody could possibly make such an arrogant claim and be serious about it?
