If you are a PC only gamer, you aren't a real gamer.

When's the last time a PC exclusive released that was as epic as Halo or God of War? With polished gameplay and amazing movie-like production with an actual story? These games required strong backing from a platform holders and established studios that attract top talent.

PC is a platform for chinese gold farmers and korean RTS nuts. A small fraction play hardcore games, Facebook gamers make up the rest of the community.

You're not a gamer if you don't play Halo or God of War? Oh my...

As a hardcore pc gamer I feel you make some valid points.

Kenny Powers has spoken

@mr-powers: Personally my best setup is the latest 27in iMac and the Xbox One. I'm VERY skeptical about the PC's reliability and tendency to get viruses, and the PS4 launch has been a mess so far. However, like the PS3, the PS4 could mount an incredible comeback in a few years.

Ok then

I say the same thing about console only gamers.

A true gamer would probably have everything. Mobile included.

1000 post minimum before making threads please gamespot.

That's like saying "you're not human if the only vegetable you eat is peas".

That's a ridiculous statement. That's all I can really say to that.

I'm talking about the production values in those games bro. Something always gets cut in the PC exclusives, it's almost never the whole package. That's why indie developers tart off on pc, and their ultimate goal is to get backing from a big studio and develop on xbox or playstation.

A lot of PC shooters that I love that have top notch gunplay and strategy, but are totally lacking a narrative, character development, etc. Or if they have an involved story, gameplay gets cut because of budget constraints and the game ends up being a point and click adventure. If consoles didn't exist, gaming would be a disaster. PC gamers should be thankful that console gamers subsidize a lot of their games. These games wouldn't get made if it was a PC only world.

Party gaming in the real world is also missing on pc, everything has to be a lan party but most regular people aren't that damn nerdy and don't want to drag a damn metal box everywhere. You can convince your friends to bring over a controller and log on for some split screen gaming.

hurrdurrr

PS4 is going gangbusters and xb1 is doing good too. What are you talking about man? Yea viruses are a pain, then you have to have all these anti virus programs sucking your resources and shit. Then driver updates and dealing with windows bullshit. Pain in the ass.

lol "real gamer." This is just sad

shit tier trolling

wait people still get viruses? I haven't had virus in 10 years on any PC i've had.

I hope you pull through this man.

pc is factualy first place every gen, what?

Real gamer....uh-huh.

You must be blessed by baby jesus. I've never heard anyone claim to be virus free for 10 years.

If you think Halo or God of War are epic then you need to play more PC games.

I don't know what to say to you. I guess I can try to muster something: People enjoy different games. Whether they're lesser quality to you doesn't take away the fact that they're playing games. They're still just as much a real gamer if they choose to only play something like Pong and Pacman (which lacks everything you state that constitutes a real gamer) over modern games. I don't see why your criteria should dictate what constitutes a real gamer when it comes down to matter of taste and personal preference. So I don't see why your personal opinion and preference should dictate the overall quality of a "real gamer" - whatever that actually means.

go wait in a league of legends queue with your dual core master race box. First place in what, most amount of shittiest games? First in piracy? First in begging?

I dont think its realistic that someone would spend 800+ dollars on a gaming PC but wouldnt have at least 1 console for exclusives.

Oh good, Davekeh is back.

Quite an idiotic opening statement from the OP. Nothing but bullshit, well done.

I'm sure the name "dudebro" was made for you.

I don't own any consoles.

Too expensive.

No I'm just an elite web surfer apparently. For starters stop clicking on links. Second don't download anything that isn't from a respected well known site. Third calm down on the torrents. Fourth don't click on links on porn sites. Fith if you are elite like me and want to go HAM on the internet, set up a virtual machine. This way you can do whatever you want. Click on whatever you want. Download whatever you want. If you get infected simply dump it and start over. Of course you need a good computer with enough RAM to do this. Me being a member of the Master Race I happen to have one. But if you have not ascended, 8GB of RAM slapped into any modern laptop or computer will do the trick.

You can thank me later.

Soccer moms play facebook games. They aren't real gamers, they're just wasting time not experiencing modern videogames. It's like saying watching vine clips is the same as watching the Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes film festival or an Oscar winning film.

Blatent trolling/bait threads aren't a good way to start off a Gamespot career.
