When one trolls, it's better to make them look even more ridiculous than they were trying to be. By that point most trolls start to lose their cool.

Tis true. You as always remain a beacon of intelligence, common sense and courteous posting. On the other hand we have grown men like Kinthalis painting themselves out to be a schoolyard bully. I don't place this board much higher than YouTube or 4ch anymore.

Because he's a fake and a troll lol. He baited pretty much all of you hook, line and sinker. Does no one remember the Code_Red account right before his?

Kinthalis

I don't exaggerate. I'm just blunt when it comes to consolite idiocy.

i see it. I clal it out. People don't like that. They think I should be diplomatic about some imbecile cosole fanboy claiming PC gmaing is dead, a Pc costs 10,000 dollars, there are no good game son it anyway, etc, etc, etc

Why, is it up to PC gamers to be the diplomats? Why aren't console gamers who say this nonsense DAY IN AND DAY OUT in SW, EVER called to task for the same behaviour?

At least I DON'T make crap up. I back my up arguments with facts.

Oh I wasn´t saying you don´t back your claims with facts,I meant the tone man,the tone. ;)

[QUOTE="rasengan2552"]I don't mind rabid PC fanboys like Kinthalis ripping into ignorant console gamers. They cancel each other out. The Code_blue dude can't even run Morrowwind and he continues to claim the "I'm a PC gamer too !!!" argument. topsemag55

Nah, I can post how I want and call out people how I want. You're free to continue expressing your dissatisfaction with my posts though.

The Top 100 games had less than a million players in total (833989 to be precise). Not so impressive.

Pretty sure that beats the pants out of the Ps3 stats. And unlike the xbox 360, people on the Pc actually play games other than Modern texture swap 3.

Diversity. Probably why you'd have to dig deeper than 100 games to find most of the players.

awww, someone must have hurt pc fanboys feelings, let me guess, someone said pc gaming is dying again.....

The whole industry is dying

video games suffer from been there done that syndrome and poor level design.

Look at the stats - the last games in Top 100 have less than 1000 players. The total number of people playing games is probably not much higher than 1 million. I personally keep Steam active all the time, so bragging about concurrent users doesn't make much sense to me.

30 year old lowlives arguing on forums to protect their PC e-honor.

"But he said the PC was dying"

Yeah? So did half the publications in the country.

Not just for gaming, but simply made irrelevant by tablets and smartphones.

Type "PC dead" in google and go read the dozens of professionally written articles.

5 million connected to Steam?

Worldwide? Out of population 6 billion?

That's a pretty heinous statistic.

In 15 years we went from PC Gaming being universally the only way to game, to being practiced by %0.00000000001 of the human population.

"But we're growing!" Yeah right, so are the Knights of Columbus.

Of course game on your PC, but try other things too, play Dark Souls and RDR and everything else you're missing.

Life is short and tommorrow's not promised.

Don't sit there like a stunted feeb.

Drink from the waters of life and eat of all the good fruits of the earth.

This is what I'm tlkaing about. Console fanboys like these fail at basic logic. Basic reasoning skills. Basic debate skills, certainly.

They just fail so damn hard, it's so easy to pick apart their stupid posts. Why do other people get so defensive, when the only people I attack are people like LazySloth?

BTW, lazy Sloth, those 5 million concurrent are more than any of the consoles can muster. Soooo if Pc gmaing is "Dead".. then what does that make consoles?

I mean I agree with you, but that's the last thing I thought I'd ever hear coming from you.

Kinthalis

They are, but that won't stop you from feeling inadequate will it.

Folks like you feel angry that their rig doesn't buy them l33t status anymore.

Nobody gapes in awe, because even little kids are playing the same games you are (and, quite frankly, better games than you are.)

And they're being catered to hand and foot by half a dozen industries.

Meanwhile you miss out on good stuff because you didn't evolve.

hmmm, i see, i haven't had troubles running any game yet, crysis 2, sims3, skyrim all run at max settings pretty well, i appreciate the feedback

Sounds like Call of Duty numbers on Xbox alone.ActionRemix

Nope. MW3 broke Black Ops numbers, so it pegged above 2.6 million. I believe it was around 3 million IIRC.
