Reasons Why Consolites Don't Care About PC Gaming

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="whiskeystrike"] Mmm yet they sap every single developer's attention from PC gaming. PC is merely a placeholder for lowbudget devs and MMOs (which I fully expect to become prevalent next gen). Every relevant dev wants to be on console. They enjoy customers who pay for their products whiskeystrike

No, they appeal to everyone.

And lol, only a PC gamer would call it "equipment"

[QUOTE="whiskeystrike"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"] No I'm saying PC gamers can stop trying to sell the PC's superiority to people who couldn't care less about it.Miketheman83

You're right, the console fanboy peasants are the majority. The true wealthy PC gaming nobleman are smaller in number, but of the more elite.

[QUOTE="Plagueless"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"] Why are PC gamers so intent on pushing their platform that console gamers want nothing to do with on them? Doesn't make any sense to me. The 360/PS3 debate is actually a decent debate considering they are such similar platforms. PC gamers just have to face the facts that they will never be the majority.Primordialous

I completely agree- and nice rig, fellow nobleman.

[QUOTE="lowe0"][QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"]

Oh no, I have evidence they make stupid statement... should I generalize the whole community like that.

The example you stated wasn't elistism, it was plain ignorance and stupid.

Lowe0 are you serious !?!?!?!? You can spot elitism but you can't spot ignorant/idiot statements ? Even though you seem to mix both ?

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

[QUOTE="lowe0"] This is pretty much the same place we left off the last time we had this discussion. There's always some excuse for why elitism should supposedly be overlooked - "they're joking", "they're trolling", "they're an idiot", etc.. Is it really that hard to admit that you consider yourselves a master race and the rest of us inferior?lowe0

no one is trying to convert anybody here what the hell does it matter to us what system you play on

[QUOTE="whiskeystrike"]

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] That's because consoles appeal to the lowest common denominator of prospective consumers looking to purchasing gaming equipment. hurr durrDroidPhysX

No, they appeal to everyone.

Fantastic thread. Every single point is irrefutable

lol :D

You again. How's it going, cow?

Real reason.

It's expensive and a big time investment. Also less social, but hey, pc gamers don't have freinds.

You're right. System requirements are just a hassle to read... When I have to read them, I just throw my arms up and say "What do I look like some kind of reading nerd?!". And don't even get me started on putting new hardware in my PC.... What do I look like some sort of mechanic?! Give me a magic machine that I can stick a disk in to run my games. Anything else just completely ruins my whole life.

Sometimes I just eat raw Ramen noodles, because a microwave is too confusing.  I do not possess an engineering degree nor am I mechanically inclined.

can we just change the name from "system wars" to "boredom wars" ?

Why would he lie to you when he obviously doesn't believe that crap? :?

Are you saying you'd have easier time believing I'm an elitist trying to hide behind some mask of neutrality, than believing I don't consider myself superior to other people over a gaming platform, an entertainment device?

Honestly, what option above sounds more sensible to you, a delusion of Internet grandeur, or the simple enjoyment of a gaming platform that caters to your tastes?

There is also

1) which is not as big of a problem the TC is making it out to be, and is making it way on to consoles. (Some PS3 and 360 games need to install so you need to know how much space you have left).

2) Pretty much opinion, and the PC can also use a 360 wireless or wired controller as well as a ton of other types.

3) Big budget=/= polished.

4) Not true, and getting a HD TV to play on consoles can be pricey too.

Never read any myself... waste of time, my PC would always run whatever I threw at it, at least on medium settings.

This list is outdated. The biggest budget game ever is Star Wars: The Old Republic a PC exlcusive. Also, there are multiple PC games on that list.

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"] I never said consolites couldn't manage dealing with requirements and upgrading hardware, I said we don't see the benefits wading time on it when the time could be better spent elsewhere. Not sure what's so hard to understand about that.Miketheman83

Except consoles have started having their own "complications" like mandatory installs and updates
