Reasons Why Consolites Don't Care About PC Gaming

I'd just prefer to play on a system built from the ground up for games and I love Sony exclusives.No PC exclusives interest me.

When you buy so many games each gen and have a life with little time to spare all the little PC complications add up to a big hassle that the majority of gamers would rather not deal with. And that is just one of the many reasons PC gamers are in the minority.

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.

Just thinking about how many minutes I have wasted in my life time reading system requirements just makes me sick. I mean lets be honest... I have probably wasted over 5 whole minutes!

In all seriousness though, why do people think that PC gamers sit there and study system requirements? IF we even read them at all, it is usually just a quick glance. Also, upgrading to many PC gamers is something that is fun. The whole point of upgrading is that after you are done you get to "SEE THE BENEFITS", but if people who only play on consoles can't see the benefits of upgrading then I can understand why it is so confusing.

Funny that you equate DLC to cosmetic changes.Miketheman83

I was just giving an example. Putting your logic into practice, noticed how flawed it sounds ?

Alright, so we got:

1. I hate using my brain.

2. I'm clumsy and lack dexterity

3. I'm a mainstream media junkie, I probably watch American Idol and bad mainstream movies along with my mainstream games.

4. I'm poor.

5. I'm lazy on top of all that.

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?

Damn, that's really a sweeping generalization, but well, if your experience with PC community was really so terrible, guess no way to change that mindset...

Also, a fun fact for you:

I find games like Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies and Temple Run 1&2 rather fun when I'm very bored, or when I'm in some waiting room or such!

Let's see if someone here has a problem with that! :P

This sounds about right.

How come when console fanboys make threads its acceptable. But when PC gamers make threads (and there is far less PC threads in this forum, since its conception), we get called elitists, gfx-whores, and system-sellers? Whats ironic is there are more hadrware, gfx, and sales based threads from console gamers.

The threads are the same for every faction, please stop this double standard.

I haven't checked system reqs since the early aughts. If you don't want to play with mouse and keyboard then use a controller, wheel, HOTAS or whatever. If you want to sit in your couch and look at your TV then hook your PC up to your TV.

Price, accessibility and available games are factors though. You know, make your own choice. Who cares.

I play almost exclusively on PC these days since 99% of console games are multiplatform. Care more for games only available on PC for that matter. Chivalry, FTL, Antichamber, Kentucky Route Zero etc.

Not even gonna talk about how core ( as Lowe0 puts it ) 360,Ps3 gamers feel about the wii. Talk about superiority feeling Also Lowe if you think that we feel superior because we address miss-consumption's about pc gaming such as how complicated it is or that most of its games are RTS you are way wrong my friend way wrong. Oh and i also spend some of my time playing mobile games ( jetpack joyride and beach buggy blitz nowdays ) adamosmaki

That's a good point, actually. Here on SW, the Wii is very much shuned by consolites. Many don't consider it a valid competitor only because it lacks "teh HD", their "next gen" feature I've been using for years before 360 and the PS3 hit the market...

In recent sales threads where the PS3 allegedly overtook the 360, saw plenty of cows saying how their PS3 is now in the first place because Wii is actually a 6th gen console, which obviously makes no sense, console generations aren't defined by hardware power...

Sorry but I have probably spent close to around $2000 the last 6 years or so and haven't had to check a system requirement once before purchasing a game.  If you consider that a sh1itload of money you really need to look at your employment opportunities.  I know people who have spent more on their golf clubs than I have playing on PC.

You haven't mentioned Hotline Miami there. That's a big problem! :evil:

Also, how is Antichamber?

Not a big puzzle fan, but I enjoyed Portal a lot. Is it similiar to Portal?

I think your forgetting how terribad console versions of multiplats are. Not to mention there is NO competitive community on consoles (atleast in comparison)

Wii is universally shunned because it's a gimmick.

Stick waggling isn't gaming (unless you're playing Heavy Rain.)

Put it this way, motion control and tablets are the Facebook gaming of consoles.

And after I say this, watch the PS4 come out with some tablet schit to be "innovative."

He's just butthurt the "gimmick" put the HD twins in 3rd and 4th place.  Which I can understand.  Must be frustrating to lose to a glorified gamecube!

In the day of modern technology and innovation, a seamless and smooth experience is integral to entertainment.

Gaming PCs are an inherently archaic concept today. Though I'm sure consoles are soon to follow

System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games. Not many people survive System Wars. The mightiest system warriors back up their arguments with facts.

I wish I could give you guys the benefit of the doubt, I really do.

I tried to play PC games but when I was installing it asked me to push the any key to continue. I spent hours looking for the any key but finally gave up and went back to playing consoles. PC gaming is a waste of time.

Even a botched port like Dark Souls on the PC outmatches the console versions. Unlike the console versions, its capable of maintaining a stable 30 FPS (Blightown!), and it also came with additional content for free, as it was included in the game. Not to mention the modding capabilities which made a big difference!
