[QUOTE="tirralirra"] right, thats my mission now. your post clearly suggests that you think PC gaming is better, but you wont say. hmmm, how can i go about this i'll go for your avatar, you surely cannot admit that you'd play TF2 on a console over a pc...let alone the halflife series itself.washd123

no i can not. i am a pc gamer my bias is fairly. clear. in my personal belief pc gaming is better. expect thats pc gaming as in gaming on the pc not the pc gaming experience. ive already outlined the differences between the experiences. as far as the core console and core pc experience goes, i prefer the pc but i will not say its the better of the two. if that makes any sense.

Pretty much the same goes for me, except with the PS3. Quality does not mean a thing if the quality games that are being made have little to no interest to me. I don't feel the need to do my gaming on a PC, and I will probably always feel that way

Pc=Options,Consoles=No Options, simple as that really. Continuing on now, people who wine about not using their controller on Pc are oblivious, as too the ones who dont even try hooking up a Pc to a HDTV, and those are their only arguements. And with every new windows its getting more noob friendly that even a 5 year old can run and operate it. So they cant use that defense anymore. Now rescently a buddy of mine bought MW2 for Pc, and ended up going back to CoD 4, then had the bright idea to buy MW2 for his xbox 360 and right off the bat he seen the quality differences and how blurry and graphics looked on the console with his HDTV vs the Pc version which they didnt put a whole lot of time into to begin with on pc version.

see for you its games for me its the experience, theres plenty of console games that draw my attention but its simply not worth it for me to be a console gamer. it wasnt worth it when i bought my pc to sacrifice the experience.

but like i said the experiences are different not better. i do believe that the pc is the best option to devlop on and for. and is essentially the perfect platform since the console experience can be fully replicated on the pc yet the pc experience cant be emulated on the consoles. but thats a debate for another time

It also helps that Pc can play its backlog of games and plus console games too.

The real difference is that, out of all the fanboys, it's the PC gamers that try to tie others' platform choice to negative personal traits. Often, I hear:

  • Console gamers are too poor to buy a PC
  • Console gamers lack the technical knowledge to use a PC
  • Console gamers lack the attention span to appreciate the depth of games on PC
  • Console gamers stay with consoles because they've never tried a PC game

And when you provide a counterexample of a console gamer with the money, know-how, and a history of PC gaming, the backpedaling begins:

  • You are an exception
  • You have a gaming PC, so we're not talking about you

and my personal favorite:

  • You must be lying

Now, you'll see some of this from the Wii fanatics, usually along the lines of "you're not mature enough to appreciate games without gore and cursing", and the PS3 fans used to pull the "you must be poor" bit, but by and large, the conceit that one's choice of gaming platform marks them as a superior person and others as inferior comes from PC fans.

The main source of hatred is the arrogance some PC gamers develop. I'd guess they develop this arrogance because they are totally free to do whatever they want with their system/games, to get top of the line hardware and whatever. Going back to a console feels like a gimped experience just because you are told what to do with something that YOU have purchased with your own cash. However, the arrogance is misplaced as both type of system has their own advantages. If I was an arrogant PC gamer, I'd rather boast about compelling, deep, rich and well written games that are mainly found on PC than more impressive hardware. Some people might say that 'true' PC games are dying, and every game is turning into Modern Warfare, but they aren't dying. Look at eastern Europe. Cryostasis has better writing in it than some novels I have read. And it's a linear FPS.

I don't have hate for PC gamers, but I imagine for those who do, that it's largely due to the extreme arrogance displayed by PC gamers.

TheAxeMurderer
Funny a console fanboy screams graphics king! or things like Uncharted 2 looks better than Crysis, and PC gamers are called arrogant for proving them wrong.

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="2_Quiet_2_Riot"]

I don't care for PC gaming simply because I've been a console gamer since 1982.

PC games are cool, but I know damn well I'll never get to play them (unless i buy a new PC), simply because I don't care enough, nor have the motivation to set up my PC by gaming standards. IMHO, it's a waste of time and compeletly tedious. Why bother with the hassle? I want to sit behind my 46-inch HDTV set play my games right out of the box.

PC gaming elites can spin and sputter or show off their fancy specs, good for them, more power to you, but in all honesty, I don't really care.

And I don't care how a game like Crysis looks on their 1080p 26-inch flat screen either. I know damn well I'll enjoy MW2 or KZ2 on my bigger screen much much more :)

2_Quiet_2_Riot

You just said PC gamers are elitist for showing off their specs then you go ahead and say that you'll enjoy your game on a bigger screen? Isn't this like the pot calling the kettle black?

No, All I'm saying is I PREFER a bigger screen than a smaller screen when I play my games.

And if you try READING some of the posts here, if it's any indication to you, MOST (not all) PC gamers areelitists or at least claim to be. And again, it doesn't really bother me. They can have a super computer that plays up-to-date PC games and at the same time can teleport anyone to dimension Z, I still could care less. But more power to them.

Well I'll enjoy Crysis more running on my PC which has Quad core and a 5870, while hooked up to my 50inch pioneer ELITE kuro, which is attached to my 7.1 pioneer ELITE receiver...and I still wonder why people call me an elitist :P:P:P:P:P Anyways...:P

Yeah us PC gamers and our annoying facts, how dare we speak the truth instead of letting people make up whatever they want about PC.

Well, I think it's just a mixture of a lot of things. I think the reason a lot of the elitism comes about is because nobody wants to include the PC as a system against the consoles. Why? Maybe it's because everyone already knows that many of the PC titles have better graphics, performance, and a long list of other advantages to consoles. Nobody really attempts to argue against that because it's true. So when someone says a console game is the best of something, it's well known that nobody is talking about the PC. Yet you're still going to have someone mention that it's not up to the standards of PC gaming.

Because its an irrelevant platform, some people do play crysis on super SLI rigs other are fine with mmos on net tops. Other people are using windows only to play emus. There is no way you can put this all together.

Hypocrite much? You call PC gamers elitist, yet you're bashing another system yourself. The most popular one, actually. But yeah, I guess the Xbox 360 or whatever console you play your games on rules.

LOL 360 can't do true 1080p. Get it through your thick consolite head already...

umm...yes it can.

FIFA street 3 - 1920 x 1080 w/ 4xAA

NBA Street Home Court - 1920 x 1080 w/ 4xAA

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - 1920 x 1080 no AA

Virtua Tennis 3 - 1920 x 1080 w/ 2xAA

XBLA

Boogie Bunnies - 1920 x 1080 w/ 4xAA

Wolf of the Battlefield Commando 3 1920 x 1080

Feeding Frenzy 2 1920 x 1080

Portal 1920 x 1080

that's 8 games. here's a list of resolutions for many of the 360's games. most of them are native 720p with 4xAA.

beyond 3d

and a small list

btw, those lists haven't been updated in nearly two years so there bound to be more native 1080p games on the 360.

Its all preference. In my opinion all of it is great. consoles are care free and are more backed up by companies. PCs Are more customizable and you get a better experience, but it has less exclusives

LOL 360 can't do true 1080p. Get it through your thick consolite head already...

rockzo

umm...yes it can.

FIFA street 3 - 1920 x 1080 w/ 4xAA

NBA Street Home Court - 1920 x 1080 w/ 4xAA

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - 1920 x 1080 no AA

Virtua Tennis 3 - 1920 x 1080 w/ 2xAA

XBLA

Boogie Bunnies - 1920 x 1080 w/ 4xAA

Wolf of the Battlefield Commando 3 1920 x 1080

Feeding Frenzy 2 1920 x 1080

Portal 1920 x 1080

that's 8 games. here's a list of resolutions for many of the 360's games. most of them are native 720p with 4xAA.

beyond 3d

and a small list

btw, those lists haven't been updated in nearly two years so there bound to be more native 1080p games on the 360.

Wow... All those games you listed sound terrible. And I've never seen a 360 game with True AAx4 either...

well it might help if you actually use a 360 rather than fanboyishly bashing it.
