Why do consolites hate PCs when next gen platforms ARE PCs?

Consoles have always been computers.

[QUOTE="EvanTheGamer"]

All you have to do on a console is make an account for online and the occasional update.

Compare that with all the sh!t you have to do to get a game running on PC

LOL

See, that's exactly why a lot of PC gamers think consolites are idiots and peasants.

There are just so many people saying PC gaming is awfully expensive and it's too much trouble etc. The truth is, PC gaming has been less trouble and been cheaper for me than Xbox 360 gaming. I've got an Xbox 360 when it first launched and I didn't really enjoy it, PS2 gaming was a lot more fun and after only 1 week my 360 started freezing all the time and I had to send it back and after a few weeks I got a new one. Awesome holidays... then 3 years later, I only used my 360 to stream videos from my PC to my TV and one day it had to update, so I let it update and kept watching my videos and boom, three red rings.

I also tried PS3 but it was a disappointment too, people kept hyping it to death, telling me it had the best games and graphics and everything was perfect, well I believed it and to be honest, it's just nothing special. I remember how much fun I had with my PSX and PS2, PS3 just can't touch that and I doubt PS4 will. I could go into detail about why it didn't feel special but I doubt anyone cares anyway. :lol:

But who needs a console when you have a 6 year old computer that cost me less than my first Xbox 360, isn't anywhere as noisy, has no problems, doesn't overheat, every game looks and plays better than it did on my 360 or PS3, games are a lot cheaper, thousands of free games, RTS games, better FPS controls, better MMO's, better MOBAS, simulators, mods (really, mods are the best thing ever, you can actually change a game to make it truly perfect even if the original game might have been crap), being able to make custom maps for games (that's especially important for me since that's how I bacame a level designer) and the best of all, I can play all my old PSX, PS2 and games from dozen other consoles on my PC in 1080p thanks to emulators.  And you don't even have to re-buy the whole game, you can just use your PS2 disc.

That's why I love PC gaming, you can play you favorite console games in crazy resolutions like 1600p with AA, AF and other enhancements. You can even use a Wii remote or a kinect to play those games.

Piracy is wrong

Assuming it is piracy.

Because PCs have zero exlcusives i would care about, have zero JRPGs, cost 4x more, last 4x less and their hardware is barely used at all

Plus older PCs hold graphics back, that is why the top end PC games maxed look like a bad joke comparing to Deep Down and FF15 Agnes on PS4

2. You should read what you're quoting, maybe you wouldn't look so stupid then. I specifically said "you can just use your PS2 discs without having to re-buy all your games". Using games that I've bought with my hard earned money on a PC is NOT pirating, it's the same as using them on a PS2. Pirating is downloading games from the internet, I never said I'd do that nor did I endorse it in any way.

No! Must be piracy! I'm from the internet I know these things! Arghh

Using Dolphin is kind of a pain though, because unless you have certain DVD drives you have to have a Wii anyways to rip the game

See, that's the thing, I'm not as cheap as you are, I can actually afford a 360, a PS3 and a gaming PC, it's called "a job".

Now go ahead and re-buy all your PS2 games in the PSN Store so you can play them on your PS3 in 1080p, tool.

He resized them.

and pirtaing is not just downloading games from the net, as he said, if you can't get your PS2 BIOS yourself then you're gonna have to get it elsewhere and that is most definitely pirating, so much so in fact that places that have the ISO/ROMS for pirate purposes don't have the BIOS

They weren't resized when I first looked and it showed that you've edited your message, so I probably saw your post before that.

And yes, that's true, but the thing is, if I have legally bought my PS2 and all my games, why would I care if it's considered illegal if I just download that small file instead of ripping it from my own PS2? I mean as long as I pay for the console and games, as long as I support the developers and Sony, doesn't it matter wether I used my own BIOS or not? And I'm asking for your personal opinion, not about a judges opinion.

So something that happened to you means it happens to everyone? 

Sound issues is just ONE (01) of the freedoms you get with PC Gaming.

You always hear console gamers around here b!tching about PCs and trying to play them down saying they're doomed or dying, but then someone like Mark Rein comes along and says the PS4 is essentially a PC :? Shouldn't all you consolites hate the thought of your precious consoles becoming more like the dreaded dying platform that is PC?

Funny same thing can be said for Hermits. In the end though having a console and pc = superior race, now I'll sit back and continue to laugh at both sides bickering at each other while I enjoy playing video games.
