Why don't console peasants admit defeat to their PC Gaming Overlords?

hermits always try so hard...who cares if you play at higher resolutions on the same game or brag bout a load of games a lot of people really probably arent intrested except a minority and the fact sometimes the bragging bout some things makes you's come of as a tad insecure.

The most power, the cheapest option or the ideology mindset of hermits on here is far from the best ideology.

Were all gamers, we play games not oh my GPU is better than you take that you pesant.Seriously hermits and cows in particular are the 2 groups on this board that really need to get their heads out their asses sometimes.

Frankly i couldnt care what they think, good games are good regardless of how they look,played or interacted with.Its a stigma on this board that everyone is so obsessed with graphics and you kinda just reinforced it.

When I see a PC gamer acting superior, I'm immediately reminded of how so many fat chicks wear shirts with things like "juicy" on them and act like they aren't fat and gross, while so many pretty girls have a low self esteem.

Clearly, it should be the other way.

[QUOTE="tjricardo089"]

  • Huge thriving online communities: On the PC you can easily find players on games that are really really old. On the consoles you can't even find online players for one year old games. pure and utter bullsh*t. i was just playing soul calibur 4 the other night, had absolutely no issue finding gamers to fight. Great now try that with game a that isn't this gen. well, most console games last gen didn't even have online, so it really doesn't matter. next gen you may have a point, we'll see.
  • More connection options: I can play with my friends via the Net or I can organize a LAN party in my place. Split-screens seem intolerable compared to this luxury. uhhh, what? i can also play people via the internet and also....splitscreen>>>>>>>>>>>>>>dragging out a bunch of rigs for a LAN party
  • Better graphics: The PC has better graphics like they always had. Someone who compares a Crysis game to a Uncharted 3/Gears of War 3 game and you'll see it. this i can't argue with, pc has better graphics. congrats.
  • More games and better games: The games on consoles are meant to be simple and exciting. The real depth in games is on the PC. all completely subjective, i couldn't care less about the vast majority of pc exclusives.
  • Moding: The PC gamers can create their own content to implement on which game they want. a cool feature, though most mods are garbage. i mean, a dragon with a mexican sombrero or trolol faces on enemies in skyrim? who gives a sh*t. Lots of people give a "sh1t"are people not allowed to have fun with games just for the laugh? Even with garbage mods there are still good oneswhich is why i said it's a cool feature, graphic mods are amazing.
  • Free play: There is a huge number of multi-player free games available online. and most of those are playable on the weakest of pcs, everyone can play it. so really, where's the ownage? Uhhh because these games aren't on consoles thats the ownage i guess, but every console gamer has these games available to them and most of them don't even take advantage of this, which is saying something. you'd think true ownage would be something the average consumer's pc (which is garbage when it comes to real gaming) couldn't handle. but whatever...
  • More online players: PC multiplayer games can hosthundreds of gamers simultaneously, there are no Massive Multiplayer console games. there are hundreds of thousand of people to game with at any given moment on consoles. so..... I'm pretty sure he's talking about games with large amounts of players in one game, AKA MMOs. this fact is meaningless. who cares? MMOs are huge on pc and not on console, that doesn't somehow make pc better.
  • Cheaper games: The games are way cheaper, even those sold on retail go to the max of 75$. Console games can go up to 100$. $100 games? never heard of it. you can also get hundreds of current gen console games for dirt cheap.

Of course, nothing else boasts superiority than having a system that plays video games better than other systems.

Probably the saddest thing about PC gamers is that some of them don't realize how sad that is :P

To me "PC" is not a gaming machine.

It is a general purpose tool.

In a sense there is no competition, because it doesn't belong here.

It's a chevy in a bicycle shop.

Driving and Biking are two different hobbies.

Gaming and Tech are two different hobbies.

And what about consolites that constantly visit graphics comparing sites like Lense of Truth? PC gamers aren't the only ones that go gaga over graphics. Fanboys, mostly lemmins, brag about how 99% of multiplats are superior on 360 and inferior on PS3, even though the difference is minimal at best. Personally, i find that even more pathetic.

By the metrics that matter to you, sure. For me, it's the same in most ways, better in one way (triple monitor) but frustratingly inconsistently so, and missing a couple of critical features (native gamepad support in every game, skillls based matchmaking) that make it a less than ideal platform. I like the tradeoffs I make gaming on consoles much better than the ones I'd make gaming on a PC.

That's not my point. Consoles continue to improve through out the life cycle. A GPU is constantly replaced and while games will look a little better on that GPU in comparsion to a console the exlusive's completely tear the value side of things. £250 is what I paid for a PS3... Granted that a modern GPU at £250(GTX 570) completely destroys any console but games aren't made for the GTX 570. 90% of games are made for consoles... so why pay £250 for a PC GPU just to get some extra AA? From a graphical point of view yes PC>Consoles always will be. Put together a PC for £250 that produces visuals as good as a console. The best bank for the buck GPU isnt a HD 6870 its a 360/PS3... why because it plays all the games out and looks good for DIRT CHEAP!

And a tiny fraction of them have a graphics card in it.

I wouldn't say PC Gamers are overlords. There is nothing wrong with console gaming. It does have certain advantages, just not that many.

The way I see it PC Gaming has the following advantages;

- More high scoring exclusives.

- More high scoring games in almost every genre.

- The best games in almost every genre.

- Superior framerates (30FPS and under eurgh for a lot of console games).

- Superior Resolution, most popular resolution according to steam - 1080p but can go even higher (1080p = 2x as many pixels as 720p)

- Superior Graphics and sound quality.

- Wider range of control systems, including the superior control system for any FPS or game that requires aiming (K&M)

- No need for autoaim/aim assist & huge hit boxes (related to the above)

- A free and competitive marketplace for games/online communities etc (Steam, Origin etc)

- Constantly advancing technology.

- A huge modding community, modding hundreds of games, adding entire campaigns/stories/characters/weapons etc etc & fixing flaws with games (Amounts too lots of free DLC/patches for hundreds of games available)

- Larger and more vibrant/mature online communities for a far larger variety of games, old and new.

- The largest single marketplace for gaming (2011 US market (most console centric market) for game sales - PC/Mac - $6.9 Billion (not including social/casual games) / Xbox+PS3+Wii+ALL handhelds (combined) - $8 Billion

------------------------------------ (maybe this will actually create a space...)

Whereas I see these advantages for the console;

- Easier to plug in and play on a couch and TV (possible with a PC but requires appropriate organisation/setup)

- More Sports games and Street fight like fighting games + Larger online communities for both of those genres.

- Cheaper (although not by as much as most people believe, if you build it yourself and buy cheap, a $150-200 PC can run games with the equivalent graphical quality of a console)

So I don't feel like console gamers have to admit defeat in general. It's just a different thing, both platforms have their advantages. It depends to what extent you value their advantages. However in regards to what I listed above I believe both sides have to admit defeat in the areas I've stipulated.

edit - I hate how gamespot doesn't respect my desire for spacing...

But like I said, your console play games a lower resolution and lower settings... So, just lower your things down on your GPU and thing will go better.

Why pay for a better GPU, just to get better eye candy? I don't know why upgrade from NES to PS3... They should of kept the NES since graphics don't matter right?

I'm not looking for best bang buck... I'm looking for the best experience. If I was looking at best band buck, I'd probably play on my mobile phone or handheld gaming.

There's plenty of games that I cannot play on specific console.

Bebi_vegeta

Well, RDR isn't exclusive, it's just not available on PC right now.

Same with dark souls.

But beyond exclusives, consoles are a different lifestyle.

ie being able to use a laptop in your office, being able to run linux as a primary system, etc

Beyond that I find console gaming to be more consistently fun.

With PC you'll either have a great time or you'll run into some technical problem that will eat up your time.

With console, the gaming experience is consistently "good."

There's never a driver problem, BSOD or anything else.

It's a more comfortable lifestyle of "get in, game, get out." With no fuss, no muss.

Not saying it's "better" than PC gaming.

Just "different" that some people value alot more than "graphics."

PC is a platform, unless you can play the BF3 PC version in your PS3?

There's plenty of high end GPU sold, and even lower end PC are getting upgraded GPU like the Liano AMD CPU.

Computer can do everything, it just depends what you want it to do.

My PC is used for study, work, gaming and entertainement... You can't do what with your console.

You know what I use my PS3 for then anything, blu ray player... so much for a gaming machine right?

It's funny, because my PS3 was constanly giving me errors when patching MSG4 and Heavy rain, had to play without them.

Even also heard of RROD from X360... similar to PS2. PS3 had the yellow light...

Console are becoming more and more like PC. At first you could install linux on a PS3, then Sony said no way.

PC is a platform, unless you can play the BF3 PC version in your PS3?

There's plenty of high end GPU sold, and even lower end PC are getting upgraded GPU like the Liano AMD CPU.

Computer can do everything, it just depends what you want it to do.

My PC is used for study, work, gaming and entertainement... You can't do what with your console.

You know what I use my PS3 for then anything, blu ray player... so much for a gaming machine right?

Bebi_vegeta

The platform is called "Windows"

The overwhelming majority of PC's in the world cannot run BF3 in any capacity.

I have no desire to use a console to "study."

I have 4 computers, 2 consoles and a smartphone.

Since you own a PS3, you should get a few exclusives and play them.

Otherwise why did you waste your money on it.

[QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"]

Well I love graphics, I won't lie... (it's like if you asking me if you prefer SDTV over HDTV) but I also like games that are fun. I bought plenty of games that graphics are dated since the NES.

His PS3 can play games that are exclusive, well PC has some exclusive aswell.

ZombieKiller7

Well, RDR isn't exclusive, it's just not available on PC right now.

Same with dark souls.

But beyond exclusives, consoles are a different lifestyle.

ie being able to use a laptop in your office, being able to run linux as a primary system, etc

Beyond that I find console gaming to be more consistently fun.

With PC you'll either have a great time or you'll run into some technical problem that will eat up your time.

With console, the gaming experience is consistently "good."

There's never a driver problem, BSOD or anything else.

It's a more comfortable lifestyle of "get in, game, get out." With no fuss, no muss.

Not saying it's "better" than PC gaming.

Just "different" that some people value alot more than "graphics."

I agree with elements of that. Console gaming is easier to plug and play to a certain extent. However these days the disparity is not really very big. For example I game on a PC. In the last 5 years;

- I have not experienced a single BSOD

- I have not experienced a single driver problem

- I have not had a single technical issue with a game.

That's including the fact that I use my PC for music production also. BSOD only really happen these days when people are trying to overclock their systems too much. Drivers are no longer an issue either really. Windows 7 does everything automatically and if you want to update your graphics drivers keenly then you can use Nvidia control panel automatic updating notification and presumably whatever ATI use these days.

As for graphics, they are kinda important. I can barely stand to play a game in 720p now I'm so used to 1080p. It looks horrible, honestly, once you are used to a superior sharpness I find it hard to lower my standards for console gaming. However that's not my main issue with graphics, because I like to play quite a few FPS games, my FPS (frames per second) rate is important to me. In fact it's important in any game that has real time combat, for me. I'm just used to a higher standard of 60FPS or around that. If I am getting lower I actually noticeably enjoy the game less. It really makes a big difference. So for me graphics are intertwined with gameplay.

Booting up my PC with my SSD, means that I can load a game incredibly fast, the loading times in the game are a couple of second only. It really improves everything. For instance I heard that on the console some of the loading times for Deus EX HR were up to 15 seconds. Whereas I never had a loading screen last longer that 1-3 seconds when I played it from my SSD.

For me the quality of experience on the PC is just so much higher in so many ways. It's hard for me to even consider using a console for anything other than sports games.

It's funny, because my PS3 was constanly giving me errors when patching MSG4 and Heavy rain, had to play without them.

Even also heard of RROD from X360... similar to PS2. PS3 had the yellow light...

Console are becoming more and more like PC. At first you could install linux on a PS3, then Sony said no way.

Bebi_vegeta

A console is just a PC with a custom operating system.

Basically an HTPC with a UI mod.

You shouldn't be having trouble patching anything.

I pop in the disk and go.

I believe if you approach it with more of an open mind, you could enjoy it and enhance your life.

Hell I still PC game.

My consoles just added to the experience.

It's not an "either or" thing.

Be more open minded, live better.

I see so little pc games i care about i cant think of a reason to upgrade my pc. I was a sucker who fell for lines like these. The grass is not greener on the other side. Its high res grass filled with bugs and drm. Steam is taking away choice fron the user. They sell you locked down software no one can sell or trade.

PC fanboys are just obnoxious.

If a platform is good it don't need a cheerleading squad.

Ppl will automatically use it.

Nobody whined at me to use a console.

It had good games so I bought one.

Best thing I ever did for myself quite frankly.

These tools won't understand.

All they care about is "saving" PC gaming.

If you have allegiance to a platform then you are automatically a dumbass.

Just play whatever feels best to you and stfu, you annoying c*nts.

I would never admit anything or give satisfaction to anyone so pathetic as to call himself an overlord. Besides, I'm not in competition with anyone. I play video games to have fun, not to satisfy my ego or to be able to tell people that I have a better video card than they do or that my rig is capable of x or y. I simply don't care. My consoles give me all the fun that I hoped they would give me when I purchased them. At least I'm happy and secure with what I have. I would hate to think that the only way I can have fun is by buying a new video card every 6 months or by making sure I always have the most powerful rig of all my friends. That sounds ridiculous to me. Besides, I challenge anyone to prove that there is some direct correlation between processing power and fun.

Your post is ridiculously oblivious to the context of this environment and fairly rude. Yet you are labelling PC "fanboys" as obnoxious. Seriously...

This is system wars, every platform has its cheerleaders. If they didn't this board would be dead.

No one is saving anything. Since 2009 Console gaming has been declining, PC gaming has been doing the opposite. It is comfortably the largest gaming market in 2011. People enjoy it and come here to have some fun debating/discussing their favourite platform. You seem to be missing the point of this board entirely. People enjoy debate/discussion, it's just for fun. You shouldn't let it get to you so much.

Again, funny, cause MAC also has games, yet both play on PC.

I have few exclusive, like killzone, final fantasy...

I got a PS3 mostly for the blu ray and for some games.

Well I have problems, and I'm not the only one since there's plenty of post about it on the Internet. If you think console are free of trouble then you're obviously biased.

I am open minded... I prefer PC, I used to play on cosole when I was kid.

  • Huge thriving online communities: On the PC you can easily find players on games that are really really old. On the consoles you can't even find online players for one year old games.
  • More connection options: I can play with my friends via the Net or I can organize a LAN party in my place. Split-screens seem intolerable compared to this luxury.
  • Better graphics: The PC has better graphics like they always had. Someone who compares a Crysis game to a Uncharted 3/Gears of War 3 game and you'll see it.
  • More games and better games: The games on consoles are meant to be simple and exciting. The real depth in games is on the PC.
  • Moding: The PC gamers can create their own content to implement on which game they want.
  • Free play: There is a huge number of multi-player free games available online.
  • More online players: PC multiplayer games can hosthundreds of gamers simultaneously, there are no Massive Multiplayer console games.
  • Cheaper games: The games are way cheaper, even those sold on retail go to the max of 75$. Console games can go up to 100$.

Cheerleading squad? That is the most hyprocrite thing I've ever heard... SONY, NINTENDO and MICROSOFT are the most cheerleading squad I've ever seen.

also gotta laugh at his points about music declining in popularity considering live music revenues have went up and a lot of sales of merchandise and CD's bought straight from the band arent factored into the whole scheme of things.

It might say on there that recorded music is slumping but its commonplace to find folks still buying CD's at gigs.

[QUOTE="ohthemanatee"]

[QUOTE="topsemag55"] Nope, PCs recover from a BSOD, consoles don't come back from RROD & YLOD.:lol:NoodleFighter

I haven't had a blue screen of death since the first iteration of windows XP

and really? that's their defense? an error that can be skipped by pressing enter or restarting the computer?

At least a PC can actually work after crashing unlike some other platform I know >.>

Neither of my 3 consoles(360,PS3,Wii) have ever "crashed". I think if the 360 "crashes" it's covered for 3yrs, while the PS3, or Wii hardly ever have that issue.
