So about consoles.. non-hardcoe players & snobbery

Post » Sat Mar 19, 2016 1:24 pm

Okay, you can stop now with the crying about "everything that PC gamers have and consoles don't" type of nonsense. With all this mumbo jumbo about mods, cheating, this, that, it's too crazy to even list further.



Yes I am referring to topics such as the one found here:


http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1596710-why-take-away-the-consoles-access-to-unlimited-resources/page-5#entry25059262



Got to love that extreme prejudice towards us PC gamers also, as if literally every PC user is modding their games to the point where everything is an oversized chicken, an anime, a pink dolphin or a my little pony?? Really, now?? REALLY??


You are narrow-minded to think that every PC user uses the console to cheat in F4. Or any BGS game? Or any game in general? You really think everybody does that? You forget that cheating kills the actual fun that a game provides?? Do you forget that games can have bugs/glitches and it is a real comfort to REPAIR a game how it is supposed to work? Did that ever occur to you, ever? Probably not else you wouldn't be spewing around this nonsense.



Which brings me to the second point, the extreme hypocrisy of some people, while I see these toxic individuals here on the forum spam about that, the same ppl are also crying how PC gamers are calling them "console peasants". Meanwhile these kids tilting over PC gamers like we murdered the entire royal family of Denmark or some crayz sh*t. Did this generation actually forget that the actual "computer" is the root of all games? Like brah they actually build games on computers ya know. They actually didn't really have any "consoles" with strong processors or anything back in the day and computer nerds playing games are the reason gaming today is a thing.



Or the fact that it is actually a thing that games nowadays are easier with various reasons for that, including because machines are more powerful, we can save much easier or whenever we want even. Computers wera tool to calculate stuff faster and it was nice to play vs a computer in itself when one was alone. But now the machines are so strong we can render basically everything nowadays, in fine quality thus budgets go to graphics too many times whereas before it was all about the gameplay. Graphics became a marketing point.



There is an entire industry (financially speaking) behind PC gaming that you cannot even compare with console.


I'm pretty sure you can get expensive pc gaming gear that costs you more than an xbox/playstation in itself and that is without actually having a very high quality pc tower included in your budget.



There are GFX cards that are high quality and range from 350 to 1,000 or some even higher, euro a piece. How does it even make sense that a console that doesn't even cost that much would be able to process at the same quality LOL?



Microsoft literally has kids and family in general as focus group with consoles.. cause it is cheaper thus it has a different targetgroup.


These kids nowadays be like "help help I'm being repressed".


Really why is this happening? You want everything thrown in your lap ROFL.




We are al supposed to be gamers, enjoying games, there is already enough crap in the world. Why do you need to introduce some snobbery into a freaking community that is supposed to be focusing on having fun.




So yeah boys n girls, stop making a total ass of yourself!




Sincerely, the internet.

Um, nice history lesson on computers.


So, who cares what people say about consoles or pc. Why let that get under your skin? This reminds me of recent debate over the survival overhaul. People have claimed that those wanting the rest/save feature changed are "cheating" if they want to save when ever. It gets funny when some individuals start claiming to win debates on an opinion based argument. I just sit back and enjoy those moments.


Making a whole, long winded rant-thread dedicated to those types is giving them too much credit imo. Witness, laugh, move along. That simple.

I'm a pc gamer and a console gamer. And on the PC I mod my games.



I think it is just jealousy that drives anyone to complain about what a PC player can do with their games. Sort of like the old story of the fox who couldn't get the graqes. "Well they are probably sour anyway." Same thing. Those people complaining, have no idea what we can really do with a console command on the PC. So since they can't have it, they assume we just use it to cheat. Not me. I use it to enhance my game and my experience playing my game.

Would have given this post credit if it didn't turn into a rant against console players. People are -----. Doesn't matter what platform you choose to game on there's always going to be ----- on all of them.


Edited because the filter didn't change some words ;)

This thread gets made at least once a week and it's always a bad idea.



Maybe it'd be a good idea for people to stop wrapping so much of their self worth in what console they play a darn video game on.

Its not what you play the game on, its the game you play.



These threads do not end well and turn into Platform Wars, like the platform really matters anymore.
