Why all the console hate?!

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 9:31 am

There's pretty much a ridiculous level of negativity towards everything in the game industry. The "either something svcks or it's quite possibly the greatest thing ever" black and white mindset seems to dominate.

I dont understand the hate that is being pointed towards console gamers by the PC gamers, (I know not every PC gamer is mad at console gammers as some people seem to believe but there is a decent amount). Still the thing I see more than the graphics issue (and about the graphics, it is a nice touch to the game and might make it special in some ways but come on if the sun does not create a perfect shadow of a palm tree will that ruin the game?) but I see a lot of people mad at crytek and console gammers for some reason about the demo issue, my stance on this is we will all get the full game soon, why complain that you don't get the *PRIVILEGE* of having the demo before the game comes out.

I couldn't care less about console gamers.
They had their games and we (pc gamers) had ours.
Crysis WAS our game.
We were waiting for an improvement in Crysis 2.
So, our being mad at Crytek goes way beyond the "demo issue".

The only right thing you guys should be pissed at is the PR.

There has been NO Screenshots of the PC version, only live footage of the PC which is probably on Medium settings.

The PR for this game is horrible. Besides that the game looks like a hidden gem waiting for people to play. Tuesday will be the day.

Kinect is coming to the PC? Well guess who is putting it on there? Oh! MICROSOFT!!


I thought it was the PC hardware manufacturers like ASUS? How did MS get in here?

*on topic...
Example: 6 v 6 in MP? Why is that EXACTLY? IMO its a mixture of console limitations running on an engine thats NOT really optimized for consoles? ALREADY there are reports of lag on that doorstopper console called xbox? IF this Demo was Beta I'd say yes but it's still beta and they are tweaking, BUT they labelled it a demo, in other words its in RC (release candidate) state already? That means that consoles are holding back PC because PC can do way more than 12 players on a server and u wonder why there's hate from the pc side?

*Fanboy flaming*
Kid, you are quite wrong in so many ways it is saddening and you do give all PC players a bad name too :(
The consoles can handle at least 32 players (360) or 256 (256) and probably more if the developer wanted to. Cutting it to 6 vs 6 is just low, and got nothing to do with consoles.
More like the ever-present lag due to some kind of bad P2P-style playing (no servers) and people abusing the network. Sinvce most gamers on the PC side got such bad computers, they got to lower teh graphics in order to make teh game sell, and the online-requirements too because people got so bad internet connection. :(

Pc exclusive = bad graphics, these days. You got WoW, Sims, Farmville, Minecraft, Star Craft 2, CS etc. All PC exclusive, all got worse graphics then any console game. Combine that with people playing with less then 1Mbit broadband, the horror.
I myself got quite a decent Pc (maxing crysis at least) and a dedicated 100/100Mbit. Still I play on my 360 since I can play with my friends, got all the exclusives, got splitscreen, and no problems/lag/driver issues/DRM etc.

OnT:
Because they're jealous and not gamers. On consoles you always get a fair fight, no one will have an advantage due to faster dpi mouse or better keybord, and there is less cheats, and some people can't play honest really.
Others just get sad because the platform they know and love (PC) got out-manned by the consoles, and the gaming companies focus less on the PC, the main problem is usually that they can't aim on consoles and get pwnd by noobs and get mad. I play on PC, and console, and love them both for their individual strengths.
On a PC I got perfect aim and wonderful graphics, and mods!
On a console I can play with my friends or my girlfriend, splitscreen or live, without any problems at all. A smooth sail, so to say.
All haters may not be kids, but they behave really immature and hence I label them jelaous kids, for that is what they are :P

"Kid, you are quite wrong in so many ways it is saddening and you do give all PC players a bad name too :("

Kid? Wow that's original.

"Because they're jealous and not gamers."
Are you on drugs?
Errm My point is that I want a game for my platform and not a doorstopper tweaked to run on my platform. Now, seeing that YOU, the all knowing brown eye knows so much please tell me how I am suppose to know that WHAT I am buying where multiplatform is involved, that I will get what I want with things like "xbox exclusive demo" Can u see where I am going with this? I'm doubtfull.

"(PC) got out-manned by the consoles"
No argument there... So many newly borns every day BUT they DO grow up eventually :P.

"On a PC I got perfect aim and wonderful graphics, and mods!"
+10

"On a console I can play with my friends or my girlfriend, splitscreen or live,"
Errrm nope the wife and daugthers play PS3. I have NO interest in consoles except for that awesome blu-ray player.

Now Grumbledock, seeing that you know so much about me and everything else... Please answer the question about 6v6 on PC if you're capable of that?

Lets face it: The casual gamers are in the focus now and the hardcoegamer- community is just not big enough to cause a change of emphasis for the gaming industry.
With the Kinect and Move and splitscreen-gamepad- shooters and all the stuff the home base for casual gamers is clearly on the consoles. While the strong high end machines and expensive controls like mouse and keyvoard mark the homebase for hardcoe gamers.
Nintendo started a movement with their WII and thats why casual games are more and more raplacing the hardcoe Shooter Esport oriented hardcoe games. Because money sets the priorities.

Don't care for Crysis 2 on consoles. I just want the PC version to not be a watered down port of console games to PC today (Black Ops, BC2)

Maybe because they get the demo first for no real or discernible reason.

Why hating consoles?

Its like the government preventing you from becoming the best you can be at what you do so as to include you with the more stupid members of society.

Thats why.
