This is not meant to be offensive but I am curious... What are your thoughts on "console dedicated fans" (if you are not one)?

For those who don't know... Simply put, a console really devoted fan is a gamer who is extremely attached to one specific console and will only play on that one gaming console only. These tend to be the gamers whom do get into the whole Sony VS Microsoft fights or does the whole "PC is Master Race" ordeal... (Please note this thread is about thoughts on gamers whom are like this; not for those whom are like this to get into debates about their favorite console of choice).

As for my own thoughts... I don't mind what you prefer but don't got bat-crazy on me when I mention that I have another console or something like that. Seriously, this is a problem I've bumped into at times. (Mostly with other PC gamers). They will go bat-crazy on me for having a X360 and say things like "What's so good about consoles, huh?" ; "Oh, you're a console player? So that means you svck at this?" and other things... (And for the record, I've played games on PC for the same amount of time I've played games on console; this is tracking back to the old PS1 days btw)... Seriously, that kind of stuff annoys me. And I know NOT every "really devoted fan" is like that so I have no dislike for them in general... Just for those who bother me with this kind of crap.

Anyways. What about you? What are your thoughts? Experiences? Or are you a really devoted fan? If so, for what console? And are you respective of other players' choices?

~Edit~

Okay. What is that word even censored? It's not offensive at all (or at least I don't use it for offensive reasons)... Can a moderator answer this for me?

there is an ultra-small, very vocal minority of [censored]s for everything

Because the overall maturity level of the entire board (not the CD in particular) is that of a stereotypical 15 year old boy according to the admins, so we can't use words with maturity.

Well... I know that. I mean, I'm a fan + boy of a few things myself but I'm not one whom go bat-crazy on other people about things.

The forum is full of censorship. Beth is afraid to let us talk about big boy stuff, so is it really surprising that word is censored?

The small minority tends to be the loudest. I stay away from the "Console VS Console" fights, I personally find them immature, if someone likes something there is no reason to shove it down other peoples throats, it should be common sense to respect another person's opinions and choices.

Personally, I'm not going to spend my time and energy over idiotic things such as console wars, it just feels redundant as an advlt.

I also play on what ever console, PC, handheld.

There is also a small proportion of people who will try to make themselves "bigger" in their own minds by stomping on the heads of others and they will use any means or topic / discussion to do so, which is most likely an insecurity with them.

case of vocal minority..

I for one will play what ever console the game i want to play is on, and I really don't see one console any superior to another of the same generation

Well, i own a PS4, but i don't have money to buy the XBOX 1. Actually only to play some games like Forza 5, or even Halo.

Same here. I having nothing against Xbox and I played my 360 way more than my PS3, but this generation I went with PS4 instead. The exclusives that are already available combined with the exclusives coming in the next 6 months sold me on it.

I don't have a problem with people who play on only one console or PC exclusively, but the people who get into console war arguments are pretty pathetic. What's the point of being so devoted to a company that only really cares about your money, to the point where you make an effort to essentially shill for them for free?

You will play Xbox 360 because it is the superior gaming system! All else are obsolete you peasant!

No honestly I don't care what system people play their games on because we are all gamers and I love each and everyone of you equally, unless you're crazy. But I'm not a fan of people that try to force their system down my throat or try to sway me on why their system is superior to mine. Really I guess that is true about everything in life with me, don't try to ram your beliefs down my throat because I wouldn't do it to you. To each their own or if you're French and you like it kinky c'est la vie.

I always thought that kind of devotion to a company was kind of silly.

One thing that always gets me, even as a someone who only plays games on PC, is when people act like consoles are the only things holding back PC's graphically. Even if consoles didn't exist, developers wouldn't push out games demanding a $1500 computer purchased that year, it would alienate some of the market not to mention the added costs of creating a graphically intensive game. Granted, there are some bad ports which can be "blamed" on consoles (I prefer to just not buy the game, but that's me), but even without them not every game would look like Crysis 2 like some people seem to think.

while i entirely agree with you, alot of the terrible PC ports recently can accurately be blamed on consoles because studios are purposely doing it for "parity" between the PC and console versions, and the studios don't deny it..

capped 30FPS, unchangeable Resolutions, less work on certain graphical features.. and the studios did come right out and say "we are doing it for parity between the PC and Console editions"

If you have a problem with the rules, you can contact Bethesda about them.

No, it's because people abuse words. If enough people have proven they are not mature enough to use a certain word in a non-derogatory manner, it will usually get censored.
And that is why that word is censored.
Your conspiracy theories have nothing to do with it.

This thread will go nowhere except Console vs PC bashing and elitism... And whining about the rules, apparently.
