I'll be honest I hate myself a little for posting in these threads as I do not view them or post in them and love watching them sink like lead but you're not helping. You really aren't.

Not until we've purged the planet of the interlopers!

OH NO! NOT UNTIL JUSTICE.

Congrats, you just drew more attention to the PC/Console derp.

You could have minimized the damage of your rant by posting it in an existing thread, you know. But nope! This CLEARLY needed its own thread.

Also, I don't believe that you couldn't "hold it in" any longer, seeing how immensely common and not-ranty your "rant" was.

But the thing is PC gaming is several steps above console gaming. It's just an absolute fact. There is no advantage to consoles apart from occasional exclusives and initial cost. Console users feel the need to defend their incorrect choice of platform because of ignorant misunderstandings that they have about the PC as a gaming platform. PC gamers have the need to try and educate and show console users the errors in their reasoning. It's a natural occurrence in our society that should not be restricted.

PC VS Console threads are as delightful as Brony VS Hater threads, just add popcorn and enjoy the show!
Yes! I wonder why these people wish to deny us these small dialectic pleasures.
Do they have some compulsive disorder to click on all versus threads when they don't want to read them? Else it's just plain resentfulness, as many people just love these discussions.

Why can't we just enjoy both :c
PCs I prefer shooters on Consoles I prefer platformers and exclusives on, it's a shame people will always argue over little things like this though.

Exactly, I hate how people whine about these threads and then make a thread asking to stop with the threads, thus continuing the cycle.

Personally, I love Versus threads, they can get ugly...and when they do...It is simply...marvelous! Nothing puts a smile to my face quite like a MLP fans VS Haters or PC Vs Consoles thread! I hate how they have been very tame lately. I also hate how they get locked, mods spoil our fun...

[sub]...don't hurt me mods...[/sub]
I don't hate anti-versus threads. I think these threads can add more fuel to a versus discusion.
Sure the topic starter may WISH to take it away from us, but the effect is the exact opposite. I read the OP with wonder.

When threads get too ugly I'm happy to just observe. I love discussions best when there's a poster who genuinely cares about the subject, to oppose me with clever arguments. Heated but not too uncivil.

Actually I just want better games, deeper depth and less shallowness.

It would be nice if more things were ported to the PC but whatever, just make games for gamers(not zombies) again plz.

Yes, but we can't seem to discuss it without getting genuinely hurtful.

And I know it's not going to stop anyone, but honestly, I literally just couldn't hold this rant in any longer. It's been a long time coming, and I can't take it any more.
I would love to see the end of these conversations too. There seems to be a handful of people who don't understand that I see PCs at tools and not a gaming platform. I have no interest in PC gaming myself. Never have, never will. They seem especially hurtful when I tell them that I've been using computers since the early 80s without even once considering playing games on them.

Also, I think people take these debates way too personally. To some people, when you say "I have no interest in PC gaming," they read it like, "why are you calling me stupid for liking PC gaming?" Or console gaming, or arcade, or whatever else you can think of.

You could not click on those threads?

Problem solved. You're welcome.
oh come on, atleast come up with a reasonable solution / sarcasm

yh basicially what this guy said, its like the same thing with the Skyrim threads and ME3 threads, if you didnt want to read them, dont click on them it isnt rocket science
You don't know how these fuckers work, do you? They don't just ruin PC versus console threads. They will come up with any goddamn excuse to hurl insults at the opposite party.

well i hope you see the irony of your thread.
you just fulled the fire once more with your attempt to extinguish it.

I repeat. I could not hold in this rant any longer. I know it won't help. I know that this'll add fuel to the fire, but goddammit, haven't you ever had one of those times where you couldn't just shut up any longer? Where you felt something had to said.

Really? I'm being critiqued on how ranty my rant is now?

I made a new thread in the hope that the sheer stupidity might just get through to some people, or at least we'd have people actually discussing it instead of just insulting everyone who doesn't agree with them.

Though I'll give you one thing. This isn't helping me calm down. I expected a load of elitists to come in here and call me a moron for playing consoles, I didn't expect a load of people to call me a moron for simply mentioning the issue. That took me by surprise, I'll admit, good job. Get used to pointless rants, because I'm going to be stuck in a murderous rage for a good few days now.

Ban people from talking about a topic? Thats what the Nazi's did.
Should I even give a response to you? Really? Look. The nazis hid stuff to protect their agenda. I'm just fed up of people being hateful to others because of what platform they play games on.

I'm fucking sick of this. Just...Fuck it all. Fuck your goddamn platform wars, fuck this thread, fuck being flamed for pointing something out, just fuck this whole goddamn thing.

the more fanatical of either sides will never, ever stop.
So... you want people to stop doing what you've said they will never ever stop doing? That's very ambitious.

I've got my own solution to this problem, I ignore it. People who are that petty about something so trivial aren't worth acknowledgement.

No I have felt the need to make a topic about a subject when I know it will only make it worse. I've been on this site for over 4 years and seen so many topics that people in my opinion were spouting so much shit about like the MW 2 boycott and JRPGs in general but not once I have or will I make a thread about it when I know it won't help stop the problem or will not create healthy discussion.

Can't. Overpopulating the planet. Must kill a few first.

*Cocks shotgun*

Join me?
Honestly? Can't be bothered.

It'd be like trying to kill an earthquake or a flood.

It's much less effort and generally much more efficient to just assume stupidity and prepare for the consequences than attempt to employ countermeasures.

Besides, people as a whole haven't really gotten more or less intelligent over the last 1000 years, they just have more means to express their dumbness with.

Just think: This time 300 years ago, literate people were the minority. I can't even relate to that.
You should ask Billy from Adventuretime for help. He once defeated an evil ocean.

See, now im sad because you took me seriously. You seem jaded as fuck man, you should take a break. You're taking this whole thing way too seriously. If you're sick of people flaming you and being asshole, just abandon the thread. Some people might judge you, but its just randoms on the internet, so their opinion doesn't really matter.
If you're sick of people arguing about console vs PC, tough. You can grow up and ignore it like the rest of us. People can talk about and start threads about whatever they want. If someone tries to bring that shit into another thread, ignore and report.

Also, the guy who said "derp" is an asshole. Just so you know.
