Thoughts on the PC gamer "master race"

Just wanted to point out that all of your arguments are subjective, when most of the pro PC arguments are objective. Actual evidence is given i.e superior hardware, and control speed/accuracy (And yes, it's been proven mouse is more accurate. You have to concede to the fact that it's your opinion, and the opinion is not what they have a problem with.

Also calling people elitists and pathetic doesn't elevate you above them.

I just laugh at people who say PC gaming has "more games". Yeah, of the shovelware variety. Of games that are worth two craps? Consoles have them beat at a rate near two to one. And before you start? Hows that PC version of Mortal Kombat turning out? Or what about Marvel Vs. Capcom 3? Red Dead Redemption? LA Noire?

Hmm, Battlefield, a traditionally PC exclusive franchises is on Ps3 and 360 as well. I mean fuck it, Diablo III is heading to consoles. How fucking self delusional do you have to be to lie to yourselves about "more games"?

What about the best rpgs ? Barley any of them are on consoles. That's why i got a pc for gaming.

What PC exclusive RPGS? Witcher 2, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, Deus Ex Human Revolution, these games are all on consoles to a one. Name one RPG worth a damn thats not on consoles. On the other hand, the good JRPGs never touch the PC with a 20 foot pole. Half the RPG genre doesn't even touch the PC.

He's wrong in assuming that there are a lot of RPGs exclusive to PC. However, I've got a question for you, regarding a certain RPG. Did you ever play Oblivion? If so, was it on a console? Because PCs had full mod support for that game, you were able to customize damn near everything to how you wanted it, could you do that with your shitbox360 and it's colorful buttons? Yeah, didn't think so.

Same thing will apply to Skyrim, as Bethesda has always provided mod support for it's titles. Good fucking game. You lose.

When are the mods going to lock this junk thread?

Here's the best part though. We get essentially free games, why? Because PC players, playing games like counter strike, or mount and blade, or really any major PC release have one thing you people don't. Modding. You get fed DLC and Map Packs like the mindless cattle that you are, meanwhile PC players are perfectly free to design their own maps and game modes, to the point where a mod may not even faintly resemble the game used to build it. In essence, a new and free game.

You sir are an idiot, along with the rest of these idiots defending inferior hardware. Oh, and one final note, lets assume for a moment, you are correct in assuming that there are more console games than there are for PC (which you arent, but lets go with it). You do know why that would be right? Because there's more of you, little cretins unable to create your own machine, because you are too technically incompetent, so game developers know that if they shovel games to the unthinking console masses, AKA, you. Then they will get more sales, because people are lazy and would rather go buy a box and plug it into their TV, than make a powerful gaming platform.

In short, you people exist because of convenience, nothing more.

Welp, that was painful to read.

My i5 2500k with gtx 560ti barely runs games on high now those two parts alone are over 400bucks much less a PSU, MB, ram, HD and OS. Sure you could skimp out and get a lesser gfx card cheap mb, and amd processor but then your hardly going to be running anything in hd with high settings. much less be set for a few years. Just curious what build in the under 600 dollar range is going to run BF 3 or Metro 2033 on anything higher than midrange.

I managed to throw together a GTX550 ti/i5-2300/8BG DDR3 for a little under 700 in a few minutes on newegg (not counting a monitor). That set-up should run Metro very confidently and probably run BF3 pretty nicely as well. You could probably go down to a real beefy core 2 duo or i3 and a 400 series and be totally fine for Metro (and MAYBE BF3), and save even more if you shopped carefully and looked for deals.

I personally prefer AMD, and would have used it if you didn't subtly challenge otherwise. A comparable rig would probably be even cheaper with AMD instead.

I've played MAG, and the one thing that annoys me on every console game, not just MAG, is how the resolution is so low to make up for lack or processing power that everything looks fuzzy. Though keep in mind some console games are better than others.

No, not really.

It's mostly the elitism.

Oh, well then good thing the elitism is justified. Now go back to mashing buttons on your plastic box powered primarily by 5 year old hardware, duct tape, gum, and copious amounts of steaming shit.

I couldn't care less about mod support

You'd care if Chuck Norris and He-man were in it.

Yeah, so, 'PC master race' is extremely satirical.
Why do people take it so cereal?

Because PC gamers are so desperate for any sort of validation, they will go after a joke mocking their pretentiousness and then treat it as if its the gospel truth.

You realize that in this very thread there are a bunch of PC gamers that dismissed the notion as silly? Every platform has it's fanboys. Playstation had folks who crowed over the ring of death, Xbox had people who crowed over PSN. There is a similar group in the PC crowd, but grouping everyone together with the doofs is just childish.

Besides if you are a console gamer, there is a good chance you own a PC. If you are a PC gamer, there is a good chance you own a console. The lines are way to blurry for any insulting generalization to have any merit outside of satire.

Is that what all that stuff is on my 360. Guess I never really noticed.

Well you are a console gamer, so I wouldn't expect you to know the difference between a processor and a brick. You get a pass on that one, seeing as you can't be expected to know what it is you're actually using.

Sorry, I never noticed. Must've been all the fun I was having playing video games on a console.
