[QUOTE="Geddy_L"][QUOTE="DarthMaul135"][QUOTE="Odissius"] [QUOTE="-Unreal-"]Thi is a pre-ownage thread to any of those types of people I describe in my sig. ;) AdrianWerner
You are a fool to assume people who play consoles are kids.
its just a general statement..kind alike when consol peope call computer gamer, computer nerds/geeks..we arent all like that..I have meet some 19+ yearolds while playing Xbox with my friend, but most of the times its kids from 12-8 with sqeaky voices(Ive meet some of them on PC too)...lets not mess up this awesome owngae thread really..
I disagree.
There is something very discomforting about the PC fanboy. It's the level of elitisism. Console fanboys are ususually just stupid; PC fanboys actually think playing a PC makes them better than others. There is something very insecure and just plain ugly about this attitude. We are all just playing GAMES, what game you choose doesn't make you better than anyone else. If one want's to feel better about themselves, get a good education or a job that helps mankind. Don't act like playing PC games for hours on end makes us some kind of gift to humanity.
I also think you're way off on your demographics info. Most gamers are in the mid 20's. The majority of gaming is dominated by consoles. Therefore, the majority of people playing consoles are going to be older.
At least console gaming has achieved some level of coolness amongst the general population. PC nerds are still seen as, well, PC NERDS.
Gee..first you attack him for calling console gamers "kids" and then you go with PC nerds.Wrong, I did not, read the above post.
Seriously... PC fanboys feel superior because they are playing more complex games, consolke fanboys think they're superior because they aren't nerds.
If you believe that, you really are a PC nerd and a fanboy. If you can't realize both platforms have their relative strenghts and weakness, all I can say is your bias is limiting your gaming experience.
Sorry, but I find calling somebody a "nerd" far dumber and primitive than calling somebody a "kid". While they are some extreme PC fanboys, I've always found console fanboys far worse, they are more immature, more rude and far more agressive than PC fanboys. But that's propably because average PCgamer is likely to be 10 years older than console one. Seriously, you don't see PC gamers flooding Xbox, PS2 or GCN forum at Gamespot with their "PCgaming owns you" or "consoles suck". While I constantly see console trolls apearing on this forum
Right. I'll play a game of CS:S tonight and try to remember these words to comfort me while being assailed by 733t CS dewds.
I already said console fanboys tend to be more immature, but PC fanboys act more elitist. I cut more slack to someone who doesn't know any better and is immature than to one who is an elitist jerk.
You ever met a hardcore Mac fanboy and had them act superior to you because you use Wintel? Even though it's for gaming? Doesn't that type of ignorant, foolish elitism piss you off? It's the same dynamic with pc game fanboys.
