Because most Hermits brag about how great PC gaming is eventhough 99% have low spec computers

I'm one of the few that does have a great gaming PC

wis3boi

"Low spec" computers these days can run most pc games on high, dont see much of an issue here. The gif is funny though.

Comments on every PC article, almost any article based on Bethesda games or ID games, and system wars itself well debate otherwise. PLENTY of console gamers saying they game on consoles because they can't afford PCs or because they are uneducated about the real cost. Just because it isn't true with you doesn't mean it isn't true with others.

You can't say it for everyone.

All you can do is theory craft no?

Just like us.

MrGeezer

And your just about as informative yet give that little attitude.

Your no better.

Your still just theory crafting.

Ya know...some of us have these things called jobs and this ability called budgeting...ever heard of it?

Thanks to that i have a nice rig and i play on a 40 inch HDTV. Though sometimes i switch to my monitor so that my gf who also has a job  and loves games can play on the ps3.

Some of us love playing on the edge of what a game can be. Don't you ever wish some of your favorite games could be more? Skyrim possibly being an example?

Agreed with him here. Since i am very responsible when it comes to my gaming hobbies my gf has no issue with my spending.

Props to the Dreamcast there though.

right now I'm just looking foward to pokemon XY and link 2. This gen is going to be epic for nintendo (for the handheld at least)

Oh crap forgot about that. Buying a 3DS just for pokemon. Going to get back into the competitive scene making money off the kids in tournaments. Just kidding though its mostly 20 year olds at the tournaments. Any kids get stomped pretty bad.

I always find it funny as hell when people say that can't afford a PC.

Save 100 dollars a month for a year.

You can now afford a pretty decent custom rig that will last you quite a while and run everything on ultra. Now you can juust upgrade over time.

Or just get approved for a Best Buy card. 1000 limit for no credit. 18 months to pay off the first big purchase. Just by a nice tower off their site and work off that over the year.

That's if you order all the components and build it yourself. Plenty of people don't want to be bothered with all of that.

Actually a lot of purchase sites(Newegg) wil let you choose parts and give an esitmate and they can set up the tower for you. Or ya just buy a presetup one.

I mean, I love playing my games on a 120hz 1440p IPS monitor and wouldn't have it any other way. Yet enjoying an experience of this calibur makes their blood boil. Explain it to me.

Does the fact i am a PC gamer and my gf is a console gamer break the rule ?

[QUOTE="WolfGrey"]

 

Well thats great and all but it kinda beats the point of the toopic and the question asked.

We already understand those people, its the other people we are talking about.

Funny enough i am a bagger at Sprouts Farmer Market. If me , a guy who only gets paid 8.00 an hour , can afford a rig almost anyone with a brain and some money management skills certainly can. Just stating this thought it has nothing to do with anything you said lol

I'm a console fan, I occasionally play on PC but far less than consoles. I don't think money is the issue for any gamer old enough to have his/her own job. For me, while I don't "hate" on PC gamers/gaming, I guess I just grew up with consoles and never felt a need to not have that platform be my primary source of gaming. I have a few friends with truly boss rigs but I dunno, never felt the need to build one. To me there's just something synonymous about controller + console + tv = gaming. Even have a fairly decent collection I've assembled over the past 17 years.

 

As for the hate you speak of, not sure really, maybe because it's system wars?

Spartan070

Most likely because system wars rage ya.

If it wasn't for consoles being off limits to me often(have a sister) when i was a kid, i would probably be the same as you. But whenever my little sister was aon a console hogging the TV, i simply got on the PC and started playing whatever. My parents didn't care if i played mature rated games as a little kid because even then i understood it was fiction. Not a hard concept.

Thanks to that i got majorly into PC gaming. I still pick up consoles for exclusives and i love couch co-op with a friend or my girlfriend.

Hell i am playing through Borderlands 2 with my gf atm each night when i get home from work.

I'm seriously looking at a Gaming Rig as it will work on out in a year or 2 after purchasing it a whole lot cheaper than a PS4 and One. Cheaper Games, Higher quality exclusives, No Fee's for online... It all builds up in the end.

Sadly we have no Best Buy in the UK to my knowledge.

I am sure some electronics store has a credit card you can sign up for. Easy to pay off, builds up your credit(even if you have none you can get approved) , and its something you can actually use.

That said, you could always save up to like say 600 dollars, buy a simple tower and buy parts as you go. By the the time a year has passed, you will have a great rig.

I'd like to point out...while there are some people who don't game on PC because they can't afford a good PC, there are also plenty of gamers who simply DON'T CARE. Can they afford it? Yes. Do they want to buy it? Hell no. It's the exact same reason why many people take pictures with $hitty cell phones even though they most certainly CAN afford a decent camera. It's the exact same reason why people listen to music with $hitty $10 earbuds even though they most certainly can afford some high quality headphones. Being affordable ain't even the whole issue. More to the point is, "yes, I can afford this, but is this something I care about? Kind of, but not really. This $hit is all dumb as hell anyway, so I'm just gonna go with the cheaper and/or easier alternative."MrGeezer
