How is PC the "master race"?

I don't think PC gamers are the master race. But, I do like how aspects of PC gaming can actually be beneficial and make education feel fun:

Flight sims for example.

From Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D (Flight Simulator X) Web site:

this! I learned how to fly a jet from PC gaming, I learned many aspect of military aviation from PC gaming.

I'm in meteorology. But, I also do aviation weather. I love customizing the weather engine in Flight simulator X. By playing the game, I have more appreciation for the workload a pilot has. Plus, I get a clue of how pilots see the weather conditions from their perspective. It's kind of hard to visualize when we're far below sitting on the ground.

For example, if I was under the clouds here, I would've said it's a terrible day. But, from a pilot's perspective? Nah. it's sunny overall. And, yup. I got some air time every now and then...to take photos. ;)

Edit:

I just remembered something...... A few years ago, I once had an Army soldier come up to me and say he wanted to be a helicopter pilot. I recommended FSX and buying a 3rd-party HH-60 Seahawk/Blackhawk addon. I'm not sure how much that helped. But, he got accepted into flight school late last year.

higher fidelity vehicle sims can certainly help someone preparing for the real one, take for example USAF students who are into DCS A-10C or Falcon BMS, they will be far more prepared and adept at flying the real jet than ones who never played such sims assuming both just started the study at the same time; we can even bet that the ones who are into the sim can actually skip many of the preliminary/basic lessons.

The Herms are simply being opportunistic. The consoles are starting slow (as they always do) and the dirty Herms are pouncing. They'll quiet down after E3.

Sure they get better graphics, but they don't necessarily get better games. You can't play console exclusives which are developed by the some of the best studios in the world. In terms of the medium, consoles push gameplay and storytelling, PCs push the next hardware. And with next gen consoles here, the graphical advantage is not what is used to be. Also, next gen consoles are quickly becoming the home to many indie games, so PC doesn't even have that anymore. And lastly, who wants to buy a desktop these days unless you really need to? So can we finally agree that the PC master race is no more?

Sees metacritic number of 75+ games for 2013

and is pretty much the same picture every year

Not even combined all consoles dont have the amount of good exclusives pc has

And almost all of those PC exclusives are indies, one of the reasons PC not winning any GOTY awards.

GOTY won't help you fly 737, 777, F-16 and more.

lol GOTY.

@Suppaman100: How many console exclusives have won GOTY? You keep saying "more than PC" but since GOTY usually goes to only ONE game per year... Can you please enlighten me? because last time I checked the majority of games that get GOTY are usually multiplats

And you keep talking about indies as if they are the worst of the worst :/

There is no GTAV, MGSV, Destiny on PS4/XBONE either.

Or older than 9?

That doesn't change the fact that PC exclusives almost never win. a GOTY.

And of course not all indies are bad. But it's also a fact that most indies are of lower quality. Anyways if you want to know my reasoning, read my big post at the beginning of this page http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/pc-gaming-worth-it-multiplats-only-31222873/?messageId=342337662&page=5

And your point about been indies is what ?

Also i counted at least 15 games that are not indies. Still twice as many as PS.

But keep playing the Goty card in every argument when you have no other argument ( well if you only play games occasionally say a coupe hours a month i guess its better with a console )

A real gamer...the true master race, has both if not more platforms. I have a high end PC, PS4, PS3,hacked PSP,3DS XL,Dreamcast,SegaCD,MAME Arcade cab,Atari2600,MACbook Pro 15" retina, 2 Gameboy color's including a NES collectors edition, SNES,...and enough PC parts including OS licenses to build 2 more very good PC's including 580gtx and 280gtx GPU's just collecting dust for my pure amusement. But let's face it, a large tower with multiple user interfaces to access games that requires 2 separate input peripherals (mouse/kb) just to play isn't in the same competing market segment as a unified, streamlined device that only requires 1 input from boot to shutdown. No clue why any moron would try to debate such a subject. Be a real gamer, get em all.

So PC and Console fanbois, what's this about a master race again?

Pc is the master race because it simply does everything.. Whats so hard to grasp peasants?

What are the games built on ? the master race..

What platform can emulate nintendo wii/gamecube/super/nes/Gameboy/gameboy color/Nintendo DS/ N64/ps1/ps2/psp/MAME/NEOGEO.. the list goes on and on..

What platform has the best hardware available to game on? ....the master race

What platform allows you to enhance your game threw user created mods? Cough cough what would skyrim and gta 4 be without mods on pc? a boring console game is what it would be...

What platform gives you options on how much to spend on hardware? (spend less than a console perhaps?)..The master race..

What platform is at the forefront of all technological gaming innovation? the master race... Oculus rift... New cpus, New Gpus , New Ram generations (incoming DDR4) etc etc.. Do you really think the next gen console Gpu would be even half its power today if not for PC pushing AMD and NVIDIA too keep making better GPU's every year? .. Thought so..........

What system can you get multi screen support on? the master race

What system can do all your work thats not gaming? the master race....

What system gives you the freedom to do as you please? the master race.. As much as piracy is a con... I'd say piracy is also a pro for some people.. You want to watch that latest movie but dont care to go to the cinema? We all know where you getting that movie from.. None of you cannot tell me you haven't pirated music as well. Piracy represents the freedom this platform has and no big corporation is going to tell you what you can or cannot do.

Dont even know why i bother to state the facts against dirty console peasants..

A Picture sums it up better.

PC SIMPLY DOES EVERYTHING HENCE DUBBED "MASTER RACE"

you laugh at other peoples comments, then you make an idiotic one like that...

@lunar1122:

Soo.. being able to steal intellectual properties makes you the "master race"...

No my friend that makes you dirty pirate beggars.

I'd like to think the Master Race stuff is merely continuing the satire that Yahtzee started. I'd really like to think that.

Saying PC gets no GOTY awards is nonsense and a clearly a narrow minded, un-researched argument

Take the Golden Joystick awards as an example:

(The Golden Joysticks are the second oldest gaming awards (after the Arcade Awards)

2013 GTA V (coming to PC)

2012 Skyrim - PC

2011 Portal - PC

2010 Mass effect 2 - PC

2009 Fallout 3 - PC

IGN: 5 of the last 10 GOTY are on PC

Gamespot - 4 of the last 10 GOTY are available on PC

I'm not going to argue with every hermit, just look at my big post on this page if you want to know why I go on about GOTY's and indies.

@Suppaman100: Are you proud of that post you just linked to or something? Because it's highly opinionated, misinoformed, cherry picked, and downright bias like no tmr. Please don't go into journalism

Yes, it's a rant based on their arrogance. We are the Master Race. PC is the best gaming with high res and highest FPS. Don't make topics with links to back up your topic or we'll have to tell you you're wrong over and over. You aren't the law. You don't make the rules & it's not your job to prove you are the law and rule maker by saying crap to console people who make topics about their console that is legit just because it's not what you like or completely agree with. You have your view on what is correct and legit and what makes the best gaming. Well so do others and your say isn't the dominant final word. Let people state why they believe something without having to make them feel like you're squashing how they see things all the time. You always troll around acting like you the almighty ruler over this place and tell people that make topics about something with sources and you either tell them their wrong or you make a rude comment in the topic.

It's rediculous behavior that is way too over the top.

When you reply to someone who states hardware sales numbers that are not competing with PC and you tell them they're wrong over and over that's when you are trolling for the sake of being a dick. PC doesn't compete with hardware sales of consoles. When you post to a topic making light of what someone is posting about a console with sources to back up what they are saying you're doing the same thing.

The only things you should be saying things against is when a console person claims something over PC that isn't true. Which I have never done.

Its just a dumb fanboy term that caught on.

...and then you make a whole post saying how people should act.

"When you post to a topic making light of what someone is posting about a console with sources to back up what they are saying you're doing the same thing."

Dude you really got to let that go. Take your loss and move on

Can you any pc exclusives besides minecraft, WoW, and the other obvious answers. My guess is that you don't even know what PC exclusives are and you are talking out of your butt.

Nuh Uh! Internet is srs bidness!

Looks like I made another hermit butthurt. And of course it's highly opinionated, it's my theory, opinion on PC gaming. And pls show me were I was wrong then.

Because consoles are shit..... The end?

On a different note I got my new phase cooler today

Its no different than the ramblings of idiot MS and Sony fanboys. Don't cherry pick one group of morons over the other.

I think it's moved past the point of satire personally.

There are a few that take it seriously, and they should be mocked

Doesn't have a gaming PC. Makes a theory about PC gaming anyways.

those who think that are probably the same people that think The Onion or /r/pyongyang are real

I'm not saying it's every pc gamer, but there is a strong majority of them that subscribe to the redit, superiority, bullshit aspect of all this.

r/pcmasterrace is a self proclaimed circle jerk thread. They know they are exaggerating all the facts and unfairly putting down consoles. It's just for good fun. Nobody takes the PCMasterrace seriously. Most PC gamers know that they have a superior platform but they don't go around, seriously talking to people saying "ya I'm actually a proud member of the PCmasterrace."

Anyone who is mad because PC gamers call console gamers peasants really don't understand satire...

/r/consolemasterrace is fucking hilarious

It's called the "master race" because it would be beneficial for gaming as a whole if consoles didn't exist.

Developers could focus on making games for systems with easily interchangeable hardware and didn't have to worry about the arbitrary restrictions and limitations in consoles, which costs more time, effort, and money to make games for.

Source?

you really wanna see his ass? Creepy D:

Lol, I have a gaming PC.

And to be clear, I don't hate PC gaming. I just think it's not on the same level as in the past. For example I just don't see a lot of interesting upcoming PC games and if not for indies PC gaming would be even more pathetic.

Really I don't get why you guys are so defensive, it's plain to see just browsing system wars how the masturbatory race acts in nearly every thread about a console game. Begging, and failed conversions abound.

PC gaming is fine and all, it's the only way I play my multiplats infact. I just find the master race crap laughable.

@SolidGame_basic: PC isn't even a race.

Human Race >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PC

PS4 library is more % indies than PC's.

oh lord...

thickness am confirmed

but it's true.

^ But it's bad trolling.

I'm not trolling at all. It's the truth.

We don't even have to go back far either, just look at any thread that involved Infamous second Son and the bitch fit hermits had in it.

You just explained 99% of console only related threads.

And you just proved my point.
