The War Amongst Players - PC vs. Console

Post » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:39 pm

Alright. Time for a rant.

I am sick and tired of the war between strictly PC players and strictly console players. Now, I'm not saying that it's like this with all of those players, just a select few. However, The exclusivity period of Dawnguard has sparked a lot controversy lately and it's making my head hurt. But even before Dawnguard was in the picture, I saw PC players insulting xbox players. I can understand that they would be upset that Skyrim was built for the consoles... the vanilla UI on the PC is horrible, in my opinion. But what makes them think that just because they own the PC version they are a better gamer than those who play on the consoles? What makes them think that they can make fun of a console player just because they can't afford a PC powerful enough to run the game? But don't get me wrong, some console exclusive players are just as bad. There is nothing that annoys me more than an obnoxious, arrogant, uninformed console player claiming that the xbox is better for Skyrim. I mean... you just have to look at the facts to understand that the PC is a better option when it comes to performance. It looks better, it sounds better, it plays better. And also, mods. Do I even have to go into that? And these console gamers that fancy themselves the better players just because they get Dawnguard early... make me sick.

So there you have it. I just wanted to get that out there. I think it's a good topic for discussion. I suppose there is a good possibility of this getting locked, but feel free to share your opinions.

Thank you for your time.

I see Paris, I see France. I see a ton of gamers fighting over gaming elephants. Or consoles and PCs if you speak normal non-insane English.

I think both sides should kiss and make up. Enjoy your game. Don't bother people on how to enjoy theirs!

Although you do make some good points, this thread will most likely be locked. I generally try to avoid this console vs PC business, as nothing good will come from it.

Alright, let me rephrase that. Should. "Should make fun of people." There is no reason you should make fun of people.

I understand. Is there a penalty for having a thread locked? Will I feel the wrath of the banhammer?

I would avoid these threads if they weren't so funny.

I just know the rules say, "Don't be a jerk." and do that. Everything is probably a case by case basis kind of thing.

If you were to get anything it would just be a warning, but I don't know. You might not even get that, as you were simply trying to defuse console hostility by saying that just because one console gets exclusitivity doesn't make it better.

Alright. That's good. A warning wouldn't really be a problem. I don't think.

Too many are a problem, but one isn't.
