All elitists are bad, but in my experience PC elitists are the worst of them. I know them online and I know them in person. They're incredibly snide and think in a very one-dimensional way. At least for the "fanboys" for the other three, they think in more open-minded ways (albeit still pretty closed-minded). This is just my experience though, so the majority could be different.

Absolutely. Because it's not just a matter of "I think my platform is better than yours," but "I think the entire concept of console gaming is stupid, and you're stupid for liking it." They've got the biggest egos, and will always bring it up even when it's completely irrelevant. They absolutely refuse to see any of the perks of console gaming. They're the snottiest, douchiest people out there.

Sony ones are a decently-close second. I think the more powerful the platform, the crappier the people.

When you pay 3-5k bucks for a SLI Titan, customer watercooler, UHD screen, 8 cores cpu rig to play console port I guess you want to justify your purchase by bashing on the 200$ console owner who doesnt give a crap.

Games look better on pc and will always be, elistic like to make sure they let console gamers know even though they are to busy optimizing/oc'ing their rig to game....



RIP ps3, xbox360.

welcome home ps4 and X1

Consoles made gaming mainstream.

That sentence alone would either shut them up, or piss them off. lol

As someone who does most of his gaming on PC, yes. At least in my experience. They're the only fanboys I've seen that think their gaming preferences make them better human beings.

Just as annoying as any elitist/fanboy. I can remember some pretty bad ones in real-life, but they are generally decent people if you try to avoid mentioning console gaming to them. Then there are the ones who play MOBA's and shit all over you if you make a single mistake. They are bad.

But console elitists are also very annoying, especially when they use ignorant arguments like "PC has no exclusives", "you need a $2000+ PC to PC game" and the classic: "I don't PC game because I like the comfort of my sofa/TV". Maybe some of those people aren't really elitists, just uninformed gamers living in blissful ignorance.


Well yeah it sounds pretty ignonorant when you put it that way. Or they simple just don't like to play on a PC or can't afford one. I'm not saying it's expensive but it's a little more than console gaming.



"I've Underestimated the Horse Power from Mario Kart 8, I'll Never Doubt the WiiU's Engine Again"

Yes, they are easily the worst. It is amazing how smug they are considering the fact that PC has no exclusives. Sorry, but I am just not interested in buying a $2000+ PC just to play a few games. Besides, I like the comfort of my sofa/TV.

The ones I know in real life may not be horrible people, but their attitude does transfer to other debates as well.  Can't talk politics with them because they also have a pre-set mind about that.  Of course, these are just the ones I know.  Which obviously constitutes of about only 7 or 8 people (so far).  Online I know probably 5 or 6.  So the group I know is barely representative.  However, it's much easier to talk to fans of any other console (that I know) because they tend not to try to shit on everything and actually listen to what you say (gaming or non-gaming stuff).  I'd like to meet a PC gamer (in person) who I can actually talk to.
