They can be compared, they're both gamers and you brought up the user scores on metacritic. It's more that PC gamers have have a justified reason to be annoyed, whereas console fanboys have NO good reason to lower the score of a game. Seriously, which do you think is worse?

PC gamers: Lower the score of a game out of frustration and hope the developers see it and take note and possibly alter future decisions concerning PC games

Console gamers/fanboys: Lower the score of a game because we don't like the system it's on!

At least the PC gamers have the possibility of a productive outcome. Stuff like this (whilst it may appear sad at first) has had positive outcomes in the past (e.g. DRM).

hey cant be compared coz lot of people who gived low score to Re2 and Gears 2 didnt even played the game, they just want to rate it low because its PS3 or 360 exclusive.

 

Some PC gamers rate it low because they are arrogant (duh), console port is not good enough for them. They want a glorius ''PC PRODUCT''  not a stupid dumb dirty ''CHEAP CONSOLE PORT ''

 

Also, they think IW hates them, but they suure like to torrent every COD game and not give a dine to IW

WOW! Talk about sweeping generalisations and missing the point. I don't know how to explain it any better to get it through that skull of yours. It would be nice if you answered with comething logical and thought out rather than the ignorant comments of "PC gamers are arrogant and pirates".

It's not about arrogance or a cheap console port. MW2 is in direct competition with other PC shooters, all of which have dedicated servers, so a game that is supposed to be AAA doesn't even have the most basic and standard features that the direct competition have. Even there own CoD4 is looking more desirable for MP. It is NOT in direct competition with console shooters. WHY would anyone release a game into a market when it's lacking in so many basic features that even the cheapest of competitors have?

What works for one platform DOESN'T work for another. This isn't just based on PCs but can vary between consoles as well. Can you imagine if Star Wars came out on Wii and had NO motion control. Or if the PS3 version FIFA had NO online whilst the other versions did. If these things happened then Wii and PS3 gamers would be annoyed and rightly so. This is the situation that has occured here with MW2.

And not all PC players pirate games and they know IW doesn't hate them, they're a developer and a group of human beings that have recently made some unpopular and downright stupid decisions.

I note you didn't actually answer my question:

Which is worse, console fanboys lowering the score of a game they haven't played because it's on a rival console or PC players lowering a score because it lacks the basic features the competition has?
