Consoles have fanboys PC has...elitists.

Hmmm, if you are saying PC elitists, I know who they are for the most part.  PC gamers in general, I'm sure there are more.  I mean, in a sense I am PC gamer as well since I play games on the PC.  Or, well, I mean gamers who primarily game (or exclusively) on the PC.  There's a big difference in attitude in what I've seen.  I actually don't really know any Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo fanboys in real life (that I've talked to and know about).  But, the fact that it's so easy to find the PC ones is odd to me.  I really only find the fanboys of the big three here.

The best PC elitist I've talked to at least recognized some of the points I made, while most of them ignore them completely.  The thing is is that my experience is that you can't have a normal discussion with them.  If it isn't something they can debate with you, they say  "I don't care" or something really rude.  Someone I know who plays Nintendo mostly is willing to talk, at least.  

Of course I'm sure that the experiences others have are different, but I wish I didn't have to deal with these kinds of people.  It'd be better if they were more uniform of a group.

edit: I just noticed when I said "here" it sounded like I was saying vgchartz.  I meant online.

PC building is a very obsessive hobby revolving around whose PC gives the best benchmarks so yeah you're going to get a lot obsessive nutcases from this crowd looking down on console owners.

But you get fanboys of consoles/franchises/soccer players as well. Any form of fanboyism is just poison.

Eh, it's really just more about looking at what a PC is.

PC's offer a multitude of advantages, and it's big disadvantages usually boil down to a matter of effort, money or specific exclusives. (Which are negatives in every systems category, PC actually having entire exclusive genres more or less.)


A game like Skyrim for example, is dozen times better on PC then it is on console (Even without the bugs) due to the fan made mods for example.

In a way, the difference between PC and Console is similar to the difference between Consoles and Handheld.

PC elitists may be worse, largely because to put it in a blunt, PC's are elite in a way.  

At some point with consoles you'll hit a wall you can pass on PC if your really dedicated and willing to spend money/ like a wide variety of games.  So it's where most of the most enthusiastic gamers end up... as you are limited less by the hardware.

I mean, where else can you see people build giant ass entire new games out of things like Skyrim if they want to?  You can just do so much more with gaming on PC, and expiernce so much more stuff, and if you want to have a console box like expierence.

Well that is  true, on PC you can get the optimal experience when it comes tu multiplatform. My main problem are exclusives... I don't know to many and the few I know, I really dislike them...

I totally disagree. You can't tell me that enthusiastic gamers end up in PC because they're less limited by the hardware, since they would be limiting themselves in software, which is what a gamer want.

Except they wouldn't be... as PC actually has tons of exclusive games in a wide variety of genres, some of which don't even really exist on consoles.  RTS, MOBA and TBS for example are practically nonexistant on consoles.  PC is missing certain franchises.  Consoles missing certain genres.  Which is really more limiting?

Not to mention you know... Console gamers miss out on a lot of PC exclusives... and console owners also miss out on other console owners exclusives.

Missing out on  great exclusives happens regardless of platform.

The "hardcore" gamers in general are the worst. They honestly think their opinionsare better than others. These people exist on every platform. 

Just like with everything they are the vocal minority. Most gaming enthusiast don't care to shower others with their gaming smugness but simply want to play games and be entertained. 

These are video games after all. They rank pretty low in real life's important topics. 

The sarcasm loses it's touch after the 50th time.

Which is fine, I'm just explaining why PC fans may come off that way.  PC's really offer a lot of things you can't do on consoles.  Be it wholey different expiernces that don't work on consoles, the ability to make and play unofficial sequels and additions to the games you love most, or just tinker and pour money into your machine so it makes things shinier.

It's really on a different "level" of evalutation so to speak, compaired to consoles who only can speak of exclusives and graphics differences.

Like for example, go find a PC game that doesn't have easy modding or prevents modding and that game will get the crap beat out of it by the same PC elitists who don't like consoles.

Or if it doesn't let you save wherever you want, or tons of stuff PC gamers are just used to.   They're generally spoiled by PC's maleability both it's hardware and software.  The Rigidness of consoles can feel constraining.
