And the other argument of having to always buy the most expensive parts, which has been proved many times to be falseAnd finnaly that every PC gamer is an MMO addict, where as that simply isn%26#39;t true.
I thought they were supposed to be a professional website. This Gamesradar article really annoyed me...
Don%26#39;t be annoyed. That article was so chock full of misinformation it pretty much PROVES the point the author is trying to disprove. By being so completely out of touch with the actual reality of the pc gaming world, he basically shows that yes, console fans don%26#39;t know SQUAT, and that pc gamers are more informed and savvy. It might trick a few uninformed console kiddies, but for the people who are informed and educated on the subject...can just read it and laugh their arses off at the author. This Gamesradar article really annoyed me...
i was just reading the xkcd archive thinking i wouldn%26#39;t laugh this hard again for a few days at least, but gamesradar proved me wrongnice find, that%26#39;s some funny, funny stuff
This made me laugh so much. I really think this guy has lost the plot, what the hell was he smoking when he wrote that? I actually have a close friend who used to talk just like that about pc gamers. That was until he had enough money to buy a top spec pc, his whole attitude changed then. Funny isn't it.
As a pc gamer I tend to end up hating other PC gamers in system wars pretty much because they try to be elitest fanboys, which this article. I love PC gaming but it%26#39;s a far cry from the ''be all end all'' that many PC fans say it is. One major problems is ease of entry. To hardcore PC folks like us this isn%26#39;t a problem, but just look at the insane amount of pc help threads between the PC games, and Hardware forum. It%26#39;s obviously something that%26#39;s not as easy as PC fans claim.In the golden era of PC gaming it was fairly easy for PC fans to claim superiority but today they just sound like any other fan boy using faulty logic and inexperience to prove their point.
That article=lame. The guy obviously has no clue what he is talking about and has never been a PC gamer. I would go on a long rant about this, but the guy that wrote it made himself look like a big enough ass as it is, he sure doesn%26#39;t need my help with that.
It%26#39;s always easy to read something and see how bias they are. Plus can you really take someone seriously who looks this dorky?http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5400083

He kinda seems like the trendy-emo type as well...''oooh I Play retro japanese game oooh lala Final Fatnasy rulez!''Anyway, concerning the article, I totally loved how he didnt use any support or evidence to back of his claims. He merely tried to use the arrogent remarks of the PCG dude to incite people I suppose. I really think he should get fired or, at the least, demoted to writing whatever the worst part of the mag is.
While reading the rant I found myself wanting to debate his points then I looked at the picture. I was then reminded that one should not argue with an idiot because anyone watching might not be able to tell who is the real idiot. But I did laugh.
This article really made me laugh. I guess he is right, all what he have is FPS, RTS and MMO games. I guess now I will go and play Sam and Max.
all i can do is feel sorry. not for him, but for the people that have to deal with him on an everyday basis. his ignorance knows no bounds, but his knowledge obviously does. he%26#39;s obviously the one feeling insecure if he has to rant about how uncomfortable PC%26#39;s make him.
If anything that guy came across as bitter and jealous. The console fanboys have a hard time accepting that no matter what they do, consoles with always (for now anyway) play second fiddle to the PCs capabilities.
