Console gayers are gay

We have been saying this for years lol :rofl:

HAHAHA,

"they put the best console players against mediocre pc gamers and it was embarrassing for the consoler's "

Brilliant.

Nothing new though

Brilliant. Well done computer geeks. Another victory so well deserved!

We have known it for years..

Imagine if someone like me had played.. i pwn at everything :rofl:

Who you kiddin n00b_VR i am A-MAZE-IN!!

This top source is someone saying they've heard from 'reliable sources' none of which are actually cited? What a load of rubbish as clearly the test was as well, it's no surprise that a keyboard and mouse is a better control system for a first person shooter or similar which shows nothing of player skill, by choosing a racing game and forcing a PC player to use a keyboard and mouse compared to a more suitable control pad it would be easy to show how rubbish PC gamers are. I strongly suspect the real reasons for the project being cancelled are something else entirely but of course it sounds much better if you sell gaming PCs to slate console players instead.

Personally I'm a gamer and not childish enough to be bothered by what platform I'm using although over the recent years I've been continually disappointed with PC games which seem to be fewer and fewer and increasingly sloppy. DoW II: Chaos Rising was an expansion pack I'd been looking forward to for a long time as I'm a fan of Warhammer and RTS, I bought it on release and tried to install it. First off Steam was having one of its hissy fits and wouldn't start and in typical Steam fashion, wouldn't tell me what was wrong as clearly a concise error would be too easy. After mucking about with it for a bit I was getting nowhere but noticed in task manager Steam was downloading in the background even if it appeared to be doing nothing. I decided to leave it running whatever it was doing and around seven to eight hours later, Steam finally burst into life allowing me to get the game registered with Steam and start playing it...except of course that's just being silly, next of course is downloading that huge patch for the game despite this being release day! Steam working and patch installed it's time to finally start with the game but...uh oh...why isn't Windows Live accepting my details? Maybe I can start a game without it...nope...try again...sigh...another night gone. The next day Windows Live is working allowing me to finally get my profile synced up and into the game, watch the opening cutscenes and a bit concerned about the half formed models but hopefully the game will be ok...not so lucky, half the game world is missing including all the character models. Time for some fiddling with the graphics card drivers which are up to date, turn down all the IQ options but still the game isn't working properly. Start hunting around online and find out there's a bug with the expansion pack with anti-aliasing which is triggered if you owned the first game which is reasonably easy to resolve by changing some of the settings in the config file. After a few nights battling the software to get it installed and working I can finally get the game going which after playing for a few nights I decided was a pretty poor RTS game with irritating scripting and no improvements over the original.

Not every game is like that but I've been getting increasingly frustrated with the amount of time it needs to get a PC game working these days compared to amount of time spent playing it, even the likes of TF2 still seems to have obligatory patches all the time. To be fair the PS3 does seem to be trying to follow this aspect of PC games with large updates it and its games seem to need which I can't say I'm keen on either...

Whoa thats deep ...

I always knew PC Gamers could pwn console gamers like for like sicne back in the days of the Dreamcast.

It's all about the keyboard and mouse...

I have been playing mass effect one and two over the last month. I downloaded them, installed them, spent 5 mins changing some key bindings, and 5 mins getting my headphones working and I was away. PC's are on an ascendancy with gaming.

And thus proving the childish view I was referring to above as sadly I suspect you're not joking although the console diehards are just as bad in their own respect.

Playing games is childish though. Do you possess a sense of humour at all ??

It's only a bit fun, Who cares whos better. I'm equally ****e on my PS3 as I am my PC.

Consoles are still gay though

Pah! Call yourself a gamer. I'm terrible on PC, PS3 AND Xbox 360. Therefore, my terribleness is far superior to yours!

LOL

I have been full on gaming for about 15 years, I have tried it all, got the teeshirts and know the score (Hell, I was even semi pro back in the UT GoTY days and used to warm up before clan matches by going on the console servers and racking up 3 figure frag numbers. MMMMMMMMMMMONSTER KILL)

Your attitude to other peoples opinions suck worse than your sense of humour. If you don't like what other people think then don't invite the comments by postin your diatribe on a public forum n00b

Stuff..

I do agree with this.. some games are worse than others though.... Supreme commander for instance was a royal PITA with patching on a fresh install because you had to do all the incrementals separately!. world of warcraft was the same.

PC gaming has become massively more complex over the years.. (yet simpler at teh same time) i remember the days when it was just VGA, and if you were lucky you had a 3dFX card and that made the graphics nicer.. but also i remember many hours titting about with himem and emm386 to try and squeeze soundblaster, cdrom and mouse drivers into memory and still have over 600k of base memory free for games.

The problem is now theres too many hardware options, the power-void between your average "consumer" pc and a proper gaming pc is massive.. and the developers have to try and cater for this at the same time as being under pressure from the publisher to dig their goldmine...10 quid for a MW2 map-pack... err no thanks!

At the same time, the modern gen of consoles has made developers/publishers lazy.. i dont think ive ever played a game on my eggbox that hasnt needed at least one update!.

Personally i have a reasonably powerful PC and a 360.. FPS and RTS games its the PC every time, for arcade and racing i usually choose the eggbox..

TLDR

I did love the wording of that article.

Take a perfectly acceptable, and well known fact (K&M is superior to controller on most games), then rewrite it in the most controlversial way possible, to get everyone arguing.
