Let me be very clear when i say this...."I am the PC Elitist" but i didn't switch to PC gaming for better graphics, I switched to PC Gaming for the Games the PC had that were not on any console and for the control over my Gaming. The graphics were just an added bonus.

When a PC gamer post spec it's so the others can get an ideal of what level of Gaming they play at. if your running an integrated Intel GMA 500 GPU well then I'm not gonna ask you stupid questions like
"well how does Metro 2033 run on your PC"? People post specs to get a feel for the other person's game experience mostly, see if anyone wants to know how a piece of hardware works in real life, but never to brag.

Hell any dual core CPU can run a game so there is no sense in bragging about having $1000 CPU.

I really do not understand the intent of this guys article but the only thing that made sense was yeh Team Fortress 2 is free and if you start playing it well you just might become a PC Gamer.

VainZiler5398d ago

Honestly, don't ask me, I didn't write it. A fellow contributor of the site I write for did.

ATi_Elite5398d ago

Well call him up and ask him just exactly what points was he trying to get across or was this just Flaimbait for web hits?

Cause I'm a PC Gamer and i only get mad when people make up lies about PC Gaming.

Solid_Snake-5398d ago

well said and why cant people just let us get our PC gaming on.

ATi_Elite5398d ago

History has taught me one thing......People generally administer hate towards the group they wish they were apart of.

evrfighter5398d ago

Sandy bridge 2500k @ 4.7ghz
6970
4gb ddr3

Just by seeing that, fellow pc gamers know the level at which I run my games.

"Please console gamers don’t think the PC fanbase is full of elitist dicks that are aroused by their specs."

lulz

Hicken5398d ago

^This. It seems rare- at least here on N4G- that that is NOT what a PC gamer is.

Lucreto5398d ago

I only clicked on this story to get a better look at the Kitty in a space suit. :3

I constantly think about switching to PC gaming. Money isn't really an issue, but I'm sure that the day I buy a rig, they will announce the new consoles at $700 a pop, and then money for all three may become an issue. These are the reasons i want one: better graphics, the simple fact that w all 3 i will never miss a game, mods, mods, mods, and possible mmo's which i have never played but i am a huge rpg enthusiast. These are the cons that have stopped me. I work alot and am already behind and fall has yet to happen, graphics may b better but only during this small window, it is a huge investment as I'm not going to get yesterdays tech, my friends do not play on PC ( this is huge), i have built up alot of trophies and achievements and had a hard time splitting between the two. Mmos are alluring but again my time is limited. Everytime i think about an investment, i think about the next generation and wonder how much they will move towards and begin to merge w the PC. It is inevitable that one day consoles and PC will co-exist. I cannot get rid of my consoles because of friends, trophies, and exclusives, and its already hard enough to manage my time (& i have 7 games reserved this fall). I alsways conclude that if i am not happy w the ps4 or 720, i will get a PC, unless its 2014 % they are no where in sight. But, i believe that by 2013, the playing field will b leveled once again and I'd rather have a PlayStation and Xbox. Now, which of those should i get 1st.

every stereo type has some level of truth to it.

BlueEye5398d ago

That truth would be the minority, like the stereotype that all muslims are terrorists (random top of my head stereotype), over a billion muslims and perhaps around 10k of them are extremists of varying levels. That's less then 1% of the populations.

Any real PC Elitist jackass is a tiny minority, and then there is the trolls.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio11d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9210d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
