Do you consider the PC: "master race" platform? If yes, why?

  1. 1. In your opinion, is PC the "master race" gaming platform?

  2. 2. Do you also play on consoles?

It's called the MASTERRACE for a reason,well for a load of reasons,here they are along with some facts that the peasants should keep in mind...

  • Keyboard,mouse and any controller to be used.
  • Clearer image thanks to native resolution ,console games don't allow resolution adjustments.
  • Free online services
  • Bigger and better online services, for FREE,Much more online players.
  • Higher framerates,Consoles can barely reach 30FPS.
  • Faster than a PS4 or XBox One for the same price.
  • Usable for work, education, as well as entertainment,PC's everywhere for multi use.consoles,good for what ? "playing on a couch" ?lol.
  • Better price-performance than consoles
  • Cheaper games
  • Free game modifications and enhancements(Mods)
  • larger storage.
  • More exclusive games
  • Healthy independent developer scene
  • Gaben
  • Free games
  • Free abandonware titles
  • Can emulate many console games using freely available emulators
  • Increasingly cheaper hardware for the price as new GPUs are released
  • Big Picture mode for couch gaming
  • Easier to repair and highly modular
  • Backward and forward hardware compatibility of ~2 years
  • No punishments for repairing
  • Can be upgraded
  • Easy to upgrade
  • Higher resolution (native to your display, amazingly sharp,4k,8k). Consoles struggle, even at 700-900p,upscaling.
  • Higher graphical details (lighting, textures, foliage, particles, shading, weather,anti aliasing)
  • jaggies,slow loading times,pop-in textures, aim bot(auto aim),while PC is free from that rubbish
  • Graphical downgrades for consoles
  • Oculus rift
  • Full Customization
  • So much products to choose from (free choice)
  • Console games are made on PC
  • Consoles hold down PC,while PC evolves consoles.

Did i forget anything ?

Call me whatever makes you feel good,this is strictly facts.

You say these are facts, but many of them are not. Some are, so I won't address them.

 

*Some games don't even properly support gamepads, and some don't support them at all. In that case, you have to use an external program like Joy2Key or something and painstakingly have your gamepad emulate keyboard and mouse commands. Much fun, so intuitive, very wow.

*A lot of games do have free online besides many MMO's, though this is obvious.

*I don't see how the online services are "bigger and better". Steam is the most popular one, but the actual client software sucks complete ballsack and has for years, has tons of issues and is still missing basic functionality that should've been there years ago. Not to mention MANY games on Steam are either abandoned in the multiplayer or have very few people playing them, even games that came out just a year ago.

*There's a decent amount of console titles in CG that reach 60fps, though others offer a 30fps cap for various reasons, whether it's hardware deficiency or for the sake of smoothness (a consistent 30fps is more fluent than a rapidly fluctuating 40~50~60fps is)

*I already obliterated the "faster for the same price" nonsense earlier in this thread, and it'll be even less credible when the consoles receive price drops down the line.

*Usable for work and education? This point is stupid. Who in the bloody hell would buy a *dedicated gaming machine*, i.e. a console, for work or education? Come on dude, really?

*Better price/perf is a lie. Already pointed this out twice.

*Cheaper games, already addressed this myth as well. Most PC games cost the same as they do on console when they first launch.

*Consoles have free games too.

*LOL @ aimbot for consoles, there are PC games with that as well. CoD on PC enables auto-aim automatically if you use a gamepad. And don't get me started on the *actual* aim-bot users in many shooters...

*Consoles aren't holding down anything. If devs wanted to push PC more, they would, but for whatever reason most of them don't. And you if you say this and honestly believe it, you clearly haven't seen Crysis series and Metro games.

 

Most of the other stuff on your list was redundant entries where you repeated yourself for no reason other than to make your list appear bigger than it really was. Obvious stuff that shouldn't have even been said, really. Like I said earlier, there's no point in trying to justify why PC is superior to console when a console's role was NEVER to try and one-up the PC or even compete with it as a platform. Jesus...

Thorough and unbiased. I couldn't have said it better myself. Edited by Bishie

There is nothing like master race cus most of PC players play some stupid wow and other MMsh*ts, most of this junkie kids only talking sh*ts on forum. But most of console players are lazy f*cks and only good thing is ''I CAN LEAN AND PLAY TOGETHER'' I owe only pc cus modding and control options as well better shadows and graphic. But no master pc race. In both sides are stupid cocksuckers it's all about people not platform.

So? again,point is PC will run any controller,disregard of the invalid attempt of yours which actually leads back to the same thing that i said.

 

*A lot of games do have free online besides many MMO's, though this is obvious.

Regardless, you still have to pay,invalid again.

 

*I don't see how the online services are "bigger and better".

That's just your opinion.

 

*There's a decent amount of console titles in CG that reach 60fps, though others offer a 30fps cap for various reasons, whether it's hardware deficiency or for the sake of smoothness (a consistent 30fps is more fluent than a rapidly fluctuating 40~50~60fps is)

You say consistent ? lol,guess you haven't seen the thread where the 30 cap fans are moaning about how the frames dip to 20-22 in GTA V,yeah so much for that consistency,lol i mean the game is jaggied all over,textures are most likely to be on Medium/high and still runs like sh*t,wonder what they gave up to gain 60 frames on other games.Consoles ≠ decent,more like a pain in the ass.

 

*Better price/perf is a lie. Already pointed this out twice.

That's just your opinion.

 

*Usable for work and education? This point is stupid. Who in the bloody hell would buy a *dedicated gaming machine*, i.e. a console, for work or education? Come on dude, really?

Point is PC is good for all the use unlike consoles which suck at their very own point of existence.

 

*Cheaper games, already addressed this myth as well. Most PC games cost the same as they do on console when they first launch.

A myth ? sure, it's a myth on them potatoes. right now with another load of games, that's without looking into the CDKEY sites:

Wolfenstein: The New Order

PC:20$

Console:59.99$

Yeah sure they are the same at launch but the overall, PC games are much more cheaper.

LOL @ aimbot for consoles, there are PC games with that as well. CoD on PC enables auto-aim automatically if you use a gamepad. And don't get me started on the *actual* aim-bot users in many shooters...

Yeah and consoles are stuck with it,while with PC you have the free choice to bypass that crap.

You can start that with GTA V on both consoles.pretty sure you'll find enough.

*Consoles aren't holding down anything. If devs wanted to push PC more, they would, but for whatever reason most of them don't. And you if you say this and honestly believe it, you clearly haven't seen Crysis series and Metro games.

http://wccftech.com/microsoft-sony-pressurizing-ubisoft-30fps-pc/

Not to mention the ports that PC gets and how horribly optimzed it is, due to devs being a bunch of lazy ass console promoters.

Wonder why the PC version of V has yet to get it last.

Everything you said is either your own personal peasant opinion or misinformed trash,try harder next time.

I do not consider any platform a master race platform, but I do find the PC to be a really good gaming option for the price. It is pricey to build a nice machine but for that much you not only have access to current games and possibly future ones, but a massive backlog of older titles that are well worth the time and effort to play.

Since you've proved several times, you can't discuss this in a civilized manner, lock.
