Yes.

No.

I'm 20 and I know stuff about video games.

Durrrrr.

about 75% of /v/.

>>109900902
Fuck off, furfag.

>implying you can come to /v/ to discuss video games

Basically. They don't fit in at school and /v/ gives them a sense of community they've never felt. They really barely know shit all about vidya, and most likely came from /b/. Being around a bunch of idiots who think they're smart makes them think they're smart because they can relate or whatever. I usually don't bother with threads like this but /v/ is rather dull right now.
>Inb4 somebody tries to prove their intellect to me.

What makes you say so?

>>109901229
cool projection bro

According to a /v/ questionaire that ran for a couple of months, the vast majority of /v/ is aged in their 20's.

i'm 20 years old and played video games since the snes.

There are two types of people here on /v/

those who know shit about vidya, and those who dont know shit bout vidya

They are called PC gamers and filthy peasants, respectively.

>>109901452
I'll admit, I was that kid once. But I smartened the fuck up, got off my ass and made friends.
Protip: just be you and don't worry about what other people think. People can tell if you're fake, trust me. Would you rather have somebody like you for who you want to be or who you are?

>>109901763
What do PC gamers know about console games? I've seen people on here who have never played a console game. Are these the people who know shit about video games?

>massive widespread generalizations about "supposed" groups of anon, with no evidence or data or even really any indication beyond the general paranoia of most /v/irgins that anything is actually wrong THE THREAD, INB4 A MILLION POSTS

>>109901890
Console games are not relevant. Now fuck off.

>>109902098
Not relevant? The majority of video games are on consoles. You can't claim to know shit about video games if you only play on one console.

If you don't enjoy at least one console game I really, really, pity you.

>>109901890
that would be a joke, an antiquated method of communication in which one presents information, true or otherwise, in a humorous light, (in this case sarcasm)

In most /v/irgins, the ability to sense and interpret jokes has mostly been lost through gradual evolution, as those who carried the trait of being able to perceive jokes almost universally fell victim to 4chan only predator and indeed its only natural fauna, the common Troll

>>109902253
I guess your post is a joke too!
Every post in this thread is a joke!
If the post I was replying to was intended to be a joke it was a pretty poor one.

>>109902253
Ah yes I have indeed heard of such a thing, there are many references these 'jokes' in the Grand Record of the Scribes

>>109902388
fuck off autismal console kiddy, you're only further embarrassing yourself

Maybe this hostility I'm sensing is sarcasm? Who knows?

No, /v/ is a bunch of stupid teenagers and manchildren that don't know shit about video games.

>>109902745
>Defend console gaming by aligning oneself with Quentin

Hmm the only appropriate analogy that comes to mind to compare with that would be trying to entice more customers into your shitty grocery store, by actually smearing real shit on the walls outside.

I derail non vidya threads until a janitor comes to delete or aswell a mod delete and ban me. i don't really care if i get banned.. i'm doing it for the vidyagaems!111

Yeah Nintendo hate has skyrocketed since 2007.
I don't know how it happened. That's really all I have to say I don't want to stay too much longer in a thread that will turn into a giant flame fest.

>>109902956
>implying Q wouldn't just make up some fuck-all retarded rationale for smearing shit everywhere.

most of /v/ are in their twenties but that doesn't mean they aren't complete stupid fucks

>>109902956
That's a real nice argument. What would you have said if it wasn't made by Quentin?

Where are you actually challenging the points made in the comic?

>>109903391
Still no argument. I guess it's a nice get of jail free card. You get to rationalize your poor purchase by disregarding an entire argument. But that's what I expect from someone like you. Someone who shows so much pride based on the video game platform they use.

>>109903391

>my bad purchase

Yeah see that thing you are doing, its called projection, and it is one of the depraved means of lashing out that the Proles have against those they are intimidated by. Read: those with enough fucking grey matter in their skulls that they decide they don't want to be a drone of whatever company publishes their games.

Its kinda funny actually. But its really much more pathetic

>>109903579
>He thinks we think of PC's like a member of the console wars

Yeah thats just it, we are literally a step above all that bullshit, cause newsflash, a PC does much fucking more than play whatever dumbed down shit that Microsonytendo deems appropriate for you to play

>>109903985
I could get all three major consoles for less then that and pirate most of the games. Meanwhile you're stuck playing games from the 90's because no developer gives a crap about the PC anymore.
Well at least I know that in a couple of years your kind will be gone.

>>109904211
Well you certainly act like it. If you're above it all I wouldn't see PC MASTURR RACE XD11 plastered all over threads where it has nothing to do with the PC.

Its a fuckin miracle that consoles (xbox especially) can play games at all.

One of these things is not like the other..

It must be nice being ignorant as fuck.
Buddy I can play a list of games larger than the entirety of any of the console lineups, which are filled with hackneyed and half-finished products as it is. And before you go there:

>implying i would ever want to play a console exclusive

Thats a problem i never run into

>>109904751
No, im saying it was well worth my money, something that cant be said of any console on the market at this point, I believe you are the stupid one Mr. Peasant Defender

>>109904890
Never played any of the classics before?
Let me ask you something. What are some of your favorite games?
>>109904972
$99 dollars for about 30 great games isn't a terrible purchase either.

>>109904506
>Post the ability to softmod and pirate games as a selling point for consoles

>Turn around and criticize PC gamers for pirating games

HIPOCRISY HOW DOES IT WORK
lol seriously though i know you guys are jelly as fuck, but for the love of god just stay classy like that. At least I don't have to list the ability to steal most of the products i'm going to be using as a selling point (even though I could and have), but shit i guess if i had to pay 60 bucks for washed out versions of games i could get on PC, then yeah I would steal too

>>109905318
Okay it still costs less assuming you're paying for PC games as well. I just listed the pirating stuff so you wouldn't turn around and say. WELL YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR GAMES I GET THEM ALL FOR FREE HURR DURR.

Now answer me. What are some of your favorite games Mr. PC gamer?

>Know guy in real life
>critiques PC's on their cost, instability and ease of use issues
>Tries to play games on his $1400 Macbook

CONSOLE GAMERS
Macs are pretty much in the same boat as you guys in my opinion

>>109905678
No. Macs are the definition of a waste of money. We're not retarded. We just like different games. I don't understand why you feel the need to criticize someone because they enjoy games you probably haven't even played.

OP here thanks for confirming my doubts.

>>109905483
Well in all honesty I would claim my favorite game as being Tie Fighter 95 ( i still have the original CD and such) and I used to play it even before that out of DOS on a computer with a 50MB harddrive.

But i've owned a variety of consoles in the past, played and enjoyed everything from Skies of Arcadia to Halo (which i always quite liked actually) But as far as having a favorite genre, that would be RTS, so you might be able to see why i might justify paying for a 750 dollar computer.

#1. I did not own a computer at all, and i had the means to buy one and intended to, regardless of playing games
# 2. for essentially a nominal fee, and a minor amount of effort on my part, i bought and installed a couple upgrades on a stock computer, GPU, RAM, power supply. Now for relatively cheap, in comparison to the amount of money some people chose to spend, I have a system that can not only play RTS, but any other contemporary game i want to play, with some exceptions, and do everything else a PC can do.

In my mind, the question isnt why would i spend the extra money, its why not.

>>109905678
Guy you have been fighting with here, dont know who this was but it wasnt me. As much as i feel disdain for them, Macs are still the bastard relative of PC, and we if anyone should bear the shame.

>>109906488
>But i've owned a variety of consoles in the past, played and enjoyed everything from Skies of Arcadia to Halo
>continues to bash console games

I'm playing WC3 right now for the 1st time. What's a similar RTS?

FUCK YOUU! I AM A HARDCORE DIEHARD MINECRAFT FANATIC WIT OVER 1200 WOLRDS AND I ALWAYS OPKLAYE ON EASY MODE AND BUILD MY HOUSE AND I DONT PLAY WITH MODS BECAUSE THOSE ARE FOR CASUAL BABBYES BUT FUCK YOLU! I AM THE BEST AT MINECRAFT I BUILD BLOCK ARTR ALL THE TIME AND I HATE ANYBODY WHO CALLS ME AUTISTIC!M BUT FUCK YOU MINECRAFTS AMAZING PLOST IS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT!! WHAT OTHER GAME HAS A PLOT WHERE YOU WAKEU P AND PUNH TRIES TO GET WOOD!! UINNOVATION AT ITS FINES MOTHERFUCKERS! ALL YOU FUCKERS JUST DO IS PLAY MEAN VIOLENT GAMES WHILE MINECRAFT IS 100& KID FRENDLY AND THE THE KIDS LOVE I!!!!T AND NOTCH IS NOT a WREEADOO (WHATEVER THAT IS8 SO STOP BULLING HIM!!!!!!!!!!

>>109906689
There is a pretty fundamental difference between console games in the past, and console games now.
For instance, Deus Ex as i recall actually had a superior version for the PS2, with more features, improved textures, and more content. Find me a game with more content to it than its PC counterpart today (thats discounting modding, im talking shipped game) and we'll talk. I cant think of anything but I may very well be leaving something out.

>>109906689
Uh SC is same company obviously but its not similar at all. WC3 isnt really like too many other RTS out there, it definitely leans more towards real time tactical, with the use of smaller groups and heroes, with lots of unit abilities.

>>109907158
I suppose that's why I like it so much.
>>109906970
Well for the most part I agree. This generation is pretty shitty besides like ten or twenty games or so.

>>109906803
This is a stigma against PC gamers I never quite understood.
Pirated minecraft, fooled around with it, played it when severely bored, eventually uninstalled. Its more like a game for people who are looking to eat time the same way that playing browser games eats time.

Thats another thing that gets me too, is when you have console die-hards try and shift the blame to PC for murdering the industry slowly via Browsercasual games, Zynga etc.

I've never understood how those things represent a more credible threat than unifying gamers under a single online umbrella, in which they can be more easily milked of their money, ones actions controlled and regulated, and much easier implementation of further money grubbing, a la COD Elite, which anyone with half a brain can see aims to be more than just paid stat tracking.

How is
>oh no free to play games

worse than

>oh shit its a new iteration of the same old shit and hey now it costs 75 bucks plus 25 a month for call of duty online plus whatever else is sure to come

>>109907349
And on a serious note bro, I don't hate consoles and I certainly don't really hate or disdain console players. I never assumed this thread would make it anywhere passed shallow half assed trolling attempts so that's what I was doing. Call it trolls remorse if you will but that's life in /v/

>>109907349
>>109907958
I think there are legitimate issues that consoles do bring though that are causing some amount of backwards thinking in the industry in general.

People are quick to jump to conclusions when PC gamers criticize the lack of hardware capacity in consoles, and start throwing around hurr durr graphix=good sure is master race in here

But almost everything that is good about games we play today is influenced by, if not downright dependent on hardware limitations. The classic idea being that if the limitations werent so grave, (and they are, idk about the new ones, but most 360s are running 5+ year old RAM and videocards) games like COD could perhaps have less linear level design, and more interesting things to do and see and involve yourself with. Which i think would do nothing but good, but instead we have a culture of apathy developing where the main idea is to release the same proven crap every year, with little to no change, less work the better, cut as much as you can so we can sell it back to em later.

>>109908615
So basically I guess I like many other people see modern consoles, and the business theories associated with them like ridiculous, unnecessarily long console lifespans, as being symptomatic of a greater issue. Not the problem itself per se, but a part of it.
