Ha ha hah!

That said what I was trying to say only better and quicker.

Kind of a bad time to join Destiny now as the content slowed down but you will have plenty of content to go through so maybe they'll release more by the time you catch up.

That said, I still play it with my friends as well.

edit-if there is any girl here that even lets people on online games know they are a girl this is what its like especially on the consoles

Ah, lovely repose you get when playing online and they find out you are a gal. There was a reason I kept the mic off on consoles. My favorite thing was beating the crap out of them then turn the mic on and say bye. Hehe.

IMO a hardcore gamer is someone that plays games on any and every system he/she can get their little hands on. PC, console, etc.

Those that stick to strictly PC or strictly console are not hard-core at all. They are soft-core. mmmmmmm

Hmmm, then by that I am one. Though, I just really love playing video games or any game that is fun or requires strategy. Kind of the reason none of my family will challenge me to any type of board game.

Though the only game that ever got the most hours from me was Phantasy Star Online. I followed from Dreamcast to PC to Gamecube. Poor Gamecube clocked in over just 5,000+ hours on one character alone this not including my other eight characters or ones I lost to the dreaded corrupt that could occur to the game file.

I still have my launch day Gamecube and PSO ep1&2, I'm never giving it up. Darn sucker is a tank. Also still have Super Smash Bros Melee.

I basically just got the game to do raids with them and crucible. I never really actually cared for the game much, just playing games with friends since everybody always went the opposite direction I did in gaming. The only person I know personally on my level of PCMR is my best friend but he's as bad as I am, couple grand in a Facebook and Youtube box. He's only off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to game but I'm at work and by the time I get home he's done playing games. My roomie has a nice PC I built for him and he games but the only MP game we play together on it is Rocket League. He's about as tired of Battlefield and shooter games as I am. My gf loves to play zombies with me but that's a rare occasion that our kids let us actually sit down to play a nice match. On the flip side, got my PS4 hooked up last night, used my code for PS Plus, added Facebook, sent 8 requests and was immediately added to a party by previously mentioned peasants with one response being "Holy FUCKING SHIT PP GOT A PS4". Not something I ever got with any PC buddies and they were genuinely excited to game with me. Of course, right after that "Oh look at this level 2 scrub".

The only way I could play Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword was on the PC. The Wii being limited to 480p really killed it for me although I didn't mind playing Mario Kart that way. My next console is a Wii U since I already got a taste of that.

 

[Dethroy]

Thing with this stupid platform wars is, that typically the dumbest members (no insult to anyone on tpu) - that usually happen to be the biggest fanboys (obvious correlation) - are usually also the most vocal.

 

[Ithanul]

Ha, you're a girl?

Lol, why does every guy get surprised by that. Even peeps who use to play on my Minecraft and Terraria servers where surprised when I told them.

Obliviously no one has looked at the first sentence in my sig.

I read it before but it never really stuck.

From the statistics that I've seen in articles the ratio of male to female gamers is about 50/50. I guess it's common to think of gaming as mostly done by young males but that's not true apparently. It's surprising also to see that a big chunk of gamers are middle aged and older as well.

Because young "gamers" don't play themselves, but rather watch twitch streams ...

Those articles are mildly flawed, though flawed is inherently the wrong word. Every statistic regarding gender ratio of "gaming" has had different classifications of "gamer". Some go as far as "1 hour a day on candy crush on Facebook" as a classification of a "gamer" while others only count those that spend several hours a day on post-2004 consoles only. I have yet to see a study with a solid base methodology, sensible metric calculation, and a reasonable subject base that covers more than just a snippet of a particular society.

Personally I couldn't care less. I like to do entertaining things on a PC. Other people also tend to do things they find entertaining on a box of circuits, and they may or may not be male or female. Maybe a parakeet enjoys slamming its beak into the analogue stick out of sheer delight, but finds a keyboard less than titillating. No Ben Croshaw popular graphic should define a group of people, regardless of how amusing he is.

If somebody wants to buy a console, buy a goddamn console. Unless you're paying for a mail-order Asian cook slave, I don't see the point in repeating the same old diatribe and discussion.

Funny, I own/beat both games on Wii (twice for TP; didn't really care for SS). I'm not one to really care about graphics so long as they're adequate to serve the game designer's purpose. Ironically, that's also how I view designing windowed applications versus console.

In my experience, they're playing Nintendo DS and touch screen games on tablets.

I often gripe about this. It always seems like the survey is conducted in a manner to promote clickbait. It drives me nuts.

My issue was resolution rather than graphical fidelity. The content was so fuzzy I couldn't really do much. It was a night and day difference moving to 1080p rendering on the emulator.

Edit: I also appreciate the art style Nintendo has for their games.

I'm also predominantly a PC gamer. Always have, always will. That being said I have a PS3 as well. For me, it's a different focus. When I game on a console it's more comfy, the games are more arcade-oriented and my girlfriend enjoys watching. I mostly decide by control scheme and whether I figure that a game will work well from the couch, if that's even a proper metric. I usually really prefer keyboard and mouse, though

I've been gaming since the 70's. Back then on my pong paddles and then Atari. I skipped a few consoles throughout the years due to not having the money for them but I have always enjoyed gaming. I'm in that chunk of middle aged gamers.

Right there with you. Started gaming with an Atari 2600.

 

[WhiteNoise]

It's been awesome watching all the games evolve over the years. First time my dad brought home the Atari 2600 I can still remember being blown away by the graphics. Funny compared to what we have now.

I basically just got the game to do raids with them and crucible. I never really actually cared for the game much, just playing games with friends since everybody always went the opposite direction I did in gaming. The only person I know personally on my level of PCMR is my best friend but he's as bad as I am, couple grand in a Facebook and Youtube box.

My roomie has a nice PC I built for him and he games but the only MP game we play together on it is Rocket League. He's about as tired of Battlefield and shooter games as I am.

I think consoles in general inspire everyone to be more social. They first started out with you and your friends HAVE to be in the same room to play together. Even though people rarely game in the same room now it seems to keep that social vibe. That being said, it also depends on the game in the PC realm. Shooters people are used to seeing their friends come and go. Obviously they prefer to play with friends but for the most part they don't mind going solo. MMOs people are very social.

I have 3 friends I hang out with in real life on a regular basis who have gaming PCs but we haven't once played together lol. One of them is what got me into Destiny on the PS4. Two of them played together but on the latest Nintendo hand held (forgot name). And the other is a lone wolf. Two are all about PCMR and hate consoles with a passion but never once accepted a game invite on steam or sent one.

As someone who didn't like Halo multiplayer, I do like Crucible even with its numerous flaws and frustrations.
It's the only the shooter right now currently holding my attention. I actually had to rush to a raid right after making that post. Though I'm hopeful for Overwatch - definitely a PC buy!

Girls are still mythical creatures to most gamers lol.

Someone brought up Twitch, there are a lot of gamer girls on twitch playing every game under the sun. They generally have a good personalities too which make them more interesting to watch than the guy who doesn't talk and looks like he just ate a sour grape. I will usually put Twitch on when I'm farming stuff in a game or some other task that doesn't require my full attention.

We're social only because we have known each other the past decade or longer. If it wasn't for that I don't think I'd be playing with them or have even bought a PS4 due to being pretty much a loner and an introvert. Not that I hate social interaction, it's just hard for me to have fun with random people playing games.

hey 2006 called, they want their fanbois back really? its 2016 who care if ppl have a PC and/or Console. I have an Xbox One simply because EA NHL series stopped in 09 on PC and the fact both my kids love it. smh

NHL, madden and fifa


the only reason I buy consoles anymore... and now fifa for pc is finally releasing with the latest engine so there goes that reason.
