wow guys did you really check his profile? how sad do you have to be to waste 3 seconds to look up someone's public information on this very site

smh stalking gaf strikes again

ban them all

I think it's distasteful to pull out someone's PSN, XBL or Steam profile as a proof of them not knowing what they're talking about. It's really lame and easily refutable.
 
You haven't really said anything of note though; instead of Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony you're saying Intel, AMD, Nvidia [and probably Microsoft again].

Larger corporations than those in the console space?

Yeah, I'm seeing a trend of console warriors pre-emptively jumping to the "PC Elitists" argument in a lot of threads to zealously defend their favourite corporation.
That's my original quoted post. Where in that post am I specifically defending these corporations, rather than calling out the stupid arguments that get overused in these threads?

can you really call yourself a hardcore gamer if your system has a ton of os overhead and has to support software that has nothing to do with gaming, even tangentially (office photoshop etc)? Sounds like the definition of paying more for compromise.

I know dude it's a mess, imagine if it had Netflix, Hulu, HBO NOW, MLB network, Vue, Sling TV, Amazon Video, Animax, BBC, Plex, Vevo, Vudu, CinemaNow, Youtube, Google Video, Spotify and all those apps that have nothing to do with gaming on my PS4 lol.

Not distasteful if their PSN is literally on their profile and they use the same Steam name (and added their Steam name to their GAF profile after people called them out and pretended it was always there).

Yes is is. It proves nothing about their argument.

It's not like you guys can't refute Viper anyway. Almost all of what he posts is inaccurate nonsense. You don't need to start playing "well you haven't played enough PC games" cards to make him seem weak.

It's e-peen bullshit.

sold your pc a year ago and never looked back, huh?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=218086709&postcount=10595

then why 2 months ago were you asking for advice on the purchase of a pre-built?

kind of makes me wonder about the motivations of your post

That's kinda funny though.
 
I take back my rational answer. Reading through the rest of the thread OP appear to be a prick and the scenario probably not what it first appeared to be either.

What in the world? This thread really took a turn.

I didn't create this thread to start a war. I actually believed NeoGAF was beyond that, honestly.

Also I don't have anything against PC gaming. It's great! My friends play on the console, therefor I play on the console, that's all.

I made this thread with the sole purpose of figuring out HOW to sell this really nice gaming PC I never use.

Tha's kinda funny though.

eh, it's not "you haven't played enough games" it's "your posts are directly contradicted by your own public profile, factually you're full of shit"
 
pc elitists have ruined this thread forever
 
I heard Sony are downloading more RAM in their new PCs to cope with Netflix and web browsing.
But that's entertainment not strict work productivity.

Never mind you have all those elements of previous operating systems running in the background for backwards compatibility vs a mostly clean slate every gen
 
Something on PC might interest you at a later time, would you be willing to re-buy a PC ? The simpler solution seems to be selling you PS4 and upgrading to the Pro when the time comes.

But if you can say with certainty that nothing on PC right now and for the foreseeable future doesn't interest you, and you friends being elsewhere, just sell it.

All bringing up their Steam did was reveal the date they signed up for Steam. They claimed to have been PC gaming since '09, but the Steam account wasn't created until '14. I would hardly call that e-peen waving.
just to play devils advocate, I did pc gaming a lot and never use steam. Maybe that's the same for his case? Or maybe they're just a troll.

Thank you everyone who responded to Viper and kept him going, top tier material. OP if you're not using it and are gonna get a cheap lappy for browsing then sell it and play on what you want my man.
They are busy making Cyberpunk.

Gud post, shame it went by unnoticed.
 
Not when it proves a point, no.

Seriously: what does it matter that Viper was lying or making shit up about his own gaming history? Does that make anything he's said any less or more ridiculous? No. Then why do it? Why start throwing around Steam accounts? What does it prove? Absolutely nothing.

I fucking hate it when people throw around online accounts as if they are evidence to anything. They're not. Argue with his points or don't. It's a complete waste of time and I will call it out every time I see it used as a piece of evidence for or against someone.

Is there a summary of what happened in this thread? seems chaotic and entertaining

We learned that PC gaming is just masturbating in your basement and you might as well buy a better car instead.
 
These threads always divulge into consoles vs PC. I guess the console peeps feel like the ball is in their court due to being closer to power of an average gaming PC and having the feature of HDR immediately
 
I think it's kind of disgusting how downright oppressive the attitudes of some members of this forum are... and moreso how often they are allowed to force it on the rest of us consequence free.

To discredit his claim of being a PC gamer since '09. There is no nefarious narrative at play.

Unless you feel like piecing it out for no good reason and delaying it; just sell it as a bundle and cheap because the longer you wait the more outdated it is.

Ebay, craigslist, gaf buy/sell, tinder trade, or just send it to me.

I mean it's not really a question that needs an entire thread to be answered IMO; that's probably why it quickly devolved into a shit show and that hilarious -viper guy antics.
