I don't even know what's going on, your poll, the quote and your original post all seem to tackle 3 completely different things.
It takes a bit of extrapolation, but the quote is implying that 'BF3 looks like a PC game' which he meant in a negative manner, which he is essentially saying PC's are inferior. And that also explains the post.

One is not superior to the other. PC Gamers are usually the ones to say that they have the superior system, and they are wrong. When console gamers say they have the superior system, they are also wrong. It's typical fanboyism. It's the console wars, but with slightly different parameters.

The difference is that PC Gamers usually insult consoles gamers personally, usually insulting their intelligence.
You can see why, right? :p

Since console reach out to a larger audience, that means retards also are brought into the system.

PC games look better, and if you want to use a controller, you can.

PC Gamers aren't better, but our hardware sure as hell is!

Whatever, just wash your hands.
The only thing consoles are better for are racing games and fighting games, and the pc can be better for racing games if it has a wheel.

You're the one that's not reading it properly, honestly. Sounds a lot more like a sensitive area that you've been dying to vent about.
Just because you didn't say it outright does not mean people will think it. Most of console gamers are tired with PC gamers expecting everybody to pay $2000 for things to look shiny.

ah, thank you.

OT yeah PC gaming is better than Console gaming - Consoles are little more than PC's with more limited functionality on old hardware, but at a cheaper price with a focus on a far simpler "Put the disk in and play" system.

PC gaming offers superior graphical fidelity, higher resolutions, smoother more stable gameplay, modding, third party programs to improve certain functionality (better VOIP for example), Multiplayer games often support a higher number of players, MMO's run far better on PC's, Strategy games are actually feasible on PC's...I could go on but you get the picture. The downside being that PC's require a considerably larger financial investment and expertise to get the best out of them.

put simply

Consoles - Cheap, easy, reasonable performance
PC's - Expensive, expertise needed, excellent performance.

It really comes down to your what you want and how much money and time you're willing to invest to get what you want.

PC gamers, however, are not superior to Console gamers.

You've just unintentionally made a good point; some people do indeed have better things than profess their supposed superiority over others because of their venue used to play a freaking video game, as it turns out.

I'm going to find it hard to believe your own insecurity is shared by most people who play video game consoles (I certainly didn't experience any before I ended up building a capable PC). Regardless, you shouldn't base your self-opinion on what some random joker on the internet says. Stop caring what some guy you've never met or will meet thinks of you, and there's suddenly no problem. Amazing.

Is there anything better to do? maybe I'm just bored.

Wait, which one has the superior controls again? If you play FPS, RTS, or adventures, a PC's keyboard+mouse combo is better; for all else, a good gamepad (meaning: no Sony DualShit) or arcade stick wins by far. Except if you have a more genre-specific controller, such as a flight stick or a driving wheel.

Yeah except that most PC gamers will call you an idiot if you pay that much for a PC, but hey, don't let reality get in your way.
Hey, whatever my knowledge is in Automobiles not Computers.

Can we all get the hell over this already?

PC gamers and their games are neither superior or inferior to us console gamers and our games, and that's the way things will always be.

What he said is retarded for 2 reasons.

1) claiming PC gaming is somehow inferior to consoles
2) using "gay" as an insult

I'm a PC gamer and I'd like to shed some light on this issue. PC as a platform is superior to consoles from a hardware point of view. Everything your console does, PC can do. Sure, there are some console exclusive games that you can't play on PC. But that's not PC's fault. There are some PC exclusives as well that could work on a console but developers and publishers choose not to release them on a console.
However, PC gaming is not superior to console gaming, and vice versa. In the end it all comes down to personal preference.
