Poll: Which Gamer is angrier?

[weker]

Retro gamer, they are by far the ones that always get hot under the collar with video games.
Look at their icons, such a the "Angry" video game nerd, DPS gaming and a large portion of screw attack.
Also if you go on a retro gaming website they tend to also be the most verbal, and insulting.

I voted old school, because they all complain about the games not being as good as in the good old days... pretty much complain about every single convention/streamlining and the extreme linearity of today's games.

We complain with good reason

I'd say XBOX gamer, closely followed by PC gamer. I wouldn't call classic gamer angry, but they're, in my opinion, THE most annoying. I like classic games. I love classic games. Final Fantasy IV is on my top 5 games. Super Mario Bros. 3 is on my top 10 games, as well as Yoshi's Island. But, I'm sorry sir, but I WILL NOT call SKYRIM a bad game simply because it was made after the PSX was out.

My vote DID go for XBOX gamer, simply because on most message boards, it seems it's them that start console wars, and they're generally the ones to swear the most. I'm not saying all XBOX gamers are jerks or like console wars (In fact, I'd DEFEND XBOX gamers against this stereotype)... But the vocal minority of them seems to be more vocal than the other vocal minorities. Just for the record, I'm a PC gamer myself.

...hmm... no option for "predominately online gamers" in there. I'd say the system of choice matters less than preferred genres and play modes.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

i would say it depends game to game.

however, for overall-ness?

probably pc.

smug pretentious rage induced douchebags we are.

this is a better option than what i originally stated.

Surely if they're offline, you wouldn't be hearing about them...

I'd have to say PC gamers are worst, Xbox second. The PC gamers get all the bad ports from companies who don't care, DRM, and theirneck of the woods has tumbled since the glory days of the late '90's and games like Half-Life, System Shock, Thief, and Deus Ex. Plus they're also smug.

Xbox gamers... a different batch of angry. The rage at defeat in multiplayer kind. The immature kind.

We're all big freakin' rays of sunshine, aren't we?

You sure do, I am well farmiliar with that video. I'm not much of an FPS fan though so I can't really say how good quake, doom or duke nukem was...

All I think about when I see that video now is totalbiscuit going on about tribes ascend.

Everyone misses certain parts about video games though.

how many people come onto forums and ***** about single player games? Enough to be considered for the running... but not as many as those who ***** about people playing online... and still play online.

 

[DementedSheep]

Probably PC, more likely to rage on general forums anyway. Generally about shitty ports and DRM but also tend to be more finicky about little details, demanding and nostalgic . BTW I am a PC gamer.
Then again Xbox seems to have far more people throwing hissy fits in multiplayer with a mic.?WAHHHHH you shot me! HAAXX!?. I wonder why these people even play the games, they don't seem to be having fun.

 

[UrieHusky]

I mean lawsuit against EA for BF 1943? Could that be interpreted as the PS3 Gamers being a bunch of whiners?

How could it possibly be seen as us whining? we paid for something we didn't get which was featured in the advertisement, that's false advertising.. in other words illegal so a lawsuit is totally justified.

Getting screamed at for tactically using halo maps by a 12 year old kid, not so much. I vote the XBOX crowd

 

[Proverbial Jon]

I don't think PC Gamers are angry... they just have a superiority complex! Har har, I kid, I kid!

No seriously, I own an Xbox 360 and the kids on Live... angry as all FUCK. Which is odd really because they're no older then 12.

 

[Chainsaw_Chuck]

I AM NOT ATTEMPTING TO CREATE A FLAME WAR AND NOR SHOULD YOU.

This is nothing but flame war material, its completely pointless of a topic that is about nothing but opinion and working on the community of groups against other groups.

Really? Because I thought that was part of the satire of the whole "PC gamers are whiners" thing that has cropped up again recently. The fact that there's a contradiction in the post (the one you pointed out) just adds to the parody.

As someone who uses a PC as their main platform, I found this discussion quite funny and voted accordingly (ie. PC).

I was using it as an example, I don't actually believe that PS3 gamers are whiny for wanting promised content. I mean, I've bought games for the simple reason that I wanted the content they were offering with it (not for the actual game itself) so yeah I'd be pissed too. And lawsuit is a pretty good way to get EA to wake the hell up and do shit right.

 

[Coldster]

I really can't say, on one hand, PS3 has a much older audience so I can't say them. Xbox 360 has all those f**king angry idiotic kids that won't be quiet for two seconds. However, I think PC gamers are the worst because the only thing worse than a dumb asshole is a smart asshole.

EDIT: I guess I should clear something up before I get flamed:
Xbox 360 gamers = most angry
PC gamers = biggest pricks

 

[TheHappySquid]

As a mostly 360 gamer, us. We are the angriest. Unless DOTA gets its own console...

 

[ElPatron]

I am also more than open to continue the conversation of my supposed hypocrisy off-thread. Message me privately as this matter is off-topic and completely unrelated to gaming. Thank you.

How angry everyone is happens to be also unrelated to your gaming.

Your whole topic is now off-topic.

 

[Michael Hirst]

In first place it's got to be the Angry children of Xbox Live. PS3 has also got a large community of whiny children but thankfully the headset is somewhat rarer on that system.

PC gamers (like myself) are ungrateful little shits at times, especially when it comes to Valve who already give them so much free stuff then make DEMANDS to have more of the paid content for free.

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

It was a tough choice, but I went with PC gamers, just because of the self-entitlement that accompanies the rage. Props to 360 gamers as well though.

What?

PSN has more children than xbox live. I don't subscribe to any but in PSN there are more chances of finding kids, they are just not using mics.



I hate the whole "PC gamer" term because it implies that gaming was not made for computers in general. AhAh, there you have it - a smart asshole is definitely worst.
