The source may be crap, but he has a point.

Quote:

and it’s not a popular argument, the average home computer user was more intelligent than the average console user.

GC: Well, I don’t know that it’s intelligence so much as a difference in the average age.


JH: It’s intelligence. The old home computers had the keyboard where you could write your own stuff, that was part of the attraction. Now, with all the best will in the world, some people are too thick to do that

LOL

EDIT //

I know ii distorted the headline a little, but I am going for a job at the BBC and its a requirement to make the headline more appealing, even if its not strictly speaking true.

Don't be daft, it took a high IQ to work out who Ryan Griggs was.

I don't really understand the point of this thread. Do you guys seriously define your whole identity on the fact that you prefer to use the pc instead of consoles? I'm not trying to be an asshole I just seriously find this mentality baffling.

was Erik Contona another?


and no pc gamers are not smarter, you only have to read a pc gamer only forum for proof that both console and pc gamerd can be morons.

I do however think he has a point when it comes to the old gamers home computers vs. consoles back in the day. But for what it's worth I just want to have the best possible gaming experience, so I have all 3 consoles and s decent pc, so I can play anything that takes my fancy.

that's an invalid argument, we all know torrent users are morons anyway, regardless of format.

that's his point though (imo) back in the day it was not just about gaming, most people learnt (albeit basic) simple programming skills as well.

consoles eradicated that and made it available to the masses, I personally don't see that as a bad thing for what it's worth.

I'm sorry, but in this day of the AWESOME BUTTON® gameplay, that is 100% to do with consoles and the perceived target audience.

Back in the days of Sega & Nintendo, games were not anywhere close to as easy (or, as EA would have you believe 'Accessible') as they are now, and noone seemed to complain. Now though, in this day of profit and quantity, it seems that actual longevity and gameplay is second to marketing, hype and cookie cutter gameplay that doesn't involve imagination to sell.

It is a sad world.

"Hare is currently working on smartphone game Word Explorer"

Why is it that most of my gaming heroes are now making shitty facebook- or smartphone games. That is just such a waste - If you want money for cool games you atleast used to love, just ask me!

And ya sensible soccer rocks - I still play it to this day!


There are two kinds of people I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

console users are not dumb or stupid they just don't want the hassle every time to buy a gfx , ram or install new drivers just to play a XYZ game ... buy a system for 5-9 years that play all... the plug and play mentality , the normal average folk that work for 11h and just have enough time to just play something for 30m-1h... the live fast die young generation

It hardly matters any more cause most games are heavily dumbed down then released on every available format to'maximise the revenue stream' or whatever is the current metaphor for burning citizens.
They get em every which way - a sad reality revealed by the way that even a mentally deranged Tommy (deaf dumb n blind) could waltz thru any AAA game set on easy mode, yet that disgusting shit happens site where they charge imbeciles for stolen cheats is coining it hand over fist.

You're thick too... mostly because you seem to think that you're called out here. The average (nextgen) console user, the majority, doesn't flash his console and....
