Only if we stop calling new consoles "next gen", considering they're more than a generation behind in hardware in comparison to the PC platform.

I guess PC Gamer couldn't spell "PC Ancient race" correctly. Exclusive gaming deals try to "augment" the power of consoles, but let's be realistic over here. Even devs create/edit the game code on a pc, not a fucking console. Hands up if you were born before the Intel 286 PC times!
Literally the only advantages of consoles are relatively low price, and exclusives. I can't take anyone claiming consoles are better seriously. "PC Masterrace" might be a really dumb way to say it, but it isn't lying. That being said, I honestly don't care if people do consoles. It's their choice, they might do it because they don't have the money for a PC, or want to get the exclusives. But I won't hesitate to call people out on their shit (if they claim something not true, that is.).
I enjoy the satire of the name because it completely flips the idea of a Master Race on its head by being so inclusive that just having a PC capable of running games makes you a part of the group. People enjoy being part of a group and being included and PCMR embodies that by including everyone regardless of age, gender, and race. The name makes it seem like some exclusive group, but really it's just a community of people who enjoy playing and posting about PC games.
PC is master race though and if you don't agree suck it

The ports of saints row 2 gave me asthma,the port of gta iv broke my teeth and the ports of Unity and Far Cry 4 gave me cancer, the delay on gta v coupled with screenshots that still show low textures and no usage of what a PC is capable of whatsoever and no I am not talking about resolutions higher than 1080p aka 4k, a game that is approx 60 gigabytes should look much better than that. I don't think games will ever be better than Crysis in terms of graphics any time soon and that game was like 6 gbs compared to what 65? /rant over[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Latex;46932623]I'm gonna start saying it now, just because it apparently makes oversensitive twats uncomfortable.[/QUOTE] ------------------------------------------------------- [QUOTE=DeandreT;46934470]I enjoy the satire of the name because it completely flips the idea of a Master Race on its head by being so inclusive that just having a PC capable of running games makes you a part of the group.

We can't phase out the meme. It serves as both an idiot spotter (the sort of person who says it and means it), and a source of humor (parody of the former group). However, we [b]can[/b] change the words from "PC master race" to something else. I don't know what, but something. I think that'd be fair.
[QUOTE=Source;46932928]I'll stop declaring myself superior with my pc the day consoles stop being full of immature retarded people who bitch and whine about being better all the time and arguing over console exclusivity and the like.[/QUOTE] You do realise that you are doing exactly what you are criticising others for?
Why make it taboo? No one has viewed it as problematic beforehand. Otherwise, I would have quit from the start.
[QUOTE=Juniez;46934521]------------------------------------------------------- i don;t know what to believe[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/[/url] That's the PCMR subreddit and it's mostly people posting memes and PC propaganda. I definitely think there's a problem with PCMR fanatics brigading sites and posting elitist crap, but that sort of thing happens in every large group and there's not much you can do to stop it. People just need to chill out and realize that someone playing a console isn't the end of the world.
i mean all us console gamers know the whole pc master race thing is a bit of banter, no one takes it seriously on either side unless they're a total twat

Everyone knows that PC gamers are evil nazis. I mean, [B]everyone[/B] knows that when a person that prefers to play video games on their personal computer, says "PC master race, guys!" he means that, he, and everyone else that prefers to play video games on their personal computer, are in fact, part of a 'master race' and they believe in the destruction of all of the 'lesser races' to maintain the purity of their own 'master race', and not as a joke.
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;46931236]on the list of things that the world needs doing, "redesigning the identity of PC gamers from PC master race because it makes nobody sad" is probably right up there with chocolate teapot mass-production this article is a waste of data on the internet, i think reusing those bytes as the gif of vegeta getting bummed to death by piccolo would actually be a more worthwhile use[/QUOTE] That gif would also save the lives of thousands of addicts going through withdrawls too.
I do not see why games should not be just as cruel as nature.
[QUOTE=usaokay;46930794][t]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yjpJVz-Zo00/ULChEIlNz3I/AAAAAAAAC5s/bXgPMGTSpFA/s1600/gloriouspmr13.jpg[/t] Are you telling me that this image is supposed to be taken seriously?[/QUOTE] You'd be surprised. People take Yahtzee's word for it a lot that it's kind of sad. He's a good satirist, and a critic, but many of his fans take it as the "Word of God". At this point I hope this "meme" dies off so that Yahtzee can make another unintended joke that people will accept as truth. EDIT: How DOES Yahtzee react to all of this, anyway?
Console usually gets the better games first or completely exclusively these days. I still play mainly on PC but I am not blind enough to see a lot of things that made PC gaming awesome go to complete shit. At least we still have better RPGs and RTS games but I was never really that much of an RPG or RTS guy in the first place. Nowadays everyone jumps aboard PC gaming not to because they are interested in what it has to offer but because of competitive games that can run on toasters like LoL, Dota, Hearthstone, etc. Or they are a bunch of kiddies trying to hop aboard the DayZ train. I don't believe in the "master race" or whatever, especially since the library coming to PC that can only be played on PC is getting exceedingly dull.

PC Gamer: Let's stop making pointless opinion articles on things of no consequence.
I am perfectly willing to retire the moniker...when the unwashed hoards of console kiddies finally man up and admit that we're just better in every way. :v:

I think with the level of involvement you have in the GG movement you should step back, recognize your own biases, and really make sure that you're not misapplying your justices and reading into things that aren't there
Don't mind me, just a console gamer quickly passing through this thread, seeing if I can laugh a bit at some of the posts. And my, my, been going well, so far, so good.
