    GamesRadar's resident PC elitist checking in. Just wanted to remind you guys that I'm currently enjoying playing Skyrim like this on my new rig, with double the fps of your console version and no load times: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/576747965797331654/A2881894ECA97779C7FBC11DAF4E85DE8306FD5A/ I spent $680 on a motherboard, CPU, RAM, and video card. And I got three free games with the video card. Now I'm all set for BF4 and The Witcher 3. My last PC lasted me for over 4 years. This one should last even longer than that. Suck on that, "YOU HAVE TO SPEND $2,000 EVERY YEAR" kids. After 4 years of not paying a monthly fee for online MP and saving 50-75% on nearly every game, I will have spent much, much less than the console crowd, while getting a far better experience. Hey, maybe I'll use those savings to buy a PS4 someday. I've even got my PC hooked up to the living room TV, and a wireless 360 pad. So when I'm playing most games that are also on Xbox, the only difference is that I paid $5 for the game, and it looks and runs way better.

  • Shinn - September 10, 2013 10:50 p.m.

    Eh, I'd take Total War: Rome 2 over GTA5 any day.

    I think I come under Retro Hipster, Truth Telling Elitist Snob. I used to be a gun jumper too but I tend to make up my mind these days at about the halfway point between console announce and release (usually depending on the exclusives).

  • Shinn - September 10, 2013 5:51 a.m.

    Techno babbling richie rich gun jumper here.

  • pl4y4h - September 10, 2013 5:25 a.m.

    As I was reading the retro-hipster slide all i could think of was Egoraptor

    I fit mostly into the truth telling, exclusive snob categories. I don't care about the teraflops and the XBOne's 8GB of ram exclusively for playing dance dance revolution 3, all I know is the PS4 will have a new infamous and that makes me happy, very happy.

    I'm gonna be a Richie rich when I sell the PS4 I pre ordered during the Xmas rush on eBay. Keeping the Xbox One at launch, then saving up for 2014 to get a PS4 with infamous in Feb/March.

    This was freaking fantastic article. Truth be told, the 3DS was the only thing in my life i bought at launch. Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts was literally the only reason i went for 360 instead of PS3. "Technical limitations in the past forced developers to make up for lack of whiz-bang production with solid gameplay and creative designs." Yup, pretty much and especially now the 360 and PS3 has some games that are trying before next gen, like God of War Ascension and GTA V and technically Nintendo in general. Dont remind me about the "Truth Teller", Wottergate was too much, too many casualties

    Hopefully they're not the ones with bazookas. .

    I'm a "sloppy seconds" kind of gamer. When one of my friends joins the new generation of consoles, I'll offer to buy their PS3 and a selection of games for $100. I have at least 5 years of AAA titles to catch up on, I'll be in total bliss while they juggle some launch-window lemons.

    --I'm a console stud --I ejaculate into both my Xbox & my ps every 3days(offset days, I'm not a SUPER stud) --which ever one becomes pregnant first is gonna be my choice for best console

  • LoboMau - September 9, 2013 8:43 p.m.

    Weren't you a self-proclaimed truth teller in your previous incarnation?

  • MagnusRobotFighter - September 9, 2013 9:34 p.m.

    --can a reincarnated self-proclaimed truth teller --not be a " console stud" ?

  • rigbybot127 - September 9, 2013 6:22 p.m.

    I'm a flip-flopping exclusives snob. Sounds about right...

  • AshLynx - September 9, 2013 6:04 p.m.

    Not quite a retro hipster, but how about a "late to the last console gen party-goer"? I'm only now planning to get a PS3. Part of this was me waiting or enough games on the system that I wanted and now I want a Bluray player too, but also getting enough money. There's also the "screw consoles, I stick with handhelds" crowd that I'm definitely a part of.

  • Swedish_Chef - September 9, 2013 5:33 p.m.

    Did I ever say how much I hate people during console wars? Because I really hate people during console wars.

  • C.King - September 9, 2013 5:33 p.m.

    is it just me or is the wiiU's biggest competitor its brother nintendo platform, the 3ds? their libraries are pretty similar including major releases/ system sellers. i love my 3ds too much, it's satisfying all my needs not leaving room for the wiiU to fill, man i love street passing!

  • rxb - September 9, 2013 5:01 p.m.

    Another use for the retro hipster is then seem to enjoy cranking cool retro indie games.

  • spartan524 - September 9, 2013 4:50 p.m.

    I'm not a PC elitist, but I am a PC gamer. Why pay tons of money for content when you can make it yourself, or download mods? Why pay another $60 for a new game, when you can upgrade your game with modded content? Why wait years for the next graphical update when you can just install new textures, meshes, and add a bunch of post-processing? The power of the PC allows you to change how you play at any given moment.

  • BladedFalcon - September 9, 2013 5:04 p.m.

    You are totally a PC elitist :P
