Why did you convert to Master Race?

[niofalpha]

Minecraft/ Arma are what brought me into PC gaming... That and all the retro flash games when I was Younger... #BTDMasterRace

[Oranges]

I was a peasantbox user for 2 years, all of which I said to myself "I wish I could mod my games". At the end of the two years, I finally got my PC, and ascended to the master race.

STEAM SALES. nuff said

My story began a long time ago in a land far far away, all I had was a wii and a dream of gaming in the best way-which I did not no what is was. Later I moved onto a XBox 360 and had only 2 games. It was at this time that I thought I had it all, but I didn't. After some time I thought how cool a custom pc would look, so I googled the google and found Alienware, unfortunately when I saw the prices I thought "the hell is this?" and immediately forgot about it. Overtime I began Redditing and saw the /r/pcmasterrace and decided I WAS going to build a pc. I immediately went onto the You of Tubes and found Tech of Tomorrow at the time I thought Linustechtips was supposed to b about linux so I ignored it until eventually i found out he gas a review of EVERYTHING decent so I watched a video and it began, I saw the light of the Saint Linus and his preachings to the Lord GabeN it is after this that I began being a preacher of the power of the GabeN. As a preacher I have attempted to being dozens over to the master race and out of peasantry, unfortunately as of late my preachings have been in vain.

I tried to build a comp for audio production, but all it needed for gaming was a GPU. When in Roam

Can you play Brutal Doom on a console. It's also in the name you know. PCMasterRace. It's a Master Race.

So many reasons, mostly because I can work and play at the same time.

 

Also,

 

- Keyboard and mouse

- Graphics

- Steam sales

- Upgrading

- Mechanical keyboards

When I was 3 or 4 I was already playing this game called 'Busy Town' on my dads old mac, when I was 7, I got a Nintendo DS Lite. Two years later I got a £200 laptop, and got extremely into the idea of gaming. After 2 years with that crappy Compaq laptop, I had researched tonnes. I asked my dad if we could build a computer and he was obviously unsure so he asked this computer dude who told me that I was "too young" and should just buy an Xbox 360. So, my dad trusted him, and we bought an Xbox 360. This was April 2012. I played Xbox 360 up until a week ago, when I finally ordered my £1000 gaming pc

 

I just built it yesterday, and I am so pleased

Nobody has ever said in the history of words: Console Master Race,

I did it simply to save money. Some console gamers may be like "Whaaaaat, but you spent £1000, a console is only £350".

 

Yes but what is the purpose of a gaming console? To play games. Games cost money, a LOT of money over the lifetime of a console where the average title costs £20 and a £10 game is a "bargain" even indie titles can cost £2-15. It adds up very quickly. Compare that to PC where £10 is considered (to me personally) a big purchase and paying £30-50 for a PC game is very very rare. I'm used to getting bundles of games for a few quid or sometimes just one, count em, ONE PENNY to go DRM free. The savings from moving to PC are simply massive.

 

Even better is that with the money saved I COULD upgrade my graphics card in a few years if I wanted to, in fact since building my PC in Feb 2014 I have over £2000 worth of Steam games, so its already paid for itself and then some.

1) You can play classic games on emulators.
2) Everything is designed on a pc (Consoles and games included)
3) Extremely varied when it comes to customizing.
4) 144HZ Master race.
5) Widest selection of games, EVER.
6) Cheaper in the long run.
7) Isn't limited to "playing games".
8) Pic related, my rig.

From young I always been using a PC, my father preferred them and he would not buy a console, so I guess I just stuck with PCs

[LOST TALE]

Because I am an intuitive Thinker and take pride in my superior understanding and that what PC master race is all about.

 

Because if Pcs are for you has a lot to do if you have the understanding to take advantage of them properly.

Ive been a pc gamer from day one, As of writing this post im a week away from being 21, i grew up with my father being a pc tech and have been playing games on pc's since i was about 3 years of age. I have always kept an xbox around for the rare exclusive i really wanted to play like the halo series etc and soon to come destiny which is one of my most looked forward to games in my lifetime. I guess i never really converted however i have converted multiple friends in the past few years. After they saw my setup and realized what i could build for them on the cheap and how much better it was than console gaming they quickly made the swap. we all have xbox ones kicking around so that we can play destiny until the pc version lands (lets face it, we all know its coming eventually but itll be a while). i can easily say im  not the typical "pc master race" vs "console peasant" kind of gamer as i embrace both sides knowing that they both have a very firm place within our world.

It's so much cheaper to play on a PC.

 

Update your hardware every 3 or 4 years, don't worry about which games you can or cannot play and emulate any(almost any) video game, if you want to that much.

 

My last video game(console) was the Nintendo 64 and PS1. Those were the good times. I don't hate console players, I just don't have the free time, money or patience for that anymore!

[Mooshi]

No one over the age of 10 actually gives a crap about any master race drivel. People play games to play video games. There are some stuff on PC that is amazing just as there are franchises that are console only that I enjoy. (You can't emulate everything properly). The advantages to the PC are that games are cheaper while the platform itself can be more expensive, but that depends on the amount you're willing to invest. People who claim you need to spend 1 million dollars for a good gaming PC are idiots. Like wise are the types that actually have the immature levels to call someone a "peasant" because they are playing a game on a console. This is the dumbest dick measuring contest when it comes to gaming and all parties on the extreme end are annoying.

 

It's simple. Everyone has different tastes in gaming. If there is a game you want badly enough on a platform, you'll play it on that platform. From someone with SLI'd Titans to that person sitting on a park bench playing the latest Pokemon game, we're all gamers. No need to go on some peen measuring contest about it.

[KitsuneJin]

all my friends were into it so yeah

[lookoutbelow]

I never "converted". PC has always been my primary gaming platform, although I did used to play some exclusive games on the X360. This console gen, I don't think I'll own any of the consoles this time, maybe just the DS4 later down the line to play some PC racing/sports games.

Wanted to get a decent BF4 frame rate, got myself a laptop 5 months before it came out. 

[JustTooDank]

I bought a PS4, and gave my brother my PS3 thinking I would never play it again. Barely any games came out for PS4, and I kinda always wanted a beast PC. So I went for it. Glad I did, too.

[Convar]

I always played some PC games throughout the years growing up but I didn't fully convert to PC gaming until 2010 when I decided I just wasn't happy with console gaming and what it had to offer me.Growing up I spent a lot of time playing Doom, Quake 3, Diablo, Diablo 2, Rainbow Six and Counter-Strike so I still got to play some of the best PC games in history. I just wish I had a PC that could properly handle games so I could have played more.

[canadianultra]

I was done with my 360 and deciding  whether to go ps4 or xbone , but I had a couple friends with gaming pc's who convinced me and the rest of my friends to get a pc, now we all game together ands its sweet, + I don't even use my PC for gaming most of the time (its very good for other things aswell)

[Headshot_]

I didn't convert. I was born one. Started at age 3
