Subject: Does the average PC player suck more than the Average Console Player?

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

This thread is about BF3 but could apply to other games also.

When I'm watching Videos on YouTube of PC players, usually the person making the video is highly skilled compared to the other players.

But what puzzles me is how the other players can suck so much and whether or not their low ability is related to the high amount of kills that the youtuber gets.

There are parts of the videos where I think, If he was on the Xbox right now those guys would have killed him ages ago.

Before you assume I have no proof, or am a filthy console peasant I play PC and Console. And here is a video to back up my views.

I would get more, but it would take too long to not make much impact on the point.

Most videos by LvLcap contain bits where it seems like the enemy are asleep.

Robbaz, caution mild swearing

What is your opinion on this?

Do you think that the average PC player is worse skill wise than your standard Xboxer?

So is that why the other players seem to die so easily on these videos?

Or is it that M&K is harder to use for them?

It's harder to use a controller in an FPS game imo, so now I think console players suck more than PC players.

Could it just be that the skill gap is higher between PC players?

I find it easier. Dat aim assist.

I personally don't care for skill in videogames.

Would rather play with/against fun people who suck rather than good people who care about how good they are and how good others are.

Probably.

In most newer games, such as BF3, many people buy them for the PC because of the graphics. Many of them simply never learn to adapt from console to PC and fail miserably.

Yep. I remember back in Halo 3 comparing shooting or trying to kill a teammate versus an enemy.

Oh god, it is a world of difference.

I used to be a pretty good player at every xbox game i had, e.g fying,driving,fps,rts etc. However now i am playing games and i actually prefer them because i am actually having to learn new tricks to be players.

Basically it's the play style, not the player

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

Nope, "skill" on PC is more directly related to the rig the person is using. What I find is that PC players are generally better at positioning, leaning very specific tactics, and general game know how, but no nesisarily better at "gun play", though a mouse and keyboard are FAR better for aiming than a controller once you learn how to use them.

Because most gaming rigs are totally different from one another, positioning and team play become much more important in games like BF3 on PC, while on Xbox because everyone typically has the same network and set up, you can do more CoD style running and gunning.

This shows majorly in popular games on different consoles. PC players are known for Counter Strike, LoL, etc. While xbox is known for CoD.
