i like playing old console games on my pc. using an x-box controller is great on pc

Moving and aiming with two analog sticks is actually MUCH easier than with a mouse/keyboard.

How? Shooters are all about precise aim. Moving a mouse with your whole arm and hand is much closer to aiming a gun than twiddling your thumb around.

You probably also think people who play Candy Crush are real gamers.

If you play video games you are a gamer. If you unironically use the word "gamer" you are a loser nerd .

I know you're a troll but on the off-chance someone doesn't know a lot of games like platformers and 3rd person action romps really do control better with a controller., so you get the better control and still have all the awesome customization/optimization options of a PC.

Which is a big part of the reason I am so pro console now. PC Gamers are the worst.

Another Console pro: game sharing. Can't really do that with PCs any more.
Ultimately, for me, playing a game sitting on a couch is a lot more fun than sitting at a desk. Playing on a 55 inch screen is better than a 24. Playing with surround sound and a nice subwoofer is better than with my, very nice, computer speakers.

Also, I can play GTA V. And Journey. And Nintendo games.

That is true, but the Formula One drivers and fans don't go around bitching about the definition of "driver." They're secure enough to let their niche and expertise speak for itself. That's the difference.

I'm dead serious. I'm tired of casuals and their lovely consoles ruining my once great hobby.

PC games from the late 90's were massively better than anything now in all ways other than graphics. Gaming has gone down the tubes thanks to casual loving idiots. It seems like some developers want to try to recapture that PC golden age magic, Bioshock Infinite being a good example. But it's hard when you have to contend with the mouth breathers with their thumbsticks.

Half-Life, Homeworld, Total Annhilation, Deus Ex, Freespace 2, and System Shock 2 poo poo all over all recent games. And we have casuals diluting the hobby to thank for that.
