Ah but when take into account that the SteamOS is 100% FREE and that OpenGL allows for a vastly superior amount of draw calls vs DirectX, you can almost bet that Valve will release a SteamOS version of a game (HL3?) that is vastly superior to the Windows version in order to showcase the outstanding capabilities of…

You're angry because you're wrong. Just because the next generation of something is coming out doesn't mean the the previous one is obsolete, especially with yearly releases. My gtx 670 will last for another few years keeping games at medium-high settings. Just because the 700 series is out doesn't mean I have to…

Controllers inferior on PC? I'm using my 360 wireless controller on my PC with zero problems. I had even used a PS3 controller on my PC before. Xbox One and Dual Shock 4 controllers will also work on PC so I really don't know where you're pulling out this notion that controllers are better on consoles when you can use…

You can use PS3 and Xbox controllers for the PC, you realize. Not to mention that Steam has made it incredibly easy to PC game on one's TV.

PC gaming is cheaper for a few reasons:

The initial cost of entry for a great gaming PC is always going to be higher than consoles, of course. Better experience, more money, makes sense. But I'm amazed at how people don't stop to think about the cost of running these platforms. For Americans, apparently sticker shock is a worse offense than... actually…

Do you know what the x1 and ps4 are now? Cheap, outdated computers. Their hardware is old, they run their own OS and have memory DEDICATED to that OS and CPU just like a pc. You're paying comparable prices for a weaker system. It's fine if you prefer consoles over computers and don't want to mess with the tech stuff.…

Where does everyone keep getting this RIDICULOUS $1,000 price tag on a standard gaming PC? If you want to go futureproof, dropping otca-core processors in it and SLI video cards; sure, drop a grand on it.

Otherwise, put together something decent for about $600 and outperform the Ps4/XB1 in most modern titles and match…

actually you can build a far better system for 600 dollars assuming that you a. already have a hd tv (which you would have needed to use a console anyhow) and at this point we may be hearing : But this is already more expensive! Hear me out though , how much does each controller cost? Each game? a simple opportunity…

Your point is invalid.

While the PS4 and xbone are both fine and dandy, in the next year they will be easily outclassed by a 600 dollar machine. plus take away 60 bucks a year for PS+ or Gold, which would cost you $400 over 6 years. which is a lot more than it seems it should be at first glance, which means an 800dollar PC (very…

its too bad because in reality they are going to spend more on that console then a gaming rig. Think of the subscriptions and the expensive games and shitty sales they have, plus every time the console fucks up you have to pay $100-150 to get it fixed and that takes a month. I had my ps3 fixed at least 8 times. with…

A PC that will outperform consoles will probably cost you $600-$800. You could spend more and crank it up even further, but if you're just looking for "slightly better looking than a console game" that seems to be a decent price point. You also have to think about the fact that a PC does more, the games can often be…

you can get a pretty decent gaming PC for $500, you never need to drop 1K on a computer just for video games.

The hardware is more expensive for sure, but PC games are tremendously less expensive than their console brethren. The one exception to that rule would be if you're the type of gamer who buys new games brand new on day 1, then you're not saving that much money. But if you can wait until the games are on sale on Steam…

About the same price, maybe a little more if you don't buy anything on sale. Black Friday is right around the damn corner, you can build a compute on par, if not better, for the same price as an Xbox 1 if not a little less if you don't include things like 60 dollar games(Steam winter sale, hello?) and paying for xbox…

You should really educate yourself on PC hardware and prices. This isn't 2003 where everyone feels the need to drop 1500 on an Alienware.

In most of the world PC gaming is cheaper.

Really all this highlights is that they're both using what is already dated hardware in what will undoubtedly be another long and stifled console generation where yet more people turn towards PC gaming for innovation and cutting-edge stuff.

I think the "MOBA" genre went totally undetected under Blizzard's radar. They had so many years to pick up the DotA name but chose to do nothing. Then, when Valve finally picked it up, they went into sort of a panic mode like "Is this going to be the next big thing? Is it? Are we gonna be able to compete for it?",…
