the reason bioware fails to measure up these days is because they stopped making rpgs for rpg fans and started making action games that try to have something for everyone

The thing is if one does decide to play the original game later, then it's a bit of a let-down as you're going from better to worse. And that initial struggle is kind of what makes that power-gaming later on all the sweeter, knowing you started as a level one who could barely take down a kobold and ending as what you…

Alternate to The 6 steps to play it in 2013:

The reason is called "creative freedom" and "making the game he wants to make". Instead of bending ass over backwards for everyone who doesn't want that kind of game. Don't like it? Don't play it. No reason to shame a creator for making something you don't like, just move on :S

The only thing you've demonstrated with this comment is not 'why PC gaming sucks' but instead that you're completely ignorant on what modern PC gaming actually entails.

Do you not realize that the PC has exclusives of its own? Exclusives that go back decades?

His extra $1,600 are none of your concern so what exactly is your point?

yes sadly Kotaku has become the place where I've come to expect to see socially sensitive aspects of the gaming world grossly over analyzed to the point that its boring. And yes I am thankful when an author tastefully avoids making a pariah out of a developer because they aren't politically correct enough for the…

you're turning this into an argument i'm not making. Skyrim and GTA exist because of PC because....THEY WHERE PC GAMES! Gta came out on PC before console, elder scrolls came on PC before consoles. If it wasn't for their popularity on PC console publishers wouldn't of bothered with them. What consoles do is significantl…

Yes we do, the PC as a gaming platform is built on the idea that its a completely open platform with no gatekeeper. You gotta take the good with the bad.

"because with superior graphics comes FAR superior gameplay"

A PC is a workstation, and not a toy. Gaming is optional. You can practically build an equivalent price range PC while doing more for less. You can even play Source engine games on high settings with the latest integrated APUs by AMD. That's exactly the same engine that's on Titanfall. The only difference with the…

The first is a developer for a game coming out on the One as well. The second is a developer who, while working on a PS4 game, works for a company that makes games on every console. Only the last matches your description.

They're missing on a fabulous opportunity by not releasing this on PC.

The business model is a completely different topic. I'm talking merely on a technical level.

You're assuming that's the only reason I spent the $2,000 on a PC — which it isn't.

I think this is because with indies, everybody on the team has a stake in the success. Not only that, but they all assembled for the game in mind, rather than being recruited, and therefor are already more passionate about it from the start. Completely different mindset and, as you said, it shows!

Holy shit, those fields have plants. Many plants. Like a realistic amount of plants. You can almost see ever individual vegetable that you'll later get out of it.

Totally agree with that. If I had to get rid of all my gaming systems except one, I'd keep my PC, partly for its power but mainly because of the sheer number of games available for it and its excellent 'backwards compatibility'. Being able to play just about any game from the last 30 years, and play the latest ones at…
