I’d say he should definitely go for it. There are a lot of games new and old that are on PC. New games all the time that while aren’t the usual AAA flair are really something you wouldn’t notice on console. The console market is quite stagnant, though that might be a problem with gaming at large. However, the PC…

You clearly didn’t play much of Gears 2 or Halo 3.

Never once have I said PC master race. I find the label to be reductive and silly since it was conceived of to make fun of PC gaming elitists. Everything I’ve claimed about PC is irrefutable fact. The PC is better for gaming, the current consoles are under powered and riddled with problems. So, by the same token in…

Or you live in a region where the infrastructure isn’t there yet. I know people that can’t get really solid internet because it isn’t available to them. So downloading countless gigabytes of updates and patches isn’t exactly a simple thing. Even people with good internet still have to sit around for a while before…

You can if you like, though I can’t imagine why you’d want to.

Oh I agree, Hell I don’t want consoles to go away. I love consoles. For all their problems I do like the Xbox One and PS4. It is a lot easier to just set up a box in the living room and play games on it (after hours and hours of updates :/) I just think PC is the better platform and consoles need to try to be consoles…

What the hell are you talking about? Driver hell? Just keep them up to date and it’s good. Most games run just fine on PC. You can’t tell me every game is guaranteed to run on consoles considering games like Assassin’s Creed Unity have shipped broken across all platforms. Even some of the bad publishers like WB or…

Yeah, it responds faster because the frame rate isn’t locked at 30FPS. the whole thing is smoother and more responsive.

To say this console generation is weird is a major understatement. It’s downright chaotic. Between Microsoft (and Sony before backing out of the idea) wanting the console to be always online and restrictive to the absurd and insulting PlayStation Now trying to put a premium on backwards compatibility it’s been a…

Same here, friend. Crazy considering the game came out midway through 2015 and never left my frequently played games even to this day.

Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear enough. I was simply speculating about how much of the loss of console sales was due to people jumping ship to PC and staying there like I and many people I know did. Wasn’t looking to get into any analytical discussion with charts and graphs.

Yeah, that is really annoying. Like, I get it, some publishers are scared off by the whole PC thing after all those botched ports and the difficulty of making games work across endless customized machines. But at the same time, that is a huge market they are just ignoring out of fear.

I think that is what sets DOOM apart from a lot of other action games. It isn’t afraid to make their bad ass demon slaying space marine seem cute.

Frame rate, less loading time and stability. PC games tend to just function better because they aren’t restrained by dated console architecture. Even older PC hardware is still better than what is in the current consoles.

Well, if they can get the windows store to not be absolutely terrible, yeah. Seriously, their client for gaming really is pathetic. The same game running on Steam performs and looks better. I agree though, Microsoft kind of shot themselves in the foot on that one.

It’s not that common, though it’s best to wait on AAA releases for a first patch if it comes from certain developers. For example, don’t even bother with games on PC if they come from Warner Bros., they are notorious about piss poor PC ports even before Arkham Knight. However, The big deal cases like Arkham Knight are…

They can play them, just locked at 30FPS, usually not 1080p, have long load screens and bugs aplenty. All things PC usually doesn’t have to put up with.

I don’t doubt their better off than the PS3 and 360 at that point, the trouble is technology only ever goes faster, it doesn’t slow down and it is abundantly clear that the xbox one and PS4 are struggling to keep up. That said, yes, the PS4 is selling remarkably. It deserves to as well. It is objectively the best…

Definitely, I know people who were upset with me because I got Titanfall 2 on PC instead of Xbox. I feel for them but Most of my friends are on PC and I don’t want to get a game to play with one person only sometimes. It’s a real shame that nobody has really embraced cross platform play, especially since so far the…

This is how I felt about most games last year. It is incredibly hard for me to pin down one I liked the most because for the most part none of them were truly incredible. There was some great stuff like Doom, Dark Souls 3, Inside, Titanfall 2 etc. But there wasn’t a Last of US or Witcher 3 this year that really stood…
