The endless debate for console...

When you have to bring up the added expense of a ****ing keyboard and mouse (controller), maintenance to tower (a ****ing $2 dollar can of compressed air/maintenance to console), cost of a monitor (tv), cost of a chair (wtf do you do? stand when you play your console?), the 5 or so ports that wont make it to pc (vs the hundreds that wont make it to console), the benefit of reselling a game for $20 less than you bought new (vs buying a game for $5 on steam sale) you just know that you are hopelessly looking for a reason to justify spending $500 on a pos system that was mediocre in 2010.

Have fun with that shit for the next 8 years, bud.

Meanwhile, in another 2 years or so, I'll spend 1/5 of what you spent on that pos to upgrade my PC, that already shits on the PS4 and XBone, with a shiny new GPU that will extend the life of my computer til the next console release, and it will shit on that console too and it will be 5+ years old.

Calm down. I never said PC was bad, it's just pricey.

And while your feverishly updating video card drivers and scouring message boards trying to figure out why your game keeps crashing to the desktop, I'm sitting on my couch actually PLAYING GAMES.

Sorry. I'm not computer illiterate, my games dont crash.

"feverishly updating drivers"... it takes more energy to register an account on this site than it does to update a driver.

TBH, doesn't happen.

The fact that you made that statement, shows that you really don't understand.

Feverishly updating drivers? Come on, that's just silly. So is the idea of PC gaming crashing so much it would interfere with playing time.

TBH, I haven't played a PC game since Windows XP. And yes, it was common back then. There's hundreds of forums with millions of posts dedicated to such things.

Well XP was released 13 years ago. So yeah, things have changed a bit.

I haven't upgraded video card drivers in over a year. I've been PC gaming for over 20 years, and I've never heard anyone who considered upgrading drivers to be a serious drawback to PC gaming. You're being overdramatic.

How about this then?

Diablo 3, which I have played on PC and console, is flat out SUPERIOR on console.

Since when did PC gamers become such bigots? When they started to feel like they're pastime was dying?

That's ok.

By the time Diablo 3 was released on console no one gave a **** about it because it was the biggest pos hack'n'slash to come out in a long time.

People on PC just moved on to PoE. How's that compare on console?

Why do you think it's flat out superior?

Well, if you knew anything about D3, they totally ****ed it up. Then, for console release they decided to try an experiment. Everything in the console version is INFERIOR except for the loot 2.0 rules. In fact, console would never have worked in the original D3 loot model because of limitations of consoles/online functionality. So yes, the experiment worked, and the PC version will be similar starting in April. And the reason it is superior is because of gameplay design decisions, and not that 'console rocks man!'


And pastime dying? You have got to be kidding me! No, its because people have been writing that line for the past 10 years while PC has gained more market share, and is plain better, yet we have to listen to people don't know what they are talking about take potshots at us~ Kind of like preachers shitting on scientists. The reality is, the people saying 'your pastime is dying' and OMG CONSOLES ARE BETTER, really just don't.have.a.clue.

On top of that, you came in the thread, what did you expect? Thread title explains it all. I started this thread so that people wouldn't shit in the console threads, and have for the most part, done that. So don't be so mad.

not even close

I don't update my PC more than my XBox does when it says 'you must update or you will be unable to connect to xbox live' etc.

most of my PC updates are 1-click as well
