There's 2 games in the top 15 that aren't mtx infested lmao, you're full of shit
Played by the younger demographic. Are you naturally this dense or did you have to work really hard to achieve it?

Games made in the 89s, 90s and early 2000s are the best games, only found on PC. If Sony allowed PS1 and PS2 emulation of their library then you'd have a point with consoles. Until then, keep avoiding quoting me so that I don't school you.

When did I say they were leaving in droves for PC, or even cared if they do?
This generation of gamers are retarded who like retarded games.
I like shit from older generations that are only found on PC.



Maybe spend your time learning comprehension not trying to get gotchas on nobody-posters on an internet forum.

That is a think with dozen marketing researches already.

The new generations doesn’t like consoles… they don’t like PC either… they like Mobile.

But that is not just for games.

Anybody that has kids at home knows they prefer to watch kids shows on Smartphone than TVs… a lot of times they just stop watching on TV to ask to watch the same thing in the smartphone.

You were saying? Trying to force your view onto someone else if they don't obey is better behaviour in what way exactly?

Let's just agree to disagree and keep this topic on point? Can we maybe agree on that?

If you want to keep discussing this, you are free to DM me. :)
Oh and your Veteran status means jackshit to me. It's a bunch of letters that only hold value to you. No-one else. Enjoy stroking your E-peen.

At least something we can agree on. Just fucking finished Alley Cat. Way harder then I remembered...
Captain Comic is up next.

And yes people tend to buy the same stuff over and over and never try someting else. Hell even I was guilty until I went back to PC and discovered a treasure chest of possibilities. I'm now playing games of all gens on pc (In VM, DosBox what have you) and trying new games. Indie or just genres I never touched.

But a lot of people like the comfort of knowing what's to come. There are games for any time of gamer. Will I be waiting for Far cry 12? Fuck no!
But I bet other people will be.

Honestly, the only reason to go to PC is Steam Sales and the prospect of 4K/144Hz

Other than that i think consoles offer a better experience overall.

PC has:

- Free online
- Mods
- Best chat systems
- Biggest library of games
- Activity feed where you can show your friends your screenshots, what you have bought, recently earned achievements
- Family sharing
- Use whatever controller you want
- Cheats (trainers, cheat engine)

Difficulty for consoles to beat all that.

Great find. Steamlickers in ruins. But it goes to show you how one lie from Phil Spencer can take hold as the truth for the mentally feeble among us. The purple forum is a great example. All they do is parrot how consoles are dying and how the new gens don't care about them.

Yeah, some pretty good positive points on PC.

What i like on consoles is how easy is to play on them

But they beat that by just having the games work.

Yeah this is what made me jump platform. I switched from pc to console around 2009 and just got back into PC this year.

So far I've experienced:

- A true VR experience with Half Life Alyx and Auto Mobilista 2 with wheel
- Playing a modded Max Payne 3 with custom textures, John Wick mod, weapons mod, scripthook trainer etc
- Started using a mic again using Discord
- Capturing gameplay clips and editing them
- Playing childhood games again like Commander Keen, (Brutal) Doom, Alley Cat, the library is endless
- Building custom shaders using ReShade
- You choose your horsepower
- Full Ray and path tracing/ HDR/ DLSS

Etc, etc.
It is A LOT more expensive then consoles but then again much more scalable to find the balance between wallet and performance.

But consoles also have a certain charm to them. If I go on vacation, I wont be packing my rig..... And you know you're good to go for a few years.
With pc's your stuff is almost absolete before you finish installing Windows with all it's updates.

Discord works on consoles now btw
PS5 has share screen features so you don't need to fiddle with streamlabs or OBS to share gameplay with friends
Cheats is not a positive, get good

One advantage you didn't bring up on PCs is ultra widescreen aspect ratio and multi monitor

Also you can get adblockers for youtube on pc

Price is the biggest thing going agaisnt PC Gaming. If you want the best machine possible you will probably be spending around 6-8 thousand dollars on a machine

Yeah I consider my rig being a bargain. Got a rig with an Asus Maximus board, 32GB or Corsair Dominator, an i9 10900k and a 2070 Super for 750 euros.
Damn thing has water cooling and everything.

Ended up selling the 2070, which was a founders edition for 250 and bought a new 4070 Super. 4070 was 650 I think, so a grand total of 1150.
