Are we over reacting, or is PC going to crap over next gen consoles?

Not 3 vs 1

10,000 vs 3

And 3 is winning.

ZombieKiller7

MS, Sony, Nintendo chose their business model. They could have gone Android-style, just release OS+dev tools and leave the device manufacture to HW companies, like they leave the game development mostly to 3rd parties (with the exception of Nintendo).

PC is one platform, it doesn't matter how many brands there are, that's a dumb, naive and pointless argument. We're not in 3rd grade. For all practical purposes, Wintel PCs are one single platform, because you develop your game once.

In terms of quality exclusives this gen PC outnumbers all 3 consoles combined. It crushes any single one. These are the facts. Deal with it.

Ok well you're listing alot of shovelware and "Class C" stuff but I have to ask.

How many aren't MMO, RTS, or somehow another top-down "you must be online" game?

You want to know what I played yesterday?

I finished Enslaved. It was epic.

Just can't get story-driven experiences anymore on PC, it's all top down mush or online mush.

ZombieKiller7

Oh please, not the "MMO/RTS games don't count because I don't like them and they're non-existent on consoles". By that logic I can say "fighting/racing/TPS/sport games don't count because I don't like them".

Wantstory-driven experiences? Go watch a movie. I want my games to be games.

eh, pc will never win anything until everything about them becomes plugNplay and easy as consoles all the way around. Pc will be where pc is now in the gaming world..a niche market.

ActionRemix

explain :)

The gaming PC I built a month ago now bluescreens on startup. I've never experienced hardware failure on a console.

Because you've never built your own console.

[QUOTE="slimjimbadboy"]Why so butthurt?

ionusX

because some of the pc dudes are so silly.

pc hands down crushes consoles 95% of the time and it just seems petty to me that people would brag about it.

lets face it, we all know it is stupid to lump in pc with consoles but we do it so that everyone feels included and that nobody gets left out of all the stupidity.

how do many pc guys react to this generocity? by being insufferable asses about how awesome pc is.

i mean they are basically the awkward kids in the neighborhood that our moms make us play with so no bodys feelings get hurt then proceed to go out of their way to let us all know why special rules exist to let them near us.

how the hell am i supposed to ignore a target rich environment like that?

how i say, how?!?!

tumblr_m02efdOuA41r18wp6o1_500.jpg

i thought i explained it pretty well.

in sw we measure the benchmark versus the mass market consumer product that is based on the benchmark.

it's like comparing the nascar version of a car to the one anyone can go to the dealership and buy.

btw, this is not an attack on pc because i love pc, i just like to throw a little splash of reality on the pc dudes that act like dorks in sw.

Silly as all the graphic threads dedicated to subHD games,

as idiotic as removing a gaming platform from a gaming forum,

oppose to console guys 'debating' the perks of their systems or why consoles wont be crapped on,

Heart of the Swarm can be played offline,just like Wings of Liberty.

And of all those games that you mentioned,most of them are not 2012 releases(including The Last of Us) and the ones that were already released are not big budget titles,so if stuff like Starhawk,Twisted Metal and even a psn title(Journey) count for you,then for the PC games like Planetside 2,Hawken,Firefall,Arma 3,Dota 2, X-Rebirth,Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion,Dead State,Grim Dawn,Path of Exile,Torchlight 2,Phantasy Star Online 2,Shogun: The Fall of the Samurai,Shadowrun,Firefall,Dear Esther,Microsoft Flight,Mechwarrior,Super Monday Night Combat(now PC exclusive),Natural Selection 2,Chivalry,Warface,rFactor 2,GTR-3,among so many other that you can see here,and that´s not even all that´s coming,even already announced big budget titles like Comand & Conquer Generals 2 for next year,so yeah...

Ok well you're listing alot of shovelware and "Class C" stuff but I have to ask.

How many aren't MMO, RTS, or somehow another top-down "you must be online" game?

You want to know what I played yesterday?

I finished Enslaved. It was epic.

Just can't get story-driven experiences anymore on PC, it's all top down mush or online mush.

Do tell wich of these games are "shovelware",or else don´t bother posting nonsense. I want to hear wich ones are shovelware,do tell.

Plenty aren´t MMO and RTS,we have from racing to FPS´s,from TPS´s to space simulations,from RPG´s to even survival horror(like Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs that I forgot to mention,so many games they are),from Mech combat to TBS,and those aren´t even the extent of what PC gaming is getting,so please,it´s not even close.

And games that don´t require internet connection? On the top of my head there´s Fall of the Samurai,X-Rebirth,Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion,Torchlight 2,Dead State,GTR-3,Arma 3,etc.

I see the only way you have to try and downplay the massive PC upcoming games is to merely say,oh,"they´re RTS or MMO,so they don´t count",or "is it online only?". So,not only there´s plenty of variety across genres for upcoming PC games but quite a few of them don´t require internet connection,so your point is moot. Some do,some don´t,and at this day and age,using internet connection as an excuse is quite simply pathetic,the PC was always very strong in the online component of it´s games,so no surprise there.

Let´s play that game the other way around now,shall we? How many of the upcoming console games are shooters or racing games? Now exclude those and see the huge dent it makes on their libraries(off goes Halo,Gears,Resistance,Killzone,Forza,GT,Starhawk,Uncharted and other big franchises lol),it works both ways,so next time you want to downplay something about the PC and specific genres,remember that the same can be made for the consoles as well,and yet you don´t usually see PC gamers saying that shooters or racing games don´t count for consoles,unlike some haters like you try to do with the PC,that alone shows that in order to compete you have to use arguments to make some stuff not count,because if you don´t the difference us massive,and there´s no other way to look at it otherwise.

And you want to know what I played yesterday? DayZ,an experience like no other in the gaming world and only possible on the PC,it´so good that not only boosted Arma 2 sales by a ton but it´s already gonna get an official release when Arma 3 comes out.

Also,can´t get story driven games on the PC anymore? Must be the reason why games like Cryostasis and To the Moon won best story award here on GS on their respective years and why the huge majority of adventure games with actuall good stories are PC only,nice dreamland you´re living on I see.

We'll see. In terms of hardware, no. In terms of games, possibly (i.e. 360 had some solid looking games at launch). PC will outstrip them pretty quickly.

mhm. I think we'll get something on consoles that'll look impressive for about 5 minutes.

Yep, that's what I think, too.

Those are all niche games. Only mainstream games PC got are Diablo 3 and multi-plats.

First of all,that wasn´t even his point,secondly if those are niche,the so is Twisted Metal,Staehawk or Journey(games that zombie mentioned and yet you dont call hi out on that),and finally,you say it´s only Diablo 3 and multiplats that PC has as far as mainstream is concerned(wich tells a lot about you,just focusing on that instead of good games),but there´s also Guild Wars 2,SC Heart of the Swarm,Mists of pandaria or even Command & Conquer Generals 2,among others next year,and this year what big budget,mainstream exclusives do consoles have? Halo 4? What else?

That was exactly the point arach was trying to make and he is right,but you´re one of the few that would actually come and try to disagree with something that apparently evenryone agrees here,but considering your stance on the PC,it´s not surprising at all.

Unless you wanna spend too much and fork over extra cash just to keep up with the latest hardware...

I prefer consoles and handhelds. Standardized and Optimized hardware are the way to go.

Well that depends...are you into gaming because of the GAMES, or because of the electrical components inside a box?

If you want to play games, then there's no reason why you can't enjoy consoles.

The only console game I was "jelly" of was RDR, and that's why I bought my PS3. It's been collecting dust ever since I beat it. And the only game that PC gamers signed a petition to get to PC was Dark Souls, and if you knew anything at all about PC gaming you'd understand why people are upset about it using GFWL.

PC gamers signed one petition, and suddenly it's like a habit of ours? What about when PS3 owners signed a petition to get the team ICO collection onto PS3 in a HD collection? Same idea when you get down to it. We didn't sign a petition for Alan Wake and we still got that, but let me guess that doesn't count cos it's not PS3

Some do,some don´t,and at this day and age,using internet connection as an excuse is quite simply pathetic,the PC was always very strong in the online component of it´s games,so no surprise there.

Let´s play that game the other way around now,shall we? How many of the upcoming console games are shooters or racing games? Now exclude those and see the huge dent it makes on their libraries(off goes Halo,Gears,Resistance,Killzone,Forza,GT,Starhawk,Uncharted and other big franchises lol),it works both ways,so next time you want to downplay something about the PC and specific genres,remember that the same can be made for the consoles as well,and yet you don´t usually see PC gamers saying that shooters or racing games don´t count for consoles,unlike some haters like you try to do with the PC,that alone shows that in order to compete you have to use arguments to make some stuff not count,because if you don´t the difference us massive,and there´s no other way to look at it otherwise.

And you want to know what I played yesterday? DayZ,an experience like no other in the gaming world and only possible on the PC,it´so good that not only boosted Arma 2 sales by a ton but it´s already gonna get an official release when Arma 3 comes out.

Also,can´t get story driven games on the PC anymore? Must be the reason why games like Cryostasis and To the Moon won best story award here on GS on their respective years and why the huge majority of adventure games with actuall good stories are PC only,nice dreamland you´re living on I see.

First off let's get something straight.

Everything "counts" in system wars.

I'm not interested in MMO's because they tend to hijack your life, I've probably spent more hours on MMO's than every console I've ever owned. So when I say Pandara? I'm not getting it. Because I'd like to keep what social life I have left, get enough sleep and not reorganize my life around raids.

So if it's a Mechwarrior MMO, Warcraft MMO, Fallout MMO, Korean MMO, Planetside MMO, Guild Wars MMO, the answer is categorically no.

Looking at the Adrian Werner PC games list is honestly a little bit scary. PC is the platform equivalent of an open-world game that's so huge that you don't know where to go or what road to take, totally unscripted and sandbox, you can get lost for days reading about mods and researching character builds.

Consoles by contrast are amusement parks, where everything is organized neatly into 30 minute rides, and a big arrow says "GO IN HERE AND PRESS X TO SEE SOMETHING COOL." The entertainment is compressed, pre-cooked and served for mass consumption by working adults.

That being said, I've never met an adult PC gamer who wasn't dysfunctional, didn't live with their parents, getting food stamps, or had major responsibilities like kids, a mortgage, a wife, and a career. I'm sure they exist, but I've never seen them.

By contrast I've met MANY adult console gamers who do their workouts on WiiFit or Kinect, play a little CoD, watch a Netflix movie and go to sleep, to juggle challenging careers and family life.

Generally I just think consoles are a healthier lifestyle option, with the side benefit of being able to choose your OS.

Where it concerns "the games" I think console titles like Halo, Uncharted, Gears, Heavy Rain, God of War etc are much more CONDENSED and pack more entertainment into smaller units of time.

PC games like Diablo, WoW, Civilization, Flight Sim, Starcraft etc, these are games that people tend to play for years or decades, you don't get that "BAM!" 30 minute dose to brighten your day before going to the office.

It's incorrect to say I'm a PC hater.

I love it enough to be afraid of it for my health, sanity and long-term happiness.

I don't think PC gamers really respect just how hardcore of a hobby PC gaming is, how ridiculously involved it is, how much time is spent researching, reading, picking mods, how deeply involved you become in the characters and communities and building the perfect rig.

Tired now, write more later.

If you guys aint putting effort into reading, then I'm not putting effort into writing.

I've never heard Jankarcop utter a sentence that sounded like it used more than half a braincell (to be fair that's probably all he has left after being on system wars 24 hours a day.)

I'm not even gonna bother.

Just gonna use strategic "u mad/u jelly/lol you got no games bytch!" like everybody else does.

No hostility.

[QUOTE="campzor"]dont care about having state of the art skynet type graphics. Pc will obviously have the better graphics (as always) but consoles will still be producing amazing games with amazing visualsJankarcop

Easy to say, but once you try 1080p , 60 fps, full aa/af, its hard to go back. Oh and the fact that pc has alot more games, hell...more exclusives than all 3 consoles combined (AA/AAA)

used to be an ex pc gamer, so im well aware of the benefits. But i still enjoyed my ps2 along with my pc back in the day. Its good and all that it has more exclusives than the consoles (combined) but that doesnt mean much when barely any of them interest me and more interest me on the console front :\

Honestly, your responses have been less than stellar, fatty.

heh, y'know, there are many ways to attack or ridicule someone in sw if that is all you can come up with or all the effort you want to put into it.

you can attack the words they say, you can ridicule their names or the things they like from information gleaned from their sigs and whatnot.

you can bring up foolishness from the past or attack whatever fanboy faction they associate with.

but you couldn't do that could you? why? because you don't have the ability to do that do you?

all you have is two attempts to make some sort of an attack on my physical appearance which is pretty useless since there is no way to know anything like that about anyone on here.

i actually feel sorry for you, it must seem like a strange half formed world which surrounds you every day.

people make jokes and you don't understand what they are laughing about, you ignore or ridicule the conversations that go on around you because you don't have enough understanding to contribute anything useful and people may discover your lack of understanding if you speak up.

that must be a pretty horrible existence.

kind of like going through life with a semi-transparent bag over your head where you see vague shapes and outlines but do not quite have the ability to put the whole picture together.

now just to answer your curiosity i'm not fat but if i were a big fat guy you can be 100% certain that i would choose that existence a hundred times over than the one which you are cursed to experience as a poor little guy whose imagination is so woefully limited that all they can come up with is calling someone fatty on the internet.

[QUOTE="YearoftheSnake5"]

Buy a console for the games, not the hardware.

ronvalencia

Recall "Teh CELL" during late 2006... Sony has advertisements that promoted PS3's CELL processor and conveniently ignored PC's GpGPUs.

Sony focused way too much on advertising how powerful their system was, and not enough on the quality of games or how to make the system more affordable for everyone. That launch didn't go over too well, if I recall correctly. The only game I wanted to play out of that launch lineup was Resistence, and when I finally got to play it on a friend's PS3 a year later, my reaction was :|. It wasn't even that good.

PCs will easily surpass consoles in terms of raw power next gen. Maybe not at launch, but soon after because new parts are constantly in development. But that's all irrelevant to whether a console has games you want to play. If it does, who cares how powerful it is. Boo-hoo, it's not as powerful as the latest $5000 gaming rig. It doesn't matter if "Mine's bigger than yours" - pick something you like and have fun.

The thing about a PC is that even when next gen comes along for consoles a PC will have a large backlog of games while the new consoles will barely have anything out.
