The social platform on the pc is a joke compared to the consoles.

Well since they announced they weren't releasing any new card sets for the game magic duels, I thought to myself why don't I just restart on the pc just for a challenge. I unlocked all the cards on the xbox anyway and it's not on the playstation either so there I went.

But after somewhat hundred hours on the pc version of magic duels I realized this was not as good as the console experience. When I wanted to send a message to one of my teammates or any of the opponents I couldn't since there was no recent player list for this game. Unheard of for the xbox. I never heard anyone speak either, not a single person all this time, that's zero communication in this game, this while you can have 2 vs 2 matches that last for more than an hour easy.

On the xbox I can't go through a single day without receiving a message in this game, or hear anyone say something for that matter and this while magic duels has way more players on the pc. It seems that the mic that comes in the box does make a difference on the console and that the steam social platform is only a shadow of what the consoles have to offer.

The game was running quite well though but we all know hassle is just around the corner, so this picture is as present-day as ever.

What do you think, is the console better as a social platform or is it the pc?

Console is definitely better for split screen and social aspects.

So you calling me a liar? I know that picture triggers you into oblivion, but just see the comedy of it and look at the topic at hand. Do you know how to bring up the recent players in magic duels, heck I tried to send a message to one of the opponents and couldn't even find the guy. I could have misspelled his name but I doubt it, still I'm not 100 percent sure since I'm not going to write down gamertags to send'em messages, this is 2017.

I really doubt this is the only game as well, the only recent players I saw were from borderlands 2 and I've played other multiplayer games since I played borderlands 2 on the pc.

@commander: No, liars know that they're lying. You're delusional, there's a difference.

And I totally believe you when you said nobody would talk to you, I just doubt it's due to the social platform being lacking.

Also, that image isn't funny, maybe if you're 15. It's just moronic is all.

I seem to recall you posting it seriously, taking a ton of heat for it, and then backpedaling, claiming "it's just a joke guyz, geez". You gonna do the same thing this time?

No idea what you are talking about.

I talk and interact daily with friends on steam and origin

I join and setup games for my friends to join with the press of a button

I use teamspeak to communicate in whatever game I'm playing with my mates

Console gaming requires you to pay to be allowed to play online, so that's already more of a hassle

It isn't a question about willing, it's a question about being able to, of course if you knew what you're talking about you would have realized the difference

I wrote that dialogue myself, If you think this was serious then I can only imagine the horror you must go through when you see a clown.

Works for most games. At any rate, that's not Steam's fault or PC gaming's fault. That's Magic's fault. Maybe you should start a petition. :P

discord is part of the problem.. when someone thinks ventrilo, teamspeak, skype can't solve an issue create more tools to fracture the community more... and all these external tools have their own problem sitting outside of the game so its a more isolated experience. Granted... there are a lot of children on consoles... so maybe it has a use?

Having got into SFV for a week or two now I really appreciate you have absolutely no emotive contact with the other person beyond them able to do an in-game gesture or add you to a friends list. It makes for a pleasant experience, lest you put up with this shit -

How old is that picture? Never heard of Discord? Installing updates...PC does that faster than Console now. Invalid CD Key.....what is this 1995?

PC is much superior as a Social Platform, as it has several times the users on Steam and many more game communities that last much longer. It has many more social communities in general with forums, Reddit, discord, etc. per game. It is very much a more connected and larger online gaming experience.

I like that idea, lets just skip to the conclusion.

from : https://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/is-pc-better-gaming-platform-compared-to-ps-4-this-33389856/?page=6

"Oh wow.

You know, we throw the terms LOL and ROFL around a lot here. But I haven't actually belly laughed this hard in ages.

When I said:

Notice how thus far nobody has backed you up, but numerous folks have supported me at various points?

@commander said:

2) I've only seen one, and he's probably a pc fan too.

@zaryia called your posted image "stupidly fake"

@Maroxad who vehemently disagreed with me on almost everything in several other threads, said "what a ridiculous image"

@the_master_race said "-_____________- my brain cells , my poor brain cells"

@acp_45 says "If this pic is the reason some people aren't getting on their PC's then I'd prefer they just GTFO and stay on their consoles. Where they don't get confused with ip adresses or fricken voice chat software.."

This is the point you backed off, and said "you guys take that image way too seriously"

Next you said:

There's a reason the pc gets less attention than it used to have. Look at the pc hardware forum, it's nowhere near as active as it was 5 years ago.

To which I replied with actual statistics, proving that PC is NOT getting less attention than 5 years ago and said:

Oh, so now because the gamespot PC forum is dead, you've extrapolated that the PC is getting less attention.

This is where you suddenly call my reading comprehension into question, when you know you've been owned 5 ways from Sunday. Moving on.

@commander said:

But the pc lost a lot of it's advantages too, what was the last major exclusive that came to the pc that made console players jealous? crysis?

To which I pointed to 3 entire genres, MOBA, MMO, and RTS (and some turn based strategy) that are nearly absent from console. You quickly dropped this moronic line of thinking to your credit.

Next up.

@commander said:

Also, your extrapollation doesn't make any sense why would the pc get less attention because the pc hardware forum is dead on gamespot. The reason is obviously because it's lacking the exclusives and/or the graphic powerhouses that it got in the past.

Huh? You're the one who tried to use gamespot's dying PC forums as evidence that PC is getting less attention!

@DragonfireXZ95 valiantly came in to rescue me from any further moronic discussion with:

"I wouldn't bother. He's one of those users that can never ever admit to being wrong about anything, no matter how dumb the things he says may be. Lol"

At this point Veronica Valencia comes in, with some irrelevant post regarding Geforce experience crashing. (Geforce experience is a completely optional program that I don't use.) I responded with a pretty trollish response "have you tried turning it off and back on again?" wtf lol.

Queue another Veronica Valencia post, totally irrelevant. Something about testing 3 monitors, etc etc. I respond with:

"Has there been a milky discharge?" Again, complete trollish response from me. Any native english speaker would know this.

Then your buddy Veronica responds to me with this gem of an image.

Implying that he's a girl I guess? Hence why I now refer to him as Veronica. Ironically, I do look sorta like this dude. Just with less hair.

@Dark_sageX:

I'll be straight with you, you would have to be the biggest kind of loser to have taken your time to draw such fake, fallacious and over bloated bullshit. What did you accomplish with this? do you honestly think you are convincing anyone with this?

Not even gonna quote @jereb31 , but he's been here from the start debunking your BS. Especially your ridiculous assertion that console is better because everyone gets a $10 microphone in the box, and people on PC don't always buy one!

Next up, @notconansalt with:

Commander secretly loves PC, but his is old as dirt and he can't budget for a new build at the moment.

Then your little slip up, thinking that people still use internet explorer, which hints at just how long it's been since you've been involved in the PC world. Any "System Engineer", "PC technician" etc would at least know about Edge, nevermind Chrome.

@AdobeArtist comes in next with:

And that's where credibility plummeted like Wile E. Coyote, right at the moment he realizes he ran past the cliff's edge that's 50' behind him ???

rofl, even the mods are owning you now.

Your next gem is:

Does windows 10 magically make you able to manage multiple apps easier than one, because even if you stick em to the taskbar you still have to switch between all those apps if you want to manage your friends from all platforms and voice chat apps.

Uhhh..... what management are you talking about?! You look at the task bar, and if something is lit up, it's running! Just click on it! Hell of a lot faster than switching between apps on a console!

Next you say:

you're the one that said the consoles didn't have any advantages lmao

Even though earlier in the same thread I said:

Consoles are somewhat more convenient, but that image is just loaded with fail.

Then @lundy86_4 came in with:

The fact that people still bother to hold actual debates with Commander just boggles my mind lol.

I didn't bother to count, but I'm pretty sure that's more than one person who has come in here and called your argument ridiculous. Especially with how often you move the goalpost. Now your contention is that "well, console is still the king if you want to control everything just from a controller".

Your only cheerleader is Veronica Valencia, known for posting completely irrelevant shit everywhere he/she goes.

I'm sure he's a smart dude IRL, especially with the speeds and feeds side of things, but if you can't tell from above, his grasp of English and what's actually transpiring is not exactly the best. I'm pretty damn sure he just google searched "shit poster meme" in his native language, google translated it to English, and posted the first image that came up, without realizing it implies he's actually a girl.

So, does that pretty much sum it up? Or is this all a big misunderstanding due to my horrible reading comprehension?"

Not calling you a liar but I sure as hell never had any of these problems you claim and if you are, then this is all on you!
