Stupid move by the devs putting that trophy in there, especially given the anti-sexism campaign that's been going on in the gaming world over the past year or so.

@dude102 @The_Beanster @KimCheeWarriorX Sounds like you did things the smart way - time your PC upgrade with the middle of console cycles.


You get much better bang for your buck timing your upgrades with the middle of console lifespans than you do timing it around console releases.

@dude102 @The_Beanster @KimCheeWarriorX If your CPU is decent, yes.

@KimCheeWarriorX Wow you have great grammar for someone less than 8 years old, because the Xbox 360 and PS3 were more powerful than most gaming PCs back in 2005-2006.


As always, the keyword is "most". No console has ever been, or ever will be, more powerful than a high end PC at launch.

Sooooooooooooo much troll bait and sooooooooooo many fanboys here.

#1) Most people don't have gaming PCs more powerful than the PS4, so this article - while troll bait - is technically correct.

#2) But... the PS4 is a total joke compared to a current high end PC

#3) Both consoles and PC have their own great exclusives and reasons to play - if you have a preference for one or the other it is PURELY a preference. There is no such thing as "console gaming > pc gaming" or "pc gaming > console gaming" any more than red is better than blue.


Almost all discussion not along those lines is some form of fanboy/troll/uninformed discussion.

@Jerrytje You just made a bad purchase for gaming. You most certainly do not need to upgrade often. I built a rig in 2007 based around an 8800 GTS 320 - the whole rig cost about $600 and it was still playing new games - INCLUDING skyrim - at console settings or better until last year when I upgraded.


You just should have spread that $1600 into a pair of very good $800 desktop builds (one now, one in a few years when it's obsolete) rather than on a crappy gaming laptop.

@Jerrytje Gaming laptops are horrendously overpriced for what's actually inside. A 6650M is a horribly low end GPU that definitely isn't going to be able to do what current gen consoles can do.

Either buy a desktop or buy a console... laptops are just about the worst gaming devices out there from a value perspective.

@Jerrytje Your mistake was buying a laptop. People buying gaming laptops are doing it wrong.
