Forums - Microsoft Discussion - If Microsoft puts halo 6 on PC I'm switching to pc

I feel like the majority of PC-Only gamers are people who got a bad console experience from MS and now think that all consoles are that way.

That would be great, then you wouldn't have to tell us 10 more years how you are an Xbox gamer which like nobody seemed to believe on VGC the last ten years.

Pssshhh, I remember the days when he was a strict 360 defenseman. * Sorry S.T.A.G.E., had to do it!

Regardless, play nice :)

LOL...No worries. Theres a bigger picture here. I dont think he realizes that Xbox no longer has anything to do with a console. Thats the problem. Plus...if I switch to PC i dont have to pay for live anymore.

I'm not super confident that Halo 6 is going to be that good...so I don't know if I'd change platforms just yet.

Halo and Gears is all Microsoft has and they have not has a compelling new IP since 2006 so....thats eleven years. Gears has already jumped ship to PC with higher resolution in general.  They cant replace a heavy hitter without scouting out a dev who is already in development and bag their titles exclusivity. Look at how they got Halo and Gears. They scouted out devs mid development. The plan that Microsoft failed to unfold last gen with Windows live resurfaced again with Windows 10 Xbox and instead of Just halo coming over to PC they threw all of the major first party on the ship.

ITS SO FUNNY because think about it, how many PC gamers would NOT own a ps4 if the ps4 games where also on PC, thats right a TON of them.

Personally I like collecting physical discs, thats why I own most consoles but for many of the people who I game with on PC they own a PS4 for the exclusives.

The honest truth is PC gaming is always better and its great that xbox games are coming to pc because now people get the freedom to play them the way they want instead of a company designing a box they like or don't like and lock the games behind that box.

Cheaper games. Free online. Custom hardware. Upgrade whenever you want. Best backwards compatability. Play with whichever controller you like best.

Yes. PC GAMES IS AMAZING you should switch

This pulled mat deh heart strings. Thank you Microsoft for making it so easy to return home. :)

Come back to PC, i did.
Believe i only ever owned five games for the PS4, never played. I tried, but my gaming history is pretty much PC, PC and PC.

I'll be PC, PS4 and Nintendo. Most reliable platforms for constant games.

Edit: I really don't mind that everything on Xbox One is also on PC. It was similar in the OG Xbox days. Some of my favorite Xbox games were Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry Instincts (a modified port of Far Cry), KOTOR, Morrowind, etc. It was just hassle-free and convenient to play the games on the couch, even if they were available elsewhere.

The problem now is that these PC games are also on PlayStation, and those that aren't — like Halo 6   probably won't be very good. So, as a console gamer, I have fewer and fewer reasons to invest in Xbox.

Also... the original Xbox was more powerful than PCs when it came out. Discounting the mouse advantage, was literally the best place to play those games.

The Nvidia boss stated that it was mid to late PS2 gen PC became king.

That's a bold assumption.

Pros: There are 6-8 good current gen strategy games for it like Civ VI, Endless Space II, etc. It's the best place to play indies since they are so much cheaper than the console versions, and Indies are usually digital only. 

Cons: Digital Only, Limited library of modern games, Complicated and annoying to deal with, mouse/keyboard is uncomfortable, but needed for a lot of games, ridiculously expensive hardware for minimal graphics returns, hardware isn't worth anything five years down the road, and fails shortly after that. 

Things I don't care about: Graphics, Backwards compatibility (I already own everything since the dawn of time), Mods.

So it's absically worth a lot less to play on PC than console?.


I know you could come up with a counter, but the cons you've listed clearly outweigh the pros. Really it's your general opinion on what you think about PC. I don't think it's objective to say everyone had a bad experience with Xbox and dislike all the other systems, there are people out there who just don't like consoles and like gaming on PC. I've been doing fine so far with my 3DS for handheld gaming and PC for what I want for everything else.
