Yes back in the day it was easier you pop in the cart and go. Now you pop in the disk wait a few min for install, than a few more (depending on connection speed of course) for the patch, console installs patch sometimes restarts then your good. PC you have to do ALL of that, then you have to deal with downloadeding a driver for your video card because the game has issues supporting crossfire, then there is bugs that cause things to just crash (happens on consoles too, but mostly rare). Not to mention virus (which I have never gotten on a console).
So basically is game to game, Skyrim is the best example I can use because I had it for PS3 then traded than in and got the PC version, that specific game was 10x better on PC(MODS!, better graphics, no load times, and the list when on) Battlefield 4 is an opposite example, hated it on PC. Much better on PS4 IMO. |
SKyrim is the perfect example of a PS3 game that would be unplayable (at least for me) without the patches. Imaging trying to play skyrim 10 years from nwo when you can't get the patches. That is why I personally feel the way gaming has gone the extra pain of PCs almost outweight the ability not to save your patches.
It be a simple fix for consoles. just give users more freedom to backp their downloads to external and all is well.
