Well, I've seen a lot of comments from people here and on GAF who regularly say they will buy (insert xbone "exclusive" here) on PC so there is no need for them to buy an Xbone. Yes, these people do exist and there is no doubt about it. PC gaming has gotten bigger over past years, it seems. Many, many people use Steam nowadays. Of course not all have top-notch hardware, though.

But I still don't get why you are complaining. PS4 is also more powerful than Xbone and face-offs showed this. Should df stop stating the obvious? And why? I guess it's not ok to you if they don't say that PS4 version is better than Xbone's version of a game?


Thats not always the case, a lot of games they run on the same resolution and 2 instaces the xbox won.

I dont see these pc ports as multiplatform games if you dont like pc gaming.

Eurogamer should rather focus on consoles and less on pcs, there are tons of other sites doing benchmarks for various pc hardware and only 1 benchmark site doing it for consoles and they happen to spill more and more pc into their articles and less focosing on the console versions. Its like they have some anti console agenda.

For example they say the ps3 version is 720p but we all know most 7th gen games run on sub-hd, why didnt they proof it again on what resolution older versions were running on? and they left out the 360 which probably run the game also better than the ps3. 


I don't see any problem DF mentioning PC. They could also point out that PC version runs like ass, for example. Especially in comparison to the console version. Also you can infer if a game is CPU or GPU heavy by trying different hardware on PC and then you can conclude why the console version runs like it does.

Add to this, I don't know many other sites that actually compare console games with PC games so they are also delivering something unique with their face-offs. Adding more into a face-off is better than leaving stuff out, in my opinion. You are always free to leave out PC abstracts.
