Civilization is one of those games that I hear about, I see, and I have absolutely zero interest in. It's just one of those boring RTS that try to cash-in on Starcraft popularity. I'm aware Civilization came first... But the RTS genre was made popular by Starcraft. 

Fair enough. This isn't about your personal opinion tho. CIV V sold probably somewhere between 7 and 9 million now, better than 95% of PS exclusives, so it's a popular franchise. Also, you either dont know what an RTS is or what genre Civ is.

Total War falls under that same classification. 

Above. Doesn't sell as well but still has a decently large fanbase.

Starcraft is genuinely good, but I can live without it if I have to pick between it and Bloodborne or Smash.

One of the most played games.

LoL is actually my response to LoL. It's a Moba, and by default shows up on my radar as "skip". I understand a lot of people like it, but a lot of people also like CS, but I'll get to that. 

Literally the most popular game in history.

Diablo, another good one. But also one that I can play on console, so moot point.

true.

Counter Strike... All I can do is sigh. I mean, it's a sickening addiction. If we were to liken FPS to drugs, CS would be a very hard drug... It would be the meth of shooters (with CoD/Battlefield being different rival beers and Halo being marijuana). It's the kind of thing that you should be scolded for suggesting to someone. 

personal op

Never played XCOM. It showed up on my radar, and then I dismissed it. Never looked back. 

personal op

Wow, are you actually suggesting WoW? That's worse than the CS suggestion.

personal op

Which Warhammer? I lose track, considering they try and fail to make a good one so often.

personal op

Star Citizen will have my attention when it has lightsabers. Until then, it's a smaller NMS that takes itself too seriously. 

If you're referring to no mans sky I'm gonna have to assume you're on at least half a dozen tabs of acid right now mate. SC is one of the most ambitious and expensive games ever made.

You miss out on many AAA titles, third support is NOT better there (third party being legitimate and established publishers), and you get the bad indies not good enough to jump to PS4. Mods are mostly buggy and, for the most part, overrated bits of software that ruin the original game. And MOBAs aren't worth a gaming PC, especially since none of them require one.

This whole paragraph is a crass and vomit-inducing display of ignorance. 

So PC gets the best indies first, sometimes years in advance? I would take that on its own, though I don't concede that just "the bad indies" don't come to PS4. That's just a convenient outlook for you but not at all true. 

I guess the counter strike mod ruined half life. Most mods I download aren't buggy, maybe you've had a different experience. 

PC is the default for people who insist on having the best graphics.

This point is always overstated, I consider it a small benefit. I consider the better performance a larger benefit.

Console, in the case PS4, is for people who are logical about how much they spend on their gaming.

I've literally spent like £600 on gaming specific upgrades for my PC over the last 7-8 years, that includes a gtx 970 which will max out most anything. I spent more buying PS3 and PS4. Games are cheaper on PC due to better sales... and torrents. In my case the value for money is actually better. If you buy some prebuilt £1000 monster and insist on triple screens and a new mouse every 6 months than your experience may differ, but thats really not neccessary. 



You also seem to have forgotten that this started from my preference for Nintendo exclusives over PC exclusives, meaning this whole thing is stemmed from my personal opinion (which you seem to be arguing).


So in the end, all the "personal opinions" you dismissed have a lot more weight than not. Somewhere in trying to defend your preferred platform, you forgot what you were discussing.
