I am slowly coming to the conclusion that the PC is the way to go moving forward. Bloodborne is tempting, but the PS4 can't even seem to run THAT smoothly. Don't even get me started on the Xbox One. I wish someone would release a console with some power for around $400.

I'm not sure what Nintendo was thinking with the Wii U either, it's got some great games so I leave it alone for the most part, but this year we may finally see a current gen multiplat worth buying and the Wii U will fall even further into it's own niche market.

Wow I've become one cynical fucker. Like back when I realised that the Wii was just an overclocked Gamecube. I felt like I'd been tricked. At least back then I had the 360 (a real console) to turn to.


Have you played bloodborne?  no,

it runs just fine, it rareley drops to 29. And its the best looking game right now imo



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

He's right, PS4's exclusives list (both current and upcoming) is so much bigger than XB1's it's not even fair to compare them.

I think you're missing some important factors here. PC is only good for better performance granted you spend enough.

But the things that we would lose out on with no consoles would not be worth the trade off. The only reason publishers are able to invest in AAA games is because of the console market, look at the PC exclusoves that come out, those are not the games that even need powerful hardware they're all small small budget titles that could run on a PS2. 

Then there's also the fact that we would lose out on a large number of games that come out because console owners fund them so they can make their consoles more appealing to various demographics even if they might be financially damaging by themselves. Sony recently stated that only 4 out of 10 of their games make a profit which is used to pay of the development of the other 6. No company is going to fund projects with that philosophy for the PC. 

So yeah, I think a few drops in framerate are pretty inconsiquential in comparison to all the positives the consoles provide gamers with.

Buy Nintendo and Sony if you are an exclusives focused person is what I think he meant to say. Microsoft isn't on their level yet internally even though they have more studios. They have to primarily pay outside studios to make their games for them. With Sony and Nintendo second party compliments their first party output.

Guy always seems to leave Nintendo out of the equation.

No more PS4 exclusives confirmed...
