The way this ridiculous convo is going is funny....

Should I buy CoD, BF, TF on PS4, X1 or PC?
- Buy on PS4 or X1 depending on which console you own. They have much bigger usercount than PC on these titles.
-But DOTA and CS are bigger and striving on PC.

Why would anyone buy game X to play because game Y is big on that platform with X being small? It makes no sense.

When did anyone mention a Moba game at all?. Let alone CSGO?.

You make it sound like anyone playing any of those games on PC aere objectively insane or stupid.

That's the part I find most funny.

No, I have not made any remarks towards the type of gamer that play both games. I have made it so that there is no relevance to say other games have big fanbase on a platform and the game you want is small fanbase there as a justification to buy that game on the small platform.

That sounds very sad. lol




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Since everyone is making assumptions, I'm going to assume that Sony did this. Since they have all these deals with Activision, this was a hookup. 🙄 Go ninja, go ninja, go!!

How about "buy on whichever platform you like to play on because any option is fine"?

First 2 titanfalls have tiny numbers.  all latest cods for years have been tiny.  nearly all Dice games don't have big numbers.  varying from tiny to barely respectable.  

 

Cod in future will be fine on ps4. point is no matter how bad they get the experience will always be greater on ps4 in terms of active servers. it's already much better on BF1 and that just came out.  we got a ton more viable options when it comes to picking servers that are full. 

If the second Titanfall has tiny numbers on all 3 platforms, then that is very dire indeed.

What people get from enjoyment is not in the quantity of servers.

Making it so other games cannot be mentioned, does not make a good argument. It's actually trifling to just pin down 3 games and then pin a single platform and say "wow that entire platform is bad for said games", when there are clearly other options out there and other factors not being taken into account (like this site will ever want to discuss them).

Small platform?.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Terrific. Sad that none of them choose it.

And yet there are 5 options that have already been chosen and are already being used.

ITT we learn some users have no fucking clue what a "ghost town" online is. LOL @ a current player base of 31k being somehow bad.

People long since banned from this site used to talk about how Titanfall was a ghost town on Xbone and yet even with only 2k people online at times, I never struggled to find full games in modes that weren't even the most popular. Has nothing to do with userbase, all that really matters is how strong your matchmaking is :)

Also, comparing the PC to console userbase is silly because PC users have many many many many many more options at their disposal.

"Those who opted to purchase from the Windows Store found a pretty big surprise. They can only play with other people who bought the game from the Windows Store, and for those unaware, not many people really buy games off of the Windows Store."

Wow that is a beating.

"Activision split the player base significantly by separating Windows and Steam players".

Did Activision make that decision? That absolutely seems like a Microsoft decision. Why would Activision shoot themselves in the foot like that?

Why would either of them shoot themselves in the foot like that?

Exactly. Not sure who is at fault here but it needs to get fixed. Not for me but for the gamers I'm not into COD.
