Microsoft reverses stance on XboxOne

[Chimera]

Individual tastes. loved PC gaming when I was younger. stopped caring when I did a lot of traveling... gaming on a laptop? F that.

but someone always has a console. so I shifted over to console gaming. I only enjoy RTS games on PC now. definitely more of a console fan

i could get a gaming computer right now that would play next gen games, have 1tb hd, and you don't have to pay to use your games online for 600$

 

i paid less than 800$ for my i7 gaming rig, but i wanted something nice

 

so...cheaper?  only if you're buying a nintendo.

[Zaximus]

Yeah with the price of the Xbox one, combined with the cost of games (PC gaming is much cheaper, usually cheaper brand new for games and they also get marked down WAY quicker), doesn't make it THAT much cheaper.  I guess a decade ago maybe, but not now.  

 

That being said, there is a place for both.  I prefer sports on console (usually), and a good deal of those games don't even hit PC (although I have put over 100 hours into nba2k13 on pc using xbox controller to play).  Shooters can be fun on there too, especially if you sit all day at the PC for a job and want to sit on your couch to game.  I wouldn't even try a FPS on PC using controller if you want to be the best you can be.

 

But I love PC for the ease of access for Indie games.  For strategy and RTS games.  Etc.

the only game that hasn't come to the pc that i've really wanted to play in the last two years is red dead.   most console ports aren't worth wiping my ass with, and that includes all marquis titles pretty much, Halo, CoD, Madden, garbage garbage garbage

 

i can play fps for free on pc that are better than the slag of poo that is churned out and over-advertised, over-priced, and has paid critics talking about how "groundbreaking" a sequel is that just has some texture tweaks and new filters thrown on top of the same simple ass bullshit

 

if it weren't for PC, none of you little consolefags would even know what a video game is.

 

now kiss the ring bitches

I literally have a 360 with Red Dead on it and nothing else (definitely not any JRPGs no sir)

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Built my PC last year. It kicks fuging ass. Now if only Rockstar wouldn't be such dicks and announce a GTA V port already, I'd have a reason to get rid of my PS3.

 

Glad I abandoned console gaming just in time, theres no fuging way I'm paying a monthly fee for Live or PS Plus.

honestly idgaf if i never play another rockstar game again.   after gta 4 and red dead not getting ported...fug it.  gta 5 would have to be AMAZING for me to bother with it on pc at this point, if its ported.

[C47]

GTAV will be ported, they always port the Grand Theft Auto games.  It won't be until a year after probably, but it's well worth the wait for the mods....

someones going full "PC elitest nerd rage"

You know what's the difference is between Console gamers and PC gamers? Nobody cares about PC gamers

You know this, that's why you're coming into a topic about the Xbox one-80, and start spewing your PC elitest bs, because you feel the need to validate yourself as a PC Gamer being relegated to a nitch market that nobody cares about.

I have a computer capable of playing all the latest games, not everybody does.  Consoles are way cheaper than buying a gaming rig.  Not everybody knows how to build one on their own, and most people couldn't be bothered.  Computers are for porn and consoles are for gaming; learn it, live it, love it.

 

That's the biggest misconception out there right now.  Especially with these latest generation consoles, console gaming is absolutely more expensive.  You have to buy the hardware, pay for games that are more expensive, pay for accounts....they essentially nickle and dime you to death.  There's a reason the industry focuses on consoles - they make a killing off of them.  

 

The concept of a gaming computer is almost all but gone too.  Windows 7 requires hardware accelerated graphics so if you have a machine that can run win7 you can play a huge majority of games out there.  PC gaming isn't about playing the latest game on max settings.  

 

All these arguments are simply outdated.  10 years ago they had some relevance but not any more.
