This thread is unbelievable, in a bad sense. Unfortunately it's the same with a growing number of threads on GAF. We get a thread about (dis)parity of the two next gens and it takes a milisecond for the PC people to come in and start their song. It really, really needs to stop.
Every sane person knows that a maxed out PC will outperform consoles in any multiplatform game, even if it's a bad port. Nobody questions it, nobody says it's not going to happen. The problem is that a lot of people are now facing a decision to choose a console for the next generation. Specs seem to be very clear and anybody with just a bit of reasoning and understanding of numbers should be adamantly sure PS4 is significantly more powerful. However, there is a large group of people here, including some Microsoft officials, who deny that obvious fact. They even go further as to create FUD and confusion to the contrary of the statement. At the same time, developers can't officially confirm or negate anything because it's against simple rules of running businesses. That's why we need threads about (dis)parity and multiplatform game comparisons. They're not a pissing contest and it's not about who wins. It's about people who may sink a lot of money in a console which will then become a worse choice for them. You can't trust reviews and gaming journos these days because most of them have no integrity and will write anything which brings them more clicks, readers, viewers, likes or whatnot. If you can't trust your fellow GAFfers, we're really done.
Why does the "definite version" quote not include PC? Because the gaming industry is mostly about consoles. PC people should know that they're a minority. A growing, very vocal but still minority. And the way to expand your platform is not by waving your dicks around. This only offends people. When I came here and read:
I thought "why isn't this nickname greyed out yet?" because I'm a PS4 fan and I'm offended. I was called an asshole for no reason, even before I decided to add my five cents. I also have a PC, it runs games fine. But I chose to be a console gamer for my reasons and I refuse to be called names because of my choices. It'd be even worse if I couldn't afford my PC because then it's not only being a dick but also laughing at somebody being poor. And there are lots and lots of folks here who can't afford to "join the master race". Maybe they'd want to but can't. Does it make you feel better, PC community? Because for me it's disgusting.
People like that are doing a huge disservice to the PC community. Why would I want to play games with people like this guy? Add them on Steam? Exchange opinions? Yesterday I saw BF4 beta thread created and I went there to check because it's exactly my interests. What I saw was a total offtopic about PC specs, mouse DPIs and things like that. I come here and I see the same, PC controllers, WSAD discussions and PC people calling others names. If PC users want to show how classy they are, why not stay away from console wars? It won't bring you glory, just more dirt under your nails.
