Yeah, that is the major downside to PC gaming. Learning about all of the parts and how they function together is one thing, but dealing with ever-prevalent issues is a major pain in the ass.Foliorum Viridum said:

It's true.The M.O.B said:
Every platform has 'must play' titles. The easy option is to own them all, but I think the hardcore PC community who turn their noses up at console games are missing out on exceptional games, just as the opposite is true.
EDIT: Have some self restraint for fuck sake.

What the hell is wrong with you people?! Can't we have both PCs and consoles?! Or at the very least ignore what other people prefer and not insult eachother?! You are behaving like a bunch of immature school children.
People have different tastes and like different things. I prefer console games because in my opinion they have better exclusives and there is a better support from Japanese developers on consoles. For multiplatform games and shooters I mostly use my PC.

With game patches, mandatory firmware updates, finicky hardware, required installs, DRM, and cd-keys now on consoles, the disparity between ease of use between PC and consoles has come a lot closer together.

One thing that doesn't get mentioned enough is the huge difference in PC and console viewing angles. It's like comparing a living room to the IMAX. In fact, the viewing angle is larger than most IMAX seats. People are so concerned about IQ on the PC because it actually matters a lot at those angles.

I have 2/3 (no Wii, sorry) , and only look down on the walled garden practices , p2p and obscene pricing and xbox live, but not the games.Stallion Free said:
I love bayonetta and gt5 and like wipeout and metal gear online. (I bought them for the exclusives, I loved all the good stuff on ps2 and xbox 1).
This thread is full of people turning their nose up at pc gaming for no reason though.
That being said, if those exlusives were on pc too (so no longer exlusive) I'd buy them on pc instead in a heartbeat.
Consoles have lost most of their advantages (objectively) like split screen support (fuck you dirt and pure and a ton of other games), stable framerates, no bugs, pricing and traded them in for load of bullshit.
I really hope the next gen takes a good look at this gen and amends those things, but if not I am done with them.
As I get older, games get less important to me, and I can't justify paying 300-500 euros again at launch + 60 euros per game just to be able to play the few games I want that I can't find elsewhere.
