Games like Crusader Kings 3 and Medieval Dynasty are about as far from casual / childish / streamer culture as you can get. Those are some quality neckbeard games.

What's in the August NPD for consoles? Sports, sports, COD and five Nintendo games including one released 3.5 years ago.

To each their own.

Also enjoys great games, whether they be A, AA, AAA, ZZ, 69, ETC
Except Sony exclusives, fuck those overrated, cinematic pieces of crap.

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
Why are people so insecure about where others choose to play games? What the actual fuck is even the point of this thread? Grow the fuck up, play what you want where you want.

Some specific people have some exclusive games in their walled gardens and are mad about other people enjoy other games than theirs.

This is salty on a high elite scale.

Haven't gone anywhere. Currently playing Dragons Dogma at 4K 120hz with modded 6K AI upscaled textures.
Being a PC master was always about customization options.
Not really. PC master race was always about playing games console peasants could not handle/get. By now it's just about playing the same games with higher framerate and slightly better IQ - minus the HDR.

And yet it's currently being outsold by fucking Fallout 76 on US PSN. I don't think the average Playstation owner's tastes are quite as refined as you'd like them to be.
No lies detected.
Thankfully it sold at least 4 million copies in the first few months though, so a sequel should be granted.

How is it such a shit game (according to Sony Bros) as Sea of Thieves is still always in the top 10, but one of the hallowed Sony exclusives are?

Yes, but they're ultimately still console games with enhanced textures, framerate, and everything. The foundation of the game mechanics is a console experience.

Yeah and I value having that level of customization. I like controlling the FOV and removing shit I despise like film grain, vignette, motion blur, dynamic resolution, and chromatic aberration. I control the experience.
 
PC gaming is closer to mobile gaming these days.

Filled with mobile games and fortnite derivatives and waiting for years for the next CDPR game or a port from consoles.
Fucking funny because I swear that I played the "Best PlayStation Console Exclusive" and "The Best PS4 Game" (according to official Sony PlayStation blog) of 2019 on my PC earlier this summer.

Fair enough. At least make the game tolerable.

Still according to PC gamers, I'm pretty sure PC oriented games like Thief 2 and the original Deus Ex are exulted, unrivaled to this day.

I covered that... I said... 'waiting for a port from consoles'.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife

Imo, no, their gameplay was shit and it's shit today.

But if we are talking about depth and possible aproaches to gameplay, those game piss on everything else thats new, may it be on PS5, PC or whatever.

No, you said "waiting for years for the next CDPR game or a port from consoles".

You also said that PC gaming is closer to mobile these days and that's the stupidest thing I've heard all day. And I just finished watching remarks from Joe Biden.
Hey, look at the chart. Looks pretty close to mobile gaming to me. Why do people need a 3080 for anything there?
It's such a joke.

It's always funny to me the main argument is PC doesn't have exclusives like playstation so it's a useless platform. So I guess the other 99% of the 3rd party games I play during a year that all have a day and date PC port simply don't exist?

I play probably 2-3 playstation exclusives a year and absolutely love them. But for all the other games I want the best experience possible, not a gimped experience. For exclusives I'll play on PS5.

Why do people on this forum assume most stick to one platform and therefore inevitably miss out on potential exclusives? Most of my friends including myself have always had each console plus a gaming PC. Console for exclusives and everything else on PC since with a high end PC that is always the superior experience.

Maybe stop focusing on what general public is consuming and focus on yourself?

It's just such a stupid way of looking at things.

"I'm not going to buy a nice stereo system because mumble rap and Cardi B is dominating music charts".

Listen to yourself.

Ridiculous. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

No but either you don't know the full story behind you argument or you're ignoring it on purpose.
Knowing you haven’t played it, i can only assume what you’re trying to imply. You mean GoT user score being so high just because it’s a masculine story about honor and defending your country from invaders, while TLoU score sits at such low numbers because of woke influences?
If that’s what you’re implying, you’re wrong, GoT is legitimately a masterpiece. Think Witcher 3 condensated with higher production values and a combat so deep and satisfying will turn your cock into steel.
I have zero doubt you’ll agree with me when you’ll play it for yourself, be it now or emulated in a couple of years, the game won’t age anyway.

PC gamers are not 'the general public'.

They are a 'master race', so cognitively superior that only they are capable of assembling a rig.

I constantly hear how all of their PC's are high end monsters and way better than all consoles and they play demanding games all the time.
However this chart and twitch and every other metric contradicts these assertions.

You are wrong. But people here are used to you being wrong so don't feel bad about it.

According to data from Steam, only like ~2% of gamers are using 2080 Ti. Do the research.
