EA=deadDuring the 90s? Yes! Fucking age of pure joy and wonder. My high school years were spent playing Heretic, Journeyman Project, Baldurs Gate and countless nights playing neverwinter nights mods,
Now it’s nothing but console ports.
God of war and halo infinite on PC is NICE.
PC is definitely getting in to golden age, since those console owners are running to pc, with their exclusives.
And best part, PC is getting all timed exclusives from the 3 console systems. Stalker 2, ff16, monster hunter rise.
Breaks my damn heart. I remember playing the Ultima series, Mechwarrior and Lucasarts x wing vs tie fighter.EA=dead
Ubisoft=Dead
Rockstar=Hates PC.
Activision/blizzard=Stopped caring about those pc games.
MS/Xbox=few pc exclusives.
Valve/Steam= Dead
Epic=Console hybrid pc.
We lost alot of good soldiers. It was fun time, when they used to do pc exclusives.
That is just children idea of golden age.PC is the best place to play games. Anyone calling this the :Golden Age of PC Gaming" makes it sound like this is their first experience with a gaming rig.
For me, I just want my medal of honor series back. Sadly, they whored for a VR title, like valve did.Breaks my damn heart. I remember playing the Ultima series, Mechwarrior and Lucasarts x wing vs tie fighter.
the big boys stopped making games for pc exclusive, in favor of consoles. And valve is stuck learning what comes after 3.
It's better now than it ever was. Night and day better. And still getting better.PC is the best place to play games. Anyone calling this the :Golden Age of PC Gaming" makes it sound like this is their first experience with a gaming rig.

To say otherwise is senile old fart think.
You sure miss those point and clicks, doom on a 486 and 5 million different gpu makers each with their own api, and no native controller support huh grampsOut of the mouth of babes.

She said yes,I was PC gaming long before 486. Now go ask mommy if you can stay up late to carry on this conversation.
You deserve a medal, friend.Thank you for the time capsule back to the gamefaqs forums with this op. Im glad people are enjoying my prefered way of playing videogames, the PC. I am also glad that other people enjoy their consoles with its easier setup method. In conclusion, who gives a shit, lets waste our life with the electronic entertaintment we desire.
Some years ago I only played on console and nearly all my coworkers who were playing games were PC gamers, always bragging about how much more powerful their PCs were compared to consoles and laughed at my console games running at 30fps etc. Hated it. I was constantly annoyed. Got banned here too for lashing out at PC gamers.To be honest, i'm sick to death of making posts talking about the endless advantages PC gaming has over console (and you have listed a few), so i'm not going to lol.
I'm just going to say its nice to see someone else wake up and see the light.
PC golden age was like 20 years ago. What's it with people thinking PC gaming is a new thing? I can't stand new PC players that seem completely dazzled by the most basic things.
My modest PC was playing games at HD when folks that had a PS2 were playing their games on 480i back in the day. For the last few year until now PC had the worst value it ever had, with really overpriced hardware and with the focus changing more and more into the direction of high end products that are reaching never seen before price points.
Right now PC and console are as close as they ever were and share more games than ever. There is practically no AAA development that is focused just on PC anymore.
PC gaming "culture" is at it's lowest point ever, with the whole master race attitude.
when were PCs supassed by consoles? the PS4? is this a joke?Nah, It maybe had its first Golden Age in the late '90s to early '00s, but from there it was far from being what it is today
It's in the OP buddy. Consoles were much more user friendly back in the day, way easier to get into if you weren't on PC already. Also in the 7th gen a duck ton of games didn't make it to PC, with a plethora of big exclusives and wonderful third party games alike, way before when PC ports started to appear (and they were the worst most lazy ports ever).when were PCs supassed by consoles? the PS4? is this a joke?
ppl seem to struggle to understand consoles will always be a gimped version of a PC, by definition. fuck these threads are stupid
Emulation =/= piracyWe apparently need a weekly reminder about this, so thanks for filling the quota, OP.
Anyway, I like how nobody bats an eye when the discourse must inevitably touch upon Nintendo games and it is candidly admitted that emulation is needed for those. Everybody acts like PC gets 95% of all games, yet this pretty big elephant in the room is handwaved like PC gamers are simply entitled to pirate Switch games ‘cuz, come on, we got the golden standard hardware, bro!
I’m not saying I never emulated a game I don’t own. It’s just that the way this is phrased is a little too convenient. “PC gets practically all the games anyway and - oh, Nintendo games you say? Why, you emulate them, of course! Got a problem there, mate?“
But PC guys can play your games.Xbox Master Race
That js false.It's better now than it ever was. Night and day better. And still getting better.
To say otherwise is senile old fart think.
Not to mention launchers. Barf!That js false.
Pc now is bloated. It doesn't hold a candle, during that age.
Pc had studios, which made Pc exclusive games.
The witcher, elderscrolls, fallout were all Pc games, before they transitioned to consoles.
Traditional shooter games are dead, in favor or BR games.
The standard dropped so low now.
PC still gets these exclusives plus everything else. It's the reason why it's in a golden era.That js false.

It's the platform where you can find everything from the most hardcore mil-sims to the most casual.
Whats wrong with Counter Strike? It's not my cup of tea but I don't see anything wrong with it. It's one of the options for the masses that want something quick to jump in.That is not what makes it golden age.
Pc used to have amazing games, and developers who made exclusive games for pc.
Now we dont get those. Most games are mediocre, with masses in mind.
CSgo being popular, should tell you the state of the current pc now.
Its 2012 game, which dominates shooter games.Whats wrong with Counter Strike? It's not my cup of tea but I don't see anything wrong with it. It's one of the options for the masses that want something quick to jump in.
I'm more of a Hell let loose, Squad, DCS World, IL- 2 Sturmovik kind of guy and I couldn't be happier.
