dude. stutering and bugs and glitches and constant patching are all present in console games of past generation and I am sure have been now transfered to current (dont even have to go far for an example have you played Theif on PS3? sound randomly cuts out during cutscenes). While consoles have been having more issues with bugs PC games on the other hand have been getting only better stability wise except for few horrid examples like Rage on release day. Also if you have a large library of games you will feel the horrid storage limitation on consoles such as not enough internal disk space and every game using up precious limited GBs with DLCs, game installs and whatever. I constantly have to micromanage HDD of both consoles where as on PC I have 6 TB of space and if I run out it takes 5 min to plug in another HDD.cloroxbb said:So you are kind of using your personal OCD like PC gaming habits, to downplay PC gaming in its entirety?Phoenixmgs said:There's always some little thing that pops up that I know I can fix with the right tweak or edit so I end up spending the time to figure it out, it might be something that doesn't bother others (like a slight stutter) but I'll fix it. That doesn't happen on consoles. If I know I can make the game play better, I will do it. For example, it takes me at least 50 games played to set my sliders in MLB The Show to get the game playing the kind of baseball I want it to play (and compared to other sports games, it doesn't have many sliders). I just looked at the Titanfall PC forums and immediately found there's an issue with high end computers running the game at only 30 FPS. With console gaming, I spend more time gaming and having fun.cloroxbb said:Wow, that is weird, I have almost 200 games on Steam, and never had one game that I had to waste time finding a fix. Except one, which was Bioshock Infinite. This argument against PC really doesn't work anymore.Phoenixmgs said:I'm a PC Technician and I don't want to waste the time finding fixes for PC games, you always run into some issue that takes you an hour of Googling to find some guy on some forum that found the fix for your issue. I spend more time actually playing games on console; I put the game in and it just works. For example, the first week Splinter Cell Blacklist was released, 90% of posts on the official forum were about the PC version not working whereas I played on PS3 with no issues.
Nah, its all good. Fair enough. I was just pointing out, that that isn't how it is for all of us.
Not only that PC games run silk smooth at 1080p at FPS that doesnt make me want to claw out my eyes. They also support any controller you want (like the ones with ventilators) or steering wheel not just a single joystick and a movecrap/kinectcrap. Gaming PCs are now available on the same budget as consoles. Did I also mention you can run 99% of the games ever released on modern PCs and if you dont care about legality you can play more previous generation consoles games with properly upscaled graphics than any of ps3/ps4/x1/x360 ever be able to without charging you again for the same game for 10th time. So really PC gaming has all pros and none of the cons
