Well the console version will set me back 60usd, i can get the PC version from GMG at 40usd.
Ill save money get it on PC.
Thats the minimum lol. More like 1440p then 4k :P
@breakpad
I rather play Dota 2, Arma 3, Dayz, TF2, CS go, Star craft 2, Total war series ;-) Games you mention tend to get old real fast sorry.
@Genuine
I dont see Skyrim still selling on console. Why isnt it selling? why did the sales dry up?
If Valve takes a 30% cut, so does just about any retail shop. That difference is balanced there. Whos going to cover Distribution, Packaging, damages, royalties to Sony/MS? Fact is most console copies still sell as physical while most PC copies sell as digital hence are more profitable and again why club all consoles VS 1 PC. Make it a 1 vs 1 comparison, Things...

"It's likely the PC version will sell more than the Xbox one."
Lol you look like the usual run of the mill Sony fan, how hard is it for you to understand PC games sell for a very long time due to Mods. Both the console sales will dry up, PC will out sell both the next gen consoles, specially if by looking at initial demand.
PC version doesnt have to sell half way as much as the consoles to post good profit for Rockstar,...
@Genuine
PC version released on 14th april, so its been about 2 weeks. PC version has sold 2 million in 2 weeks.
Next gen consoles combined in 1 month sold 3.7 million.

If you are going to make a comparison at least make it somewhat fair.
So can we say...
@Lamer
Please dont be lame, there are only a handful of PS3 exclusives that you would want as remasters. Every other multiplat on the PS3 is available on the PC and is better.
There is no point buying all thsoe games again and again. It would end up costing more than getting a PC that can run those old games.
Why not just get a PC buy the games for once and get out of the business of buying remasters again and again.
As is every remaster will set you back about 40usd, better of buying the same game on PC for 5usd tops.
Maybe because consoles make 60fps look like this mountain of a task which just cant be attained. Hence 60fps is mentioned on and on again along with the PC too, when really 60fps is not a big deal when it comes to PC gaming.
@geno
Please understand PC gaming is a long term investment. Whenever you buy a console you must buy the console for 400usd you cant buy it part by part.
However with PC things are different. Once you buy a casing, dvd drive, HDD, SSD, RAM, Mouse, Keyboard etc you dont buy those things again when you upgrade the PC. Hell with the way games dont need high end CPUs these days you could get away using a CPU for 6-7 years easy.
So yes if you make...
Please stop being silly, why do you want to compare the rolls royce of gaming to consoles. Why not make a fair comparison.
A 200 usd gpu will out perform whatever there is in the Consoles. So why compare a ferrari to kia? just doesnt make sense.
Negative console gaming is more expensive than PC, since there are too many hidden costs on console.
The reason people prefer consoles is because of all the hype and marketing. Most people have no clue about PC gaming, since there is no company actively marketing the PC. Which is good in a way because where do you think all the Sony and MS marketing charges come from? Obviously from the pockets of the consumer.
Which is why you have:
Pay to g...
Check most games released on last gen systems. PC vs console.
Most of the games ran much better on PC than on console. Skyrim, Metro 2033, Battlefield 3, Mafia 2, Fall out 3. Most of the time console versions always had frame rate issues.
I would say history will probably repeat itself again this gen. PC getting the better versions all the time.
@XikurapikiKurata
Keep telling yourself that, compared to PC library consoles hardly have any games. In fact console library is so small, i see many of my friends waiting for that next game to release so they can actually play on their new console.
Remember generation on generation PC platform accumulates games, consoles just go through resets and lose libraries.
PC gamers dont just care about graphics, I still play Warcraft 3 when i have the...
So another way of putting it 58% of the people guessed the PC version correctly, since its obviously ahead of the other 2. This is with keeping in mind the PC was running at 1080p which is now an aging standard on the PC, Graphics hardware today can easily run games in 1440p. 4k should be a reality in the next few years. Running a PC at 1080p today is like running a PC at 720p last gen. So really really 1080p is the lowest end standard for PC these days i doubt most sites even consider bench ...
So is my Kia Picanto in its own little way.
Sad 400usd console has so much nickle dimming. Its 400usd on paper. Later:
pay to go online
pay more per game
no mods (must buy dlcs)
game prices dont drop fast
Discounts not as good as the ones on PC
No BC (so need to rebuy games as HD remakes).
Cant do any of the work a PC can. So really its hilarious when people mention 400usd while ignoring all the hidden costs.
@solidstoner
You tout the exclusives so much, yet i dont see a single exclusive on either console that warrants a purchase.
Deal with most games have gone multiplat over 90% i would say. Last gen no one could have dreamed MGS5 to be on PC, Developers are now developing for all platforms. Since thats where they make the most money.
Unless a console maker doesnt money hat a developer they dont make exclusives any more that is the current realit...
Cant compare PC to same price PS4, since consoles have too many hidden costs, which once accounted for make console gaming super expensive.
Pay more per game,
Pay to go online,
loose all games at start of gen since no BC,
No mods,
Lack of discounts like available on PC.
Cant do any real work you need a PC anyways.
Consoles just have too many indirect costs once added up, makes consoles more expensive than high end PCs. ...
"MKX really left a bad impression for the fighting genre and i expect this to follow suit."
I agree man, i used to enjoy the 2 vs 2 tag battles in MK 9, i wonder why they removed tag battles in MK X. It just feels like an incomplete product.
Good thing i have MK 9 on PC and can still play it when friends are around.
