That's a poor way of putting it, because it doesn't mean anything. Lots of people only play CSGO, DOTA2 and random indie titles that have no need of a powerful GPU.

Price to Performance ratio is the proper way to put it, and in that catigory (even using all brand new parts) the PC breaks even or is ~100 USD more expensive short term (and will easily match price/performance if you're ok with used parts,) but easily cheaper in the long term because Humble Bundle i...

Yeah, I was very specific about what you do and don't keep in Dark Souls. Short version: A lot.

Also, and follow me on this one, doing the same missions over and over again is a great way to burn out and not have fun, as is, say, not getting to have your preferred set of weapons and abilities. Based on what we know, both of those will be true for Farcry 5.

Because if you did, considering the negative press, the simple and easy way to dispell those c...

The lack of an actual proper refund policy? (Sorry, in a 50+ hour game 2 hours isn't enough time to even know if it works, much less if it's worth playing, and refunding it only to the Steam Wallet so it can't actually be spent anywhere else.)

The DRM.

The lack of curation leading to a store flooded with garbage.

The inability to download installers so if Steam goes down (either permananetly or temporarily) all your games t...

Yeah, that has nothing to do with resolution (it's still minecraft) and everything to do with the textures they replaced. Those may or may not be 4k textures (don't know or care) but, more importantly, they're obviously completely different textures. Basically anything is an improvement over vanilla minecraft textures, which are garbage (and probably so the creator could focus on things that matter more to the game.)

Stupid, the friend doesn't get to keep any of their progress so they are wither not getting anything from playing co-op (if they also have their own playthrough) or they're *only* capable of playing with their friend (and vice versa) lest one miss out on story.

Both of those are undesirable.

No. I can't speak for Nioh, but I can say as fact it's nothing like Dark Souls.

You don't get to keep story progress but you *do* get to keep souls and items, and if you are successful you earn points towards covenant rewards in your own game as well as earning a 30 or 40% health boost in your world for your next attempt. Dark Souls, at least by AAA standards, is also super hard, so the experience you get with enemy placements and attack patterns is extremely v...

Which, sadly, works because their customers are too stupid, ignorant or weak to take a stand and refuse to buy their stuff until they change.

Yeah, you do. Click bait it may be, but if you don't read it then you don't understand the context that argument is being put in, as illustrated by the idiot fanboys/girls who are just commenting on the headline and *completely* missing the point.

Further, underwhelming has *literally* no connection to quality. It has everything to do with expectations and desires not matching up with what one actually gets. If one expects new ...

@Goldby
No, I'm not. That's specifically why I mention games that aren't even able to maintain 30 FPS on the (last gen) consoles. Bloodborne would also be objectively better if it didn't have frequent framerate problems, as would every other console game that's too demanding for the system to handle and so can't maintain a playable framerate. Just a locked 30 FPS would be a big improvement.

There is also that (GPU wise) the Xbox One X is ~5...

@Lovable

So? You can't get them on the PS4. So how does that in any way factor into it's value as a console? Maybe you haven't noticed, but people who game primarily on console and people who game primarily on PC are not the same people. Consoles aren't really competing with PC.

Also, consoles are *very* different than PC. The Xbox One X is differentiated from PC by it's nature as a console. The hardware/software is locked down, so no ...

Running more stable = running better. Locked 30 is objectively better than 24-30.

3172d ago 12 agree4 disagreeView comment

why, exactly, would it be a bad thing to play objectively superior (higher resolution, more stable framerate) versions of games?

Having played Dragon's Dogma and Borderlands 2 on both PS3 and PC, I can state with absolute certainty that I will never play either on the PS3 again. 30 FPS is playable, if borderline and distractingly jittery, but neither game can even maintain that. Much the same case with Dark Souls 3, the framerate doubling is a huge improvement to gamepl...

Because people who play games on the Xbox aren't regular gamers.

Do you mean to imply they're better or worse than "regular" gamers? What exactly is the difference between someone who plays on an Xbox and someone who plays on another system?

Well we still don't have a proper Xbox emulator (though there are only like 3 exclusives anyone cares about on it so that's probably why) so yeah, it can take a while.

I don't think it will take 10 years unless this priject gets abandoned. The reason being, the PS3 has a lot of exclusives people care about.

Because the author *clearly* references *multiple* PS4 exclusive games and explains why (granted not at any great length) despite being good they aren't especially innovative.

Which a fanboy immediately turned into "my system is so awesome and has all the best and most innovative stuff and you're just jelous because your system doesn't," because they didn't actually read the article.

And, spoiler, neither did you. If you did, I...

I'm advocating anything that undermines or circumvents the blatantly exploitative practices being used in GTA online (and Overwatch and Pay Day 2 and, and, and) where they deliberately make getting anything as grindy and frustrating as possible specifically to psycologically bludgeon people into spending money to skip the BS.

The *only* reason it's even somewhat tolerable in F2P games is *because* they're free and that's how they have to make their money. GT...

I love how this immediately turns into a fanboy war being started by people who clearly didn't read the article. They aren't making a statement on the quality of the games themselves.

I don't even agree with the article, the AAA industry (by virtue of the multiple millions of dollars on the line) has basically never been the innovative place, in general they wait for some small to mid sized studio to do something that turns out to work well, then they copy it. ...

I hate to break it to those people who disagree, but you are wrong. I already have the PC version. There is a noticable improvement for the more detailed textures that were already in the game (Ie weapons, armor, spells and enemies) but basically everything else is the same, but displayed at higher resolution and with better Anti Aliasing.

There is simply no comparison to a remaster like FFX HD or the Halo 1 remaster where almost everything is re-done and much higher quali...
