I have to agree, that's a pretty obnoxious statement to make. And it's not because of hardware envy. There are millions of PC gamers who still playing games like WoW on medium hardware.
1080p, 2K, 4K, 6K, 60fps, 12K fps...they're all part of PC gaming and there's no real need to look down on others who chose a different standard.
I don't see anything wrong comparing the game across several versions. We've seen the magic Rockstar weaved on last gen consoles and current ones so wouldn't you like to know what Rockstar can do on a powerful, modular platform? For two years everyone have been praising the tremendous efforts the coders did on consoles and when they finally released a PC version you want everyone to stop with the praises?
I know that some might find that these comparisons as offen...
"I can get a ps4 today and guarantee itll run all high end games for the next 5 years and theyll look and better than they do today. "
Really? During early days of the PS3 and 360 everyone praised their power and potentials, just like how everyone's praising the PS4 and X1 now. But after several years, even more so during the couple of years before the PS4 and X1 came out, we see game devs struggled to keep up that praise and some even bitch and moan about how l...
Another reason could be the fact that Nvidia has a brand new line of cards, the GTX900s, that coincides with Asus's anniversary. AMD on the other hand has yet to release it's latest cards to it's partners.
It would be weird and embarrassing if Asus released a last gen golden AMD card next to a brand new Nvidia card especially when the next gen AMD card is just around the corner. Would you still cry favoritism if Asus releases a golden AMD card using the latest mo...
So, they're comparing trailers no? Just wait another 2 weeks and they'll have the real comparison between the actual PC version and the console versions. 2 weeks! PC gamers waited 2 years for the game, surely another 2 weeks is nothing for journalists.
"I'm sorry, but articles like this are only prolonging the sexism debate instead of fixing it." I agree to that but I don't think they'll even care.
Prolonging the debate is good for their business. More debates mean more articles which lead to more clicks and subscribers to fuel the ad revenue.
Fixing the problem won't put food on the table. In other words, they'll drag this mess as long as possible.
This is beyond bouncy tities. So many major features are missing and all of them have nothing to do with bouncing tities.
It's almost as if they don't want you to buy the PC version but instead get the console version with the multiplayer, better engine and extra levels.
"help grow the W10 PC gamerbase."
Or dilute Windows PC gaming even further. Apple and Android devices are filled to the brim with F2P games with heavy emphasis on microtransactions and MS is trying to do the same for W10. Everything that MS planned for W10 are F2Ps and the occasional indie games. I tried giving mobile gaming a chance but so far it never appealed to me. I don't think I'll be interested for W10 gaming if it's just a mirror of what mobile g...
"already moved on to other games"
Yup, that's why. PC gamers tend to be much more dedicated than console gamers. While console fans have "moved on" from a particular game, PC gamers still play them months even years after launch.
2 years later? That's nothing: tons of exclusive titles on consoles and graphically better looking games on the PC couldn't pry millions of people off WoW for years. The first Starcraft received patche...
I don't see anything misleading about it. The article actually does talk about a remaster that is released for free just as the title says. They don't need to include the fan-made in the title since it's elaborated in the very first sentence. Let readers discover that fact instead of treating it as some sort of badge.
Readers who are unaware of the mod's existence would certainly be surprised to learn that not only this is a fan made mod and free but it's ...
I'm a PC gamer and yet I congratulated XBox 360 fans when they get their own version of The Witcher 2. I didn't shove my PC spec on their faces or belittle them for getting it later than us/that the PS3 didn't get one.
I'm a PC gamer and I'm happy that PS4 and XBO fans will get to play The Witcher 3 alongside us PC gamers. I'll be happy playing the game on my PC(which only change every several years, not every few months) and I don't see any reason...
Progress is constantly happening in gaming. A new concept appears, get accepted, grow and meld into the gaming world a bit too smoothly. One day it's a radical new idea but then it became just another slice of gaming that most people would consider normal and expected. That's why a lot of gamers were scratching their heads when people said there weren't that many female characters.
The video is trying to use the recent Thorina logic by saying that "Link" is just a title that anyone of any gender can pick up. What's next? Gordon Freeman turned out to be just the codename for the orange hazardous material power suit that anyone of any gender can pick up and play in Half Life 3?
"it's very possible that Link's gender identity doesn't matter when you play a game."
That's true, the gender of game chara...
Same here. I've only finished 67% of the game and I've died over 600 times. After 10 hours the monotony of constantly dying against increasingly harsher puzzles/levels and tougher enemies is starting to bear down on me but I kept going.
Let's see you say that again that again when The witcher 3 comes around and all those max PC settings(to be fair let's leave out Ubersampling for a while) versus consoles screenshot comparisons start popping out.
Make it awesome and people will come. Make it hellish to enjoy and people will avoid like the plague.
It's weird that a newly, highly-praised city building game came out just after the old guard, Sim City, get scuttled for poor sales(and poor design decisions like always online DRM).
If some of the most hyped AAA games actually delivered on their promises, dared to add new stuff and run smoothly upon launch then perhaps there would be more of them receiving higher scores.
Yeah. Let's hope both Valve and MS remember that the PC's key features is openness and choices.
@rainslacker
True, it'll a be huge undertaking on MS's side but they are doing it as we speak. MS have already been throwing a lot of money around and most of it is spent on preparing everyone for the Windows 10 enclosed system. Any surprise to see Valve deploying the Steam Machines now and eagerly backing the Vulkan API in response?
We're actually seeing these two tech giants preparing the grounds for the upcoming battle between them. MS can'...
Oh, great...here's another indie dev that thinks they are the hottest thing around just because they have ONE hit game out there that is the darling of critics and fans alike.
If they want to approach a particular subject differently, just do it. No need to slam other devs' approaches. WW2 can be seen from a lot of perspectives and there's a whole ocean of possibilities with plenty of boats to go around.
