Watchdogs PS4 and PC "Good choices"

Well it says he was just asked about the PC and PS4, not the X1

but i still read it in that way since he didn't even bring up other consoles and said those were good choices aswell.

It's factually better on PC when talking about a good PC. A good PC can easily do surround sound.

In SW we aren't talking about crappy PCs.

Well, except for those threads when people are. Like the 750ti that can beat the X1 or the 400-500 dollar console killer PCs

Not having an extra PCI slot doesn't constitute a crappy PC, and believing otherwise shows how narrow your vision is. My PC has a 3GB 7970, a high-end i7, and 16GB of RAM. My PC makes games look reallly pretty. It just doesn't do surround sound, nor is it anywhere near my home theater -- because not everybody wants their desktop out of their office, since I do a lot of actual work on it -- so for a game like Watch Dogs, with the promise of a living, breathing world, I'm much more intrigued at the possibility of high-end sound instead of graphics.

Thank you, friend. My motherboard doesn't have 7.1 sound, but I never knew you could get a USB attachment. I'll have to look into that.

You have a high end i7 and your motherboard doesn't put out surround sound? Wtf

You mean someone specifically asked them about the PS4 and XBO versions and he said both were fine? Therefore meaning that the XBO version is inferior because no one asked him about it?

When I built my PC, I reached my budget, and my i7 had a solid, albeit barebones, motherboard included in the purchase. Aside from not having a ton of features itself, it does everything else I want it to with no problems, and seeing that I only move my PC to my home theater when a new Bethesda game comes out, why bother spending a few hundred dollars on something I'll use once every three years, you know?

I'm perfectly happy with my JBL 2.1 system for most games, but I just want a comfy couch, a controller, and surround sound on my big, open world types (aside from Bethesda games, as stated above. I'll never play those with anything other than a mouse and keyboard).

To round it out, I'm not terribly concerned about graphics on Watch Dogs, as I didn't really think the e3 2012 demo everybody's freaking out about even looked that great. But the potential for sound... Yum.

The thing is, all those things are possible with the PC version. So it comes down to graphics and performance, which will be better on the PC. Hence, saying, "best on ps4, oh yeaaa" is just poor trolling (most likely just to bother Jankar)

The board does not make the chip. You could have a top tier i7 yet if you can slot it into a bottom tier board.

I know, but it wouldn't make a whole lot of since especially if it was a K series chip. But even cheap budget boards come with surround

external sound card might be an option?

I'll probably wait and get it sometime after it's released. I'd be more worried about how it plays, then how it looks. We know it will look better then last gen, which is all that really matters.

5.1 yes, 7.1 most likely not.

@lostrib: anything that gets jankar to repeat "pc has more AAE and AAAE games" over and over ad nauseam.

Many of them do, you just have to use the front inputs

Can you idiots use a new quote chain I keep getting a notification.

also

• most games total (not just exclusive)
• best version of "90%" multiplat titles
• better online and more features (competative gaming, mods, communities, better twitch, etc.)
• more genres
• most controllers
• most devs
• most gamers

yes

I bet the console gamers can spell competitive

It was only 1 misspelled word due to a typo.

@Jankarcop: never. You will be notified for the remainder of this thread.

@Jankarcop: using the "i" word shows your immaturity, and thus, I will crusade against you in the form of constant notifications. Feel my passive aggressive wrath.

stop offending peasants with your facts. they clearly don't like it.

I've never been against facts. I'm an avid PC gamer, and quite a bit of that is true. PC offers options, scalability, potentially -- often so -- superior performance. Jankar just tends to be such a narrow-minded turd when it comes to PC refuses to understand why anybody would want to game in any other manner, I find it impossible not to exacerbate things.

And just for the sake of keeping this particular thread-line going -- Pickles. ;)

Disable email notification like I did. Unless you just have to stay up to date on every topic you have participated in....

I think his head would explode if he couldn't make a point about PC gaming when anybody points out they enjoy absolutely anything else.

Dont forget most assholes aswell.

I've found PC gamers can be the most stubborn when it comes to admitting any weaknesses to their platform of choice, of which all platforms have them. This is not a generalization of all PC gamers, as I am one, but it's certainly something I've noticed.

Nah, that's XBL

Well, both run on Windows, so....

XBL runs on Xbox

I think we're just arguing semantics. Aren't we on the same side here?

@IMAHAPYHIPPO:

Hey we all know PC's rule. I prefer PC gaming myself, infact I have not turned on my ps3 for months and refuse to buy these cheap "next gen" consoles until they have some actual games. Just no need to be all uppity about it like jankarcop.

@highking_kallor: Pretty much. I love my gaming PC, but sometimes I just want to relax on my couch and use something easy. What it boils down to is that fanboys suck ass. I have a favorite platform and a least favorite platform, but all of them have their value in one way or another.

People who refuse to understand why somebody enjoys something they don't are the worst.

PS4 version incoming for me. :D

Stupid really.

Knowing now that Infamous SS looks just as good if not better than their 2012 E3 reveal, people at least have an idea of what the PS4 is capable of.

Infamous in current release form compared to the E3 2012 reveal

Like of not Infamous has set the standard for open world games on PS4 and Ubisoft's downgrades don't make much sense considering of what it is capable of.

The car and pedestrian density in Watchdogs is at least 2x that of Infamous.

Obviously PC is the way to go if you don't want the game downgraded.

qft

but then again this is the stupidity called sw
