PC is for hardcore gamers. Always has been.

Yeah.. with mods and cheaters. lol!! It's also a lot easier to aim with a mouse. Point and click, you're dead. l!!

This guy serious?

Its not easier to use a mouse? Are YOU serious?

You're also playing against people that will be faster to react, and aiming with a mouse isn't just point and click

He's thinking of auto-aim and using a mouse.

Let's see, $300 GPUs can outperform $399 consoles? Wow, that's so shocking...

You would think that would be common sense, but some consolites (and not just trolls) continue to believe that somehow their graphics are better or up to par with that scenario because of optimusaychun!

It seems like every time MS comes up with a stinker like Windows ME, they turn around and make an XP. Vista then went to Windows 7. I can see a case where if they don't follow up Windows 8 with a good system, then people might just get real sick of their shit, though.

You couldn't pay me to install Windows 8 on my gaming PC. I would much rather dual boot to a Linux distro than put up with a half-baked tablet OS if that means I could keep playing games.

Win 8 does have some really good aspects that I hope they continue in their next release (fast boot time, really great task manager) it's just a shame that Win 8 is built around touch screens and touch interface. I hope their next windows isn't the same, perhaps than it can be a success again.

If MS is so keen on copying apple than they should at least do it right: Apple has one OS for desktops and one for tablets. Don't try and have one to do it all.

I have to agree here, I like Windows 7 but other than the interface (which can be ignored) I don't see the hate for Windows 8. It runs much leaner and while yes initially it's designed for a touch interface you can add in to skip metro and get the start menu back (not as much functionality, but enough for gaming).

http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/8848/20131205/psn-accounts-hacked-fifa-14-trading-cards-compromised-information.htm

here are numerous reports flowing in about how users are seeing transactions being made even when they never opted for it in the first place, with one user even complaining that he received notifications of transactions being made via his PSN account even when his console was switched off.

While a number of users have already started scribbling similar issues related to their personal PSN accounts, it seems like the problems are originating with respect to FIFA 14’s trading cards.

Accordingly, when a user complained that $135 was added to his wallet funds in 2 minutes randomly and without his consent, another user explained: “Yeah looks like someone got a hold of your password. This happened to me on my 360. And of course it was also because of Fifa. That game is behind a large quantity of these unauthorized charges.”

“All because of the trading cards or whatever it is in the game that you can buy with real money. Change password to something really complex, don't use it anywhere else and maybe even change the email associated if you can,” he added.

Another user, although on a different console, also complained: “Something similar happened to me on Xbox 360, was charged $135 and they bought FIFA and season pass and c**p. Microsoft cleared it all but it took 3 weeks and they temporarily closed my account during their investigation.”

However, it was revealed via the same thread that, apparently, someone tried to get a more solid answer from Sony to know exactly what was going on. The user stated that he was on phone with a PSN rep and would get refunded in 5-7 business days

Fifa 14 eh? Maybe EA has something to do with it, they like taking people money.

But seriously, I don't see the point of hacking into someones account, and charging that account something only that account can access.

The same reason hackers get onto your PC and make it so it can no longer boot, douchebags find pleasure in being dicks.

YAWN......i thought we settled this, it doesn't matter if any of you PC fanboys have superior hardware packed into your PC towers that exceed that of X1 or PS4, software being used today does not utilize anymore than what the Sony or Microsoft consoles have built into them.

It will be sometime before software catches up to hardware, if in fact it ever does, which i doubt will ever happen.

So NO, Thief will look exactly the same on all hardware PS4, X1, and PC.

I guess the idea of scalability has no meaning to you?

Because you own a console instead of a PC. You can stop lying about it, because everyone already knows. Claiming that you bought the PS4 ot XboxOne because of their super awesome graphics is like claiming that you bought a WiiU because of all of its great 3rd party games. If you really cared about graphics, you would be playing games on the PC in 1080p/60fps every single time, but you are not, so you obviously just don't really care about it, and that's O.K. 720P gaming looks good enough for most people, although that's exactly what you played all last gen. At least console owners will get upscaled 1080P on some titles.

They wish they could game on PC but since they cannot afford it or understand it they have to settle for consoles instead.

I'm primarily a PC gamer as well, but If you had friends that came over to game, you'd probably understand the value behind owning something more accessible.

Buying a gaming PC isn't financially arduous relative to a $400 console. Don't be ignorant.

That was mainly a joke since this is kind of a joke thread. However, If you want to shift the goal posts from graphics to accessibility that's not necessarily the case. I have 4 PC's setup that we can all play in the same room together. Can we all play Battlefield 4? Nope but there are plenty of games that we can play together. PC's can be just as accessible to playing together with friends or family if done right.

So you are confirming that getting into PC gaming is just as easy financially compared to console gaming? You know because consolites around here make it seem like you have to break the bank to get into PC gaming.

This was posted yesterday and locked because it's not from Forbes, it's some blog on Forbes. Not the same thing.
