GS News Top 5 - More Xbox One details, bad COD fans and GTAV PC

@oldschoolvandal @rawkstar007 @natalieyan

I am not being a PC fanboy here. All the strong points between the two gaming machines is all about what do we have in each resource and what can make most out of it.

Consoles do lack some extreme graphical and powerful features that the PC can provide, but the cost are less. I have my convenience in the PC I own, providing that it is tweaked nicely. If the "couple of years" is a basis of argument, maybe I forgot "couple of years and so", meaning you will still buy a new console system once the new one arrived. But I have to admit that most of the legendary games came from consoles, so you got my real respect there. The PC, on other other hand, provided the creative powers of avid gamers you want to make most out of it, so modders and manufacturers, thumbs up.

So, I still agree on the strong points between the two, and the gamer satisfaction is still the case here.

@rawkstar007 @PeejayYeh @natalieyan Finally someone talks some sense in this PC vs Console (tired....really tired) argument!! That's what I usually try to say...but the message never gets through.

Congrats Sir, you are a rare exception.

@PeejayYeh Consoles need to be upgraded every couple of years????? Try 7 years. You shouldn't mention how much you spent on your PC 6 years ago if you're trying to prove how PC gaming "makes sense". If we assume that a console will run you around $450 every 7 years, the money you spent in 2007 could keep the console gamer going for over 54 years. Will that PC you built (as configured in 2007) be any good in 2061? The answer is no.

For the record, I own all the consoles and built an i7/GTX 770 based rig 3 weeks ago. So I'm NOT a console fanboy.

@rawkstar007 You said it best. Both consoles and PC have their strong points and whichever you choose, there's going to be something you miss out on. Thank you for being a mature individual, capable of seeing both sides. It seems you are one of the few PC gamers out there that isn't an elitist.

@AsifBabur @PeejayYeh @rawkstar007 @natalieyan

No.

@PeejayYeh @rawkstar007 @natalieyan exactly man! the fun you have on PC you wont have it on any console! PC all the way!!

@rawkstar007 @natalieyan Well, I can call that investment. :D While consoles need to be upgraded as a whole system after a couple of years, PC hardware needs only several software and hardware to accommodate the needs of the game, long enough to get a brand new one if really needed. I have a $3500 worth of PC I bought 6 years ago, and with upgrading some hardware and software, it is still working perfect on high specs of any games this year. :D Well, not all gamers can afford that, I know. But the PC is just making these stories more mind-blowing. :D

@PeejayYeh @rawkstar007 @natalieyan Oh totally. I love the modding scene and, while expensive, we can up our horsepower.

That what it pretty much comes down to for why PC sits on the backburner for many developers: Expense. It's much easier, convenient, and less expensive for consumer gamers to play on a console rather than what can be a "money sink" PC. Hence the great appeal of the consoles and why they tend to get preferential treatment.

It's a very pros and cons scenario but both have their strong points.

@rawkstar007 @natalieyan At least we can up our experience through hardware and there are so many creative and modding geniuses out there to get more of the games we play on the PC. If Game selection is the problem, yes, I agree, it does suck at times. But if the developers don't put much value on the importance of PC gaming as part of their profit, they will not realize the loss afterwards.

Sorry, I am a PC gamer all the way.

Goal: Help establish a mod-market for console games.

In an effort to form a more perfect market for both the producer and consumer, we the people hear by stand against the liquidity trap that holds our dollar hostage. We wish to incite the reclamation of our beloved culture as the forerunners to the Magnum Opus out of this oversaturated market. With us we bring hope to the crass atmosphere that envelope the developers of our fine culture and heritage. No longer will they be cut out; with your help no longer will they be lost in their proclivity. With their profit margins widened we stand. With 3rd party retailers we wage fiscal warfare. We need, and you want, a market where your developers get the funding they want and need. With such reclamation we need a leader. We ask you to bring back what was once sublime, and give us a market that we supply. Our creativity will guide us. Using the debug kits found in your new console, mods beget profits, but no one will invest. End this liquidity trap. Offer developers the security they need to support mods, make sure developers get a piece of used game sales at 3rd party retailing outlets, and we the gamers will see your coffers filled. We ask only that our skilled youth have their go, just as they will in the self-published indie game’s market.

@leviathanwing @Kelleyb4947 You're both being pretentious cunts. Microsoft keeps changing their shit and it makes some people happy, alienates others, and leaves others suspicious that they'll just go back to the original DRM. They can't get the concept that you can't please everyone all the time. As for me, **** Microsoft, I'm not convinced.

@Kelleyb4947 @leviathanwing i do get what youre saying and youre proving my point in a roundabout way. i do hope you get that.
