Bashing goes both ways. Childish most of the times, but that isn't related to what I had said.

cool you said 'no they don't', and now you say 'bashing goes both ways'

glad i've got the moral high ground.

@m3dude1: Lol what i'm seeing right now is ports from 7th gen to next-gen, if that isn't "next-gen" then what is?

Actual Next Gen maybe? We're seeing games from 7th Gen being ported to CURRENT Gen.

1. He spent most of the post talking about exclusives. I don't see anything wrong with pointing out the unpopularity of most of those games.

2. How would you know?

PC has more revenue when you factor in countried where consoles are banned, mmo's and browser gaming which don't exist on consoles.

Traditional game sales on pc are dwarfed by consoles.

1. He never mentioned sales. He was saying how those games looked great and how many of them there was.

2. Digital Foundry and common sense.

3. Even if we use only "traditional games" (non f2p/browser), no 1 console touches PC. You gotta combine some.

1. If the games are so great why do most of them have so few reviews and and sales?

2. So you admit to not being a pc gamer?

3. The PS 4 for example is directly competing with PS 3, Xbone and 360 which results in a fragmented console gaming population. What is the pc directly competing with?

Most of the op's opening post was about exclusives. Exclusives which for the most part are ignored by most pc gamers.

When do I ignore points?

So has anyone been able to, by your standards, offer opposition and legitimate debate?

Most of the OP's post was about the reasons he felts that PCs are "battering" consoles.

He mentions exclusives, AND multiplats, in addition to acknowledging that some of the currently "exclusive" titles may eventually make their way to consoles.

Every time that someone proves you wrong, or calls you out for your ridiculous comparisons. (i.e. "These cherry picked stats show that 360 Skyrim gets better framerates @720p then on a PC using a GPU that barely exceeds the devs' minimum requirements @1080p and with more eye candy. Facts are also not neutral if they offend my sensibilities. Trollolol, my trolling is a art." )

Only the consolites that know a bit about the tech that composes their platform of choice, can acknowledge that the PC is the objectively superior platform, and not resort to your tactics.

Most of the op's post was about current and upcoming pc exclusives.

He lists pc exclusives, console exclusives and merely mention multiplats.

SKyrim performance on a pc with the power that would have cost $2,500 in 2005 had it been available.

I've admitted numerous times that the pc is superior but it doesn't mean I'm not going to refute what i consider to be weak arguments.

Too bad Skyrim wasn't released until 2011.

It's a shame that you don't offer stats based around the devs' RECOMMENDED PC stats and instead try using a comparison between a 720p console version with lesser effects to a 1080p version with more effects using a GPU that barely exceeds the devs' minimum recommendations.

Why did you do that?

Why do you continue to ignore this evidence of your distortion?

Oh, that's right, it's the only way that you could try to "prove" your lies.

Yet another attempt to distort.

P.S. Now, prove your indefensibly moronic claim.(i.e." SKyrim performance on a pc with the power that would have cost $2,500 in 2005"). Oh, that's right, there's no way that you can prove this using actual facts.

No, they don't. What's available on pc is not available on consoles. Pc fanboys well rave about better versions of console designed games. CONSOLE games. Pc fanboys will beg and petition for console exclusive games. Pc fanboys will point out that they can use any controller they want--a control mechanism that has evolved BECAUSE of consoles and console gamers. Pc gamers often point out how they can play any console game of the past through emulation. ETC ETC ETC.......yet consoles still aren't the way to play. It just doesn't add up. Or, these people simply don't grasp any of that.

Take off those rose tinted goggles man. Consolites petition for PC games. The latest one being Killing Floor 2. I have a choice of which controller to use, consolites have no choice. They must always use the same control scheme. You keep banging on about consoles this and consoles that but at the end of the day they are still playing second fiddle to the PC. Take the latest bad port, DR3. No matter what you say I can play that game at a higher resolution with better graphics and a control scheme to suit MY needs. Stop ignoring all the shit that consolites throw out because they are just as bad.

First off, you brought up an old debate, not me. So you're the derailer here.

2005 console hardware can run Skyrim why can't 2005 pc hardware run it?

Recommended pc for skyrim is hardware that released about 4 years after the 360 launched.

If a gpu twice as powerful as the gtx 780 was released in 2013, how much do you think it would cost?

7800 gtx was $500 in 2005. 8800gt is min req on Skrim. 8800gt is at least twice as powerful as 7800gtx which means if such a powerful gpu did exist in 2005 it would have been a $1000

Never heard of that game. I think you are missing the point. I'm not personally taking sides, but simply pointing out that the pc fanboys continually rant about how lousy consoles are, yet enjoy the benefits that stem from them at the same time.

What wrong with saying that console games perform better on PC with better hardware? Also, that game is Dead Rising 3.

Wrong, I brought up the example that YOU requested of evidence of you ignoring others when you're proven wrong.

We've already been over this REPEATEDELY, but once again since you failed to read it the first 5-6 times: PCs are not a static platform bound by console generations and as such, they have the potential to be more powerful than consoles because of their upgradability.

Your plucked from thin air price quotes are not evidence of anything, that's just you spewing nonsense with no sources, all while continuing to ignore the fundamental point that PC devs expect that PC gamers are going to upgrade their systems periodically over the course of a console generation's lifespan.

Why don't you compare the stats of both systems running at 720p, with the same amount of reduced effects, and using the PC GPU recommended by the devs; given that the devs' recommended hardware is presented as the optimal configuration with which to play their game on PC?

Wait a minute, I think I've figured out the reason why ... it's because you're wrong and you know it.

You also know that providing a legitimate comparison would undermine your supposed point and reveal you for the troll that you are.

More trolling. But hey, they're hermits and they're the majority here so it's ok.

How exactly can hardware outperform a game?

I have no idea what you're even trying to prove with that bench. Are you claiming ownage because a new apu can beat a 9 year old console with a benchmark where they overclocked it to 4.4 ghz and the benchmark included no fighting?

You priced out a pc with a 20gb hdd to match the 360 and I pointed out that a pc with a 20gb hdd is totally impractical and you ignored me. That is indisputable and you ignored it.

Bringing up continual upgrades to in a 2005 pc vs 360 debate makes no sense.

More like devs taking advantage of the consoles multicores and unified shader tech.

Nonsense? Look how much Nvidia and Amd charge for dual gpu's? 295x2 launched at $1500. What do you think a single gpu with more power than a dual gpu would cost?

What systems. i don't recall what you speak of. If you really want to go another round then create a new thread.

We are the majority at most sites, since PC has the most gamers and steam had more concurrent than xbl/psn concurrent numbers combined times 3 (and thats not counting battle.net origin etc.)...so you'll see a larger presence.

We? You're not a pc gamer.

Playstation forum alone has more posts than the Mac and PC forum.

If MS stayed out of the console business then the Playstation forum would have a lot more posts.

Bringing up continual upgrades to in a 2005 pc vs 360 debate makes no sense.

What a surprise...

I brought up you ignoring your own illegitimate comparison when I called you on it, and you're still ignoring it now.

I ignored your balking about a 20GB HDD because your own claim was that it required a, "$2000 to MATCH a 360 at release."

You wanted to add a 250GB HDD to a "matching" hypothetical PC in an era when 80-120GB HDDs were the norm.

In addition to being one of the pricier high volume HDDs of the time, a 250GB does not MATCH the stats of a release 360 equipped with a 20GB HDD.

Choose your words more carefully, or I will use them against you to eviscerate your argument.

Bringing up continual upgrades to a 2005 PC makes perfect sense since devs expect PC gamers to upgrade periodically.

Sorry, but you don't get to eliminate PCs' open platform strength to make it fit your claims any more than you get to ignore f2p, MoBA, MMOs, RTS' etc. because you don't think they should count.

How exactly? As a console gamer I have little interest in most of the titles you listed. So how does your platform of choice "batter" consoles?

I could list a bunch of games from my preferred system, games that might not be on PC, and make the same ridiculous claim--but it wouldn't make it a true statement either way.

So what consoles exclusives you gonna play this year ?

Titles you probably wouldn't like. So how does personal preference "batter" one side "into dust" ?

You didn't bring up a specific instance of me ignoring some indisputable points

You priced out a pc with a 20gb hdd to match the 360 and I pointed out that a pc with a 20gb hdd is totally impractical and you ignored me. That is indisputable and you ignored it.

Bringing up continual upgrades to in a 2005 pc vs 360 debate makes no sense.

What a surprise...

I brought up you ignoring your own illegitimate comparison when I called you on it.

You're still ignoring it now.

I ignored your balking about a 20GB HDD because your own claim was that it required a, "$2000 to MATCH a 360 at release."

You wanted to add a 250GB HDD to a comparable hypothetical PC in an era when 80-120GB HDDs were the norm. In addition to being one of the pricier volumed HDDs, a 250GB does not MATCH the stats of a 360 equipped with a 20GB HDD.

Choose your words more carefully.

Bringing up continual upgrades to a 2005 PC makes perfect sense since devs expect PC gamers to upgrade periodically.

Sorry, but you don't get to eliminate PCs' open platform strength to make it fit your claims.

Stop and create a new thread if you really want this debate again.

A functioning pc's specs often have to be higher to match a console. Especially for last gen

A 20gb hdd when the average game was about 5gb last gen? GTA 4 wouldn't even fit on that hdd.

I proved using a historical pricing chart that the 250gb hdd added only about $50 to the price.

We actually came to the conclusion that even a $1000 2005 cpu with sli'd 7800 gtx's couldn't outperform the 360 in popular multiplats like Bioshock.

We are the majority at most sites, since PC has the most gamers and steam had more concurrent than xbl/psn concurrent numbers combined times 3 (and thats not counting battle.net origin etc.)...so you'll see a larger presence.

Playstation forum alone has more posts than the Mac and PC forum.

But you said PC was the majority here...............

I'm not allowed.

Irrelevant.

Your claim centered around MATCHing a 360 at release.

A 20GB HDD does exactly that.

A 250GB HDD does not MATCH a 360 at release.

You may need some remedial preschool classes to help you grasp the concept of "matching" using one of those kids' matching card games.

Here's a hint to help you on your way: The ladybug card does not match the banana card

Nope. We all know that you're incapable of offering legitimate comparisons (i.e. 250GB HDD, Skyrim 720p vs. 1080p using an inferior GPU, etc.)

Why do you continue to ignore my previous points regarding providing you the requested example of you ignoring being called out for your laugh worthy "comparisons?"

It's a shame that you don't offer Skyrim stats based around the devs' RECOMMENDED PC stats and instead try using a comparison between a 720p console version with lesser effects to a 1080p version with more effects using a GPU that barely exceeds the devs' minimum recommendations.

Why did you do that?

Why do you continue to ignore this evidence of your distortion?

How is it that I know that you'll ignore these direct questions like you always do?

Well you're trying to make a non sales thread into a sales thread because its the only angle you got.

And it's ironic considering PC has more sales than 6 consoles combined. Thats 1 system vs 6 systems and its winning.

Hermits don't get mad we present facts and consolites give excuses to make themselves feel better about having a console. Hermits often own a console or two and can offer an educated opinion vs consolites who basically say they hate pc's and don't have a gaming rig.

Consoles and pc's are designed to run programs, not be a spec list in physical form. If a pc can't run a program the console can the the pc does not match that console.

I will leave it at that.

It's "a spec list in physical form" when the original trollbait centers around a PC that matches a release 360 costing a minimum of $2000.

PCs are not static platforms no matter how much you want them to be in order to try and prove your point.

There are plenty of PCs capable of running Skyrim at higher framerates and with more detail than a 360.

Your original claim also centered around matching a 360 at release, not 6 years into its lifespan when Skyrim was actually released.

So basically, you've got nothing, and you continue to ignore/refuse to answer any of my direct questions?

I've grown to expect nothing less from you.

You know that you're wrong and you have been proven wrong, repeatedly, on multiple issues, and by multiple individuals.

You talk about hermits trolling and insulting then you must be a hermit. You say nobody cares but someone must as the pc gaming industry continues to dominate in sales of software and hardware. Console makers are even using pc hardware and bringing over free to play and indies games we had on pc many years ago. All the next gen features consolites rave about hermits had along time ago.

If you want to know what the next gen consoles will be like just look at what hermits are doing today.

If you guys are comparing a 2005 pc to the 360 then why would upgrades factor in?

Not sure how that's relevant to 2005 era pc's.

Well if the 2005 pc needs to be upgraded to continue playing game then it goes even beyond the $2000.

I've been following you two for awhile and cranler has addressed every point you've made.

I also recall cranler being very civil while you constantly insulted him and you think HE should be banned?

This was also not our "first interaction."

This morning you were all inquisitive as to why Cranler (you) is reviled and now you have been "following" posts between him and I for a while?

Heh.

Your excessive quoting, mannerisms, writing style, and your timely arrival after what I can only assume follows your Cranler account's banning mirror your Cranler account.

Maybe you just remembered that you're already on thin ice in Cranler form, and decided to go alt to continue your same line of inane argumentation in hopes of dodging a Cranler ban?
