@j0nathanruss11: 1.they already know the move to digital download is upon them so they might aswell adapt and give gamers a reason to consider physical retail on other products (hardware and such) and not just physical game copies.
2.We know that they dont have a great history but hey, atleast i have the option to buy steam cards or the htc vive from there.
"No, you just drop several hundred on a new video card and memory which might as well be a new computer."
Well no, an uprade can be anything but for arguments sake it would most likely only be a video card and no, a video card or both ram and video card is not a whole computer, i would call you an idiot for this but its often better not to insult others, the moment you do then you lose the argument.
"If you've actually been in the "industry" as long as you claim, you'd know that gaming on a PC isn't practical anymore."
Right, thats why its considered the most popular way to play games.That is downright false.
"It costs you 7-8 times more for practically the same gaming experience a console gives."
Wrong,It may cost twice the price of a xbox one or ps4 but you will have a better gaming experience
"But we buy consoles because they specialize in gaming"
No people like you buy consoles because you are ignorant and easily manipulated by marketing.
"and do it right without all the compatibility issues, crashes and bugs. How's that new Batman game working out on your powerful tool?"
Perhaps you should ask warner bros how they fucked that up, this is old news, rather than natively developing the game on pc they instead passed it to an unknown third rate developers to port.It was recalled since the massive dissatisfaction.That was just one game out of many games that were released this year without any problems.
So tell me, how is that 900p 30 fps coming along? what is it liek paying for a yearly subscription?
yes you can, you bring horrible points by saying you need multiple monitors and you need to buy a new couch or desk, that is bullshit.Most people already own this stuff whether its a tv,monitor,couch,desk...its a redundant argument.Personally when i got my first computer, i already had a mouse,keyboard,monitor and a windows 7 copy...the only thing i needed to buy was a chair so i just used a family table chair until i got a new one.
>Viruses
This is a joke right? you still live in the 90s? viruses are not really relevant today
>Functionality
>"Consoles ARE computers, hell, XB1 will be running what is basically windows 10 with a tweaked kernel, etc."
1.A calculator is considered a computer, by saying somthing is a computer, it doesnt really mean anything,Just because the xbox one has a similar microprocessor/architecture to that of modern computers, it doesn't really mean anything nor does it imply the capabilities.
2.Xbox one will not be running a a full version of windows 10, it wont have .net nor will it provide the same functionality as windows or any other operating system.Very possible for microsoft to create a modified version of their os but it would still not perform like a genuine windows os
>"However, consoles are specifically designed for gaming, convenience, comfort, and as ALL-IN-ONE set top boxes."
Not really convenient but if you think so then so be it.I mean paying for full priced games year around and being duped 60 dollars a year just to play a multiplayer game is not convenient.Downloading movies,games, or programs or even multitasking is not convenient on any console.
>"They are designed for productivity and other lite recreational activities."
Computers are designed for whatever purpose you want, denying that is to deny facts.Everything in modern society is running on computers.There is no such thing as original design for computers.If i want to dedicate my pc just to store pictures then i can do that, if i want my pc to mine bit coins then i will do that...that is the primary difference between computers and consoles, it is unrestricted and that is what its supposed to be.
>"I love the mods PC gamers create, I get super jelly, but guess what? That shit is coming to a console near you, slowly but surely."
So you think just because bethesda will be making mod support for fo4 on consoles that consoles have mod support? that is just one game and you seem to forget that pc gamers are the ones who will be making these mods so they will decide whether or not to include console support.
@fight_next2me: "so believe me, I know what I'm talking about."
then you said
"I've built several PCs throughout my life, some specifically for gaming and some for productivity and I've operated in many environments, everything... Ubuntu, Linux, Unix, windows, Mac OS, android, etc."
ubuntu is linux and android aswell...yeah you have no idea what you are talking about, i would gladly counter each point you made.
@NTenseify: my mistake, lost my train of thought (more like i didnt pay attention to details, silly me)
Let me iterate what i meant to say or what i should have said.A digital deluxe edition is not exclusive, the only thing that is exclusive about it is either the pricing or how it is purchased.How talos principle was originally purchased was you paid for the base game separately from the dlc.
@jamiermusic: yeah i would back your rating for sure.I felt as if it could have been better and not only by game design but also by having community support with mods.A wider range of abillities and characters would have been nice and more game modes or custom game modes.
