PC does have its exclusives tied in of itself. Which cant be pushed to the max in several cases cause more than enough don't have high end pc's. Dev's know sales of these and keep an eye on market for such things. I find list of console games tend to be higher count than pc but pc has more strength in RTS genre of sales.

 

Its a good idea to go higher than norm but to complain about the max not pushed is beyond me once higher than norm. :)

I generally don't care much about graphics - I had a lot of fun with, say, State of Decay which has rather mediocre visuals, but visuals that fit the setting.

But if a publisher pulls a Watch_Dogs on me, I just don't buy their game and that's it. Heck, I probably won't get through my pile of yet unplayed games from Steam sales until October anyway.

 

And if something visually absolutely stunning comes around, I can enjoy that too. I can upgrade if I want to, or not. For me, playing on PC is about freedom of choice. And the genres I prefer tend to happen on PC more than on consoles.

 

That said, different gamers have different priorities and none are better than the other.

Oh yeah, if it wasn't too late I would have posted this in one of my more serious responses in this thread. It's an advantage consoles have that I think is exemplified by Grand Theft Auto V. And before I continue, yes this is a highly subjective caveat, but I suspect a lot of people agree about the reason, if not the conclusion.

 

Now, what advantage could I be speaking of? Community solidarity through content exploration. This is something that is greatly (but not perfectly) preserved on console exclusives, that is almost immediately destroyed by the PC because of the mod and hack community. Within hours (Sometimes less) of a game's launch, all the files and information have been dissected and torn apart, revealing every single detail in the game. (Look at The Witcher 3's recent leak for confirmation) This guts community exploration and it's something that can never be replaced in a game. It's the "Virginity" of the game if you will. That bubmling ignorance that makes the first time so much more memorable than the times afterwards.

 

I should also point out that this isn't just the PC's fault as a platform necessarily, the ubiquity of the internet now certainly makes it easier. And while you can certainly avoid spoilers and discover content yourself without resorting to a wiki or guide, the community at large will not. So there's none of that experience exchange (see: Watercooler talk) anymore, or at least, it's very rare. Probably what makes emergent games like Skyrim so popular.

 

Look at Grand Theft Auto V and how long people have been freaking out about the Aliens and secret base under Mt. Chiliad, trying frantically to discover what (if anything) all this means. The moment the PC version is released, everyone will have their answer, an answer that will probably never be discovered in the intended context.

That's a politically incorrect borderline daft statement, do forgive me if I opt not to bother myself with arguing with you if that's all you have to say.

Yeah, power supply/watt on shelved stores is actual fact, not by reading online. I studied pc tech, PLC programmer here and had to learn pc technology. :)

You realize that the term "Next Gen" in regards to console gaming has nothing to do with the consoles actual power levels? The XOne and PS4 are next gen/current gen, wether you think it or not.

 

In regards to the whole argument, sure, consoles are weaker from a purely technological standpoint, but they're much stronger (for me personally) when it comes to their game libraries, which should be the reason for anyone to pick a console in the first place. Want to know why I got a PS4 instead of an upgrade for my PC? Because that PC would not have access to games by Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica, Guerilla Games, and most importantly, Atlus. I'll never be able to play the next Persona or the next Tales game on a PC. That, is why I choose console gaming.

This is main reason I don't like platforms exclusive, you must buy all consoles in existence to play all games. Yes it's like only 3 now but together is a lot of money.
