I've always been a PC gamer, on Linux mostly (Steam enables so much).
After enjoying a SNES mini for a while, I considered maybe it could simplify life by getting a dedicated modern console rather than use PC, for playing the latest games.
However, then reading about how modern consoles are online connected and let you wait while they auto-download updates, makes it look exactly like PC, so not adding any value. So PC gamer I stay :)
- killtimeatwork 6y agoAlso, historically consoles promised high quality technical experience - no major bugs and consistent high FPS, while currently it's no longer guaranteed. It's basically PC gaming without the hassle of GPU driver incompatibilities.
- scaladev 6y agoWhen was that? I spent quite a bit of time on PS1, then PS3, and then PS4, and enjoyed my share of that sweet 24 FPS "cinematic" experience. That heavy post-processing as an attempt to hide the (sometimes extremely) low texture resolution. The atrocious load times. Never again.
- killtimeatwork 6y agoThe pre-3d era (SNES etc.) was perfect. Meanwhile on PC you were fighting IRQ conflicts and HIMEM.SYS etc.
- sandworm101 6y ago>> so not adding any value. Adding nothing and removing much. I have yet to see a console that can handle mods properly. There is no greater sin for a console developer than to allowing the player to edit game files. That road leads to cheating and piracy. I don't think Minecraft would have become what it did without mods, without the creativity displayed by PC gamers.
