You don't care about it because you can't play it, it will be 2014's Game of the Year, but nice try.

Just another year that PC is missing the biggest games of the year. What else is new...

Destiny doesn't offer anything I'm not already playing on PC.


I'm glad the consolers finally got something with some scale (maybe) to play, but quit trying to pretend we're crying over here.

Stout, serious question. How long between your PC upgrades? Say you upgrade now, how long will it be before you pay this $195 for another upgrade?

You guys are so fricking narrow-minded and flat out oblivious to the obvious.

It's like clubbing a baby seal now. No fun.

I could make it 5-6 years very easily with my current build.

I upgrade and build new builds often because I like to do it. It's a hobby I, and many other PC enthusiasts, enjoy.

The cost of upgrading is also greatly offset by how much cheaper the games are.

It's not narrow-minded when you're right.

You guys argue for the sake of arguing.

But can you play it on a 70 inch HDTV?

ETA: I don't have a dog in this fight. Just asking the question. I haven't made my next Gen choice yet.

You would get destroyed trying to play any type of multiplayer game on a 70 inch

70 inch is a bad idea even on console for that reason

More power is going to mean at the very least equal performance on most games unless they are horribly ported.


I don't think many are horribly ported but it definitely still happens. Consoles are going to be the lead platforms for the majority of games in development. I still think the optimization of having to design for one sets of specs allows the developers to do more.

Do you think half life 4 will be pc only? Do you think hl4 will exist?

I agree with that but even then more power is going to make up for other shortcomings in design to a degree.


BTW, what's funny is I said the same thing about Xbone having less powerful specs but still figured the games would be about on par between both consoles because devs only would be able to optimize. I have been wrong on that. The PS4 has outshined so far in games heads up which again means more power >>>
