"The problem with console is that it takes a long time for a full cycle," Romero said. "With PCs, it's a continually evolving platform, and one that supports backward compatibility, and you can use a controller if you want; if I want to play a game that's [made] in DOS from the '80s I can, it's not a problem. You can't do that on a console. Consoles aren't good at playing everything. With PCs if you want a faster system you can just plug in some new video cards, put faster memory in it, and you'll always have the best machine that blows away PS4 or Xbox One."


Awww snap

I remember getting all sorts of shite in middle school/high school for being a "PC" Gamer. Most of my friends have since gotten rid of their consoles because they think they're impractical

John Romero has never hesitated to be extreme.

Who advertises a game this way?

I'll still play my 360 b/c I have a ton of games on it. But with the sales you find on PC games, I just can't see myself paying retail for a game on console again. I don't play FPS that much anymore so I have no need to buy a game on launch day, I've gotten used to and prefer KBM over controller now, and most of my friends went to XBONE which I have no plans to buy anyway. I play mostly single player or co-op with buddies on PC now.

I like playing on both. There are some consoles exclusives worth playing and it's good to have for shitty ports. Basically play Ubisoft games on console.

This has been my argument for awhile when someone asks me if they should get a PS4 or xbox 1. If you just want to play games then there is no point in getting either.

Silly John Romero.

I'm sure he won't mind consoles whenever they bring him more revenue.

no Mario kart, no blood borne, no destiny, no super mario, no metal gear solid, no last of us, no uncharted, no smash bros, no red dead redemption, no halo, no Pokemon, no Zelda, no gears of war

Lol hardly a "master" race when they can't even play some of the best games and franchises

But hey at least they can orgasm over 16x SSAA in call of duty 2014. Seriously though it's actually kind of funny as only a minority of PC gamers have decent enough pcs to run everything maxed out. Most PC gamers play the sims, hearthstone, lol, etc, and their pcs would crash and burn if they tried to run watch dogs at high settings at 1080p. Most wouldn't get anywhere near 60 fps.

Haha nah I do play pc games as well. I really just go where the games are and feel sorry for the guys that refuse to touch a system for whatever reason, and then miss out on awesome games as a result

if you're a real gamer, you're agnostic when it comes to the platform
