    Why do people get so upset when PC gamers mention features available on the platform ? Retro has said its fine to discuss PC/Wii-U on this thread since they're direct competition with the PS4/XB1.

    Theres discussing PC and then theres acting the dick about it esp when you go on about freeding greedy corporations while paying large money to intel/amd/Nvidia/Samsung for your components

    I guess because it usually goes like this

    PC: I can play anything I want AND my computer sucks me off while I get to look at two screens and 4 keyboards.

    Consoles: Meh, I'm too incapacitated by the detritus of snacks and cans covering me and my lazyboy to care…

    PC: You're blind! The corporations have ensnared you in their hypnotic marketing spiral of madness! I laugh at you and your fellow beings! Ha!

    I don't consider a PC to be in competition with any console. Most people I know own a PC and a console. I'd consider them more as companions rather than competitors.

    I think talking about PC in this thread is a little bit pointless. Talking about all the next gen consoles is a much better discussion.

    PS3 emulation is not far off and Double Dash can be played through Dolphin. As for exclusives, PC destroys consoles every time.

    It's not even going to be the same. I got a playstation for the exclusives like uncharted, the last of us, god of war and journey.

    There's nothing like that on PC. Plus how would I play MP TLOU on PC, or couch multiplayer with double dash?

    I like PC, but this "master race" stuff is pretty pathetic. You were a die hard X1 fan and now you're like one of those ex smokers who never stops going on about how he quit and how bad it is for you to the point of nausea.

    When said features are pretty much illegal piracy then it's hard to make a case for them. In fact it goes against the charter here.

    Its a bit sad really :pac:

    No what's sad is not recognizing you've been buttf****d by Sony & Microsoft. What's sad is when someone points to a better platform to buy you get all uppity and want them to leave the thread. What's sad is spending a load of money on a console that can't play the latest games in 1080p. Stop drinking the kool aid and realise you've been had.

    Why does it bother you so much what other people do or buy?

    It's like people bitching about others buying iPhones when it won't affect their lives in anyway.

    It's all so juvenile.

    Can't understand people buying consoles.

    Exclusives? People are willing to fork out nearly 500 quid now to play Halo 5 in a year and a half from now?! To each his own but it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me.

    I like not having to upgrade some component every second year.

    This is gas.

    People ignoring the idea of subjectivity, ignoring the preferences of others, screaming "I WAS RIGHT, YOU ARE WRONG". Validating themselves with hilariously sanctimonious statements!

    There is one dodgy game we all come back to. It's multi platform, cross platform, frustrating, repetitive, and has no end. It's called something like " PS4 vs Xbox Thread" and days like today, we should be all having a good laugh at it!

    Right.

    If I was stuck with an underpowered console for the next 8 years I would love the option to upgrade the hardware.

    It turns you orange if you drink too much. Which is what you'd do. Because you own a console and you're blind so you won't know how much you're putting into the glass…

    i don't really agree with slating consoles but this point about the need for upgrades doesn't really hold any water. the specs of the consoles aren't going to improve, so why would you need to upgrade your pc every couple of years? its possible to build one right now which would greatly out-perform and more than likely outlast this entire generation of consoles, without the need for any upgrades down the line. and besides that, the ability to upgrade is a positive thing. never ceases to amuse me when people try to paint lack of features in a positive light.

    Alright back on track everyone. Bans will be handed out past this post for instances of pc master racism or people spouting dumb uninformed fallacies about pcs or upgrading every second week or whatever (both as bad as each other).

    In my opinion: PS4>XOne. Well, both systems are great. I had X360 and now PS3. Microsoft has some advantages, and Sony has them too, as well as disadvantages. Why I finally choose Sony console? It's simple, because all my friends have PS - more games to play online + great deal with PlayStaion Plus membership. Good games for free - (in price of membership). If I find better job I will buy both of new consoles, for now only PS4 :)

    It's just my opinion. I love playing games, it's one of my hobbies. No matter on which platform I play - PC, PS, X, Dreamcast (do you remember it? :D) it's always fun to me.
    And I don't understand people who argue which console is better. We're gamers - games connect us, don't let the console wars divide us.

    As long as you have a browser on your device you can play PS4 vs Xbox thread too!
    It's great!
    But is it better with a the MS servers or not?

    Putting the thread out of it's misery would be the best thing to do, it reached it's conclusion at the end of the poll.
    Suggest running another poll next years perhaps?
    If you skip back every twenty pages the same nonsense roundabout arguments over and over about what console has the biggest E-Cock, then top it off with ' PC Master Race' boredom.

    Sometimes interesting things arise. Like MS dropping the Kinect.

    Then in fairness it can be discussed in the Xboxs forum.

    M!Ck would you please stop with the backseat modding. The thread will keep going as long as there's stuff to discuss. If it dies, it will die of its own accord. This thread serves a higher purpose.

    Sounds like your suggesting this is something I am accustomed to doing :confused:

    Backseat modding would be you call out other people for breaking the rules and saying "you should be banned".

    It was about time somebody said it to be fair.

    And to note: 'Suggestions on another poll'..... I didn't say actually to do it.

    The rules for backseat modding cover a lot of things but asking for a thread to be closed or suggesting it should be fall under it for me. Don't make a big deal out of it I just want you to stop in this case.
