He said games can't be cheaper.
I must be a fucking wizard to cut 10 off on Steam for all of them.
I've seen cheaper used games. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for anything you listed there.

I'm being as fair as possible. The point here was, buying new digital copies directly from the source.
Both consoles are more expensive than Steam.
If you are talking about used games - that's a free for all market. Ebay / amazon/ craigslist / garage sales / cdkeys.com / g2a / gog.com etc... No one wins there as it all depends on the seller. Same game can cost 10 or 20 or even 5 sometimes.

Making them cheaper on console, making your point moot. I don't care about buying directly from the source, especially for some scummy developer like Rockstar. I'm more than happy to pay full-price for developers who have earned it.

Quake is the only somewhat worthwhile PC-exclusive game you listed, by the way.

Fallout 1 and 2? StarCraft?

Maybe, maybe, no.

You'll never come up with more than what console offers.

I mean...


How many years do you have to wait for a console game to match the Steam price? How many years does it have to be used to be as cheap as it is on Steam?

The physical store and human interaction will always trump online bullshit.
Steam would like to have a word with you.

Irrelevant because PC gaming is stupid.
That's the best you can come up with?

That's all I need to come up with.
Do you think online fees are not stupid?
Do you think having backwards compatibility by default is stupid?
Do you think having the largest selection of games is stupid?
Do you think having cheaper games is stupid?
I was going to go on, but this "dur peesea is stoopeh" statement just leads me to believe you're not there yet...

>playing online

i don't throw away my old consoles

no games that matter

games industry cant afford for games to be cheaper

Look up the rest yourself.

Games that matter
xD

Dota 2 / Leage of legends

WOW
Counter Strike (all of them)
Quake
Single player? Amnesia, Undertale, even the remaster of Turok 2 is a PC exclusive now.

There are no worthwhile PC exclusives. None of those games you listed are good.

Games shoud be getting more expensive, not cheaper. Cheaper games is not a good thing. When I say the games industry cannot afford to be cheaper, I mean that if games were any cheaper, it would only push publishers to pull more bullshit with DLC and pre-order bonuses. And I can get everything on Steam at Steam prices for my console games at my game store because I've taken the time to cultivate a relationship with the guys who work there.

PC gaming is for no-lifers and graphics junkies.

And did you just unironically "xD" me.

I found Dark Souls III for less than $20 within a year of its release.

Reminder: Just because a game doesn't interest you doesn't mean it's not good or not worthwhile. WoW is still fucking huge and StarCraft started the E-Sports scene, to say these are irrelevant is an incredibly untrue statement.

Games should be getting more expensive, not cheaper. Cheaper games is not a good thing.

And I can get everything on Steam at Steam prices for my console games at my game store because I've taken the time to cultivate a relationship with the guys who work there.

Games should be staying around the same price. I'd rather play a game from a developer that's $60 but has decent gameplay, decent framerate, and decent graphics, than one that has absolute ass on one of those three things and costs $80-$90. The only time I'll ever pay more than $60 for a game is when it comes with something more than just the game like a steelbook, OST, or an artbook.

Also there's nothing wrong with preordering a game, preordering a game is not the same as buying it early or buying early access.

Baseless Insult with no way to back it up. People who choose to play PC simply want the most out of their games, and this is coming from someone who has five different consoles in his bedroom.

All the trolling aside, I'm glad the people here do not try to argue that consoles are superior. Believe it or not - some people still think that. Its like they are still stuck in the NES vs IBM PC days of gaming.

It's not baseless, it's based off of observations. You're one of the no-lifers I was talking about.

Define not having a life.

You can't without having an incredibly narrow and biased view as to what counts as having a life, but I'll humor it because I can probably check point most of your requirements anyways. It's kind of sad though how you have to resort to telling someone they have no life because they choose to game in a way you don't like.

I'm not trying to insult anyone, I'm just calling it how I see it.

Basically having a life means not having to buy 13 bags of catfood just to chicken out from asking the girl out who's sellin em.

I don't purchase games based on how "relevant" they are and neither should anyone else.

You mean buying a single bag of cat food that saved me having to buy it the week after and not seeing the individual? With the only reason I didn't talk to them the first time because I was clueless to their attitude?

You can criticize my actions and behavior, but that doesn't equate to not having a life, especially when the facts about the situation are all wrong.

Well claiming that PC doesn't have any games is kind of an implication that the games it does have are irrelevant. Nor does it make sense considering more and more relevant games are coming to PC after their console release.

Is anyone arguing their relevancy?

No it doesn't. League of Legends is relevant as hell, yet it still fucking sucks.

I don't care if a game is relevant. Most good games are irrelevant.

You mentioned that the PC has a huge library but said you'd rather have a small library of good games. Wouldn't it be silly to not find a single PC exclusive in that huge irrelevant library that was good?

Why are you being a dick, dude?

This is why nobody shares anything on this site, people just try to use it against you in some petty argument. Grow up.

what, am i supposed to ignore the observations i'm making when ive based my argument on them?

again im not trying to be a dick, thats just how ive seen it

go condescend to someone else

I'd rather have a large library of good games.

If such a thing existed on PC, I'd be happy to concede your point.

These are the top selling games sorted by reviews

If this is a small selection of good games, then you can't be reasoned with.

Kiss the fattest part of my ass, you aren't making any argument when you're telling someone to "get a life". That's the most brain dead thing you could say.
That's tame in comparison to:
