i remember buying dracula x chronicles specifically for SotN, like five years ago, but i still haven't even touched the game lmao
so you've never played symphony of the night
not meaningfully

i have, several years ago, but it belonged to my uncle and i only have vague memories of it
so you don't have an opinion of it, then

like, in comparison to super metroid
not really

i probably would like it, given how much inspiration it takes from my favorite game, but you know, nothing's certain

Do you guys think it'd be better for my to buy the HD version of Wind Waker, or the original? They're roughly the same price on Amazon.The original is maybe slightly more expensive.
I thought you already owned it.
No, I borrowed the original from TBlocks.
Oh yeah, that's right.

You could get HD, then, especially if it's cheaper.

I personally prefer the original, and a few months ago, I would've told you that it's the definitive or perhaps "objectively" better version of the game. And then I found out that WWHD lets you take selfies with the Pictobox. Yeah, that pretty much makes it better. Still don't like the Swift Sail though.

I don't think you've see how cute Class is. This chick is p ugly tbh. Maybe it's just her man-brows.
Her attitude is ugly as well. Nobody is gonna want to date a girl with a bio like that in her profile.

All cringe and obsession aside, he sorta has a point. Bungie did shat on thier old fans.

Also i find his voice somewhat soothing. He needs to make videos on some boring stuff like pottery so i could go to sleep to it.
he sounds constipated in this video tbh

The intriguing thing about this game to me is that it's actually built like a true fighting game for once, with some real e-sports potential. Might even see it at EVO or something, which would be interesting. Depends on how the meta is.

Not gonna buy a shitbox for it, though.

we're obviously talking about multiplatform games here if we're comparing the amount of money the publishers/devs make on a console sale vs a pc sale. console exclusives don't play into this conversation at all.
because they invalidate your entire position
as i said, they're not part of the conversation at all. if you're going to do a comparison of how much money is made per copy of a game between console and pc you're going to have to use a title that's on both.

otherwise i could throw out a claim like devs make more money from the xbox than they do on the ps4 per copy because halo is on the xbox and not the ps4.
if you want to purchase a lesser-quality version of a game in order to support the developers more, then that's your prerogative and i respect that

personally, i need more of a reason to sacrifice my enjoyment of a game to give extra support to those who made it
ok
too bad that's all bullshit and that's not why you play games on PC at all

this is a negative
Not for them making profits it's not

thus, not a negative

you only say it is because you like physical copies. What you prefer is subjective. What the developer gains via money and revenue is objective
and as it turns out, the only video games worth playing on this entire planet are the ones that are not available on steam
that makes no sense, verb

cross platform is something that exists for almost everything
so i can purchase and play zelda on my PC, legally and morally
that's a console exclusive

you didn't answer my question, and LC says the same thing

cross platform is what we're on about
well, i'm not

what is your question

this is the anatomy of a $60 retail purchase. Valve takes 30% of a sold game on steam which is slightly higher than your average physical retailer. however when you remove the cost of distribution, console platform royalties, and return (unsold inventory) that goes back tot he publisher/dev instead which grants them $42 of a $60 purchase instead of $27.
great

and

i'm sure you realize

that this doesn't apply for games that are not available on steam

e.g.

any game that's actually worth playing

you didn't pay the devs for their work though so it's really no different in their eyes. the retailer instead got to double dip on the same copy with the devs and publishers seeing nothing from it.
i don't care

if the developers are THAT greedy, then they can go fuck themselves

used games don't support the developer though as the only one who makes money from a used sale is the retailer.
retailers deserve money too, and assuming the copy wasn't stolen, there's nothing wrong with buying games this way

you might even call it a triple win since devs and publishers actually get more money from a new pc sale than they do a console one.

buying second hand does nothing for devs and publishers and is pretty much no different than a pirated copy for them.
one copy of one game only needs to be paid for once

the unauthorized reproduction of digital copies of games is in no way comparable to reselling one already-paid-for copy that hasn't been reproduced in any way, but cute attempt at a "gotcha"

why not play it now i have the means to? if i don't have to wait 6 months for something to go down to 40 i won't. buying a new game is a non issue for me.

Not sure why you're trying to start something over me supporting developers and publishers via legal means.
if that was your original stated purpose for buying games new, then i would've respected that

but in general, it's not hard to find used games cheaper than retail price less than a month within any given game's release

especially when cost appears to be of some sort of concern to you, or at least worth bringing up in a discussion of whether PC gaming is "cheaper"

your argument falls flat on its ass when you realize that you don't have to buy games new, and stores that sell used games tend to sell them cheaper than they are on fucking steam

to illustrate what i'm talking about with long run price savings i'll compare my steam and xbox one collection.

i've got about 40 games on my xbox one and 116 on steam. about a third of my xbox one games were given to me for free so for to make things simple i'll say 30 of those 40 games i paid for. over the few years i've owned my xbox one i've paid about 1,800 USD for games and we're not counting any of the DLC or XBL i've bought over those years either. during the entire time i've owned my pc i've probably paid about 500 USD for 116 games which has saved about 1,300 USD in comparison.
that's why you don't buy games new you silly fuck

why are you buying 30 brand new games over the course of "a few years"
i have the income to do that?
>willingly spending more money than you need to play a game on console

but why

i don't care if you're fucking warren buffet, why would you go and do some stupid shit like that

if nothing else, this thread is evidence that most of the benefits pc players spew off is hype and bullshit. so i'm happy about that.
to be FAIR, you and i are in a minority of people who just don't care about things like graphics or any superfluous "advantage" that a gaming pc has to offer
