Gaming / Re: Why do most of you guys game on consoles as opposed to PC?

Speaking in terms of visual fidelity and innate customization*

And I'm also talking about multiplatform games that were also released for PC, not emulation. There are many cases of poorly ported PC games as well, like MGS2, but the vast majority released since the early 2000s function at a level equal to or superior to the console counterpoint.
I know what you meant--I still don't agree, for the reasons I gave throughout this thread. If it's "better" because "60" is a higher number than "30", then that's just a preference. It's not actually superior.
First definition of superior in the OED, EAT MY ASS cUNT.

But most PC games aren't DS4 compatible by default, they require work-arounds.
Sadly, but I got an easy system I just run and it works.
Steam's getting better about it, what with Steampad support becoming morw available (and it being programmable for the games thag don't), but work-around vs innate support is a dictionary example of inconvenience.

Not to say that the PC version of a game isn't usually the best version, that's true.
It's not, though.

PC gaming just lacks the convenience of console/handheld gaming, and I think that in most cases it's worth the trade-off.
How does it lack the convenience in terms of console? You mean sitting on a couch and playing? I can understand that.
Which you can do with a PC
But most PC games aren't DS4 compatible by default, they require work-arounds.

PC isn't as portable either; I tend to take a console and a couple of handhelds with me whenever I go out of town or spend the night at friends' houses, and a desktop is just not made for that kind of mobility.

PC is also limited to LAN in 99% of cases regarding local multiplayer. Even on PS4 I have more options for couch co-op, even before throwing out the games I don't like (such as MOBAs, which is THE couch co-op genre of PC gaming)

There's also party chat when online. It's much easier to simple pop online, see parties are ongoing, then join and chat compared to PC's alternatives.

It's just not as convenient for my purposes. There's a laundry list of other reasons. Admittedly, the list does include platitudes like "a controller just feels better for x game" or "I like to play the game on its original platform when possible".

Because sometimes I'd rather chat with friends, play couch co-op games, or just simply play vidya in a comfortable position. The last point is why I use my PSP for emulation instead of my laptop; it's just more conformable and convenient.

Why is changing the color of an item equally as expensive as the item itself?
It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take such an ungodly amount of time just to unlock anything.
Yeah, I just got the 1000gp Infiltrator BDU earlier and it's going to cost me 1000gp to not have it clash with anything but black items.

You already know about it, but for the sake of explaining to the audience, I have a very "categorical" line of thinking. In this case, "internet people" go in one box, and "real life friends" go in another. I don't like Legos mixed in with my dolls, you dig?
Wait, question--so would you never ever add anyone you know personally on Steam, either?

or is steam a grey area for you
if so, what is the real difference between steam and PSN and XBL, in terms of who you add
I don't have any irl friends on Steam for a reason.

I reverted back to 30 replies per thread, so now I see 180 pages too.

I'm tired of always having to keep in mind that everyone else uses a different setting than me -_-
That's what happens when you MOD, Verby-Derby



This is my new mental image of you, by the way.

I just don't like it when different facets of my life interact.
I know the feeling.
i don't

we're all people on this planet--some of us are just farther apart than others, that's all
i always just keep that in mind, so i've never had the anxiety

Fair enough, I guess. Do you always play alone or do you have other people you play with?

I assume the former could get boring.
Most of my friends don't like Stealth games, but I can play it with my little brother if he ever decides to download MGO e.e

Infiltrator isn't that OP
Only if you're a scrub

Are you a scrub?

And it's pretty deadly in combination with Instant Transmission CQC
It's fun killing the idiot infiltrators who think it's a good idea to bum rush people across the street.
Which is why you're guaranteed at least a 4:1 if you use common sense and realize that you're only 95% invisible.
It's pretty easy to spot cloaked people who aren't using cover or shadows.


Like, super across the map easy. I CAN SEE YOU RIGHT THERE YOU FOOL.

Night maps are where Infiltrators excel.

I hear the lag is really bad sometimes. Like you'll be 5 feet away in the middle of a melee when you're suddenly dragged to the other person.

Thanks for being our beta testers, console users~
I've been shooting someone only for them to tank every shot and teleport CQC to me MULTIPLE times.

Just saying, nobody walks around their house with mud-covered boots. People tend to take even sneakers off at the door unless they plan to go back out.
