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.

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

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.
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
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.

get a life

I don't care what the average fucking idiot thinks about some game. I care what I think about games.

90% of those games are dogshit.

The 10% that aren't are either not good enough or available on console.

Fuck man, there are so many indie titles with Zelda-like gameplay or art style.

I'm not really sure what else you enjoy besides Dark souls and Zelda.
You mentioned Quake - that's a big one and its infinite supply of mods. The new Quake will be a PC exclusive too. Half-life 1 is a PC exclusive too.

My point here is that PC is objectively better, any other preferences are merely just that - preferences. Consoles are subjectively better, with maybe one clear advantage over PCs' and that is (besides price), split-screen.
Console gaming also has a certain authentic feeling to it. Like this is a machine MADE to play games, while a PC is machine that CAN play games.

HMV is going to take over the video game store.

Stores dedicated to video games are going to be rare and would need to have bigger collection, while the other group that shall take over it will be companies like HMV adding video games to heir movie and music collections.

You kow HMV recently went out of business, right?

Plus, they're a Canadian store so not entirely relevant.

Good point only seen them in dead malls. But something of that style or hobby stores. It's definitely not going to be in chain stores.

Yeah. And it seems like Gamestop is moving into that hot topic / hmv market so who knows what happens

If I want to play Zelda, I'll play Zelda. On console.

Half-Life 1 is available on PS2, my friend. I own it.

You make all these concessions, but you still say PC is somehow "objectively" better.

In what way is it objectively better? The fact is, you just like it better. It's your preference.

It is objectively better. Its endless features and peripherals. Its library of games (total count) is like all console generations combined and then some. It doesn't just play games, you can use this machine for all sort of things, free online services too. You can connect your PC to a tv or a monitor, you can use any controller you want. you have the ability to properly stream games, you can type messages faster to people you are playing with using the keyboard, the mouse is objectively better than a thumbstick.

How are mods bad? Devs actively encourage them. id Software specifically made their engine be modular so replacing / adding parts would be easy for the community. Steam Workshop is a place where creative people can share their game creations. Heck, consoles even added this feature and it was like a selling point (on consoles) for Fallout 4. Back in the day, the young Russian kids could get a Russian mod for games so they could enjoy narrative driven games in their native language because companies didn't localise games for the RU market.

FYI, I play on X1, PS Vita, PSOne, X360, PSP and N64 only. My PC runs integrated graphics, so I can only run pre-2004 games on there.

The point was the main revenue for music in today's world is digital. Same will happen with video games. It already is for PC, and increasingly is for consoles.

that doesn't mean the physical store is going anywhere
I never said they were. Just that it's not as prevalent and odds are won't be a big company like Gamestop anymore.

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.
You better say maybe with the first two

you know I'm watching

Okay, but I don't understand why any of this makes it objectively better.

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?
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.
They do, they're just not to your liking you silly slut. If we're talking about exclusives that is.

No one is gonna give a shit about uh... idk, Battlefield on either.

I find mods for things like Skyrim to be a mixed bag.

Good because holy hell, you have a community of passionate modders/fans who can still breathe life into a game that's 5+ years old at this point (and funnily enough, Fallout 4 modding is mostly dead because shit game).

But on the other hand, a LOT of the most popular mods basically boil down to "shit Bethesda shoulda put in, but either didn't have the time to, or were too bad at what they did".

And then they take credit for it (they literally updated the game on console with like 4 of the most popular mods from PC. Things like magic kill cam, better underwater visuals, etc), or try to go off their own marketing as "Yes our games are easily modded so have at it!" which leads me to believe they DON'T put as much effort into some things as they could have. Obviously the big things like environments and what not are, but when it boils down to things like skills, combat mechanics, and balancing? Nah.

Clearly that becomes less relevant as time goes on because new ideas that they would never consider or have time to put into the game (such as Frostfall), but yeah.

but that's my point--you're gonna prefer the platform that actually has the games you want on it

if you want to play console games, then bada-bing bada-boom, console gaming is probably better for you

my problem with fatherlynick is that he's trying to argue that PC gaming is "objectively superior," when what he means to say is, "i personally prefer PC gaming"--there's nothing objective about it

if more PC gamers learned how to say that, the world would be a better place

Think of it like - a superior product. Like a car or something. A Golf gets you from A to B, but so does a Bugatti or a Mustang.
Good luck trying to argue that a Golf is better than a Bugatti tbh.

Are mods bad even when developers support them and pay mod makers to make more mods? What about things like DOTA ( a mod of WOW) or CS (a mod of Half-life) ?
