Your arguments always boil down to "I'm right because I say so". That's not really a legitimate argument, but whatever dude.
"We have better graphics!" In your opinion.
"We have better frame rates!" In your opinion.
"It's cheaper!" No it isn't.
These aren't opinions, Verb. PC has a higher range of graphics and almost always has a more stable frame rate, along with games going on sale for far cheaper than Xbox or PS4 do unless it's a summer event or something.

The only opinion in that list was the better games one.

Because that's what a PC gamer's argument always boils down to.

"We have better graphics!" In your opinion.
"We have better frame rates!" In your opinion.
"It's cheaper!" No it isn't.
These aren't opinions, Verb.
Yes, they are. Whether you think something looks better based solely on the fact that it has more polygons is an opinion. I might think it looks like garbage.

Wind Waker is low-poly by today's standards, but there's no game on the market right now--NOT EVEN THE HD REMAKE--that I think looks better than the original Gamecube release of Wind Waker. It's one of the most visually stunning games of all time to me. But it's not Uncharted 4. I don't like Uncharted 4's graphics. They don't impress me.

Realism =/= good. If you think Uncharted 4's graphics are good, that is your opinion.

The same goes for frame rate. I might think certain games look way better in 0.00001fps than 1200fps, and you can't say anything about that. You can't tell me that my perspective is wrong.

PC gamers are incapable of arguing facts, so I demonstrate that by being an elitist myself.
I play games on PC and I'm arguing with you on a level headed and understanding platform I think.

When you say better graphics, you're implying (at least from what I gathered), which could run the game at higher settings and a more crisp picture. You went on to Wind Waker, which takes a completely different art direction. I agree with you that games that go for art like that hold up over time far longer than games that go for a realistic look. But I feel you should approach what you say with against the arguer, with the same logic you use to defend your points.

Quote

Like this for example. I could say the exact same thing you just did, only swapping it around for Wind Waker. I feel there is no consistency in the points you make sometimes. Keep in mind this is coming from someone who loves Wind Waker too. I think it's the best 3D Zelda (2D being Link to the Past).

Quote

If you re-read what I said, I stated more STABLE frame rates. As in, it doesn't dip down as much. It's the reason I dislike Revelations 2 on PS4 more so than Xbone (at least before the fix). It constantly dipped down to 24 frames or lower and was just jarring. If a game is 60fps but is constantly dropping, as opposed to a stable 30 frames, you're correct in thinking I'd take the 30fps. I'm not coming from a "LOL 60fps always better" standpoint when I stated that.

Could I buy a good gaming PC for the same price as a new console?

Explain
"Good" would be stretching it, but you can get an acceptable PC for that kind of money. You won't run recent games on max settings at 60fps in 1080p or 4K, but you'll probably be able to run them on low to mid settings.

I don't really care about super HD graphics anyway. Would I be able to play most games, have mods, record and stream gameplay etc?

You are, and I thank you for that. Unfortunately, nobody else is.

Quote

I have, but not everybody is getting the message. Even you--you're still under the impression that just because PC is capable of producing more polygons than a console can, that somehow makes the graphics "better." Sure, that's your opinion, but in what way does it look better to you? What makes it objectively better?

The fact that it looks more realistic? What if I don't care about realism? What if I think less realism is better?

You fail to grasp these alternate perspectives, and it's just more shades of PC elitism to me. No, your platform isn't better because it has more processing power. What's important is if it looks good to the individual player, and what looks good to the individual player is going to vary. It's subjective. That's just the way it is.

I addressed that point in my other post, so I'll wait for you to reply to that one. I just want to re-state that when I say higher graphics, I don't mean realism. Like I said in the other post, I favor a creative art style over realism any day of the week anyway. It feels more intimate to me, more creative, and holds up longer over time.

When I think of better graphics, I think of things more so like how shadows looks, the lighting, and the anti-aliasing, along with Ambient Occlusion.

I suppose you could say shadows, and lighting are a big deal for me in games.

Да ли је то истина или се само шалиш?
I couldn't give a fuckin shit. In mah opinion, tha only playas whoz ass is at liberty ta chizzle/add shiznit ta tha game is tha pimpers. Everyone else should leave tha game ridin' solo or make they own game. It aint nuthin but like pissin up in a museum.

If tha pimper supports it, like Bethesda do, thatz fine yo, but I still don't smoke wit dat shit. Would you wanna be playaz wit one of mah thugs whoz all gravy wit you pissin all over his house, biatch? I shizzle wouldn't.

"But mah playas has they own copy of tha game."

And you can do whatever you want. By all means, mod. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! I just don't smoke wit it, n' I never will.

Thank you for this Ender.

I agree with you that games that go for art like that hold up over time far longer than games that go for a realistic look. But I feel you should approach what you say with against the arguer, with the same logic you use to defend your points.
Whenever I say "better graphics," I always put it in quotation marks, because the concept is meaningless to me from an objective standpoint. I don't know what "better graphics" is supposed to mean, but you sort of defined it for me here. You define it as "a more crisp picture."

All right, so you like crisp pictures. That's fine, but that's still just your opinion. Maybe I prefer grainy, jagged graphics, because it looks more like a video game to me. There's a familiar nuance to it that I just like. It's better to me.

Now, is it always better to me? No, I'm just saying, for the sake of argument, that graphics you'd consider "objectively" worse, because they're less crisp, someone else could actually prefer those graphics. And they're not just being contrarian--they genuinely like it more.

Therefore, one cannot be any better than the other, objectively speaking. As long as there's someone out there who says things like, "I prefer 8-bit pixel graphics to modern HD graphics," it's an opinionated subject, and it can't be cited as a fact.

The only thing you can say is this: The majority of people enjoy HD graphics. But since it's a lot easier to just say "it's better," that's what we've been conditioned to think. But that's not actually the truth.

Quote

Yes, you could do that. I'm not trying to tell you that Wind Waker's style of graphics are objectively good--just that I really really like them. That's my opinion.

Are they better than Uncharted 4's graphics? I certainly think so. But that doesn't make it a fact.

Of course my own logic applies to my own opinions.

I'm not coming from a "LOL 60fps always better" standpoint when I stated that.
Again, believe it or not, someone might actually like unstable frame rates. They might think it enhances the experience in some way. Are you going to tell them that they're wrong?

My point in a sentence:

Everything you could ever dislike about a game's graphics, there's going to be someone out there who might actually like them--and that alone is what makes it subjective.

I don't believe it because I've never met anyone who actually legitimately prefers that. I feel like you're just against the argument for the sake of going against it. Usually with devils advocate you throw the other side of the perspective at someone, however I've not met anyone or heard anyone support this perspective you're presenting.

Hi.

Not that that even matters. The point is that it's conceivable that such an individual could exist, and that can't be ignored. If you've never met anyone in your life who doesn't enjoy pizza, you can't just assume that everyone likes pizza.

You've clearly said time and time again that you like stable frames when opposed to 60 fps because you can't tell the difference. So you're telling me you suddenly like 1 frame a second (which isn't even a moving picture) to support your argument?

Pizza compared to a form of media that requires stability is different.

No, I'm just saying it isn't black and white. Just because I tend to prefer stable frame rates doesn't mean that I can't enjoy unstable frame rates. It depends on the game.

I don't know if you've been following my Dark Souls thread lately, but I made it past Blighttown last week. As you know, the frame rate in that area gets pretty bad at times, and since I'm playing on console, there's no way for me to fix that. I just kinda had to deal with it, and it kinda amplified the general suckery of the area.

But it's still conceivable to me that someone might think the dropped frames could enhance the experience. I would disagree with them, and I'd probably consider them weird, but I'm not at liberty to tell them that their opinion is wrong or that my opinion is objectively better than theirs. And neither are you.
