There are good and bad graphics. Graphics we consider bad now were good at one point. However, if a developer charges me $60 for a game and I get 90's graphics, I'm gonna have a problem with that.

Yeah, that's you. And a lot of other people, sure, but that's still you.

Better specs allow you to play the game with a higher definition.

And?

If you asked me if I'd rather play the original release of a game or its HD remake, I'd pick the original every single time.

Put Skyrim on a console and on a PC on ultra settings. Tell me which one looks better.

Definitely Skyrim on console.

You're objectively wrong because it objectively looks better on PC. You're an idiot to think an inferior machine is superior because you want it to be.

How the hell does Ni No Kuni have bad graphics? Are you drunk?

Again that's these motherfuckers art style thats why I said its not the fucking subject. stupid motherfuckers need to bring random bullshit up and act all smug id crack you in the motherfuckin mouth if we were having this conversation face to face both of you fucking gay ass internet shit

But graphics is entirely dependent on what kind of visuals you're aiming for.

Ni No Kuni for example has what would be considered "poor" graphics but it still looks phenominal because what you're seeing is what the creators intended the game to look like.

That isn't the discussion. Don't start with this "art style" autism. I'm talking cold hard graphics.

I don't care about graphics that much. I'm not picky. But games look better on PC and specs absolutely matter. Better specs allow you to play the game with a higher definition. You're just being foolish and contrarian, mixing your ideals and what "should" be with the fact that a high end computer will have a better looking game. If you have a problem with that buy a computer or you can (like me) not really care about graphics that much. I certainly didn't get into PC gaming because of graphics. I don't see why you're fixating on this and me as if I'm one of those fags that's obsessed with graphics. I'm just stating the truth.

We can discuss this elsewhere if you want, if you're interested in actually having a discussion and you're not just being contrarian. I'll stop because a mod asked me to and I don't want to derail this thread.

Nobody likes that.

i can think of like 12 games where i'd rather the graphics be shitty than not

How would you like it if you're paying a lot of money at a gourmet restaurant and the steak is overcooked and they serve you dollar wine?

maybe i like my steak overcooked--and who the fuck are you to say that i can't

Why do you like bad graphics?

So you like rubbery steak and cheap wine while they charge you $100? You think that's acceptable?

Everything looks better on PC. Ultra settings on PC will always look better than consoles. That's just a fact.

"better" how

how is that a fact

I'm not great with the jargon but anti aliasing and shit is better on PC. The colors pop, more frames per second on certain games. It's just a better machine. My laptop has better specs by far than an Xbox or PS4. Of course it's gonna look better.

Do I personally care? Not really. That's not why I play games on PC. I'm just not interested in any console exclusives and I am interested in PC exclusives, and the games that interest me on console are also on PC. But facts are facts.

So are the settings menus supposed to be fucked up? They're total gibberish. How do I fix this?

PC or console?

PS4



Not my pic, but it's the exact same issue. Supposedly it's due to a bad patch. I thought it was some gimmick at first.

that's pretty quality

Looks way better on PC.

i doubt it

I thought you were part of the master race.

Did you download all the updates? Maybe one of the updates is corrupted.

Yeah but I'm renting it. I'll delete the updates and just play offline, which is unfortunate given the Souls-y online content.

Yeah you can get quite a bit of XP and a lot of consumables from corpses. Why aren't you playing on PC?

Just to live up to my reputation as an anti I seem to have acquired, you should take note that there's heaps of researching pointing towards having a gun in the house being a strong risk factor for a whole lot of stuff. You (or anyone else in the house) is a whole lot more likely to end up injured, shot or killed than you are to fend off an invader. There's strong links between gun ownership and suicide, escalating partner violence, fatal accidents in the household and so. The odds of you being killed in a home invasion are nearly astronomically small, while having a gun puts you and your family at a much higher risk.

As a quote from this article: "Everyone likes to pretend that he or she is more rational, more responsible, and more immune to the risks that gun ownership poses relative to the average American. Yet, we know from gun violence statistics that many are simply misjudging their own competency. Everyone thinks he or she is above average, but half are mistaken."

Not looking to convince you otherwise, but you should be aware of the risks and what the science has to say.

Statistics on "accidents" are great but when your home is being invaded by 3 thugs and you'll wish you had a fully loaded pistol instead of waiting until the police arrive.

I could post news articles on people who have defended their home or themselves, but there's no point. It's not about what other people do, it's about what you do. OP was in the army after all.

Sure, but I thought I made it pretty clear I'm not trying to stop him from buying a gun. The point is just that everybody thinks they're more responsible than the average person and yet over 100,000 people are shot or die by guns every year in the US. For every news story of someone defending their family from homicidal home invaders, there's 10 of impulsive suicides, kids shooting themselves with their parents' gun or arguments devolving into shots fired. If Charlie feels that buying a gun is the best thing to do, he should. I just don't want him to do so without knowing that no matter how responsible you think you are, it's statistically much more likely for your gun to negatively affect you and your family than it is to fend off invading thugs.

He knows the risks. He was in the army. I'm sure he can handle a firearm and take proper care of it.

I haven't played this in 3 weeks dang

Fml I think this was a bad idea. Woke up today with massive anxiety, which I haven't felt ever since I was with her. Being friends entails a ton of new things. When she was out of my life i was horribly depressed but forcing myself to focus only on myself. But now that we're "friends" she's making her way back up to one of my primary focuses. And I start wondering what she's up to or want to hangout with her more. And if I break things off again and go no contact I start ALL OVER and will be a wreck for longer than I had to be. Fuuuuuuck

Not really, because you've already made progress in that department. Just call her and tell her it was a mistake to see each other so soon and you need some time for things to normalize.

It's never going to work out, so don't worry about it.

White people cant catch a break. If they conquer the world, they're evil. If they try to be tolerant and explore other people's cultures, they're evil. Sure it's stupid and borderline disrespectful, but pushing this narrative really only drives whites to revert to outright racism.
