    oh my god, I'm back on my bullshit Prestigious

    There's this guy at my work who "just doesn't get why" anyone would buy a console. I told him that a lot of my favourite games in recent years aren't on PC. He said that they're all bad. Then I mentioned Bloodborne and he got angry.

    Oh yea you're gonna get insane people acting in insane ways, I'm just saying there are genuine concerns for the Epic Game Store

    Also people should really just use itch.io tbh

    I was a huge PC gamer growing up but ever since I switched over to Mac for my production pipeline I just can't really justify getting another computer that is essentially a toy.

    Plus yeah Bloodborne

    Lifelong Mac user here, so same basically. If I somehow come into a lot of money, sure, I’ll buy a crazy PC lol but otherwise I’m probably good for now, especially if the streaming future takes off

    Yeah the prohibitive cost is what keeps me from playing on PC. Can’t justify it when consoles are so much cheaper in comparison and have great exclusives.

    I could never just do PC Gaming, as I love a lot of Nintendo and Sony exclusives, so I could never justify spending that much money on a gaming PC.

    also the xbox one x does exactly what I'd want out of a PC so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I don't miss the mouse, in fact I have HUGE CARPAL FUCKERY so it's probably better this way

    most of the comments about this topic (Epic) I've read are like "I'm not giving mah american dollar and data to the chinese".

    also, the only games I play on PC these days are Point & Click adventures. every time I look for something interesting on steam, I give up after 10 minutes because all I see are shitty one man projects a la fart simulator or something like that.

    PC doesn’t get Bloodborne or BOTW so it’s automatically inferior sorry master race I don’t make the rules

    At this point if it weren’t so expensive and such a hassle comparatively I could see how I would end up with just a PC and a Switch though. Then all I’d miss are Sony exclusives, which I’m usually not a huge fan of personally (THAT’s JUST ME - and yes I own a PS4 Pro regardless lmao). Since Microsoft started putting all their games on PC, the number of machines you need if you’re a completionist has been reduced by one I guess.

    oh my god, I'm back on my bullshit Prestigious

    I couldn't personally. Even disregarding the Sony exclusives that l love, games like Nier Automata and Nioh have such bad PC ports that I'd still need a console

    What are the issues with the EGS? People on Reddit keep mentioning but not expanding on anything. Is it really anything bad?

    Nier Automata is fine on PC with the FAR mod, I played through it on PC when it came out. Yea "but needing a mod in the first place!!!!!" but honestly it was super fine. Bad ports are becoming more of an exception rather than the rule that it used to be.

    Wow thanks phone

    oh my god, I'm back on my bullshit Prestigious

    Everyone in here loves Nier Automata too much to be reduced to that port lol

    As far as I understand, it’s very barebones still, and I guess you could argue about the potential problems concerning Chinese ownership (though most people definitely shouldn’t lol), though I don’t actually know in how far that applies

    There may be actual security issues with it trying to access other stuff on your computer and snooping around, recently it may have been fixed/debunked but it still seems a bit up in the air

    I got a nice PC and I never use it

    Most of my computer use is StarCraft and that's still really rare

    YEAH wtf

    In the scene where you first leave your flight unit, on the Steam port, the enemy that drops down that you have to kill drops into a crevasse where you can't see or shoot him so I get stuck at the opening sequence every time I try to see if it's any better

    Unplayable

    The PC had some good years though, a lot of AAA multiplatform games run pretty terribly on the base console models and have done so from the start of the generation
