Poor people play on PC, but they're usually eastern europeans that are technically white.

Well no shit. In the US blacks only make up 13% of the population. it's just that in the black community 90% of them prefer Sony and PS4.

The global nemesis is very much like a raid just without the 1 hour dungeon buildup before it.

Are you seriously trying to say XBCX isn't a fucking offline MMO? Holy shit you're delusional. That's what K-Kojima was going for when he designed the game.
>>
>>322968489
Most RPGs only have 1 or 2 superbosses, XBCX has over 50 (much like an MMO). Most RPGs don't require over 50 hours of playtime to 100%, XBCX requires over 200 (much like an MMO).

Also you don't know what horizontal story telling means, as the vast majority of RPGs use vertial story telling. Horizontal story telling is almost exclusive to MMOs. And world building is pretty much only exclusive to MMOs too.
>>
>>322965886
Convenience factor.

Add to that the fact that most out-of-the-box PC's these days have everything you need to run even the most sophisticated games at a decent level, and there's really no fucking excuse to not have one or both.
>>
>>322968396
Okay non-white consolefag. Go back to playing Bloodborne for the 8th time.
>>
>>322965886
I don't (unless you count playing on old consoles like SNES from time to time). Was idort until around 2012 then made the switch to PC full time when the new console specs surfaced.
>>
>>322968682
>The global nemesis is very much like a raid just without the 1 hour dungeon buildup before it.

a raid is a large group of people fighting a monster in one instance, not separate 4 people max groups having off millions of health bars

and if you're counting a multiplayer only feature it's not offline now is it?

>>322968965
>XCX has over 50

no, this isn't XC1 where anything over the max level is a superboss. There are two (telethia and pharis) maybe 3 max super bosses. The level 90 joker tyrant below telethia is easier than level 60 large enemies

>bast majority of RPGs use vertical story telling

ya, vast majority. Not all

>world building is pretty much only exclusive to MMOs

is this a joke?

What
>>
>>322969614
A superboss is a boss after the final boss, and pretty much every tyrant over level 60 requires you to beat the game for some reason or another.

>ya, vast majority. Not all
Yeah like literally 99.999999999%. I honestly can't think of another RPG that doesn't use vertical story telling.

>is this a joke?
No. World building is pretty tied to horizontal story telling. Just because FF and DQ games have shallow lore doesn't mean they have world building.

This thread is funny but

it was literally one of the selling points

I tried getting into Xenoblade, but I hate games that lie to me.

>expect an RPG with robots and a good story

If I want a good RPG, I'd play Undertale or Lisa to be honest.

>>322969946
>pretty much every tyrant over level 60 requires you to beat the game

absolutely not. There are tyrants that drop to a single level 30 hexcanon form level 30 skells
>>
>>322969614
The only reason global nemesis wasn't a raid was because of hardware limitations, so what they did was give it billions of health and require you to make parties over and over to kill it
>>
>>322970190
so you admit it's not a raid

>Convenience
Consoles unfortunately lost that major advantage last gen. With all the installations, patches, updates, scarce offers on DLCs, general unoptimizations, faulty hardware, paid online etc. etc. It's no longer "plug and play" your favorite vidya; it's just buying overpriced shitty PCs with no advantages of one.

Very few reasons to own a console these days, especially "next gen" one. Maybe for three of if you're lucky four exclusive games that you really really want, otherwise it just seems like a waste in literally every other aspect.
>>
>>322970302
I'm not him. I definitely think you're a moron for insisting it's not an offline mmo though.

>>322970379
considering no one ever brings up a valid point as to how xenoblade is an offline mmo, I'd say not

what? World building is present in any fantasy/fiction world that brings elements that are non existent in the real world and tries to ground them into the world you are playing

unless it's something like kingdom hearts then it's whatever the creator pulls out of his/her ass at any time

A pc only has multiplats to play. Sure it plays them at higher resolution/fps but that does not make up for missing out on whole games.

A ps4 will run all of those and also have exclusives that aren't literal indie shit like tumblrtale.

I play on both, but if I had to choose only one, it would be ps4 all day everyday.

I can't tell if you're trying to argue against or for pc gaming, but I'd vote on the former.

to be fair, Diablo 2 is still better than 90% of modern console games
