PC is now officially the second most popular platform after PS4.
And you can argue Piracy is no longer an issue on PC.
Most Japanese Companies other than Namco and Capcom prefer to release games for the XBONE instead.
Why are most Japanese companies so brain dead.
Pc market isn't healthy at all.
very few games are succesful on pc, a game selling 800k for 10$ in a sale will never equel launch day console sales.
Dark souls series is one of the very few good selling japanese games on pc.
Japan's PC games are either really fun indie games, or hentai games. That's it. Can't really market that so much.
>>334753564
>Physical sales indicate popularity
Not when most people playing actual games buy parts and make it their own, only making a full new system ~every 8 years.
Whereas a Console Gen lasts between 4 and 7 years before you HAVE to upgrade or be left behind.

how great.
>>334753564
Hah you wish PCuck
>>334753564
Because PC gaming is mostly a western thing, and jap devs like to pretend that westerners don't exist.

>Lineage I

Holy fuck
>>334754506
As opposed to sports games and CoD, how great
>>334754652
and their games improve dramatically thanks to that
>>334754752
I wouldn't really say so seeing as how Japanese gaming is dying in favor of mobile shit.
>>334754506
And the PC has all the top console games plus exclusives like the ones you mentioned that will never, ever be on console.
Talk about cucked.
>>334754261
>Riot made that much money last year

yeah all those killer exclusives like xcom 2 and uhhhh

how awesome
>>334755008
The Chinese don't care because its still better than what they have normally.
>>334754261
GTAV a 2 year late port made that much money on PC? yet they refuse to launch PC versions the same time as Consoles
Fucking Cockstar
>>334754506
Nice goalpost moving.
I haven't pirated a game in well over a year, theres been nothing that I wanted to pirate, but usually thats those games where you are on the fence and it's potentially going to be shit. But have to take into account ive been playing less games.
>>334755160
They do it because they know people will double dip.
>>334753564
and how exactly does this stop me from doing what I want to do? Like anyone gives a shit
I own both a pc and a ps4
ps4 for pleb tier gud vidya fun
and pc for muh hardcore experience
>>334754506
>console is 2 Call Of, 2 Madden, 2 Fifa and a bunch of dumbed down casual crap like Fallout 4 or Battlefront
Jesus that's even worse
>>334755074
The entire 4k strategy genre, and RTS genre to name a few.
>>334755008
Nah Tencent made that money, Riot gets shit
I bet the retards regret so hard selling to Tencent, they would be billionaires
>>334755074
You're thinking of Destiny.
Japanese game publishers are fucking tonedeaf to anything outside of Japan.
They don't realize that PC is more than porn-games and that they can actually make money there if they put effort into ports.
>>334753564
>Most Japanese Companies other than Namco and Capcom prefer to release games for the XBONE instead

Until console gaming releases actual SALES figures, you can't trust any measure of popularity from them.
Here's a little hint about how console makers and their game makers compute "sales" (along with every other primarily brick-and-mortar industry): "sales" figures are SHIPPED UNITS figures. Consoles can have millions of units sitting in store warehouses gathering dust and they count as "sales".
Don't believe in the console gaming lie.
>>334755074
Xcom 2 is better than any console exclusive this year
Ratchet & Clank was fun but i was sour it lacked so much content compared to the original
>PCucks are proud of shitty MOBAs being their "top sellers"
Gaming is dead. I can't stand it anymore, the community just gets worse every year.
>>334755493
>500k
>much
Maybe for PC
>>334753564
When Japan thinks of PC gaming, they usually don't figure "hardcore limit-break versions of console ports" or "mega-AAA i7/980 system requirements Star Citizen" the way the average "Master Race" dude does in the West.
Their "PC gaming" is an unholy trinity of visual novels, ASSFAGGOTS, and MMORPGs.
>>334754261
>I am happy that MMOs and MOBAs dominate my platform
What the fuck is wrong with you
>>334755630
>Console cucks are proud of shitty sports games and Destiny, the only exclusive that sold being their 'top sellers'
I weep for humanity.
>>334755630
League & COD are equally bad
Also Battlefront is just downright shit, how the fuck did it sell so much on consoles, it's dead on PC, rightfully so
>>334755493
Steam gets a cut, the price is less and i literally said it's one of the few exceptions that actually sells well.
>>334753564
PC gets plenty of Japanese games these days.
>>334753959
It's nowhere near as big as consoles, but it's a big and distinct enough audience to be worthwhile, and it's less front-loaded than console game sales.
>>334755691
>I am happy that sports games and Destiny dominate my platform
>>334755686
Don't forget eroge!
>>334755735
MOBAs and p2w games being top sellers on any platform is a fucking disgrace, I don't care what it is. They're almost always the barebones of what a game should be and never are fun, just addicting that you can't stop. It's cancerous.
>>334755493
>he thinks Valve doesn't get a cut from Steam sales
>when we know they were taking 75% for paid mods
Rlly
>>334755831
Difference is that the top 11 to top 50 that's not on the list will be much broader for consoles than on pc.
Pc is dominated by f2p.
>>334755691
>MMOs dominate my platform
There's WoW, the biggest, which even then has declining subs.
MOBAs are absolute trash, so I won't disagree there.
>>334755659
It's a lot for a game that reused 70% of its assets and had cheap marketing.
>>334755890
That's kids and 3rd worlders. It's a shame they don't have money to buy real games.
>>334755831
I'm not. Not at all.
But I'm not the one posting sales figures and boasting about the death of gaming.
>>334755983
Consoles are dominated by COD & Sports shit, that's even worse
>>334753564
But the PS4 isn't the most popular platform, the 3DS is.
>>334754261
Too bad the sales under PC are for absolute shit games. The games listed under consoles aside from FIFA and Madden are way better.
>>334755659
500k for the type of game Dark Souls is is fucking huge. It's not a big-budget AAA title, it's one of the few indisputable low-to-mid-budget successes.
>>334754261
>"people" are still whaling out this hard on DFO
>the top PC games are run mostly by Chinese and Koreans
Somehow sports games and CoD are less cancerous than this mess
>>334756074
>even worse
Debatable.
This besides the point, nobody is saying to criticise one you have to support the other. So I'm not sure why you're projecting your view that everyone who opposes MMO/MOBA supports COD.
>And you can argue Piracy is no longer an issue on PC.
How could you argue that?
>>334756145
>most popular platform in Japan runs in a crystal clear 240p
Nintendo, please make a new 3DS with a better resolution already. I kind of want to try out Monster Hunter, but the newer ones are only on 3DS, and I'd rather play on Wii U, and we all know that's not happening anymore.
>>334756141
>he says whilst proving MMOs/MOBAs sell more
Not sure if you're actually retarded or baiting super hard.
Hope it's the latter.
>>334755160
This. GTA V have been longer on ps4 and it's still in the top selling games on steam.
>>334754261
I didn't know world of tanks did that well. Impressive.
>All these bootyblasted console kids
>PC, best experience with any multi-plat game sans that one shitty Batman game
>PS4, has Bloodborne
>Xbone, has shit
Consoles are shit this gen. Unless you are utterly baited by that one good exclusive, PC is flatly better.
>>334756440
That's actually says more about the state of the Steam community than anything else
>a 2 year late port of a shit game is still a top seller over a year later
>>334756678
Hey, come on now, we have Ratchet & Clank too.
>>334756678
>He thinks Arkham Knight is the only bad PC Port
It's just the only unplayable one
PC regularly gets shafted with game ports. DaS3 is even a super recent example.

Probably just because millions of russians, brazilians and peruvians are playing free to play shit.
I would guess 95% of PC gamers use a pentium 4 computer.
Why would anyone ever make PC games ?
>autistic fanbase

>>334757114
Silly anon, we both have multiplats.
But multiplats don't count remember? Guess we both have no games now!
>>334756679
So it's a bad thing that people want to play with the superior version of this game? After all, it's the 3rd best selling game on console with both xbox and ps4 sales combined. >>334754261
>>334757114
Yeah games I can still play with my 10 year old computer. I'm not a faggot so I don't need my games to be 120fps 4K shit.
PC exclusives:
>abandonware pixel indie shit
>crowdfunded dissapointing garbage
>Sex games ? (weirdo)
>emulated console games (lmao)
>>334753564
Third most popular platform, after smartphones.
I mean, if you're counting PC "gamers" then you're obliged to count iOS "gamers" because 99% of them are the same.
>>334757304
That list is actually for digital transactions (cosmetics, season passes, etc) not game sales.
>>334757087
Actually, most popular IPs nowadays are actually computer IPs. The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, GTA, Call of Duty, Deus Ex, and Battlefield are some of them. While it's not really comparable to them, DooM was literally ported to every god damn console in the market cause of how huge it was on PC.
Whether you interpret that as ">no ones PC games they said" or "PCFags on SUICIDE WATCH" is up to you.
>>334757304
>superior version of this game
You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd.
>>334757451

WHAT THE FUCK AM I READING
>>334756954
Honestly, I think the performance gulf between the consoles and PC disguised a lot of the shitty ports
>>334757079
SO I'm being a tryhard by having 32GB of ram
>>334757618
Just because (You) don't like the game it doesn't mean that this is not one of the best selling game right now.
>>334755160
Because they'd work it out and figure that it's financially viable to do it so they can get people to double dip. One-platform people with a "stick it to the man!" mentality are still a vast minority, for better or worse.
>>334757954
Where did I say that it wasn't one of the best selling games?
I said it's a shit game, and bragging about a shit game is silly.
>>334754506
>acting like cod, fifa and madden are any better then mmorpgs and mobas
Top grossing lists are obviously always casual shit. You can seriously think that there's a single good game in any of the 3 lists, right?
Either way, the point is pc games can make money just fine.
Not making a pc port when you already spent the money marketing for xbone and ps4 is stupid.
GTA would have lost 200 mil if it didn't have a pc port. That's a shitload of money.
>>334757810
Unless you work in the movie industry anything above 16 Gb is overkill.
And even then 16 GB is more than enough to do HD movie editing.
Hell even 3d rendering no longer uses that much ram considering how powerful graphics cards are now.
99% of games today barely use more than 6 gigs of ram.
Not to mention most of the games ram gets stored in the GPU making ram usage even less of an issue.
If you have a PC for gaming only more than 16 gigs of rams is a waste of money.
And even then 16 gigs is only good as a preparation fr possible future titles that may use more than 8 because chances are you will never have a situation ware your system needs more than 8.
>>334756678
>>334756794
Arkham Knight plays fine if you have a 980 + 16gb ram. If you have any less you don't qualify for master race.
>>334758278
>the point is pc games can make money just fine
If it's an MMO or a MOBA.
Also, that list is for online transactions, not game sales.
So that's 200m from GTAO, not GTAV game sales.
>>334755691
>I am happy that annually released <guns & sports> dominate my platform
>>334758539
>if you are unhappy about one thing, you must support other thing

>>334758528

And it has to be either a shooter or sports game to succeed on consoles. What's your point?
>>334758165
I don't like game therefore its shit because my mommy tells me i am always right.
And i know i am the most special original snowflake there is.I bet you ware thinking about posting YouTube videos of people who also have your shitty option to somehow make it seam like you are i right because you are not the only person in the world who has a shit opinion.
>>334757079
I had an old 2GB laptop
It was so bad it couldnt even run TF2 at 30 FPS
I'm so glad I have a gaming PC now
>>334758774
>he actually likes GTAV
Look at him, look at him and laugh
>>334758528
gta is right there on that list buddy
It's ridiculous to think that pc doesn't make money.
If you're not making a sports game or a shooter then getting the maximum number of players by porting to pc is just smart business sense.
>why don't the Japanese put games on PC?
Price fixing. The only place to get games in Japan is only on the PlayStation, and by being the means of getting the games, publishers are free to keep their prices high for as long as they want. This is the main reason why all these Japanese Steam ports are region locked so that the Japanese do not have access to them.
>>334758341
Main reason I even have 32 is because I bought 16GB for my computer during a holiday sale. A relative who's good with computers knows I like computers and he bought me 16GB of (coincidentally) the same model for xmas, so I thought "fuck it" and popped it into my motherboard.
>>334758898
>gta is right there on that list buddy
Yes, for its MMO micro transactions
Again, that list is for online transactions not game sales.
>>334758878
>>334758878
>Someone likes a game i dot like they must be retarded for not having a superior opinion like me.
>>334757425
>weirdo
>>334758669
My point is that you can use sales figures from micro transactions in MMOs and MOBAs and ask "Why aren't Japanese developers making SP games for PC?"
>>334758953
Wasn't due also to their used market?
>>334759054
It includs console microtransactions too. Are trying to imply they're different somehow?
>>334759192

>>334757079
this is retarded as fuck,
i have never used more than 8 gigs of ram in my life and one time i was playing minecraft with over 100 shitty un-optimized mods, while also hosting an entirely separate choppy of said minecraft for 5 people, while hosting a skype call.
this was as close as i have ever been to maxing my 8GB
having more ram than you need doesn't make your fucking computer faster
Can you name a single reason to own a console that isn't exclusives?
>>334758646
I own both a ps4 and PC, and PC is infinitely better.
>>334756391
>This guy pretending shit like resolution and FPS matter in games.
Silly faggot. Performance is for shitlords and PCucks.
>>334756391
You should still get Monster Hunter. I just got it and despite the small screen the game looks great. I'd prefer it on my PSP obviously but they make decent use of both screens for once, as in the second screen isn't completely fucking useless for once.
>>334759735
Avoiding hackers.
>>334759735
Does Sony still have a monopoly on Blu-Ray? Literally the only thing I can think of.
>>334759736
Nice opinion.
Not sure what it has to do with anything though.
>>334759217
I doubt it. The Japanese still play games on PC via Steam, so it can't be a legal reason, otherwise the entire platform would be banned. It only accounts for not even a single percentage of Japan's userbase, so drastic measures like these are hardly worth it.
>>334760298
I really don't understand what people's huge issue with hackers is.
You lose a game, whatever can you not handle losing to someone you know is retarded?
Can you not just accept it and move on?
