Hi newfriend.
>>
>>337323376
There's not much of a market for high graphic games on PC because a) most PC players, despite what /v/ would have you believe, always have PC's less powerful than the current gen consoles. And b) PC players pirate, meaning less sales so games have to be cheaper or not made at all. Just look at the most popular PC games, CSGO, DOTA, and LoL. All have low end graphics. A game like uncharted, released on PC, would be unable to run on most PC's, and pirated on half of those who could run it.

Piracy on PC is not nearly as prevalent as everyone wants to pretend it is. PC games sell for so cheap that the majority would rather just buy a game they like than to deal with possible bugs from a shoddy version.

Everyone likes to foam at the mouth about how consoles make so many more sales, but despite a console game selling for $60+, the publisher doesn't get as much cash per sale as they would releasing it on PC.

On top of that, pirated games aren't "losing" sales anyway, and most people pirate games because they don't feel the need to buy them in the first place.

This is not a reliable source, as it doesn't track entire downloads of an entire file. P2P downloads in general can't be reliably tracked.

All this says is that the files were accessed that many times. There's no way of knowing how many "illegal copies" actually got downloaded wholly. Also, most of those games are online multiplayer and are popular on top of that, and still sold in the millions and made huge profits, so your argument of how PC games are less profitable doesn't work here, even with all these barely useful information.

Yeah, no, nice try, but you failed to provide a strong basis for your point.

Especially since Blizzard, Activision, EA, and a ton of other developers make massive profits on PC gaming every year, and it continues to rise.

There's 0 indication of piracy affecting PC developers to such an extent that they can't release games on the platform. Even in the articles you linked, all of those companies still turned profits on those games, even the idiot Crysis 2 devs.

Articles talking about how a low-budget company needs as much money as possible, so they designed their latest game to bank on a wider audience. On top of that the Witcher 3 is almost a point against you, but we already established that you can't really read very well.

No mention of piracy in either of those. This doesn't include the fact that both Witcher 3 and GTV have bad system reqs, with GTV's being almost absurd due to lazy porting.

Long story short, you're actually falling for the game dev's "Piracy Boogieman" stories, because you're an idiot that wants to prove some point with no basis and doesn't even matter.

We already tried that with Nioh and normies were crying and calling for mommy instantly and every PC clown emerged out of the wood work to shit on the games frame rate and graphics. Remember?

Games have to be casual shit or hard shit that has been casualized enough for reddit babies to be good now. Dark souls 3 was the easiest souls game there was.

That being said you don't play uncharted for the fucking gameplay, its there, its basic and standard as fuck but different games offer different experiences, just like I don't play souls games for story and character developeent and huge action set pieces in tropical islands.

tbpfhwyf (to be perfectly fucking honest with you fampachi) barely being able to do 60FPS at fucking 720p is a joke. The PS4 is stronger than that, but it's literally, ACTUALLY okay when Japan does it. Nioh dips down to as low as 37 FPS, Star Fox Zero, also at 720p, dipped down to 44 FPS.

You're in the same boat as those retards that try to say movies are somehow losing money to bootleggers when we get record-breaking box-office numbers annually, and have been for nearly a decade.

His babbling is logic against speculation, that's why he's using those arguments. He is stating facts that all those companies who are crying about piracy are turning bad ass profits, the fact that all those companies were built on PC where piracy always existed, they made profits then, they are making them now.

There are no sources cited in those articles, not one argument has some sort of reliable statistics or any serious research to back it up.
So the only FACT that remains here is, those companies you cited are rich as fuck and turning profit after profit and they were all built on PC where piracy was always present.

Only reason GTA5 took 2 years to come to PC was so that they could sell two console batches. Otherwise, it would've come to PC a few months time. You are delusional if you don't think the platform holders have special deals with the big publishers.

>>337327710
>Nioh needs some serious optimization and SEJ need to step in and do it

There's a reason why the game is called Nioh, and why the new PS4 is called the Neo. This is going to be the first of many "either compromise or spend extra for the best version" games to come. If anything, SCEJ is going to find a way to make it run worse, the PS4 has some potential to run it at 1080 60 if they tried hard enough. But the Japanese are even bigger Jews than the Jews are.

Crysis got passed a long time ago it was on legendary in 07 for being badly optimized, but pretty. Shit Witcher games are old now and plenty of others. Modded up Stalker has been there for years too.

PS4 is a toned down 7850. It does well, but its by no means some new standard. Impressive for the console's price. But consoles have never been bought for their power (well maybe NES until PC took a leap soon after).

And somehow in the middle of this, PC as a gaming platform became a joke after 2009 because nobody wanted to development anything for it anymore beside indie and moba trash. Seriously where's PC's flagship AAA title? Is it still stuck in kickstarter or did it bomb like every other one that's tried to fill the void of a lack of proper developer support?

PC is a platform for console ports, its was finished years ago.

Meanwhile consoles continuously get better games and better AAA's and is still the focal point of the industry. PC will always be secondary citizens to developers and in the industry at whole. PC really has little to no fucking games justifying it these days and the more games console yet, the more pronounced this fact is.

Well yeah, obviously. People also forget the fact that the game wouldn't exist without Sony anyway. Who do you think is funding and marketing this work?

Nobody is stopping somebody from making a game like Uncharted for the PC yet nobody has yet. Tomb Raider is the closest thing but look what happened to that, it was dead on arrival because it was a timed exclusive to a platform that only Americans are dumb enough to own.

They aren't jew in the slightest, what's jew are companies like fucking EA and Ubisoft. What's fucking jew about giving people an 8 hour demo? I don't get it it. When Sony publishes a game, it isn't going to be somehow held back by the hardware, that's counter productive to the very intention of fucking doing it. Rubbish conspiracy theories.

I mentioned the NES. Its PPU was a huge advantage that was only roughly copied in CPU with games like Keen. But by the point of SNES it was partly made of old Apple parts and late stage DOS games were getting superior on technicals and Windows was taking launch as well, largely thanks to Doom. And by the gen after VGA cards were starting to dominate and by the time OpenGL and Quake that game was check and mate rarely to be even close again.

So no they weren't outside the one exception. Consoles sell on cheap and easy, a lesson they seem to be forgetting lately.

Yes the NES stacked up to PCs at the time with its ability to have a color palette not in cyan and magenta, have you seen PC Megaman or Commander Keen?

Smooth scrolling was a big deal in the day and that didn't come from the CPU, which at the time PCs were entirely CPU driven. Hell its part of why Keen got so popular for faking the effect. VGA cards took off after and created a big gap between consoles and PC. But ya Mario's quick action and smoothness was BFD at the time.
