So... This... is the power of pc gaming...

For my money Undertales a pretty good game, Pillars of Eternity is likely a good game but it's from a genre that doesn't appeal much to me, it's also 45$ instead of 10$ which means more people are able to buy Undertale in the first place.

This pretty much.

If there was something not strictly worse than PC gaming, we'd switch to it. But there is only PC gaming, console gaming and mobile gaming, so the answer is clear and unambiguous.

Top down action RPG's are fucking awful so it's no surprise that undertale has sold better and is also better rated.

No thank you. I'm not sitting through hours of shitty unfulfilling and half baked gameplay just so I can experience a story which is inferior to even the most stock standard fantasy novel.

>PS4 whatever race

Fanbases for consoles are not built on the basis of trying to be superior to others through hardware. Theres a a huge difference between xbox, ps4 and Nintendo fans and PC Masterrace and it is because of this single fact.

On PCMR you will have daily discussion about how consoles are holding back the gaming industry or twitter screenshots of a teenage console fan saying dumb shit and you will get 700+ rely circle jerks. It's disgusting.

go to /r/ps4 and you will see people talking about games, not just PS4 games but all games. There might be some ps4 enthusiasts in the comments saying something mild but console wars end at that where as console wars is a core identity of PCMR.

Not all PCMR subscribe to the PCMR ideology but there is no denying that it is one of the lowest medium of communication humanity has ever seen.
>>
>>339037591
I've always stated that PCMR bullshit was just kids buying prebuilts so they could claim to be better. I build my own PC's and update them and while I think PC gaming has superior potential in terms of gameplay, graphics and genres, I couldn't care less if people want to play consoles. I do care when people go "Consoles are good for consumers because of exclusives".
>>
>>339037591
Stop calling yourself PCMR, it's fucking cringeworthy

PoE was bizarrely enough the most disappointing game Obsidian has ever made, and they made it with a "dream RPG" kickstarter. Probably due in no small part to Sawyer leaving 75% of Avellone's writing on the cutting room floor. Now, I appreciate that slick little bestiary and shit that Sawyer contributed, but the problem was his background shit was more interesting than the actual game plot where you're stopping Evil Beard Man because you must; you're character will ostensibly "go insane" if you don't deal with Thaos although no in-game mechanics reflect that, like the Slayer Form in BG2 showed: "oh shit I better get my FUCKING SOUL BACK or i'll transform into a MINDLESS DEMON!

Maybe the implication is you'll only be able to interface with the world by reading Gold-plated backer content and that would be a pretty terrible fate.

anyway the whole gist of Undertale was some SJW numale shit where the moral of the undertale is that you can't kill the Monsters--no matter how heinous they are--because if you do THEN THE MONSTERS WIN? Yeah, enjoy being KILLED BY SAVAGE MONSTERS then, you stupid underfaggot, I'll be chilling with Geralt of Rivia over there who kills dangerous monsters and leaves harmless ones alone like a sensible human bean.

I agree with most of what you said as well as exclusives not being inherently good for the consumer as a whole, however there is also nothing inherently wrong with the practice itself. What's anti-consumer is artificial exclusivity and when manufactures buy timed rights for certain games.

When manufactures develop, fund and publish software from the ground up through a joint venture between a third party developer, this is not anti-consumer in the slightest. If manufactures then choose to keep said software exclusive to their hardware they have every right to do so, it is not anti-consumer in the slightest. In fact it would be counter productive and ultimately a stupid business decision to release the game on their competitors platforms given that the very profits they make through their hardware sales is what allows them the net of funds to invest and contract said software in the very first place.

FFX was when final fantasy truly went to shit. I'd be tempted simply for Lulu's HD titties, but the PC version is based on some shitty hackjob chinese port for some shitty failed console or handheld or whatever the fuck it was on, which messed up Lighting and made several of the already doofus-looking faggots in the cast look even more goofy. And don't forget how terrible that FULL VOICE ACTING was, but on PC at least you could probably just do a quick mod to put it in original JPN + subtitles at least.

The current state of PC gaming is just bad in general. In theory it should be the "master race", in other words the optimal platform to play video games on. In practise, all they get are garbage ports, that were optimized for consoles, because there is much more money in the console market.

Just because we have the ability to browse the internet and do more on our machines that also run games doesn't mean we don't play games more. As a matter of fact, I'd say PC users have more hours in games compared to console users The average time played in LoL is 1000 hours. The average. The average for CSGO is around 500. These are two of I'd say roughly 10 incredibly popular PC games.
