This type of post is so ridiculous. Most PC gamers are console gamers too. Everything doesn't need to be an "us vs them" platform war.

Sony's PS4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC this year, sources tell Kotaku.
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
Are there not constant DF threads about the performance differences between MS base and X and Sony base and Pro consoles? No doubt PC gamers talk tech a lot, but this is pot calling the kettle black - every market should talk more about writing and performance rather than res and fps.
At the risk of backseat modding, please stop your platform warring.
Even though I only game on PC currently I am still astounded at some of the counter-arguments coming from both sides. One side will say without exclusives what's the point of consoles while the other side will say i like console gaming because I can sit on my couch with a controller (you can do that on the PC as well) or the PC has no games like Horizon, that's why they are begging for it.
I was hoping in 2020 we could all just enjoy what we enjoy without the ignorance towards preference.
Sega also made games like Seaman and Shenmue.
You do realize you are on a board aimed at the hardcore, right? Of course the small segment of PC gamers that have expensive rigs are more likely to be on here, same with console gamers who don't really enjoy multiplayer games or talk about Call of Duty of FIFA too much.
You know the next-gen speculation thread, which is exclusively composed by console fans and is only about specs, it's on the tenth OT, right?
i don't think so. 1080p maybe. but one thing i wiould not do looking for next gen is to buy a 6 core CPU. This doesn't make sense at all.
True. I mean, Sony ported Twisted Metal 2 to PC back in the PS1 days, which no one seemingly remembers.
It's like how Ori is viewed mostly as an Xbox game, despite being on PC/Switch (at least from what I gather in my circle of friends).

It is not a "warring", though probably some would like to make that impression if they can´t talk about it.
There is a conversation from previous pages about consoles companies caring more for a genre and, regardless of some saying that can´t be true, no one proved otherwise (and I play on PC as well, but facts are facts).
But thanks anyway, it seems people here tend to cry to modding when they can´t argue a valid point.
Let´s be robots then.
AAA gaming companies in general care a whole lot for that broad, vague 'third person' genre. And guess what the majority of them release these games for PC in addition to consoles. And in the future Sony will as well. They're PC games as much as they are console games.
Tbh, that's not really something that happens anymore. New consoles releasing is really the only time there's a significant bump in spec requirements. If you are fine with playing on high or medium sometimes you don't really need to upgrade your PC before the next gen refreshes. And even then.. for PS4 and xbox one a GPU was really all you needed to upgrade to keep up.
If fans reacted like that in hzd, they'll throw a fit in this case
How many more people have LoL, WoW, Fortnite, Minecraft or other games that are predominantly PC helped bring into the gaming industry? TLOU is a tiny blip compared to those juggernauts. That's also likely why Sony is exploring PC, consoles are predominantly focused on western countries and Japan, PC (and mobile) are global platforms.
At 1440p don't know what to say but at 1080p sure. For example I'm not too worried about my laptop's RTX 2070 getting obsolete because my laptop's screen is 1080p anyway.
Sony decision with exclusives will define my strategy. If PS5 maintain exclusive games I will get one and a RTX 3080 2nd semester.
If everything will be available on PC I will get a 3080 ti.
Thankfully the world is not just America ;)
At the other half of the world, console is niche and PC (and mobile) is the absolute majority ;)
Thing I like is better and that's a fact. I have no issue with people having personal opinions, as long as they understand things I like more are objectively better. Disagreeing with this hurts the medium.
This is literally what you wrote in this and previous post.

Oh man, would be cool if all the Sony first party games launch on PC as well (even if it is months later).
It's always been true via attach rates and total sales that the vast majority of gamers play a few games a generation, and those games are statistically mostly third party games (IE not exclusive). Most gamers are CoD, FIFA, Madden, GTA, Minecraft players. The PC has never killed consoles before in this environment. Thus, it stands to reason that they're not overlapping markets, certainly not to any worrying degree for a console maker. There is a large contingent of consumers who want to play games and, for various reasons, will never do so on a PC.
As bothersome as it is to read some staunch fans irrational tirades. People antagonizing are just as bad. Calling Sony fans or this fan base will be upset and it just stirs the pot.
If this thread were an RPG, then it just maxed out it's "grasping for straws" ability.
I would love to see all of Playstation's games come to PC, but this is a good start. I think the future of gaming is platform-agnostic.
Honestly, I don't believe we will see Sony's "tentpole" AAA 1st party titles coming to PC day and date any time soon the way Microsoft is doing.
I'd love to be wrong, but I I don't see them making such drastic changes.
I just want know if they will talk about what their strategy for PC is. If it is to wait 1 year for any game I will do that easily.
I hope they just don't shadow drop Horizon with no communication of their plans.
Yeah I think we will likely see legacy titles rather than up to generation games
I would love to get a hold of ps1, ps2, and ps3 titles on PC.
it's a good step in deescalating console wars. It may not appear that way due to the size of this thread. But once the people mad at this see it become the norm, those bad feelings will ever go away. We just need time for it all to play out.
Yeah, all I played until mid 2000s were RTS games (thanks, Blizzard for my first gaming addiction) ; and then I was in Uni for the next like 9 years (2 degrees) and confined to gaming on crappy laptops. I'd love to catch up on some "classics" that I missed out on.
I realise you're rightfully banned but I hope you know that no one normal says shit like PC Master Race sincerely, and that "superior ports" on PC are unarguably objective because the modularity of PCs means that machines much more powerful than consoles can run the games at frame rates, graphical settings and/or resolutions that are better than what's on console.
I love Bloodborne to death but it would be better running at 4k 60fps on PC.
fixed.
An also easy way to avoid reading the elitist posts in forums. This way we will not have any.
User banned (1 week): platform warring, trolling and inflammatory comparisons over multiple posts. Multiple previous bans for similar behaviour.
This reminds me neo-nazi's saying that people are racist because they don't accept them. With a lot of exaggeration of course in my example.
I don't see any elitism in my post. It's just annoying to even can't read 9gag because of those elitists posts. I am an elitist for this?
What the fuck is this post?
This situation sorta reminds me of the original xbox one pitch where MS was very forward thinking with their plans for the console, but to some people it felt so different that they could never see a console that's always connected and doing a lot more than just playing games as the norm. Compared to today where the majority of consoles are always connected to the internet and used to watch movies on netflix and such.
Well come on now, how many years later is this? Plus the type of game Disco Elysium is story is a huge focus and has more time to breathe.
I new it...:/
Whataboutism.gif.
A post.
Holy shit how does this thread keep delivering after 93 pages
Holy shiiiit and this is just because a game isn't exclusive anymore.
Well done, you creates one of the absolute worst posts I've ever read on gaming side.
Tag worthy.
An awful post that competes with the one above.
It's very easy to downplay your posts without saying anything.
What???
Whats wrong with you people? did you even read what I wrote?
Yes Bloodborne running at 4k 60fps on PS5 would also make it a superior port, making that banned dude's point even more stupid.
As for the rest of your post, I have no fucking idea what you're on about.
You absolutely cannot be confused here... you have to be trolling.
What???Holy shiiiit and this is just because a game isn't exclusive anymore.
Whats wrong with you people? did you even read
my point was this:
