So sorry my "posting history" doesn't meet your approval.


I love that after 8 years of unmitigated PS3 and Wii bashing was taken completely in stride on this forum, a few people get super butt hurt over a couple months of absolutely fair criticism of Xbone.

Microsoft will do just fine, whether you cry for them or not pumpkin.

Anybody time that?

Don't need or want your apology. I do find it strange that you take repeated jabs at the Xbox thread and those planning a purchase, but you're so sensitive to anything related to you. Super butt hurt indeed.

3:02 - which is appalling...

You were waxing to some PS4 porn... I know it!

The "dish it out but can't take it" factor is very strong with this one.

Another informal PAX poll, this time with Max Scoville from Rev3.

The highlight: "Sega...ummm...game...system" getting more votes than WiiU.

I want Sega's new console. C'mon they can do it, these things are basically HTPCs. Make that shit BC and it will win.

Yeah. I wish Nintendo were making games on a Sega console instead of vice versa.

The box doesn't matter because its all about the games...

But you're gonna watch Netflix anyways...

This!

Neither, I just built a brand new gaming pc and most of the big games I want are coming to pc. Plus they will be cheaper on pc, console launches always come with a year or two price premium on the games.

$59 is pretty much the norm across the board for PC and Console, the only exception recently has been Rayman Legends which is $39 on PC, $59 on Console.

MSRP might be the same (although many come in at $50) but there's a lot more deals available. I know I got both Infinite and Tomb Raider in the $40 range from Green Man Gaming.

+1

Dreamcast RIP

Make it BC with what? The Saturn? The 32x? The Sega CD?

The Dreamcast was a great console that was ahead of its time, but as I just pointed out, Sega released a lot of shit in between the Genesis and that console.

I was more or less referencing multi-platform and "big" games. They do tend to go on sale faster than their Console counterparts, though it wasn't difficult to get Tomb Raider for $40 about a month after release.

It's getting more common and I do hope that changes, $59 for PC games is a load of rubbish since the process is far less extensive than it is for Consoles. Battlefield 4 is listed as $59 but the Premium version is $49 for some reason. Call of Duty Ghosts, Titanfall, Dark Souls II, The Sims 4, etc; are $59, Sports Titles have never been very popular on PC so thankfully those are very cheap (NBA 2k14 is $30, Fifa 14 is $40).

So was I, as I was able to get those prices on release. I just double checked, and Tomb Raider cost me $36 as a pre-order. Infinite came with credit so I was wrong there, but also came with 3 other games at the time.

Saturn and Sega CD would be nice. The whole post was a joke, but eh.

I'm familiar with the deals, I was going off MSRP I suppose. No matter, $59 MSRP for PC Games is still BS.

Battlefield 4 Premium isn't a deluxe version of the game, it's like CoD Elite -- add-on content with a Season Pass and other benefits.

Gotcha, they didn't label it that way on Amazon so I was a little confused. Insane that they can sell people on basically a full priced expansion pack.

Sure, but MSRP doesn't really refute the "PC games are cheaper" comment. That said, I don't think the pricing is necessarily BS since there's less insistence that the price is because any sort of packaging or licensing costs these days, but straight up the cost to make games these days. Of course i'm a little biased coming from a PC game developer

Was more of a reference to the fact they have to pay out to Sony / Microsoft to get their game on the console, not so on the PC.

The only "shit" would be the 32X.

The Saturn was just like the PS3 - harder to program for.

Sega CD was ahead of it's time and was not properly used... stupid FMV.

PC games are cheaper. Period. There are exceptions of course. Games like COD, it's easier to find a sale in a console.

But in general, if you can wait, you should be able to pay between $30 and $40 for a console game. And under $20 for a PC game.
