Heh, again i have to ask if English is your first language. So there's nothing to compare, but then use 'vs' ... which is (here's a hint) a COMPARISON.

NOBODY CARES that you have a killer rig. Except you.

you miss the entire point of why i even spoke to you......your ignorance.
Old style RPG, if you're into that nostalgia, you'll like it.

HAVE to buy a $3000 dollar PC to play it on though, need all that speed to display top down isometric view and text.

I showed you that you were wrong... you said some shit about you having a "HIGH END PC LAPTOP" as if that means something?

Dude, that was sarcasm.

It's a sequel to a fucking crowdfunded game, done in the style of old isometric RPG's from the 90's.

IT DOESN'T HAVE WEEPINGLY BEAUTIFUL FLUCKING GRAPHICS!!!

And no, me having a high end laptop doesn't mean shit. That's EXACTLY THE POINT.

Everybody can game with whatever they choose to game with. And nobody cares, except you.

Yeah, honestly play your games on whatever you want to play them on... I just was curious about this software title because it was coming out on console.

Yes, I play games on a console. I guess I prefer knowing that games I buy are going to work because they are made to work with this pre-determined machine configuration, instead of having to install new RAM, Sound or a New Graphics Card every 6-12 months or whatever...

And I'm an IT guy who can easily do that crap myself.... I just don't want to... :)

And sure, there's games that are designed to play on a PC. XCOM 2 wouldn't be as good on a console, because you'd never be able to easily access all the menus.

But two of the absolute best gaming experiences I've had in the last 5 years were both on a PS4, Witcher 3, and The Last of Us.

My kid still enjoys playing games now and then on a hand held Nintendo. Not my cup of tea, but what the fuck do I care if she wants to play those games?

I didn't want to spend extra money for another machine to play games when I had a PC that would do that and more..

But it's your money so..

In my experience, PCs go obsolete for gaming much quicker than consoles... Maybe that's changed?

I try to hold on to my PC's 3-4 years but it's not difficult to upgrade pieces. this time the graphic card burnt out and I was about to get a new one. I don't need to get the most expensive top of the line since the 2nd tier cards are still quite good. But then my loving wife just said "Why don't you just buy a new PC?"...

Done.. :)

I don't know about consoles.

Consoles run around $300 and seem to be stretched out to at least a 5 year cycle now.

Sure. Just another thing to clutter up my house! :)

The other issue for me was that a console seemed like more of an invitation for my daughter to just play games. At least with a PC you can do more than that..

Although I have nothing against computer games.. I'm probably the largest consumer in the house.

Completely False. No console is ever more powerful than the PC's that they made the games on.

looky this... so purty. and better right now than PS6 Pro will be.

No.
xbox one $400
Xbox one S $400
Xbox one X $500 = $1300 in 4.5-5 yrs.

Backward compatibility if Microsoft says so. No upgrading. No repairing & Disposable. Basically you have a shitty PC and Microsoft decides what youre allowed to do with it AT ALL TIMES.

Never said, "More Powerful". My point is they design the games to function with the hardware, so you never have to worry about whether you have enough graphics capability or processing power or memory to run a game. Someone else already worked all that out so it will run with the specs you have, not vise versa...

What fucking morons do you know who go out and buy all three iterations of the Xbox One?

And not sure where you shop, but I can grab an Xbox One or a PS4 for $299...

And again Microsoft, or whomever, is not going to make a game that requires me to upgrade the hardware... Game companies wouldn't make a lot of money if they did that now, would they?

Difference between you and I is that I really don't give a fuck what you play your games on... I have a PS4 and when I want a game I just have to look for a game that has "PS4" on it and voila!!! I don't have to check to see if my computer has enough video memory or what have you and get a new card to install in order to play it. Someone else already did that for me.... Fuckin' magic, dude!

Eh, they usually make the PC version with a bit more oooomph to it... Honestly the console market likely gives them the resources to continue.
