etc, ect. Just because WB took the cheapest route doesn’t mean almost all games aren’t better on PC and I doubt it’s because there is a need to “optimize to all rigs” like the video says.
And PC must be making decent money if even SquareJapan, Capcom, Konami and NamcoBandai started releasing games for it despite the “rampant piracy”.

Do search how many of these got Gotys and GDC awards.

That leaves Batman, TWD, Mordor, DragonAge, Dishonored, Skyrim, FO3 etc in last and current gen Gotys,as third party games available on all.

Quality , Goty, the only metric that is important. You can take high graphics settings , a notch above console that comes with an expense and lack of Goty quality and bad ports like MKX, Batman, late releases with pleasure, all yours.

I dont recall PC only Goty, remind me in last eight years.


Funny thing is in desperation forgiving the Gotys you mention F1, ESO,Dragonball etc seriously? Wink

And most of the sites played and reviewed 93 metacritic , Witcher3 on PS4, dude 93 DIDNT COME FROM high rigs, its extraneous.


Shut my mouth, but reality will push sites to make vids and publishers to relegate PC to lower priority.

Oh wow that’s really sad. He was such a nice person especially for someone in his position. RIP Satoru Iwata.

PC is the home of indie games. There are so many great indie games that are only on the PC, and the rest of the indie games either come first on the PC(The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Banner Saga) or debut at the same time on PC and consoles. The Blackwell series, The Cat Lady, Resonance, Gemini Rue, Pillars of Eternity, Dreamfall Chapters, Book of Unwritten Tales 2, Hearthstone, Star Craft 2 etc… If you don’t care about all these games and only want to play AAA games, then that’s fine, but you can not discount the platform with the biggest library of games ever.

Although I wasn’t a fan of the direction Nintendo were heading, he always seemed like a nice man who would hear anyone out.

RIP Iwata

If there is a silver lining to today’s horrible news, it would be that at least Mr. Iwata did not fade into obscurity - a rare feat for the business end of the game industry. He can be appropriately mourned and celebrated by countless fans for being the polite, forward thinking innovator that he was. R.I.P.

Tablet iOS best platform confirmed then.
You missed when i used the word quality not quantity.
Also Dreamfall to Ethancarter had problems running smoothly, even on high rigs.
Both will come to PS4, EGTRapture and Journey will not.
I am not discounting, publishers are.
The reason for bringing up the gamespot video , is to show i am not alone.
And the points she raised, including research paper of Piracy, speak for itself, and not too dissimilar from what i posted a while ago.

Its not too bad to accept the reality, like i do when it comes to shitty Sony servers and PSN speeds.  Wink

Tablets/mob gaming is…a joke to be honest and it definitely suffers from quantity over quality. As for technical issues, it’s rare a big game doesn’t have them nowadays. I am interested in what brought you to this site though if you don’t like PC gaming. It’s slim pickings for adventure games if you don’t bother with PCs.

I would say though, it does seem as though PCs are getting more attention then before from the console market. Games that aren’t usually released for PCs too are turning up.

The quality of a lot of indie games (like Wadget Eye games) on the PC is way higher than iOS games. If you are not into smaller games, that’s your thing but you can’t discount their high quality.

I tried both The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Dreamfall Chapters and they ran like a dream on my PC, which is a high end rig that is 2 years old, so I don’t know where you are getting your facts. If you are a console owner, you had to wait a while for them. Same with Super Meat Boy and Dust for example, that skipped a whole generation on the Playstation console. Since you are talking about a PS4, try to play Cuphead on it when it comes out, or Quantum Break.

Everyone is Going to the Rapture is coming to PS4 sure, but then Dear Esther, the Chinese Room’s first game didn’t.

Speaking of bard ports, do you remember how the PS3 used to get shafted with shoddy third party ports? Bayonetta? http://www.vg247.com/2012/09/25/bayonettas-ps3-port-was-our-biggest-failure-says-platinums-inaba/

Orange box on the PS3? http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=638580

or how about DMC, which is traditionally a console game? http://n4g.com/user/blogpost/genozstriker/520539

I bought Nintendo , paid 300$ for few games i wanted to play.
Is it the best system or platform , ofcourse not.
Worth more than PS4, not remotely.
Got the point?

I play on all, but i have to call out the issues , and where the platform stands.
PC sales are lowest on W3, and PC is lowest priority for me along with Wiiu, but still a valid platform.

And, Muse, D4, DanganRonpa, VLR, 1979 etc are not on PC or just on PC.
KQ, TTG, Witness, Soma etc are for all.
Journey is highest rated game here, not on PC.

If you analyze AG state above, you would question why i should not post here.


If you think Activision would have remade Sierra and KQ just for PC userbase, then you
are amazing.

Edit:

@SOCCERDUDE
Man, please check the Dreamfall, thread here on AG and Redthread games forums.
Exception is not the rule. It took a while to fix Dreamfall slow FPS even on high rigs.
Even wilco had them iirc.

Ah fair enough. There’s no real issue then it’s just not your personal preference. It hasn’t been for me in the past, but this gen it seems to have about 90% of the games I’m interested in, so obviously, for me, it’s the one to have.

Ethan Carter runs perfectly smooth on even low to mid end rigs, I get 40-60 fps on an 8 year old PC.

As for Dreamfall Chapters then it is true there are some performance problems right now, at least on low to mid end rigs. But if you look at the cause of those, then I would expect it to run even worse on a PS4 right now. We will however never know for certain, as they are planning on upgrading to Unity 5 before they make the PS4 port, and that should also fix the performance problems on PC’s.

Sorry did not know about it (as I have been avoiding the Dreamfall thread for spoilers). I have an nVidia Titan from 2 years back, and it runs Dreamfall like a dream, so I did not know about the performance problems on lower end PC’s.

Journey is coming out on PS4 July 21st.

     

An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.
