Well, yeah. You can have the most super-buff PC, but no game really makes the most of it. What you get is console games with extra glitz. The 'PC-only' market is now relegated to World of Warcraft and things like that. Good games are ones that are ported up from console. That's just the way it is. You won't see a big jump in the quality of PC games until the next batch of consoles, and that's no coincidence. Even then, the days of PC games really pushing the upper-echelons of PC hardware are gone. What you get now is console games with better graphics, but still essentially the same games.
I do have the
most super-buff PC and I don't mind playing multiplatform games on it. I've seen shitloads of games on consoles that are supposed to work beautiful out of the box, yet they stutter like mad while also being locked at just 30 fps and all that running with graphics that can also be compared to the lowest settings of their pc counterparts.
The only games that actually look decent and play decent on consoles as far as I'm concerned are their first party games.
Back in ps1 and ps2 days, almost all of the games found on consoles, were console exclusives and they looked and played exceptionally well.
Also the idea of being limited only to a gamepad at all times when it comes to fps games or rts games and the idea of not even having a small chance or hope to see the games modded, is another thing that makes me reject consoles as being the proper tools to play games these days.
If I buy consoles, it's because I want to play console exclusive games, not because I see any benefit in them as playing all of my games with them.
I never did see a benefit in poping in a game disk and start playing.
I never did mind the time it takes for a game to install to the hdd so I can start playing it on demand, every time I click it's shortcut.
Gta5 will obviously get modded to hell and back on pc and missing out on all that fun is not something I intend to do.
