technology The Glorious PC master race thread

And.....GTAV for PC's been delayed AGAIN!

Either they really want to make this the best port possible or they're just spending the development money on office parties and booze.

Or Microsoft is paying them off to delay the PC version so more people will buy the Xbox version.

That's some a-grade paranoia right there, buddy.

Phanteks support is officially awesome. My case's side panel window is now scratch-free.

[VulpineTaco 525]

It's also an a-grade joke, buddy.

It would be if it was true!

Hey guys, I was just curious about something. It's indisputable that consoles are inferior to PC's, but do you look down on consoles at all? Ditto for people who game on them.

Outside of joking now and then, not at all. Some people prefer the simplicity of consoles, and I respect that. I'm not afraid, however, to describe to a prospective console buyer what PC gaming has to offer so they can make an informed decision on what would be truly right for them: console or PC.

The 8th gen consoles, I do look down on them. Either a lack of games that interest me (Wii U) or me disagreeing with the business model (PS4, Xbone). As for the people who play them, no, not really. Only a few hardcore fanboys, yeah, I have problems with those guys (pretty sure everyone does) but for the most part, I'm cool with people who play on them.

No, unless you spew out bullshit like "30 fps is cinematic!" Or "the human eye can't see past more than 30 frames" Then you've lost all credibility.

Nope. I own and have owned plenty of consoles as I enjoy playing the games on them. If I didn't, I wouldnt've bought them.

There are a bunch of Wii U games comin' out this year! Can't wait for them, sadly, I do not have one yet, but I would like to get one soon. For me, the games that are on there interest me. (Smash, Wind Waker HD, Mario Kart 8.)

To be honest, this thread as a whole doesn't really say "PC Master Race" to me. I don't mean that as a bad thing; I'd much rather be actually discussing computers instead of just making fun of consoles all day and constantly toting how much "better" PC is. We have the subreddit for that.

I suppose part of the reason is that there's so much to discuss about the PC beyond petty things like that.

Yeah, pretty much this. You could say the title is just more for shits and giggles, I guess.

The Wii U has literally nothing that interests me that I can't get on another platform. Pretty much all I play at the moment are racing games [not kart racers racing game with actual cars] and FPS's, which are arguably the Wii U's weak spot. The other platforms on the other hand have exclusives for both.

Don't care for Ninty exclusives?

I've never really gotten into platformers, it could be that I didn't grow up with them or something idk but yeah mostly that, and after all, that's like, the only reason I would buy a pared back PC, right?

That's always what I assumed what it was xD

If you go back really far in the threads history some guy posted something along the lines of "pc master race vs petty console peasants" with a pc master race jpeg but besides that it's been pretty free from fanboying, save anything VulpineTaco posts.

I believe that the biggest advantage PC has over consoles is that it's an open platform. The rise of Linux gaming only furthers this advantage. Linux is a much more open platform than Windows is.

I don't care for Mario, except maybe Mario Kart, and Smash, but I am looking forward to the new Zelda, and I want to see a new Metroid. Though after the flop that was Other M, it might be awhile before we see a new one.

Is Zelda more of a WRPG or a JRPG? I enjoyed Skyrim, so there's that.

It's more of a WRPG, having open-world gameplay rather than turn based random encounters.

Ah, alright. Might be something I'll look into then.

Yeah, if you like Skyrim, you might like Zelda. Have you never played a game in the series before?

[long gone 8,929]

It's not really that much of an RPG imo. Yeah, it has some minor RPG elements in it, but really, it's more action-adventure.

No, sadly.

Good point. You don't level up by killing monsters. Though personally, I would love a Zelda game that was a full on WRPG.

 I guess I should have said that. It's like skyrim w/o experience, and like, half the content.
