Claudia writes "“Why not switch to PC?” is a phrase I found myself hearing quite often when I was discussing next-gen console purchases with people I know. In reality, I recognized the possibility of simply building a PC as opposed to buying a next-gen console. It would likely take longer to save up for, but when I looked at the benefits on paper, it seemed to be the better choice. Or was it?"
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "Ultimately, Buckshot Roulette is a fun little distraction that the former stats teacher in me wishes had been fleshed out just a touch more. There’s enough content here to entertain for an hour or so, and while it won’t be the best hour of gameplay you experience this year, it’ll probably be one of the more memorable. Give it a try, and support the developer (Mike Klubnika), so that he can make a sequel where you play Poker against a horrifically toothy version of Clifford the Big Red Dog."
CG writes: We put Solei’s action game into VR using Praydog’s UEVR mod for a really neat third-person Wanted: Dead VR game. What’s great is that it just works with no tweaking required, other than perhaps renaming the OpenVR folder if it fails to inject. The experience is great as a gamepad, third-person action game. Due to the nature of the gameplay, you need to be able to see enemies who sneak up behind you, so the third-person view is perfect for this.
The Outerhaven writes: According to Moon Studios, no rest for the wicked early acess PC release will clock in around 15 to 25 hours of gameplay.
Number 1 for me?
Ease of use!
Whether we're talking about playing with a comfy controller from the couch, or the lack of upgrading every year, to the sloppy installs and fractured format for the PC, there are lots of convenience based reasons to play on console... I don't think its possible to comfortably play with k+m! just like typing on this damn touchscreen will never be as comfy as a real keyboard...
I'm primarily a console gamer myself, but I feel everything listed is applicable to the PC.
I'm nostalgic for Blade Runner, Age of Empires, and Myst.
I have a Fred Flintstones PC and I can still meet the basic requirements for a a lot of titles.
Multiplayer is free on the PC so there's that.
Exclusives and arguably the couch thing are the only standouts. The author should have led with DRM imho.
1. PC gaming is also nostalgic. But you can't play those old games on new hardware that comes out(referring to consoles.)
2. Console gaming does win in ease of use but that seems to be changing. Consoles have installs and patches as well now with complications. Wondering if Steam Box will change that for people.
3.PC has exclusives as well, strange argument.
4. PC gaming can be done on couch.
5. Multiplayer potential?...
I think if you can afford it people should have a PC, Wii U, and either a Sony and MS console; or both which is even better. Why is there a divide? Gaming is gaming.
Funny how the new consoles are more like PCs than ever these days.
By the way, EVERY ONE OF THESE POINTS APPLIES TO PC AS WELL.
We have nostalgia. C&C. Lion King on floppy disc. Deus Ex.
PC gaming is super easy these days too to anyone with a brain cell. Not much goes "wrong" anymore.
PC has a massive exclusive alone in the RTS genre. RTS games in consoles dont work, as sales prove. And we have the greatest thing consoles will never had; mods. DayZ alone is proof that mods are incredible. Try playing a modded Skyrim and then play it on consoles. You'll turn it off in seconds.
PC gaming can be done on a couch, and this is the dumbest console argument around. I dont want to play on a couch as I live with other people. I'd be hogging the main TV all day? That's annoying. And office chairs are perfectly comfortable.
MP potential? What a retarded argument.
Geez some random Guy online says why he love's console gaming so can someone please explain to me why the only thing in the comment section is nothing but PC gamers bringing up how PC gaming can do it to when it has nothing to do with PC gaming?
