poor console gamers. They don't have a choice

NecotheSergal3315d ago (Edited 3315d ago )

Console gamers don't seem to be as whiny and self-entitled as the PC Elitist crowd, I'm quite sure they'll be able to handle one visual feature not having a toggle on the console variant. All console games have basically not had visual tweaks and toggles since the very beginning, (Except Brightness toggle, aw ye! lmao) this isn't new news here or uncommon.

You're just rubbing it in to their faces to stroke some petty ego of yours. Gotta say, that's pretty sad if that's the one way you get off and feel better about yourself. Lol

"Console gamers don't seem to be as whiny and self-entitled as the PC Elitist crowd"

All fanboys can quite whiny, the difference is the stuff they brag/complain about. Many of the top stories on this site have been PS4 vs Xone graphics comparisons full of bickering, just depends on where you go lol.

MicDude3315d ago

Wouldn't you rather have the choice than not?

NecotheSergal3315d ago (Edited 3315d ago )

@Vega - Yup, all fanboys can be whiny course. Well, the 'comparisons' especially are harmfully fuelled by social media and 'journalists' on sites that use those comparison articles to instigate those petty fights. It's like what happened with Gametrailers, they had Videos they made themselves that were hilarious, they compared the visuals and pros/cons of Resistance vs Gears of War. They basically promoted Versus/comparisons and all that but then they got tired of it and would ban people who'd make Comparison threads on the forum, at the same time they stopped making bad versus videos.

Then they continued years down the road and this is what happened:

Every 'journalist' are the same. This image paints the picture that they don't care, they didn't break their ruling of preventing chaos in the forum - but are fine with creating chaos within the communities if it means they get traffic or whatnot. Lol - but yeah, this has gone way off topic and into a rant now. The point was me just saying, it's not always 'fanboys fault' for comparisons, when gaming journalists and website provoke and shove it in everyones faces to try to keep it relative as a source of flamebaiting the communities to fight with eachother so they can observe it, and exploit their passions against them - basically.

@MicDude - I don't expect a choice really, because I've come to expect that's what comes with consoles. Which is why it's better to own majority platforms for the benefits they all give, PC for modification capabilities and consoles for their exclusives. Software pushes hardware. Always.

JsonHenry3315d ago

You sound pretty defensive. And I DO feel sorry for console gamers. There is NO REASON they can't add the option to toggle that on or off on the consoles. Especially since so many people hate the way chromatic aberration looks.

NuggetsOfGod3315d ago (Edited 3315d ago )

Stop ur slavery justification.

U pay MS/Sony to let u play on activision/EA servers.

Pc gaming means fight for your rights.
Pc gaming is very constitutional.
What's good for pc is good for America.

Consoles = china in a box.

Yeah u keep on not whining and i'll have xbl for free lol

Let ps4 get a 720p 60fps toggle for every game and you will see 1000 degree articles.

How can u hate choice?

NecotheSergal3315d ago

@Nuggets - People take you seriously?

WiiU owners don't have a choice either lol

Meltic3315d ago (Edited 3315d ago )

Why ? First of all the consoles is normally optimized good and PC not. Just look at dying light. Even the best PC couldnt reach 60 fps. Im not saying that CD PROJEKT RED will do the same thing but consoles is normally optimized better than PC. I love my high end PC but sometimes i prefer to buy a console game for stable fps and beacuse my kid loves the ps4.

blackmagic3315d ago (Edited 3315d ago )

Weird, because both techspot and gamespot benchmark the radeon 7850 at 34 and 37fps at max settings while ps4 only manages 30fps on high settings. The 7850 is two years older (obsolete now) and is less powerful than the ps4.

The fact that high end rigs aren't getting higher fps when such a slow gpu musters so much clearly shows that they are cpu bound, something dx12 will soon address but I have to ask, what excuse does the ps4 have if it is supposed to be so well "optomized" compared to pc but is outdone by a 7850?

Articuno763315d ago

Why the toggle? Is it particularly demanding to eliminate it? I can't see anyone opting to play with chromatic abberration after all. Who does that?

dcj05243315d ago

What's the purpose of that annoying ass effect anyway. It's mildly annoying in bloodbourne

Mega243315d ago

It's an option though, since when are options bad for everyone? better to have an option then to have non.

snoopgg3315d ago

If its an option that most people find annoying or don't care about then who will miss this option. It don't matter then does it. Who needs a useless option?

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave19d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan19d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name43d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno43d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno42d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure42d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
