And the PC gaming world breathes a collective sigh of relief.

MehmetAlperTR3197d ago

bluebenjamin3198d ago

Well what do ya know#PC Master Race!

bluebenjamin3198d ago

Lol at the haters that pay for online gaming

Dragonking0073198d ago

But you guys still gotta pay more to get barely on pair graphics of the current gen systems we pay mere 300-350 dollars you guys gotta pay 600-1000 dollars and you dont know if your graphics card is optimized or will support certain features, "but games are cheaper" theres sales everywhere now not just steam theres been sales every single week on psn and xbl and every month theres a flash sale which games get even higher discount then usual.

Bolts3198d ago

I will be more than happy to pay another $700 to make my PS4 play Bloodborne with better graphics and 60 FPS. It's totally worth it. If Sony allows me to upgrade my PS4 with an i7 and 980 GTX I would do it a heart beat.

On the PC Fallout 4 Ultra @ 60 FPS is available TODAY. I don't have to wait another 5-6 years for the PS5 for that.

"But you guys still gotta pay more to get barely on pair graphics of the current gen systems we pay mere 300-350 dollars you guys gotta pay 600-1000 dollars"

If you choose to spend that much you'll end up with a PC that not only gives better graphics but performance as well. You can take a $130-$150 GTX 750 TI and put it into nearly any home PC and you'll have performance similar to a console.

"and you dont know if your graphics card is optimized or will support certain features"

AMD = TressFX
Nvidia = Physx

Really unless it's a Batman scenario, you're not going to need to worry about it being "optimized"

"but games are cheaper" theres sales everywhere now not just steam theres been sales every single week on psn and xbl and every month theres a flash sale which games get even higher discount then usual."

There is sales every week on Steam & plenty of other digital distributor sites like CD Keys, G2A, Gamersgate, Greenmangaming, GoG, Origin & others. There is also backwards compatibility and running older $5 games like Skyrim, Dishonored, Dark Souls, Left 4 Dead, Portal ect on those "$600-$1000" PC's is a much better experience then on a 360/PS3.

Then on sites like CD Keys & G2A you can get new games/future releases for a fraction of the price, Dark Souls 3 & the Division are $47 CAN, Fallout 4 is $55 CAN instead of $80.

Maxor3197d ago

I also would be happy to pay another $500 to make Bloodborne run @ 60 FPS too. 60 FPS is what the game is meant to be experienced at.

Bansai3197d ago

As long as there's no cheaters, I'm happy to fork over the dough. Main reason I shied away from online gaming on my pc.

Grandma is playing the numbers

bluebenjamin3198d ago

@Dragoqueen no we don't have to pay 600$ to be on par with a toaster, 600$ PC still offers better performance than the weak ass Ps4.PS4 aND X1 are the reason I left console gaming.I refused to purchase a new gaming console that didn't provide a substantial leap..30fps wtf were they thinking what they assembled those pecies of crap.

twister753198d ago (Edited 3198d ago )

...xaxxaxaaxa...I don't think you had ever a PS4..you are so deplorable....go back to your grave and your loneliness...PC community is dying day by day....
OPEN YOUR EYES..year by year is going worst..

Maxor3197d ago

VG chartz. Top selling retail games. LMAO!!!

bluebenjamin3197d ago

Is that the best you can do, because the best your ps4 can do is 30fps so I understand.

killer_goat3198d ago

Damage is done. Steam has weak security. It's an embarrassment.

inf3cted13197d ago

Its not that bad. At least it isnt full credit card numbers in plain text

killer_goat3197d ago

It's terrible security. No proper systems in place. No company has ever leaked full card numbers.

Gatsu3197d ago

Better security than on consoles.

Activemessiah3197d ago

Hopefully people will learn to use gift vouchers instead of attaching the paypal or credit cards... I thought everyone stopped doing this.

Their last game was Anthem, of course people are waiting for reviews

TricksterArrow9d ago

Yep. BioWare has been pumping bad games after bad games. Anthem, Andromeda... Also, the first trailer for Veilguard was abysmal, not only that plus the development cycle was very well known to be extremely troublesome. While the gameplay videos look nice, I think it's fair to say that people are on a "wait and see" approach.

Gamings-Last-Legend9d ago

Facts. The art style and companions look AWFUL. I can't believe how terrible the game looks when dragon age 3 was so incredible.

Dragon Age: MoDeRn AuDiEnCeS

Hotpot9d ago

Almost all the original talents who made early Mass Effect and Dragon Age series has left. It’s all just subpar replacements handling IPs they don’t deserve.

Redgrave8d ago

You know, you have to wonder if they never shuttered Anthem 2.0.... if they would have been able to have a redemption and not have this cloud of uncertainty looming over them. Not that they've really done anything to warrant anything besides uncertainty and expected disappointment

IAMRealHooman9d ago

we've been burned by the industry too many times its a wait and see now

Miacosa9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Make sense something seems off about this title can't point to what however but I hope it works for people that have been hyped for it. At the same time, I can't help but think it's going be a pseudo letdown.

Armaggedon9d ago

Bioware hasn’t quite been themselves in the past few years. Even if the game is really good, Bioware must earn back the trust they had.

Lionsguard9d ago

Bioware we once knew and loved is long dead along with many others. They're just here in name now taken over by talentless morons who have no business making games. Don't buy it, let them tank just like Concord. Consumers have shown that we have power.

Dubbed the "Wukong Effect," English has been dethroned as the most used language on Steam following the success of Black Myth: Wukong.
