I was perusing Kotaku on an article about Fallout 4 and the graphical differences. I get down to the comments section and there is the obligatory war regarding console vs PC. XBOX vs Playstation etc.
I am a PC gamer. I understand the merits of consoles. What pissed me off is, I feel like the animosity is created by exclusive titles. I think that is the real enemy here. Except Nintendo, screw them.

The way I explain it is, I stopped bothering to do regular PC upgrades back around 2006, and the exclusives such as they are and controller fit/form/function say Ex-Bob for me. Other people have different wants, needs, and priorities. *shrug*
Sometimes exclusives make for a pretty good hand-in-glove tailoring to the console of a game. I’m okay with that.

But why hate on Nintendo?
They’re just chillin off to the side doing their own thing.

Speaking of Fallout. Has anyone found a weapon which isn’t a pipe gun or a Fatman? Is a simple Laser Rifle too much too ask for?

I haven’t started yet. Will when I get home from work. Work ruins everything.

Honestly, I feel like they’ve slowly but surely destroyed my three favorite game genres on the system. Mario Party, Smash Brothers and Mario Kart. I also feel like the WiiU was completely unnecessary and a cash grab.

Personally, my upgrades have been farther between but the games don’t seem to be as demanding. I think it’s because GPUS these days are going for 4k performance, so 1080 is no sweat. I just hate exclusives, want to play Halo? Better shell out for that Xbox, want to play Gran Turismo, better get that Playstation. It’s pointless, they’re all developed on a PC anyway.

I have limited time to even play games anymore. Too many long hours at work and too much PCH garaging. I can look at an “enemy” exclusive and think “ooh, that looks kind of nice”, but it’s hard enough to keep up with my own freshest games exclusive or otherwise.

I hear that. I get maybe a game every several months, time constraints.

I totally agree.
Also, I HATE the fact that Forza and GT aren’t available for PC, and I’m not buying a console just for one game. Fuck that.

They’re missing out on easy sales.

Double barrel shotgun. Minigun. Laser musket. Not much else. Though I've only played about 3hrs.

Saw that. All I can say is that they looked the same side by side on my computer. Besides my Xbone connects to a 720p TV so it's not like I care that much at all.

I have a decent gaming PC with a wheel and a 3ds. I’m happy with the combination

I’ve got a decent PC, which I hook up to my TV. I too have a wheel. It gets a ton of use from gaming and Netflix etc. I also have a Wii which never gets used.

I’m 5 in and I just hit the motherlode of energy weapons. Tip: listen to the military broadcast.

I suppose those are fair points.
I just like how Nintendo doesn’t try and be the best, it just tries to be fun.

I do respect them for doing their own thing. I’m just a bit annoyed

I hate the platform exclusives.

I got the Wii U and I feel it’s a very solid system, although I’m not sure what you mean by having destroyed Smash Brothers and Mario Kart. SSB seems to have a very solid following (I haven’t played it yet) but Mario Kart on Wii U is excellent, except for the multiplayer battle mode.
There’s definitely issues with the Wii U, but overall I’ve had tremendous fun with this system.

Yeah I haven’t even bothered setting up my Wii since I moved a few months ago

Especially xbox exclusives, it’s the same company for god’s sake!

Yeah. That makes no sense.

Sounds sweet. Must be a local broadcast, I haven't heard it out by the starting corner.

Because they are criminal scum who refuse to release another F-Zero.
