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.

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 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.
