I Can list things that are wrong with every platfrom there is, ever platform, even PC has pros and cons. If Battlefield Friends had a video about console elitism I'd post that one too.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT PORTING STO TO THE FRIKIN PS4, XBOX ONE, PS3, XBOX 360 OR Wii/Wii U.Can not stress this enough, this is not that thread okay. And if you looked I changed the title to a more suitable title, though it seems to have only changed it on the Original post only.
Once again you misunderstand. I was questioning your motivations for making this post in the first place except to flame all the people that posted in your original thread about wanting a port to PS4. Which is precisely what you wrote in your original, unedited thread.
Cost - Generally takes a larger initial investment to play games smoothly on the PC -Wrong, you can build a gaming rig for the same as a console when it is released, and the same as a console and the TV when it is being phased out.
Tweaking/Optimization - May take some tweaking of your video settings and possibly controls to get optimal performance -"May take", keyword here. default settings are fine just to play. tweaking is done when you want more. Controls are tweaked for personal preferance.
Some maintenance (patches, drivers) can be expected. -Consoles now get patches to games and updates to the system. Updating drivers is and should be routine maintenace regardless if it is a gaming rig or not.
Pros of playing on the Console:
Little or no Initial Setup - Plug and Play -Not quite factual anymore, more and more titles require updates to play and registering of product and installing to the harddrive. Many platforms like Steam make it far easier to install, update and play on PC when this claim was valid.
Convenient - Sofa Gaming -Can be done with a PC as well. With a controller, On the bigscreen TV.
Assured Performance Consistency - Skyrim is likely to run well on consoles because developers know the exact hardware specifications they are designing for. -Skyrim had just as many bugs requiring a patch on console as it did for PC. Console version did not have the unnoficial patches that fixed the vast majority of those bugs. Skyrim was also practicaly unplayable on the PS3 after many hours of playing because of the save system. Xbox and PC did not suffer this problem.
Achievements/Trophies --- I disagree with this one, as long as you have Steam you generally have Achievements, not that having them or not is a big deal. -Achievments and trophies can be found on PC games as well.
Consoles are generally the first to get official DLCs -This is true but only because the console makers make a deal with the game companies so their platform recieves DLC first. This has nothing to do with platform superiority.
Cons of playing on the Console:
No ability for Advanced Video settings (in game).
No mod support.
Locked to a specific control scheme."
Seems like a pretty good list.
This thread was actually poking fun at Elitism of all platforms, not about PC better then console or console better then PC.- posting this list is being a console elitist because it is so full of wrong information and console fanboy propaganda.
Response to the list in red.
Truth is consoles have no superior features to PC anymore and are nothing more than a closed platform PC. The whole argument of superiority is the worst argument. Yes PC is superior hardware wise but the only real superiority of any system is personal preferance.
So you think console are the best platform, I am happy for you.:rolleyes:
