In defense of traditional console gaming - The PC master race utopia is not all it's cracked up to be

I use an Xbox Series S as my primary gaming machine because I'm poor and it allows me to compartmentalize my gaming into one device. It's not all that great, games don't run all that well (even with copious amounts of optimization) but I'm not a big gamer so it doesn't bother me.

I wish Valve would make a home console-like version of the Steam Deck without a battery and no screen. That would serve as a nice middle ground, because a lot of PC games simply aren't available on Xbox. I have to use an old PC to play Valve titles.
Also being able to mod games is nice.
Funny enough i also own a Series S, but i mainly use it to play OG Xbox and 360 games from the Backwards Compatibility program. It's nice to have all those free upgrades ( resolution, fps boost) for my back catalogue games.

Railroad Tycoon is nothing like Factorio, I've never heard that comparison before. It shows you how little you know about either game.
Don't be rude, he spend an entire minute comparing both wikipedia articles. Both are strategy games that involve trains, therefore, same game.
Checkmate tranny, yet another win for Joey!
Does Steam have games like Sonic Unleashed, Panzer Dragoon Orta and King Kong 2005 on it's store ? No ? That's what I thought .
Why do you think the only way you can play games on PC is thru Steam? lmfao underage little nigger faggot

I swear Steam has been a curse to the PC market since its inception because of shit like this.

We should have stayed with physical disc copies sold in actual brick'n'mortar shops.
 
The number of people who still talk about PCs like it's 1997 is really confusing.
It's one of the reasons I brought up the Donkey Kong Country example. It could probably be ported to 32X since it doesn't really utilize all eight buttons of the SNES and the 32X provides the color and sound that the Genesis can't, but that's a lot of work for a niche console. It wouldn't work on the original Genesis.

Porting it to PC would be a pain due to all the configurations at the time, sound cards, and so on.

So the crux of your argument is "durr, PC people only play old games" then admit you do the same, only on a worse system with backwards compatibility at the whim of Microsoft, and not with a common system (+ patches). Way to go.

Frankly I'm surprised you don't have a mid-April join date with these low-tier posts.

The 32X adds more memory, color and sound, some shitty oldfag 3D blast processing, but it doesn’t do shit to replace the display modes that the SNES had. The display driver part of the game would probably have to be reprogrammed from scratch. The 32X was mainly designed with porting over Sega’s recent 3D arcade games in mind, like the Virtua series. But it also had no hardware 3D rendering. All the 3D had to be software rendered. It had two CPUs which nobody wanted to deal with. Just a shitty rushjob overall. The PS1 was way easier to work with. I don’t know wtf Sega’s home hardware R&D was smoking in this era.

How are newer consoles going to be worth anything? PS5 is going to be valuable when it's library is PS4 games? PC's can always be upgraded for less than half the cost of the current Niggerstation. Not to mention, even the current games getting put out aren't worth dropping nearly a grand on a console when you can just buy that slop on Steam eventually.

You can still buy PS1s for $100. Truly retarded take.

EDIT upon further reading. You're just a mongoloid Nintenigger.

Retarded OP aside, there's not a lot of difference nowadays. Which was a bit of a downer after I bought a beefy PC only to spend the following years reading Visual Novels on it. Graphic and performance are usually negligible, modding is straight up dead, being dominated by either coomers, trannies or political dipshits.
My biggest issue with PC is that I have other shit on it as well, it's too tempting to open a browser on the second monitor, which kills immersion.
 
Also you're coping if you think the latest hot indie games like Factorio are better than classics like Railroad Tycoon.
There so many things wrong with this statement I legit don't even know where to begin.

Factorio is not a "latest hot indy", it came out in 2013. Its 12 years old at this point. It built a lasting fanbase over an extremely long time, its not a flavour of the week.

Railroad Tycoon and Factorio are not the same genre. They are not even remotely close. Factorio is not even inspired by Railroad Tycoon, its inspired by industrycraft and it didn't even have trains in the early versions because the trains are a miniscule part and some megabase designs don't even use trains to begin with.

Factorio is a puzzle game about setting up automated supply chains based on extraction and manufacturing that can run indefinitely on their own while supplying your factory's defences. You're building a von neumann fortress, not a bussiness empire. The primary gameplay loop has to do with mastering spacial reasoning because you have to individually find the optimal layout for 100 different recipes that use a dozen ingredients all of which you have to make from scratch.

Railroad Tycoon is a bussiness managing game about railroad barons competing for territory and stocks, its about long term strategic planning and resource (physical and abstract) management. The trains don't even function the same, in factorio trains are just one method of transporation and not even the primary one, which is belts, factorio is more focused on automating micro while tycoon is about manually managing the macro.

Resources in factorio are free, you just tap into a new vein if your old one runs out, resource management isn't the primary gameplay challenge.

The fact that you're comparing them means that you've never made it past either game's title screen and are either trolling or throwing random shit at the wall and hoping nobody will call you out on it.

This was admittedly a pretty low effort post ( by the time I posted it the thread had already been derailed so hard that there was no point in putting in any real effort into my replies anymore ). You can pretty much disregard everything posted on this thread (this goes for every poster) after page 2.
 
It is hilarious how many retard PC gamers don't get that this was a joke about PC gamers and their superiority complex over using their little pride floats and whining about games that do n't run well or have limited options.

By this point it is an IQ test, which PC gamers, by their nature, fail miserably.

And so, the filthy console peasant exposes themselves, as they cannot accept that they are inferior.

Ever heard of emulators. Sonic is for troons. King Kong was released for PC you can download it here for free https://oldgamesdownload.com/peter-jacksons-king-kong/
Porting it to PC

The whole discussion is quite pointless, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are woke, if you are against wokeness you don't give them money simple as that. But I forgot that this is the kiwifarms and the people here love to support wokeness with their money. Don't forget to buy Battlefield 6, so you too can support the hatred of White men.

I love that you are so lame that you have to feel superior over using a PC to play games, but I suppose you have to take any W you can manufacture for yourself, no matter how pathetic it really is.
