When exactly did you realize consoles are the bane of PC gaming?

Fallout New Vegas when I saw concept art freeside vs the reduce freeside with a ton of loading areas so consoles could handle it.

Nah, that's an issue with Bethesda's crappy engine.

When they took the FPS, a PC genre, allowed consolefags to play it using gimped input devices (controllers) because muh couch gameplay and then gave them cheats (aimbot) to compensate.

Look on the bright side: consoles restraining graphics also means restraining the increase of hardware requirements, so you don't have to upgrade your PC often.

Die mad faggot that can't use a mouse better than aim assist

Post the protection dog you fucking retards QUICK

fuck you

I didn't. Most people have bad integrated GPUs. I'd be great if consoles had an OS mode.

Devs making bad decisions isn't the fault of standardised hardware mass produced cheap.

Like 2011.
Witcher 3 looks and is more technically impressive than 2 thoughbiet.

Many such cases

When exactly did you realize open worlds are the bane of gaming?

Fixed.

No it isn't, just compare the source codes. W3's is available freely and W2's is kind of gatekept so good luck

cause you pirate or wait until a deep discount of sub $20

Only people who can't afford vidya do that, so if anything PC gaming allows developers to scrape the barrel plus get free publicity from pirates if their game is good. It's what boosted Kenshi's popularity in the early days.

Die

Is it me or witcher 2 is looking better than your average ue5 sloppa?

When PC gamers spent a decade begging for Bloodborne

It was ahead of it's time

I'm a little more than disgusted that consolefaggotry has continued to exist. It's not 2005 anymore; everyone and their mothers should be aware that consoles are literally neutered computers.
But no the average normalfag thinks a console is some kind of mythical standalone machine.
IT'S A FUCKING COMPUTER, RESTRICTED IN FUNCTION AND CAPABILITY BY A CORPORATION TO FEED YOU SLOP AND HOLD THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY

It was pretty late, when the whole Watch Dogs downgrade happened. I mean I had seen Fallout New Vegas on 360 vs. PC and I didn't even think that maybe devs would downgrade the PC version so the console one doesn't look like a PS1 game, but Watch Dongers was the proverbial straw

not anymore. now shillvidia and AI frame slop is the worst thing to ever happen to games.
we had it comparatively good when our main problem was consoles holding back graphics fidelity.

I fucking adore Witcher 1's atmosphere bro's

Made for consoles, not really some ground breaking PC exclusive

downgradegate was brutal

it was not consoles that made CDPR make the 3rd game an open world title. you are placing the blame on the wrong thing

nah the open world was fine before the downgrades

Lol pc fags are tragic. No one wants to come over and play PC games with you bro. I use a keyboard 32 hours a week at work. I'm not using it to play games with you on my days off you fucking shut-in.

Both these games were downgraded cause devs were guessing what the specs were for next gen consoles and turned out it was lower than their expectations so had to scale bsck

if you think the top image is superior to the bottom, you're legitimately fucking retarded.

I love how the first Witcher was made on the same engine they used for Neverwinter Nights.

babies first bullshots?

We just ignoring the update for modern systems they released a few years ago?

The downgrades happened because the cost of making the game meant they could not rely solely on pc gamers in order to recoup the cost. The devs straight up admitted that one, it was a vertical slice, and two, Witcher 3 can't exist without console player money.

Yeah blame Sony and Microsoft for sending out devkits too late and using tablet tier hardware

A lot of the renderer was rewritten btw

Calm down gramps we call them vertical slices now

The 1 that changed nothing? It's there I guess, enjoy stutters due to a DX wrapper and memory leakage so bad a 4090 shits itself in 3 hours

tldr: greed and everyone already knows that

CDPR is full of Jews

All pc players talk about is not being able to run shit. You think things would be more advanced if it was just them?

it's not so bad

it's not so bad

As I said this before.
It's Open World design not consoles

How does this even make sense when the witcher 2 was heavily consolized?

This image has nothing to do with consoles. The first map is a small and dense detailed forest while the second is an open world with tons of shit to render.

Dude Sex 2

Just be glad it's not mobile phones.

So with the very first FPS's then?

consolefags hated him because he spoke the truth

Or it could be because FPS's were never PC exclusive, Doom and Wolf 3D got a fuckton of console ports.

I played Halo on PC and loved it thoughever.

.

People who bitch about consolefags live in a fantasy world where

all pcfags have top of the line PCs and only use keyboards and mice to control games

wrpg and fps are the only genres that exist

consoles never existed until the 7th gen, maybe 6th depending on how buttmad Halo makes you

and mobile gaming doesn't exist at all

Of course they won't realize that if it wasn't consoles holding them back, it would be something else.

Witcher 1 is better

Pff

PC gaming?

no such thing

Wasn't TW2 literally a day 1 xbox release?

No it got ported with the enhanced edition

Fuck, I want to suck on this guys nipples. I love GTA 6 now.

kys

nigger

bruh they both came out in the same decade. what did you expect, magic?

Witcher 3 is overrated

oblivion consolefying everything from UI to gameplay mechanics themselves in comparison to morrowind

that's witcher 2, tho

IMMUNITY DOG GO

fpbp

meanwhile sony and microsoft come to us unrequested to grovel at our feet

whatever you say kid

When Elden Ring for the ps4 was released

They did this shit with dark souls 2 as well. I think they just got better at hiding it now.

When games stopped having server browsers. In fact, if you willingly use matchmaking over server browsers, you're an honorary consoleshitter.

die

Really dude?
Fuck you.
I invoke immunity dog on this thread.

fuck you anon

.

I gave your immunity dog the ol' yeller

dishonest screenshot

It's a little bit of both. Memory limits were definitely tight on 7th gen.

Morrowind in 2002, the first notorious case of dumbing down a series.

Say what you will about Witcher 3's downgrade, at least the game is pretty vibrant. Or at least I remember it being so.
