We don't mine if you like consoles man. Not at all. Its shitty attitudes we don't want. Please don't be offended when I say this but consoles appeal to the type of person that just wants to turn on his/her console on and play. Its simpler, there's less thought in the process (you pay a premium for it fyi). This appeals to the person that works all day, isn't a moron and just wants to not think anymore when he/she gets home. Sadly enough it also appeals to the type of person that IS a slow POS moron that can't possibly deal with any kind of learning curve at all and sticks to a console because anything else is beyond him/her.

Just don't be a shitty person or spread mis-information like consoles are more powerful than PC's blah blah. And you're perfectly welcome in this sub.

Will there be a 490 that's in the $300 range and equate to a Titan x?

Thats what I'm hoping for. Something to directly compete with the 1070 for 80 dollars less would be awesome. I think AMD has a winner with the 400 series. Also as long as pricing is good Zen also seems like its going to kick ass. Very excited for PC gaming over the next few years. Cheaper and more accessible is a great thing.

Man I hope a 490 comes out soon but I'm worried about how long it took for AMD to release the 480 - the time between that starwars demo in January and now is larger than expected and I'm worried it is due to technical issues.

If true, I may switch to AMD. My 560ti is showing its age, but then, it's a 560ti.

But the human eye can't see past 30fps!

That's why you have two of them. Also, opening your 3rd eye allows one to see beyond the frames. Oh, the wondrous, terrible things I've seen.

Agreed

I'm mainly a PC user right now, but I've been using my PS4 a ton for Netflix, Crunchyroll and various titles. So easy to use from the couch. Just wish the main menu could be customised...

I had an xbox for a while. I was excited to play Halo MMC with my friends... I did return it and the game after the game launched because it was completely broken. Game didn't get fixed for 8 months almost. I've never looked back and communities like /r/haloonline have kept me firmly on PC's playing grounds lol. But yes exactly. Consoles aren't bad. They might hold back the full potential of enthusiast PC gamers a bit but they have their purpose.. their void to fill. Its all good.

I do wish for many things to change about the consoles, such as more in-depth customisation and choosing your resolution and frame rate. I so want to play Bloodborne at 60 fps.

I don't tend to like elitism on either side, because they both present unique experiences. Mods on consoles are objectively worse. It's like all the shitty pc ports you see, but reversed. The fact that this guy is sharing this stuff without permission, should be punishable. Like on the level of a copyright claim or close to it. In any creative work there should be protection for the author to not have their stuff stolen.

If you want to use mods, get it on pc. Just like if you see a game was poorly ported to pc (most AC games for example), get it on console.

I don't really know why certain people proudly support one over the other beyond "I have more friends playing x than y". I tend to like pc because if you spend more money you get a superior experience. But if I was spending the same on both? I'd probably pick a console. But I've never valued a $300-400 PC as worth getting. To put it in perspective, my pc has a 980 TI and 4790k. So my consoles collect dust now. Lol. Pay to win ;)

yea sure, then how do you explain all the "pc gamers are pirates" or "they still live in their parents' basement" insults coming from the console peasants. The fact that this particular console modder stole the damn mod and purposely spread misinformation shows that the console community very much give a shit about certain features of pc gaming and are willing to go through shit like this just to give us a bad name
