sorry mate, but I prefer gameplay over visuals. Im much happier with a game that looks like an old sega game but plays solidly compared to a broken mess of a game with 4k graphics running at 144fps (not 60 you p*ssy, 144 is much better)
this is why I fukk with Empire Earth over Starcraft 2...

Meanwhile in the real world Nexus is flooded with console gamers begging people to port every fukking mod on nexus for fallout 4...
"B-b-b-b-but make the 4k texture packs available on playbox1 "
"B-b-b-b-but make the 4k texture packs available on playbox1 "
aside from some bad ports, they're the exact same game just with higher frames per second and/or resolution.You calling me a p*ssy for playing 3K and 4K at 60fps, when the console counterparts are 30fps
What kinda logic is that?
And I dare anybody to play 3 or 4K at 144fps. I have the best gpus you can buy. It's not possible. I'd rather have higher Ks than FPS.
I'm getting a steady 60 on almost every single game, all ultra, at 3K. You're getting 30 fps at 1080p (if you're lucky)
Get outta here clown

@Ciggavelli isn't the guy you want to compare steam lists with.get out of where?
I have been trying to step out of these threads as they bore me, but I am already bored today...so why not
I have nothing better to do apparently, so why not drop a wall like @PS4 likes to do.
Exclusives? There are tons of exclusives, but generally not what you guys who be tempted to play. There are a ton of games on steam...the overall PC gaming market really just dwarfs consoles on a level that won't make much sense who just look at it from afar. Microsoft is trying to dip their toe back into PC gaming because they realized they made a mistake back in the mid 2000's and pretty abandoned the platform because they thought it might be dying.
Also you have to keep in mind that only a few PC games really have staying power because people tend to move on quickly. COD was popular on the PC for a while, but nowhere near as it was on the 360/PS3 because most pc gamers moved on to Counter-Strike, DOTA, CIV or other games that take better advantage of the platform. This is why you still see COD popular on the XBOX/PS4
You hear @Ciggavelli complain about ports all the time, but here is a good example as to why very popular console games generally don't receive a lot of attention.
Just take a look at the NPD for May's best selling games...these are all on PC:
Doom (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Overwatch (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Battleborn (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
Top games that are being played right now by about 2 million people as we speak on steam:
DOTA 2
Counter-Strike Go
Grand Theft Auto V
CIV V
Garry's Mod
Arma 3
Other games that likely crack up in or near the top 10 overall are Overwatch, DIABLO and Battlefield which are not steam games. Still though, the point is that that list up top of steam games is much different than this list of popular xbox one games:
XBOX Top Games
Xbox One Games
I can't find a list for PS4 games, but I would assume that some of their exclusives will top the list followed by what you see similar on the XBOX side.
That should give you a good indicator as to how different the platform audiences really are. Fanboys can pick and fight their dumb battles, but the reality is that the PC is really not in the same class as a console. The audience is completely different and in many cases much older than your standard console crowd. We like different games. Nintendo also has it's small niche and the reason why they are still able to make so much money.
To sidetrack a bit:
PC gaming is completely a different animal and those who are interested in it generally have a very different level of dedication to the hobby. Those who are on that level know how to work with it on the hardware level, take apart, clean up and rebuild if necessary with several parts they come across. We are generally considered software and hardware enthusiasts...it's a completely different crowd. We are the types to buy the PS4, XBOX ONE, Nintendo Wii U and open it up to see if we can clean out the thermal paste to Arctic MX-4 to possibly run a little cooler. Install an SSD to run things a little faster and then of course there is that crowd that likes to completely mod their consoles out with fans that have LED lights in them...the list goes on and on.
For example:
There was a refurb that I found which had a Core i7-3770, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD and was an RX 480 away from being a $400 VR monster that would absolutely wash the PS4/XBOX ONE. That $400 system could do VR and 1440P gaming easy.
To end:
It really depends on the games you play as the pc market is completely different than on consoles. The PC is still my favorite platform, but my favorite game this generation is basically an xbox one exclusive (TITANFALL). Yeah I can play titanfall on the PC, but do I really want to wait in that ghost-town or play with the thousands on xbox one?

If it's on PC, you can bet its not exclusive to it unless its an MMO. To that I say, Realm Reborn in the young gawd right now.
Also keep in mind that mods > everything on console. Skyrim is a different game every year.
