      1. @coolboymew PS4 > Xbone. But PC is still master race.

      1. @maiyannah Why not?

        1. @normandy Because steam is awful and the PS4 is an overpriced space heater.

          1. @maiyannah You probably could run a game from GOG on it.

            1. @normandy Yes if I wanted an inferior experience.

              1. @maiyannah Lol. If anyone really wants a serious gaming system, PC is still the way to go.

                1. @normandy I can make a considerably stronger machine than the PS4 for the same price as one costs retail.  I used to moonlight doing exactly that when I was more into the whole tech industry thing.  These days I'm a bit like Statler and Waldorf, I'm not part of the show but I'm part of the show.

                  PS2 and PS3 gen the appeal was it was a prebuilt system with fairly decent specs on the cheap.  It filled a niche.  PS4 and XBox360 are both more expensive than those used to be, not much stronger, and a bananaing embarassment compared to a PC in that price range.

                  Not to mention how much they try to lock you into the walled garden these days.

    3. @normandy Yeah, but exactly what can you run on a PS4? Running OGL games will be MUCH slower than standard PS4 games.

      1. @dolus If someone manages to port Vulkan over, it might change. But like I've said to others anyone who really wants a serious gaming system should go PC.

        1. @normandy @dolus

          Controversial opinion:

          Best combination this gen is Wii U and PC. At least the Wii U has banana ton of exclusives. The other two? Not so much, like most of the library is also on PC =/

        2. @normandy Yeah... Also much easier to get Linux running on something you build yourself.
