I didn't install that mod, but the tits on the Saber Cats are awesome, there's 8 so they're anatomically correct.

I hate PC gamers that wasn't too play everything with mouse and keyboard. Like, in this very forum I saw guys that wanted to play Dark Souls with the mouse+keys. That's so retarded

"Wtf, I don't want a steering wheel on the car, I want a plane's joystick"

Consoles own. Also you never have to upgrade a console, ever. Just one purchase

what's wrong with computer games? you can plug them into a TV and use a controller then it's pretty much the same thing as a console only prettier

was just playing the wolf among us at 3840x2160 downscaled to 1080p at 60fps with vsync while laying in bed with a controller

pc games are alright

my computer is at my desk like regular people, it's just connected to the TV at the foot of my bed by an HDMI cable

I just switch inputs from my monitor to my TV if I wanna lay down and play

but if I wanna play something like divinity original sin, which is a keyboard/mouse game, I switch back to the monitor

PCs are basically whatever you want them to be, steam can turn your expensive fancy computer into a fancy console, and there are even micro ATX cases that are the size or maybe even smaller than an xbox one

the idea that PCs are too technically complex or required a desk and mouse and keyboard is just outdated

If playing video games on a computer sounds awful, then perhaps you should get a better set of speakers. Maybe you have a lovely sound card. I hear the Mockingboard is pretty schwai.

Playing games on a computer is the best, OP. THE BEST.

You get to gently caress around with your computer's hardware AND your software, and if you want to use a controller you need to mess around some more with more software (but who wouldn't want to use office productivity software instead of a device made specifically for playing games like some kind of chump?) and you can always greatly improve your game with several anime hair and rebalancing mods. Glorious, glorious mods! You can mimic playing console on a console by Frankensteining up a way to display your computer on a television screen, and you can still feel how jury-rigged it all is, which is THE BEST FEELING. Who wants to just play a game on a console like an idiot when you can spend hours loving around with your game delivery method? CASUAL GAMERS, that's who. We like to ignore all the things we've appropriated whilst looking down our noses at consoles over the years, acknowledging this fact is bad form, shhh.

If you really get into gaming on a computer, you can be like that TotalBiscuit fella and just be a smug insufferable rear end in a top hat, but baby steps, OP!

Babby steps.

that is pretty awesome.

in an early build of The Unreal World you could skin humans and make leather from the skin and make clothes with the leather. i slaughtered a house of people and made human skin clothes and then hid in the house because everyone in the village was trying to kill me but they couldn't get in. i also had a big cottage with a fence all around and spiked pit traps and i'd regularly collect expensive items from the traders that fell in the pits. then i tried to play a recent version last month and really didn't have the patience to do anything but it is a fond memory.

edit: i forgot to say that they took the ability to skin people out of the game at some point. i was a little disappointed

I played Metro: Last Light on my PC maxed out at 60 FPS, I enjoyed it a lot, some of the moments were right out of a movie and the PhysX was incredible and immersive.
I had a great time, I went to my friend's house and sat down to play some Watch_Dogs, immediately upon touching the controller, I started to convulse, then the game loaded and I saw the graphics, and blood began to pour out of my nose, I tried to aim and shoot someone and the cross-hair slid across the x-axis like a turd gliding through my KY jelly smothered rear end in a top hat, immediately my dick became soft and retreated inside me.
My friend desperately grabbed at his phone and started to call 9-11, but it was too late, I had attempted to enter an intersection where there were more than 6 NPCs at once, and the framerate dropped to sub 20 frames, immediately the bones in my neck fractured, and the cartilage inside my body began to melt into a goopy magma that seared my insides.

As you can see OP, I barely survived, the only reason I'm alive today is because they put me on Crysis 3 on a Tri SLI GTX Titan setup at the hospital, and it slowly nursed me back to health.

Some people just can't handle the rigors of console gaming, unfortunately, I was not hard enough, I can only remain a soft and tender pupa in this world of hardcore gaming and videogames.
