that is literally twice the price of a console, which is what i said in my post, i said you'd need to pay twice as much money. And then you can't even play the best looking games on it, because they aren't on the PC lmao, you gotta play lovely mobas and counterstrike and mmos with all the other spergs.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

The Division, Battlefield 1, Rise of the Tomb Raider. Hell, even the newest Gears of War looks better IMO.

Whoa this guy sure does love brown and grey games. None of those games look as good as Horizon or Uncharted, you're wrong as heck. Gears of War lol at those characters and enemies. And Tomb Raider is just an lamer looking version of horizon with much worse gameplay. You pc gamers are just starving for games.

It's a fact that you can generally put larger textures and better effects on PC, hell, even the Xbone X can make games look better than the ps4 pro.

Something about GPU pipelines or whatever techno-magic though makes the PS4 capable of doing poo poo PCs can't. The particle effects in Infamous Second Son and First Light come to mind.

In general, though, PC games have the capability to look much better than console games.

I have to admit that Uncharted 4 has the best human faces of any game by a wide margin.

I am disappointed that my attempt at a Nintendo honeypot was derailed for another PC master race argument.

Which makes no sense because PC is objectively better in every metric.

Bloodborne and Yakuza are nice. Horizon Zero Dawn looks really cool. I just don't care enough about them to buy a console when I can play literally 95% of the same library on a PC I've already built, usually for much cheaper if I'm willing to wait for a Steam Sale or HumbleBundle. Plus I'm a fan of Guild Wars 2 and alt. games, and those don't have any representation on consoles.

I'm not being antagonistic, those are literally my circumstances.

Bloodborne is awesome, but the Yakuza series has terrible combat, and is just a poor man's GTA.

it really isn't the same experience as gta at all, they are just similar at first glance

like cmon gta is a driving game where you drive 90% of the missions

also everybody in the world has beaten gta years ago

GTAV has a popular online mode that has made Rockstar over 500 million dollars, I like to play it sometimes. It's why GTAV is rarely on sale and is still being sold for $60 four years after release.

In fact, since this is the unpopular opinion thread, it's the most fun online game for the ps4.

I think GTAV probably killed traditional gaming. From now on it's going to be online, MMO, loot box bullshit for everything. We used to talk about "tacked-on multi-player" but "tacked-on (maybe) single-player" is the future.

Rockstar didn't invent MMOs or loot crates, they don't even have loot crates in the game, also they focused on the single player story and released the multiplayer aspect after release.

I think it opened up pandora's box for peer-to-peer multiplayer though, big publishers realised they could save millions of dollars by negating the need for servers and now you see it everywhere.

I know. they basically fell into it rear end backwards. I think some of the project leads didn't even want to make it in the beginning. I think even stuff like Halo and Call of Duty multi-player being more popular was a surprise. Doesn't matter, after the money these companies are making off this poo poo there's basically no way around it.

Are you sure that you aren't just overestimating what a PS4 can do? Because it's hardware was outdated even when it came out and it really doesn't take much to run modern games at 720p 30 fps, especially if you consider that the Non-Pro PS4 can't even keep stable 30 fps in a lot of games.

i don't think any ps4 games run at 720p, sometimes they run at 900p but not that often

GTA 4 was better, better driving and a lot more interactive

hell the mission variety and length was a lot better, there were actual shootouts and poo poo

all the weapons in gta 5 were practically the same and the game just played more like an interactive movie

consoles use those dedicated 1 task graphics gpus, but eventually they'll be outclasses by a regular desktop graphics card in like a month which has way more future proofing and actual graphical fidelity while the console will be stuck rendering newer games at low settings
