Still is

t. fedora

Still is.

Valve stopped making singleplayer games.

Sonyfags are jealous they don't get top tier exclusives like this store.steampowered.com/app/657630/Fidget_Spinner/

Nothing, it's as it always was.
A colossal pile of trash, where everyone adds even more trash. In all this trash however you can find awesome games that are GOTY.

No comany is going to put the effort to make games tailored to people who are just going to pirate it.

no games

Early Access happened

Valve became a monopoly and became a casino instead of a game development studio. They made half-hearted efforts towards everything. They backed things onto to drop them and lose the trust of every company they partnered with. They fucked over every vendor, hardware company, and the entirety of their clientele. And then they fucked over every developer with Greenlight.

Every bridge has been burned.

PCMR faggots formed a cult around Gaben and allowed steam to become shit tier. Devs also stopped pushing high end hardware and mobas became super popular. Consoles also hit a simmilar pit of shit. Gaming as a whole needs to crash and burn to cleanse itself but mouthbreathers are keeping it going.

It's stronger than it's ever been. Just look at pic related for fucks sake.

>DIGITAL CUTS PRICES ON GAMES!!!
>Games cost as much or even more than games on consoles
>Don't even get preorder bonuses or other goodies

Steam doesn't give a shit does it?

Can't keep up with the power of the Supercharged PS4.

Factor in Piratefags stealing everything, no one wants to develop for the platform.

>>Games cost as much or even more than games on consoles
This isn't remotely true (at least for normie games). There's still a very noticeable difference.

Still is the best, no argument.

i mean its still best fps/graphics wise

but in general exclusives dont really exist anymore as companies want as much dollah possible

+gabe is a cuck

The only thing PC has ever had to show for is Counter Strike and Artificial Academy

>Valve stopped making singleplayer games.
Valve never made good games in the first place

This is probably the closest to the fact. Part of the other problem is just the slow Generation 8 with consoles releasing speed-bumped versions or in the case of Nintendo, a new console entirely

Valve no longer had to compete for their audience, so like any post-monopoly company, they jacked up the prices.

Nothing has come out that has stressed PC hardware since crysis. I still get 1080/60 off a pc I built in 2011.

Nothing happened

>tfw fell for the PC gaming meme and built a 3k PC
>Only played games on it for a month before going back to PS4/3DS
>3K gaymen rig is now only used for porn and shitposting

We're you triggered that they used you in their pic sonybro?

and what games do you play?

>shitposting
then youre playing the greatest game ever made

The Master Race meme became unironic.

Then why are there so few exclusives announced nowadays? Let alone worthwhile ones?

>why are there so few games announced nowadays? Let alone worthwhile ones?
fixed it for you

PC gaming hasn't been good since the 90s.

Sony are the kings of gaming since the early 2000s and still get the best games.

Lets put all memes aside. The only platform with lots of popular exclusives is nintendo.

The ps4/xbone both have practically zero At least PC has a few good ones like CIV, but lets be honest most are early acces indieshit.

PC only has early access survival games developed by transgenders

>best games.
like?

what do you mean?
Some of the best shit is coming out now. Of course, it's only the beginning. Once source 2 is released, there'll be a flood of high quality indies.

There'll be a lot of trash too, but that's to be expected. That's the sign of a healthy market.


As for now, I'm playing my fully modded starsector. One of the best things I've ever experienced in a game.

its people being
>muh indie
failing to see that people were calling them 3rd party support before they coined the indie is trash

its people cherry picking user

Yakuza 0
TLG
Yakuza Kiwami
Yakuza 6
Bloodborne
Persona 5

etc etc etc

It's the superior platform and the market has spoken. I still buy multiplats on PC for better performance but Sony has the best games. I barely even use my PC since the exclusives are butt and multiplats in general aren't good anymore.

Sorry that you're sad.

Hmm

Neck yourself weeb virgin, BB is overrated as fuck

>naming 3 yakuza games
>some no name

Thats my PS4 and ima sell it soon because no games

Most games are shit anymore but that's not just a pc problem. You gotta dig past the aaa garbage to find decent games anymore.

Valve and Blizzard were the pillars of PC gaming, still are, but everything they do these days is trash.

What a difference a decade makes

When you win, you stop trying.

Only strategy games are actually exclusive and will never work the same on consoles. Other than that there's nothing lost with ports and shit.
I'd much rather have the kind of library that we do today (tons of ports, indies and the occasional AA exclusive) than years ago with tons of exclusives and also tons of games I'd never play because I didn't own a console.

Lol that pic looks like Jimmy neutron in college

>cash grab games like clash of clans copy 10329393383, stolen bejewwed and the like make more than consoles, litteraly only made for games

these are probably what are making everything shit

there is no love, creativity or gameplay in those "games", just give us more money tactics, i would wager they are really fucking things up

>3k PC

I don't know how you even spend that much money on a PC. Like you have to fall for programming memes as opposed to plain old gaymen memes.

>Valve has a monopoly over the majority of the market
>highest grossing games are low effort, low skill cap casual games like Overwatch or generic early access shit like PUBG
>modding is slowly dying out
>RTS is dead, FPS is dead
>Denuvo
Years ago I could brag to my friends and encourage them to build a gaming PC, but now it's just a depressing shell of what it used to be. It's just a higher spec console, all I play anymore are MMOs, console ports and emulated games.

devs stopped making good games

our hopes now lie in the indie scene and Japs

Still is, just ignore the Steam babbies who are too queer to use a mic or not use a faggy anime avatar.

>Being a fucking weeb
>making fun of someone with that haircut

maybe you should check wether you are a loser yourself user?

There are massive piles of terrible games and so many games for PC are horrendous ports. Great potential but poor execution.

It's like having an Italian supercar with no wheels.

PC developers realized that PC gamers just pirate everything, so in order to raise their capital, they've decided to go full console support. It's sad, but we brought it upon ourselves.

>smaller player base
>constant upgrades
>ridiculously expensive
>less dev support
>games are console ports
>indie titles are largely subpar

too many normies caught on to the "LE EBIN PC MASTER RACE"

normies have shit taste so MOBAs, e-sports, and microtransactions became acceptable

:^)

PC gamers are a very anal and puzzling group of people, they openly advocate pro-consumerism and anti-corporate speech but give ownership of their entire game library to a single company and secretly enjoy Steam's monopoly. They often preach about playing games at the highest quality only to find all they play are old console ports and hentai porn games instead of games like Zelda BOTW and Bloodborne. They glorify Steam and Gaben for killing the value and market for physical PC games, they then apologize for Gaben for rolling in millions of dollars of profit then investing literally not a cent of it back into the platform to help ensure games are optimized and to garner third party support while community literally has to fend for itself and come up with it's own fixes for broken games. They preach about supporting developers and how consoles are killing the industry while ignoring Steam takes 30% from every sale, Nintendo takes 15%, Microsoft takes 20% and Sony takes 10%. They criminalize every company who actually invests in their platform by using their profits to develop software simply because they don't get to play it. They will also ridicule a consoles hardware spec as being underpowered and holding back the industry(while they play old console ports and hentai games) only to find the best two games of this generation run at 30fps with drops, the best looking game graphically speaking runs on consoles and the best games in general are begged for by the very same people... I could go on and on but the modern PC user who refuses to play on anything else is a bonafied moron with low iq. Sorry but you need to wake up to yourself.

Calling bs on that graph due to the fact that it says 2018 & 2019

DELETE THIS

PC has no Big Budget AAA exclusives. It makes sense for Sony & Nintendo to have them, but why spend $100 mil on making a game for just one platform in 2017?

And yet it's still better than consoles.

he went on logicalincrements and fell for the higher tiers/enthusiast builds memes, trying to ramdisk modern games and a OC ready i7 he didn't oc

>Devs also stopped pushing high end hardware


good, i hate having to upgrade every fucking year

>all they play are old console ports and hentai porn games instead of games
the fuck are you talking about, check steam stats, half of the most popular games there are PC exclusive
>they then apologize for Gaben for rolling in millions of dollars of profit then investing literally not a cent of it back into the platform to help ensure games are optimized and to garner third party support while community literally has to fend for itself and come up with it's own fixes for broken games
so valve is now responsible for the ports of other developers?
> Nintendo takes 15%, Microsoft takes 20% and Sony takes 10%
source?

> the best looking game graphically speaking runs on consoles
The best looking games is objectively not uncharted if that's what you are getting at, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Battlefield 1, Battlefront look much better.

esports
indie oversatuation
and the fact that most peepeecucks would rather watch people play vidya than actually play themselves

>answering to Pasta

Not an argument

You are either stupid or shit posting, in which case is all your fault.

It's the best right now if you're a fucking weeb with graphics autism.

Nothing actually happened. It's still by far the best platform on the market. The only difference is that now you have hordes of idiots thinking shit like Bloodborne is a bigger determinator for who's the top dog rather than actual frame rate and graphics and then acting like every single PC user must be desperate for said game. Which of course is fucking ridiculous.

DELET!!!!!

This is the reality of of PC gaming in my country, PC gaming is literally the biggest meme out there it's probably the same for the US too. This is a PC I built recently and anyone who knows about PC parts knows I cut corners everywhere I could to come under $1000.

PC gaming is basically 2-3x more expensive than console gaming, it basically costed me $800 and I still cant fully outperform a PS4. My PC can't even offer better visuals than ps4's best looking games despite costing 2-3x as much and to top it off, PC HAS NO FUCKING GAMES.

I don't know if 60fps is worth spending so much money while missing out on console games but I did it and here I am, I can't even emulate wii games without my PC getting a heart attack for fuck sake

Don't fall for the PC meme, its expensive, there's no software and is just good for emulating old console games.

Also indie game stopped being new fun little projects made by underdog around 2012ish, now they're commonplace to the point of defining the PC platform.

One of my huge gripes with Steam specifically is lack of variety in the games available. Ive been running through my discovery queue more often during the summer sale and I'm realizing how much of steam is either mediocre FPSs or spreadsheet simulators.
Seriously if FPS and grand strategy aren't your favorite genres steam can seem incredibly dull at times

>hardware is more important than games

you are basically everything wrong with the entire PC community.

MMO, Moba and Online fps shit. That's PC '""""gaming""""""" for ya.

> calculates the mouse and monitor as PC expenses
> gtx 750
> bought 2TB harddrive instead of keeping his files and check and putting more money where it matters

you can only blame yourself

>putting more money where it matters

I can't do anything with $80, it wouldn't change anything anyway and I need a place to store PS2,WII,PS1,PSP,DS,GBA,SNES and NES's entire libraries because they are the only games worth playing on PC

"PC gaming is a meme" is a forced meme by butthurt autists like you. Stop posting it and go back to NeoGAF.
That's assuming it's wrong to actually have some standards and not wanting to play blurry fucking slideshows. We do enjoy our games and play them, just not at framerates that were already getting obsolete 5 fucking years ago.

>6 years ago
I think you will find that the year thing started to go to shit for all vidya, 2000, was long before that.

>complaining about weebs on a weeb forum

Pc E3 was pathetic
Microsoft saved pc though.

use your fucking brain moron
you make a game
its popular and shit
do you keep it to pc only for no fucking reason or press a button and port it to console and earn at least 20 thousand dollars more?
this here is the fucking reason pc has no exclusives, because devs port them for more money where console only devs cant do the same thing in many cases (bloodborne, yakuza, persona)

> PS2,WII,PS1,PSP,DS,GBA,SNES and NES's entire libraries because they are the only games worth playing on PC

idiot, this right here is your problem. of course everything you emulate won't run as smooth as it's original platform, pc gaming isn't about emulating antics

you specifically had no reason to buy a gayming pc. it doesn't change the main argument pc gamers have that consoles are trash and holding the industry back. claims that are 100% true

UGH NO IT'S NOT WEEB! SEE! /VIDEO GAMES! IT'S NOT ANIME!
IN MY TWO YEARS OF 4CHANNER EXPERIENCE THERES NO ANIME NO FUCK YOU NOOO

>That's assuming it's wrong to actually have some standards

My standards involve not depriving myself of really good fucking games because I brainwashed myself into not being able to enjoy anything below 30fps and only supporting steam and PC. You can have standards all you want all they really are childish and stupid ideas you've fed yourself to feel superior to others

Enjoyment of Vidiya >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>being a salty PC cuck with standards who tries to reduce others enjoyment of vidiya

what game am i looking at sempai

this desu

if anything, PC gaming is going through a fucking revival right now. There are fucking slews of games coming out in every genre, and most of them are pretty damn fun. I don't know where people get the idea that it's going down the shitter

Sweatie, i think you got lost. The anime club is by this way

> calling people peasants
> while torrenting games
> playing modded/bootlegs of games from 2007
> forever trying to polish old games in an effort to seem relevant
> forever emulating old console ip's then crying when people get to play new ones while you miss out
> literally begging like peasants for consoles ports and developer support
> $2000 PC hardware only to play games like Watch Dogs then get blown the fuck out by games with real artstyles that looks fantastic running on much lower end hardware

Cry harder OP. PC gaming is a fucking meme.

>My standards involve not depriving myself of really good fucking games because I brainwashed myself into not being able to enjoy anything below 30fps and only supporting steam and PC
More like you've been brainwashed to accept lower gaming standards because you enjoy seeing the industry stagnate and not evolve with technology. And you call me the cuck and salty one. Hah, there's literally no need for me to get pissed. I get to play the same vidya as you, but at twice the fucking framerate, so the only one who has any reason at all to be salty here is you.

Also, P"Cuck" is a fucking shitty forced meme. Stop using it or go back to NeoGAF.

Feels good to be a part of the master race

youtube.com/watch?v=-z9xepZTQWA&t

lets laugh.

...

PC gaming is:

Dota 2
LoL
CSGO
Blizz games
Open world Role playing games

With that in mind, PC gaming is still going strong.

Gimmicky AAA hardware selling titles don't count.

could be the space invaders and pack man of the 2010s. those "gamers" are going to want something deeper and will be a bigger market than movies and television combined. the free market might actual work

...

Hah. And they call us P"Cucks"... Using the face WE created to shit on them with, too.

>PC gaming
>Console ports
>Of games that were originally PC games
>Deus Ex creator himself labels PC an afterthought to developers

I love it. PC had a niche and an excellent pool of developers and PC-only genres and games and it was killed because faggots wanted to turn it into a console on PC hardware and only play AAA multiplatform games.

It's sad but fuck modern PC users and their shitty taste in games that killed the platform. They made their bed and now they have to lie in it, morons. /r/pcmasterrace-types fucked true PC gaming and turned it into a clown platform.

>I get to play the same vidya as you
Yeah......no you don't, also call me brainwashed all you want, I'm the one who enjoys vidiya while you get ass destroyed when a game drops a frame as if that's normal behaviour.

>The worst part about Valve monopoly is that they don't make HL3

>BB is overrated as fuck

t. mustard who's never played BB
