Def agree on PC gaming.  Consoles are just too restricting, especially when it comes to the Xbox.

I'm interested in seeing how the Steam Box will play out, and if it'll just be a glorified computer running Steam in Big Picture mode.  That'd be OK with me.

Agreed. I have been following Steam box and hoping it will shine now that Xbox has revealed this dreadful news.

Steambox seems like a machine that could bring many console gamers to the PC.

I think i'll think pass on this xbox.
I said this for most of this generation of consoles. I enjoy PC gaming much much more.

Well I like it as well, the problem is I am missing out on adventure games like uncharted and heavy rain. I was happy that mass effect came to PC though.

Hopefully, developers will tell Microsoft where to go and revert to PC, unlikely but we can wish can't we?

lol, sadly this is never going to happen. If it did, they'd move from DirectX and on to OpenGL for cross-platform games. Sadly Microsoft still has the monopoly and for the foreseeable future still will.

Oh, it definitely is. And it's the only reason I still use Windows over Ubuntu: gaming. There was one group that was trying to create a DX implementation for Linux but there have been no updates since 2011. Guessing it fell apart.

We NEED something better than WINE.

Yeah, that's the main thing why I use Windows too. I'm a hardcore PC gamer and Linux or OS X isn't really an option.

Forget WINE its a waste of time. Same goes for that xbox 1 spying apparatus. Why would you want to pay a lot of money so that someone can eavesdrop 24/7 in your living room or bedroom.

This just in:

Current-gen and next-gen consoles ARE PCs with most functionality stripped out by difficult-to-disable software. Tired of corporate proprietary shit trying to fuck me in the ass. These corporate fucks... Windows 8 RT. Release a phone with Windows on it, and you'd expect to at least have the primary reason anyone fucks with Windows - the enormous collection of software released for it. Nope. The RT stands for ReTarded, and it only runs ReTarded software. At that point, I'd rather have Palm OS.

Go away, one-time-use proprietary hardware architecture. I will never touch you, and will look at you only a decade in the future when you're emulated (no, not emulated with infuriating DRM restrictions on the "Xbox Two," asshole). I don't want your "smart" phones, your creepy spy consoles, or your goofy fruit logos. You utterly disregard past contributions, and promise to support current contributions' existence only until the end of your few-year lifecycle, or try to double-charge us for old contributions we bought way back when the dev company existed. I hate you, and we will never reconcile.  Angry

Pretty much nailed it here. I just finished catching up on the Sony conference from yesterday and I'm already vastly more impressed by comparison.

It seems I'm moving back to the Sony camp if I end up getting a console this year.

Besides all the other stuff I can't believe PS4 is actually going to be 100 bucks cheaper. I really would not have predicted that.

An in-depth guide on sharing used games on the PS4

I dunno, I'm siding with Sony on this one.

This is why I said we need a WINE alternative, :p.

As for the Kinect, I couldn't agree more. When I heard that it's built-in *and* that you have to be online to play your single-player games, that set me away from the Xbox One completely. I can't believe people would buy it after that.

Yep just like that, not some crazy personalised once only use. The always one feature maybe was on the wish list from the NSA and the had to include it. Sure there is enough kids who upsolute must have this "do all" machine and parents haven't got a clue what the carry into the house to please the little fellow (and big brother at the same time).
So is it still save to visit a mate who's got the modern Stasi apparatus standing in his Flat?

I like pc gaming too but local multiplayer is important to me and that's pretty much nonexistent in pc gaming.

Uhh...what?

In my mind I believe you're referring to something along the lines of "split screening" for multiplayer / coop ...otherwise, LAN party anyone?

People still have LAN parties? :p.

And I think he means like... on a console (split screen, as you said) you can have 4 people playing one copy of a game. On PC you need 4 copies.

He's right, game developers have been quietly eliminating LAN gaming for years now, Blizzard got rid of it in Starcraft 2 if I recall correctly and only put it in after a lot of demands from their customers, how these people get away with such shit and still make millions is beyond me.

Really? I didn't know that. That's surprising that they wouldn't add it. Probably some corporate activision prick had that idea.
