If the PC is better than a consoles then...
 
then why there is no PC2?

Checkmate, PC phaggots.

The PC Master Race obviously just doesn't feel the need to attach bigger numbers to the end of its models to compensate for something.

Stephen 05-25-2013 03:14 AM

3.1, 95, 98, xp, 7, 8

Circe 05-25-2013 03:48 AM

I like how Windows ME and Vista was left out.
And rightfully so.

I like how Playstation Vista was left out.

And the only one that anybody ever actually uses is Ubuntu.

Stephen 05-25-2013 02:54 PM

How many games have been published for Linux?

LoathsomePete 05-25-2013 03:00 PM

Gaming on Linux is slowly becoming less of a problem, Steam is now available for Ubuntu and it has been added to the repositories of many of the other popular distributions. Not only that but with the explosion of indie gaming in the last 5 years, a lot of games were also released for Linux. If it's not released for Linux, it is still possible to play using Wine.

Not a very inspiring slogan up against consoles.

Linux gaming - Slowly becoming less of a problem.

And of course Nintendo encourage open-source development with the Wii. Oh no wait they don't.

Also: Free60

Nor the fact that you have to consume alcohol in order to be able to play some of the games....? :laughing:

Well if you're using a Linux distribution then you're probably not going to be using it for gaming, and you'd be an idiot to use it as your primary OS for that purpose. I think GB posted that chart of the evolution of the Linux kernel and all the little distributions as an example against the kind of dumb statement that started this thread.

I think he was making a joke about Wine. Using Wine to play games originally made for Windows OS.

It was a good point apart from the fact that most decent games don't attempt to stray from the Windows platform. One of the frustrating things about Macs too.

Circe 05-26-2013 07:04 AM

Looking at the list of Linux games on Steam now there's actually quite a respectable number of fairly big PC titles available. TF2, Killing Floor, Crusader Kings 2, FTL, Surgeon Simulator... There's no big name publisher support apart from traditionally PC-loving companies like Valve and Paradox but it's a decent enough variety. I'd try it out to see what the ports are actually like but I'm such a noob at Ubuntu that I'd probably never be able to figure out how to get Steam working on it, let alone installing and playing anything.

LoathsomePete 05-26-2013 10:44 AM

If you've ever used iTunes you can use the Ubuntu Software Center, although it's much more fun to get programs through the terminal.

Mint, actually. Ubuntu is bigger technically, but Mint is now seen as "Ubuntu, without the bloat", whereas Ubuntu is "Linux for people with absolutely minimal demands and a need to be handholded"

As for linux gaming - not my point.


As for consoles vs PC being an entirely gaming based argument - Have you guys not noticed that all the new console announcements were all-but-devoid of actual games, and super heavy on TV/Netflix etc?

Wow i cant believe this thread is going on 4 pages.
