@believer258: I'm not saying PC aren't as powerful as consoles just that graphics aren't necessary for a good game.

The 360 version has local co-op, what's your point?

About graphics and power? What? Graphics may need power but power doesn't need graphics, you contradicted yourself with the minecraft example as that used voxel graphics.

Thought this would be at actual quality of the game... :/

@sooty: Well consoles are playable out of the box, some people struggle with anything techy so console is the better option for them. Myself, I PC-game cause of the larger back catalogue and indie games. AAA gaming is majority stagnant at this with the odd exception now and then.

@believer258: That's power not graphics. I agree that improvement of tech is important but it shouldn't be the be all and end all of game development. Indie games prove that creativity is more important than graphical power. Even though some games may have superior graphics, so what? In a few years they'll be obsolete again, gameplay is the immortal factor, the thing that can stay important forever.

@yinstarrunner: Youtube is limited to 30fps so how does the comparison work exactly? By popularity I mean on youtube videos generally comments say they don't notice the difference. Flimsy, true but it's hard to explain middling popularity. Rage uses 60fps and is mildly popular so your arguement is as flimsy as mine .

PC is the king of backwards compatibility and indies so use it!:

@baillie: This kind of thinking is how Microtransaction and f2p were invented in gaming.

@spudbug: People mostly don't see/care about the difference in frame rate. The thing is still goddamn playable, why do you think those games still sell better on consoles?

@mcghee: Just saying, don't act like all 8-year olds who play GTA automatically want to kill everyone...(Vice city was seriously common among 8-year olds around and none of them became psychopaths). Plus, we have gun control here so not really possible to blow your granny's brains out.
