This I love playing BB on my 1337 RIG, I mean the definitive version running in 4K@144FPS.
Also NIER:Automata. I especially like how PC got the sweet release version only deal while the dirty console peasants had to update like 8 times.\
PCMR for the WIN!

Your question and attitude is equivalent to a dog who bites his caring owner.

Without consoles the gaming industry would instantly die due to a multitude of reasons. PC gaming is only acceptable in its curresnt sad state because it still gets console ports (like Witcher2/3, Doom(2016), Deus Ex:HR, Wolfenstein2, Nier:Automata, etc) and manages to run them better. In and of itself PC game is trash and completely died around 2004.
The industry without consoles would turn into the lowest possible effort to maximize profits, so it would become.. well... PC gaming as is. A bunch of EarlyAccess/Kickstarter scams, F2P shit, and online games with markets/microtransactions (CS:GO, Overwatch, Dota2, etc), as well as facebook games and online casino games.
There would no longer be any AA or AAA single player games, only indie shit at best. Pretty much every publisher would die, so would every AAA studio and all but the smallest AA studios, most of the best developers in the world would quit gaming and follow other passions.

Be careful what you wish for. Like I said in the beggining, you are but a small dog (PC) with a superiority complex. You bark at your owner (consoles) because he gives you food (multiplats) for free, you think he's your slave and pretty useless. You're so much better than him after all, why do you even need him in the first place? Why not just get rid of his ugly face and get your own food? I mean, as far as you know the food just appears magically on a bowl every day, you don't need your stupid human to make that happen.

PS4 has enough games that I can't play on my PC. I bought a Switch at launch, beat Zelda in a week and haven't touched it since.

I have an xboner but since I bought a longer HDMI cable and plug my PC directly into my TV I no longer use my Xbox for Netflix or Plex. I'm considering just getting rid of it. I haven't played a game on it that doesn't start with Halo. Fuck that thing and fuck Microsoft for caving to the backlash when they announced it wouldn't use physical media anymore. A true all-digital console would really be next-gen but instead we got a rehash of the 360 which was a rehash of the Xbox 1. At least Nintendo try new things even though it doesn't always work out.

I'm waiting for Black Friday to come round then I'm going to buy a 1440p 144Hz monitor, a 4k TV and a 1080ti to power it all. Can't wait.

Exclusives.
Call it anti consumer or whatever you want, and yeah some of them criticisms about exclusive are valid sure, but the point of them all existing are really only exclusive games to each platform.

3rd party games, while carrying and having a surprise amount of power over at least xbox1 and ps4, dont really matter since due to the surprisingly large amount of power they hold over those 2 console manufacturers making it so that more often than the console one gets dont really matte.

Except for Nintendo which at least for the while has been a tad left out. But that again circles back to exclusives being the main and actual appeal of them consoles.

The biggest game on the xbone is a port of pc early access game. It would also be the biggest game on the ps4 if it got ported

I know. The PC market (this inclusdes its consumers) is such a malignant tumor at this point that EarlyAccess FOTM shit are its biggest games. RUST also sold 5m or something sad like that. I'm sure ARK, H1Z1 and all the other clones sold millions upon millions each.

I'm not sure what your point is here. This is a horrible thing. Instead of a new RedAlert or Settlers or Half Life game being made and selling millions, PC gamers nowadays just get shit like Dota2 or PUBG. Are you in some way implying this is good? I don't think you can possibly be THAT retarded so I'll give you a chance to elaborate before laughing at your face.

>>388310474
Console gamers eat shit like Uncharted and Horizon: Zero Dawn so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

>>388310280
Why do Chiwawas bark at Rottweilers?
Naive PC gamers have an unwarranted superiority complex, that's all there is to it. If everyone was an idort the world would be a better place, but we can't expect 12yo's who just moved out of Minecraft into PUBG to be able to afford all systems.

>>388310590
I don't care about those games at all either. But they are AAA single player games with a lot of effort put into them, something that simply doesn't exist on PC anymore (and hasn't for over a decade now).
If PC was somehow a platform holder like Nintendo or Sony and had to compete you can be assured HalfLife3 would've been made years ago already (instead of simply vanishign because the market is not big enough and there's no need to make a huge effort game when you can just make low effort shit or continue to profit from Steam alone). And that 95% of all PC exclusive franchises from the 90's and early 2000's would not be dead by now.

I'm not even sure why you went for console exclusives. You can simply look at multiplats, which wouldn't exist if not for consoles. Forget about Sony cinematic shit, you only need to look at Witcher 2 and 3, if there weren't consoles those games wouldn't have been so. Just like literally every single multiplat on PC.

FPS, the multiplayer kind people play compulsively. Labradors eat like they're always on the brink of starvation and are twitchy as shit. Good dogs though.

There is no point.
Objectively the only good thing to come out of this console gen is the xbone controller.
Everything else is half baked to downright shit.
