Yeah, I'd also be pandering to the section of the community that manages to make my awful games playable if I were them.

They are obviously right about the console peasants but it was still overplayed.

They should be worrying about releasing finished games (seriously, how many glitches did Skyrim have?).

Too bad there isn't much variety in the pc's catalog. Nothing but indie games and strategy and half finished triple a titles.

It's all a marketing strategy to glorify the RICH PC catalog and bring more sheeps to the herd with sales. Taken out Steam, I don't see how much the PC offers more than consoles.

The console library outranks the PC library though, definitely.
I mean what does the PC have besides a few shooters? Indie games? Indie? You mean platformers where the main protagonist is a child and the graphics of the game is similar to that of a child's imitation of Van Gogh? Yes. Yes it is.

Such much hate for the PC :(
Console's wouldn't be where they are without the PC.
For those people who are creatively inclined, the PC offers (or... offered?) modding mania. Why shoot generic terrorist face 10 in hi-def on console when you can blow up evil Barney 1 while rocket jumping to some heavy metal on 90's PC?

If they hadn't made Oblivion and Skyrim I may have taken him seriously.

I remember Microsoft did a test on BF3 console players vs PC players. They took top BF3 players and matched them against average PC players. Result was utter chaos for console players. They couldn't match up against PC players.

If I can find the link I'll cite it.

Bethesda confirmed for being unprofessional. There's no good reason for some people (such as myself) for prioritizing PC above all else. Most Japanese games don't make it to PC (legally). And the PC lacks action/adventure games and 3D platformers and collectathons.

He had some points, but since I am far from a PC tech, I prefer game consoles.

Well it sued to be because of mods but depressingly enough mods are becoming a dying breed.

That and graphically soon to be outdated looking games will look better on pc than consoles. I think the only real advantage pc has is shooters are way more fun with mouse and keyboard(well first person shooters, 3rd person shooters feel terrible as well as most other genres of games). You can plug in a controller which is cool but i tend to find myself just getting them on my consoles and then get most my shooters on pc.

All open world games tend to have many bugs. At least they make patches to fix them.

Depends on what said person means by outrank. And it also depends on someone's taste in games.

Let's use Metacritic's "Highest rated games of all time" list:
http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/all

A shit ton of "greatest games ever" are console games.

But besides that, it really depends on people's taste. Where are the following series on the PC?:
The Legend of Zelda, Sly Cooper, Ape Escape, Mario, Star Fox, Pokemon, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Tales, Persona, Devil Summoner, mainline Shin Megami Tensei, Valkyria Chronicles, Little Tail Bronx, Fire Emblem, Jak and Daxter, Xeno series, games in the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus/The Last Guardian series, Mega Man, and Donkey Kong series? And those are series so that means multiple games, not just one. Where are they on the PC? Even Final Fantasy games to some degree are only just starting to be more put on the PC.

Forget finished games, even though it was terribly broken the modding community made Skyrim into a masterpiece.

What ticks me off more is the stupid limitations of the software itself. Skyrim only utilizes 4GB max? The hell is up with that?!

Metal Gear Solid/MGS2 and MGR are on PC, lmao. Also, you can just emulate a huge amount of that stuff, and have it look far superior to console versions when it comes to PS2/Gamecube/Wii. I'm not trying to shit on consoles, just saying you should do more research. If we want to talk about console stuff that is literally unplayable on PC in any way, let's talk about all the good original Xbox games.

Oh wow. I had no idea that MGS and MGS2 were on PC. Man, I'm surprised. I do do some research, but I hadn't realized.
As for emulation....Honestly I was already aware of the ability to download ROMs and emulate them and/or emulate games off of a disc on the PC. I just disregarded it due to legality and/or the fact that developers aren't making cash off of their consoles by emulating.

Outside of digital downloads, developers aren't making money from the sales of most of these games anyway. My purchasing of Jet Set Radio Future from someone on ebay doesn't fund SEGA, nor does the purchasing of games that have already been shipped and are effectively out of print (Valkryia Chronicles, for example). I can understand not considering emulation due to the legality of it, but it doesn't bother me. If I want to play Front Mission 5, you can bet that I'm going to emulate and patch it with a fan translation, rather than buy an NTSC-J PS2 and a physical copy of the game, which I'd then have to go to the trouble of patching, etc. anyway.

Also, I wouldn't be using Metacritic as a metric for looking at "great" games. Many of the older, great PC games simply aren't listed or don't have critic scores (DOOM, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, etc.) yet manage to have higher user scores than overhyped console releases that have become common in the last decade. Game reviewers are corrupt.

I don't see what cons a PC has since you can make it do anything a console can.

That said, I still owe a part of my childhood to consoles so I don't dislike them or anything.
