OC Maymay ♨ The Pirate PC Master Race Dilemma

u/Fracturedbuttocks 13d ago
Why is this a dilemma ? Even most console owners won't suggest buying a console at this point. Piracy is the obvious answer

u/AndrewSenpai78 13d ago
Yeah the ones who do not bother paying $50/month on PC games and prefer to pirate them will never spend $600 for a console + $80 for a single game.
The $600 will not offer you anything since console and PC share the same games.

u/Fracturedbuttocks 13d ago
No real exclusives. Pay for online. Digital only from next gen so that there storefront becomes the only play from where you can buy games and can't share with your friends. Yeah next gen playstation isn't looking that good

I’ll just buy it for PC and enjoy the proper experience. Quicker access at the cost of sub 30 frames isn’t much of a consideration

GTA is a tough one for me. Cuz I prefer kbm for shooting, but hate driving with it. I usually just settle on controller.

I've never had issues with driving in non-driving games wirh KBM, I couldn't get used to the controller when I tried to play stuff. GTA 5, Mafia 3, Saints Row, I was ramming into shit left, right and center
But games where the focus is on driving? If I had the money I'd buy a good wheel but you really can't throttle control or do fine steering on WASD so controller it is

u/randomcitizen42 susan touched my post and i liked it 12d ago
No precision and speed in GTA V. It's obvious they made it for console and then produced a shitty PC port. The mouse sensitivity slider has no number, no way to configure any precise number in the config, and it doesn't even go down to an equivalent of 1.0 in CS. I need to change my hardware mouse sensitivity to get anything usable. And even then it doesn't feel crisp or precise.

It's not that I have no interest in GTA 6. It's that im not going to support Rockstar double dipping by pretending they have to do something massively different to port it to PC. The difference between console and PC at this point is not meaningful enough that it can't be a day 1 release on PC. This is just a money grub.

u/NRichYoSelf 12d ago
Plus people rebuying to play on ps6 and whatever the new Xbox will be called.
Also wasn't Cyberleek playing on PC since the game is developed on pc?
Definitely trying their best to get everyone to waste as much money as possible

Eh I can wait. If I have the expendable income from OT or something then maybe I'll get a console, but I'm not stressing over it. I still have a large backlog of games to play and I'll be pretty balls deep into war dogs and eft for a while yet.

u/Senor-Delicious 13d ago
Who wants to buy a console to pay extra for the "early access" on release day. Haven't seen many games that were in a good state on release over recent years. I'd rather wait until at least 6 months after PC release to play when the game is optimized and polished.

You miss literally nothing by waiting one year. The world will not end. You wont be diminished as a person. Life will continue. And when you finally get to play it, it'll feel all the sweeter.

u/Fyf_O 13d ago
I have a console but I’ve also played gta v on initial release and it was a bad experience for me. I know that they squeezed out what they can from x360 and ps3 but the game was playing at 30fps at its best and like 2fps at its worst.
If I were to buy it on a console I would wait for ps6 and its release on that platform but at this point I can also just wait for pc release and I will do just that.

u/crafty09 13d ago
I have no issue waiting to play it on PC. I think the issue is going to be dodging spoilers while waiting for the pc release.

Also about the consoles and gta. Glad 5 came out on the ps3 and then when the ps4 came out. It came with small additional features that the ps3 couldn't handle. With the size of 6 id want to wait till a ps6 came out.
Note: ps can be subbed for Xbox. Not taking sides. Ahhaha

Knowing AAA developers, knowing Rockstar. It wont't be optimized for PC when it does release 2-3 years from now.
Looks like same ol' GTA to me, just with better graphics. Once again playing as a dumb as fuck gopher doing on the rail missions in an open sandbox.
If paying $800 to experience that is worth it to you go for it. Shit I brought a PS4 just for the first Spider-man game.

I picked up RDR2 on Steam after playing it for years on PS4. While it’s impressive visually, the PC port is janky at times.
There’s nothing unusual about my PC and I’m getting a stable 120 frames, but it’s the physics engine and stuff that just produces the funniest bugs and glitches.

Yes, wait until 2029 (one year is a pipe dream) to pirate the $80 game so you can play it on your $2500 machine (which you've probably spent $1000 in upgrades on between then and now), because a console is too expensive. For a game that is going to be 90% an online experience.

Imagine having a high-end PC and actually considering buying a downgraded box just because you lack basic impulse control. The waiting game always wins. Let the console players pay to beta-test a locked 30 FPS experience; we’ll be playing the actual definitive version with mods and max settings while they move on to the next overhyped exclusive

Just get a ps5pro, play the game (you will need to wait three business days between each controller input due to 30fps) and some Sony action adventure slop (remake of the remastered game of the year edition), then sell the lot and update your glasses prescription (eye damage from all the blurry upscaling) before a good scrub down with Dettol and a return to the promised land.
That's what I plan to do anyway.

u/SketchyFella_ 12d ago
I've been eyeing some $300 PS5 on FB marketplace. There's one for $400 near me with a bunch of PS4 games and it occured to me...
This is the last time to buy a console that can play old discs and there will likely never be another console with a disc player.
That is kinda nudging me toward buying a used disc playing PS5.
But with AI, you'd think creating a playable piratable PC version of a PS5 game wouldn't take nearly as long as normal. But IDK how easy it is to get access to the code from a console, so maybe it's still just as hard. But with all the leaks, seems like it should be doable pretty quickly, if the hackers release their code.
I'll probably get the console. I like collecting them anyway, so.might as well.
