It's because the PC is a dead gaming platform for a dying industry.

The future is indie games on console!

I visited YCS. It's where that old joke comes from- you'd take console sales vs. PC sales of the same game at face value, and add some good ol' trolling.

It's the gamer equivalent of saying SA is a dead, unfunny humor website with a dying forum. It's just teasing.

You'd probably love R6 Siege.

But yeah, there's way too many shooters on PC at this point with active communities and new stuff coming down the pike all the time. Rising Storm 2 just came out and I want it but also know I'll never play it.

Confession: I can't stop watching CS:GO on Twitch. I've been following the pro leagues for a year and a half at least.

I would never want to play the game because I hate pretty much everything about it, but I find the commentary and the camera work oddly compelling.

As for R6:S, I've only seen Versus and Etedor play it. I'm not certain the game even has a pro presence, much as Ubi would like the exposure.

There is actually a pro league, but you'll never get a shooter to be on the same level as CS:GO's at this point. There's actually a NA team tournament going on right now. It's difficult to follow the games if you don't know the characters and abilities, but jesus, there's nothing like it on the market today.

The building deformation is incredible, but gently caress those little roller drones. And making them able to jump is complete bullshit.

Yesterday in BO3 I had a lobby of corner campers and melee weapon users. I had one lunge through my bullets one kill off my HATR. :negative:

That's the ONE thing I'll give IW over BO3. Melee weapons are rare enough that you won't encounter a whole lobby of them.

Witcher 3 Complete is currently $25 on PSN, which is not a lot of money for a very good 100-125 hours of video game. Horizon is also $40 on Amazon right now.

Lemme tell ya about an operator named Twitch who I believe replaces her drone's jumping mechanism with a literal taser.

But uh yeah, drones are like actually needed for extra calling out capabilities.

I understand that, but three or four every round? That's a bit much.
And having them jump is the most contrived, ham-handed, video gamey bullshit solution to level design issues.

Chances are, the defenders are gonna blast the drones to bits before you can hide them. Plus fanning out et cetera.

It's a ubisoft game, so that's the only platform worth playing it on, because their implementation of right stick acceleration is catastrophic molten dogshit swine flu bad, and has been for every game they've made for the last seventeen years.

Are you literally incapable of telling the difference between linear acceleration and exponential acceleration? Framerate is independent of how fast a camera starts to actually move.

Those were some fun rear end games tonight. The epic care package is dumb as heck so I'll just stick to UAV - Vulture - Warden. Winning that super sweaty lobby to end the night as good. Double good was the final kill cam being a spider mine.

That said, I'm kinda torn as to what gun to play with now. I'm kinda jumping between the trencher, vpr and x-eon with the bomber and UDM seeing some action every now and then.

You should. The party still breaks every now and then and every now but we've had some real good fun these past few nights playing this good rear end game. Javes and Aaron endlessly making GBS threads out Advanced UAVs is always good. Also the summer event should be starting out soon so you gotta get those daily freebies. Just try not to exploit any of them this time around!
