"I'm having trouble getting this game running on my PC!" is still superior to "I can't play this game on consoles at all."
Come on bro.

I just did. Just opened it with Dosbox. There is a shareware version of the game on archive.org.

If you have kids, you can get a second TV for a bedroom for $300. I had two young kids and a wife in a 2bd 1000sqft house for many years with my gaming PC hooked up to a TV. It was no problem.
Shitty gaming laptops abound, because they're a cheap turn-key solution for boys. But that doesn't mean they're good. I've never met anyone who would rather play games on a gaming laptop screen than on a TV or big monitor. At least with the handheld PC form factor you can lay in bed or take it with you for travel. Gaming laptops suck for both of those. They're like the worst of both worlds.
As for non-gaming laptops, there are very few people who need the advantages a desktop PC can provide over a laptop. Most people also don't need a dedicated desk in their home, so laptops selling more than desktops is obvious. It's not because all those people are buying gaming laptops. Just look at the Steam Hardware Survey: Only two out of the top 20 GPUs are laptops, and they make up less than 5.5% of the market. There are more people playing on RTX 3060 cards specifically than there are people playing on gaming laptops.

Absolutely. I'm just shaking my head that we are going back in time drudging up difficulties with a game from 20 years ago.
Can we also talk about RROD and YLOD now as if those are current topics?

You realize it's the same both ways?

Youre right of course. If you have a problem on console - suck it up.

Sure but at this point don't you think it's getting a bit excessive when you need 2 consoles to play all the games you want to? If you want to play ps2 games and your ps3 is a slim... that adds up

I don't have a problem on console currently. But if I had, I would indeed suck it up I guess.
We are not talking about exclusives. I was answering to stupid 64bit post.
Then go do it. Without half of the shaders and with stuttering lol and mouse and keyboard wtf.
you are free to do so.
Buying the game and playing on a system back at the time?! Nah who would do that. let's pirate it and play badly 10 years later.

Fact of the matter is that any PC today will play more past console games than current consoles.
Seriously.....console gamers should avoid the backward compatibility argument at all costs. They lose every time.

Nah. Sub HD, 30fps, high input lag, potato controller gameplay not worth even if Sony paid me to play.

I don't.
It sounds like a lot of consoles but consoles are small. I can keep old consoles in a closet and only connect with 2 cables if I want to replay certain game.
I don't have to keep it all plugged in.
And realistically, most games I care about are ported to modern consoles and pc. like 90% of old catalogue.

Only rofif can twist retrocompatibility spanning back 30 years into somehow an incorrect and bad thing.

Was state of the art back then. If your mind can't back to that place, I can't help you with that.
When I connect 360 again(rarely), my mind mostly views the games as showcases they were upon release. I like playing them in original state.
These were some fantastic games. but you wouldn't know since you are a fake pc gamer.

It's not a bad thing. It's fine.
I just think it's overused argument which is underused in reality. Most games you care about are available today or ported.

Except that games like counterstrike, tf2 or l4d2 would not be active today if PC were like consoles and the slate got reset every 7 years.
An example I can think of besides those 3 is Richard burns rally. 2004 rally game modded from a mediocre simulator to PC rally perfection. You wouldnt be able to do that with a console model

Couldn't care less. I played these shitty games 15 years ago for 30minutes - 3 hours each. I don't need to play them again.
if you want to, you can continue doing so on pc

What, you guys never heard of Cubic Tic Tac Toe, on monochrome monitor? Check your life. It's 3 dimensions.
This thread went into turbo mode, since I last checked. I loaded up the quotes, so I'm not backing out now.
You never factored in the electricity, the housing cost, the cost of education to bring you to a level of understanding capable of controlling the game, your parent's costs of life up to this point because you can't be here without them, their parents, ad infinitum. Cmon guys, to be a console gamer is way more expensive. While us pc bros, were just born with it.

We need to start factoring in couches, desks and office chair costs.

What if that person never created Dosbox? Without external programs the game would be stuck on the 9x era. Nonwithstanding the Dosbox emulated games never run as good as the original machine, never sound as good, have weird clock cycle issues, and the commands to get Dosbox working or emulation are never quite 100%. Did I ever say I hate PC gaming? No. Infact, that era from 94-2005 was one of the most glorious eras of pc gaming ever. Games that almost never got ported to consoles, were a completely different style and hit something so utterly different.
But the PC gaming master race of today? Feh. 99% of those games are on console. There's nowhere near as much differentiation as there once was. The games that I loved that were plentiful back then are gone or streamlined for consoles. Now excuse me while I play on my Pentium 133 with MMX technology and 40mb of ram.

Strange take. This would be like someone saying it is no big deal that it takes extra work to make an old game like Half-Life work because they simply keep an entire Pentium II desktop computer set up for this purpose, thereby making this issue with modern PC moot completely.
