Why is pc gaming so good? Anonymous 03/21/2016 (Mon) 05:58:03 [Preview] No. 473
let's start.

>Emulators

http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page

emulate anything from the nes too the wii u. the PlayStation 1 to PlayStation 3 (Rpcs3) and the xbox (xqemu) to 360 (xenia) also hsndhelds from the psp to the ds to the 3ds (citra) and they will all only get better. rpcs3, xenia, citra and cemu is getting better and more improved everyday.

the wiki will tell you everything you need and emucr.com will give you the latest builds of your desired emulator as they come out. let's be clear here, you will be able too play EVERY SINGLE GAME on your pc in just a few years hell I heard the rpcs3 devs are also going to tackle vita emulation once they get rpcs3 in a presentable state (which is quickly getting to that point if you say up with the newest builds and look for recent videos here on youtube for people testing them)

frankly I am appalled that you put up a fake 360 emulator here, next time you should do more research.

>mods

mods can make a game that had a poor port into a okay port (if a game has a 30fps lock, people can sometimes bring it up to 60, texture mods, etc.)

>native backwards compatibility

all the way from windows 10 to dos, if you're willing to do enough research, you can run almost any old pc game on your windows based pc.

>more ports of console games

as pc gaming grows, more and more developers that never made a game or ported anything to pc are porting games too pc (if some are shit, you always have a possibility too mod it unless you ABSOLUTLEY cannot.

>fangames, indies, old flash games, independent games

pretty self explanatory. there is also a way that you can turn browser based flash games into an .exe file for use offline and not have to be confined to a browser and a way to make them fullscreen

>joy2key and xpadder

wanna play a game that doesn't use a joypad but you really wanna use a joypad? bam, you can

>cracks

if a game has drm, someone will eventually make a crack and you can play that game without the drm if you apply the patch. you won't be able too play multiplayer online games online but if you only care about singleplayer content, you should be fine with that. cracks exist for: steam, uplay, origin, game for windows live, securom, vsrious other old forms of drm and denuvo

>image mounting software

if you can't play a old game that demands a cd and you can't put the cd into your computer, you can mount it virtually.

>multiple stores you can buy modern games from

steam, gog,, etc. if you wanna support developers

>piracy

I'm listing this because people can pirate for many different reasons. you can pirate everything, you can choose what you wanna pirate and buy, which devs to support and not, if you're poor but you'll buy it once you get money yada yada. point is that YOU can chose what your money goes to. and it's not really stealing, it's file sharing. keyword: SHARING meaning someone had to originally buy it.

>actual 1080p and 4k

Self explanatory

>actual 60fps and beyond

Self explanatory

>multiple screens

you can have 2,3 or more screens on your pc. some games even support more than one screen. wanna have fun? download desmume (ds emulator) and mess with it do you can play the bottom screen on your second screen and the top on your first. better yet, get 1 touchscreen monitor and use that for the bottom screen. it's tricky but you can do that. hopefully citra ends up supporting that nativley when it gets more developed (doubt it)

>use pretty much any controller you want

adapters for retro controller, programs to make controllers with a usb disguised as a xbox 360 device (scp server for the dualshock 3)

>frontends

you can make a pretty decent media hub using luanchbox, big box and kodi

>SSD

load games faster

>you can build a pc or buy one premade

if you're too stupid to make one, you can buy one easily.
