What’s the point of owning a PC

[MikeLowrrrey]

-Top tier graphics with no compromise
-Mods

As for games, well Sony is starting to release games on the PC.


Only downside is you need about $5000, but you should be good for 5 years or so.

[MikeLowrrrey]

Lmao strong copium. Most PCs can't do this with modern games, esp with high settings





If I buy a PS5, then a PS6 in 7 years, I spent $1000

For a PC, you would $1500 to get something similar to the PS5. Parts age out faster as well, PC ports get demanding much faster than console ports. They optimize a console port for the current console yet optimize PC ports for the highest spec PC which changes yearly.

But you have the option to make it 4k 60fps with ray tracing. With a console you're stuck for the next 7 years. And you'd better hope they develop for the most powerful system and not the lowest.

Can't do this with an Xbox

Bruh the framerate on that setup is terrible, like 20fps on that shooting game

Cool project but those bezels are an absolute travesty

[GooBaaa]

My Xbox was free, a good PC is like $2500. I’d rather buy a dirt bike to rip around on the farm

I'm sure you could do it much nicer and get more than his 9 million views.

I think it's great, I just don't understand why he made the bezels like that.

It looks great as a window displaying backgrounds, but for gaming... Portrait mode screens with a gigantic bezel... That's just bad.

Because my life doesn't revolve around video games I use PC for a lot of other things. And because I'm not poor I keep it fairly current for when I do play games. I feel like these kinds of questions shouldn't be rocket science but here we are.

[Coal Man]

Meh, all just total stretching of the imagination for arguments sake.

Not sure what you go thru to play a game on your pc, but for me it's about exactly the same as my console... Turn it on and click what I want to play. And then I play. Extra navigation? Moving my mouse?



As for optimization just lol. Games get patches. You've even admitted yourself on many occasions you wait for patched versions of games anyways. No one is safe on launch day anymore, doesn't matter what platform you play on.

idk what kind of twisted world you live in but to me being able to fine tune game settings to optimize my experience is never a bad thing lmao, what kind of potato logic is that? Since when is more options a bad thing? If Sony launched a new game tomorrow with fully customizable graphic settings like a PC game, you'd be ranting about how their devs are the best.

You just use subjective stuff and not factual stuff like I expected. Maybe you can get away with the optimization thing because it is seemingly becoming more true, but the rest is just bullchit personal dislikes. No real argument here, pc is better in every way.

What do you mean for argument's sake? Do you think I don't believe in what I say and just want to fight with you? You're not that important man, I said things I believe.

To address your points:

1. Yes games get patches but modern console ports are generally more stable and have less issues than PC ones. Yes I wait for patches on console but that generally takes my game from running decent to running great. On PC that generally goes from running horribly to running decently. There's a difference. Devs simply care more about console ports as that's where the bulk of their sales go to.

2. I never said fine tuning games is a wholly bad thing. Not everyone has the time and interest to spend hours tweaking, applying mods, monitoring FPS and CPU temps to get it just right. It can be a complicated balancing act that might get even worse when there's an update that breaks your settings or mods. Many adults have a busy schedule and while freedom to tinker with settings can be a good thing, it also comes at a cost.

3. Here's the difference between us. I have the objectivity to admit that PC has some pros and cons, while consoles also have pros and cons. You're showing your infinitesimal pool of brain matter and personal bias in saying consoles have NO benefits. Do you expect anyone to take you seriously if you can't even cede some level of credibility to the millions of people who prefer consoles?

Itt: consolecels keep coping.

Modded gaming, M&K use, image/audio/video editing, web browsing, document editing.

my laptop does all that, and I can do that while laying in bed not hunched over a desk in a 'man cave'

A. OP said everything is on Xbox
B. Laptop is a type of PC
C. Laptops have their advantages and I don't fault people for using them. I just prefer doing that stuff on a large monitor with a mouse instead of a trackpad. Also if you do anything intensive on a laptop you're going to feel the heat if it's on your lap or even just right next to you.

Really feels like this should've been the start and end of the discussion, but misc gonna misc.

It's a type of PC which basically everyone has, at least in my country. A console provides all your media needs be it games or movies etc. A PC isn't going to pump out tons of heat? That's a pro in winter.

That's great about media needs. I own a console for games, I'm not disputing their usefulness. I need more than just games or watching movies though. For image/audio/video editing, web browsing, document editing, modded gaming, and games where I prefer M&K, I need a PC.

And desktops produce heat as well but cooling options are much better. My desktop is under my desk like 3 feet away from me and I never feel it unless I'm an hour in playing an intensive game. When I had a laptop it was always warm, and when I was gaming it was searing hot. That's definitely not a plus for me even in winter. I just like warmth of blankets and such though, I was never one to even stand near vents/heaters.
