[@Bysentenial]

You had me a bit worried here at the end with all the 'sun' talk.

[@terrenman11]

In the end, PC gaming is cheaper. We don't buy games for 60$ from gamestop, we just pay 37 on steam or just wait for a sale and get a clusterfuck of people buying the game.

[@MrIrocknusuck]

terrenman11 Landlubber...

[@lonewanderer7926]

terrenman11 Cheaper? Hardly. You forgot to mention with PC gaming you have to upgrade the PC every 2 years or so or your tech falls behind. You need to upgrade your RAM, your GPUs, your processors, your OS, make sure you've got decent virus protection, etc etc etc, all of which can end up costing over $2000, where as with a console you just buy the console and that's it. $60 per game is a small price to pay over having to constantly pay for PC upgrades.

[@terrenman11]

Max Power well, let's try something else then... *clears throat* Ahem... YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE! *quitely* you are a pirate... but seriously, in the end it is cheaper because you don't need an exspensive pc to play newer games and nobody has to pay subscription fees for paying online, but with xbox you pay extra for your internet practically. Also, PC games don't have to deal with Game Stop's shit. (I'm not saying that pc is the best, I'm just saying that I prefer pcs over console) one reason is because pcs are fully customizable, hardware and software.

[@mascrath]

Max Power You actually don't have to upgrade every 2 years to play current games, a decent build with quality parts will last somewhere in the realm of 4 to 5 years if you throw a $300 GPU upgrade in around year 4 it will last longer than the consoles projected lifespan. PC with better specs than PS4(450) + GPU upgrade(300) + 2 new games a year(60-80) for 5 years would cost $1050. PS4(400) + PS+(50 per year) + 2 new games a year(120) for 5 years would cost $1130. RAM and CPU don't need to be upgraded much in a gaming computer they both last longer than a GPU. I've had windows 7 since it came out and i have no plans of getting a new OS anytime soon. I have great virus protection and it was free(avast.) So yes a PC can be cheaper than PS4 or XBONE not to mention the graphics are better, full backwards compatibility, tons of F2P games, bundles and huge sales all the time(I've gotten 76 games on steam in the last 7 months a lot of them recent games i spent a total of 250 for them all)

[@nokturnallex2160]

Exclusives... aka which individual games consoles have taken hostage... Bloody Brilliant, sums it up perfectly.

[@MaelRadec42]

Exclusive: Which console has bribed a game to come into its car to sooner or later take hostage and call everyone in an attempt to start a "fundraiser" to release them but instead gives out replica clones of the game and not telling anyone that they are FAKE!

Why do people call PC gaming expensive? You can get a GTX660 for like 50 bucks on ebay right now. You could make that with the amount you save by buying the PC version of a game. Cheapest used PS4 on there is like $305 for comparison (including shipping).

[@Arnox45]

+stonium You're comparing the price of a single piece of hardware out of many that can fail, will frequently develop bugs and stop working properly due to faulty driver releases on certain games, against an entire console that won't just stop working from an update and will always work

[@stonium69]

Arnox45 Honestly with my current setup I have yet to play any modern game which broke for any reason. Just six months ago, on the other hand, the 2.50 PS4 update bricked the system. Sure older games may require some setting tweaking but at least I have backwards compatibility. Also, I brought up the GPU because it is considered by console fanboys to be the part that makes PC gaming more expensive than a car. You can easily find these kinds of prices on used CPUs and everything else is maybe a hundred bucks new.

[@Arnox45]

+Romeo you'd say that regardless of what I say.

[@Arnox45]

***** The main point still stands, people tend to compare the price of a graphics card against the price of a a whole console. Anyone who doesn't take into account things like network cards and sound cards you can tell is probably about 13 years old and only plays video games

[@Arnox45]

I'm not some teenage gamer who spends their life wanking over new graphics cards and PC parts. I know the parts of a PC and what you need to make one work. Just because you CAN get motherboards with other components installed does not mean that everyone does buy them. Besides that's a moot point because all you've done is lumped in parts that no PC gamer ever mentions with another part that they don't mention. I've never seen anyone compare the price of every single part of a PC against a console. You still also have no argument against my main point which is that he was comparing the price of a graphics card against an entire home entertainment system and this is commonly something that PC shills do.

megakillerx So according to your math 2012 to 2013 is "2 FUCKING YEARS". While my math says 1 year. Also its not just "only been spewing out Mario and Zelda from left and right" theirs been Pikmin 3 and Game And Wario. Also E shop games like Nano Assault Neo and Animal Crossing Plaza.

[@HoodedLord]

I walked up those stairs, out of the grimy console basement towards the light, felt the clean fresh air, and walked down the stairs to the other grimy basement next door and traded in my console gaming lineage to become part of the Master PC Gaming Race. Oh and Bodalla Gaming is totally right about what he says.

[@MajorLargo]

Master Race? Have fun with your viruses, system requirements, and hacked servers that us "inferior" people don't have to worry about.

[@PowerShawn5000]

Major Largo STAHP. Just enjoy what you prefer before a full-on flamewar starts!

[@HoodedLord]

GAH!!! It was a joke, (minus the Bodalla comment part) it was just a joke. Console gaming has benefits that PC's don't have, such as an analogue stick for movement, and guaranteed compatibility with games; I still love console gaming I just hate the new generation of consoles.

[@MrJenssen]

Major Largo Hehe, some good points there! Except if you have half a mind, avoiding viruses isn't a problem. System requirements? Better to have the ability to upgrade your hardware to tackle slow-running games, than to be stuck with a system that cannot do so. Do NOT pretend that both the previous generation AND this new "next" generation aren't struggling with performance issues with many games. And the whole "one must upgrade the PC every year for thousands of dollars to play games"-argument is getting so ridiculously old now, for an argument that is completely wrong. My PC had three year old hardware (which wasn't top of the line back then either - google the Geforce GTX 560TI) in it up until just recently, and I played Metro Last Light, Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider just fine with settings just under maxed. Hacked servers? It's the price one must pay for having freedom like this. Hacked servers can be avoided. But it's a little harder when people start hacking Sony and Microsoft so that their services go down altogether. I'm sorry, but while all systems have their pros and cons (price, exclusives, portability, hardware, etc etc), the PC generally comes out on top when you combine it with the console. It can potentially require a little more knowledge (which you can nowadays learn by sitting your ass down and watching KZbin tutorials for no more than an hour), but you get more in return. It costs more, yes, but it's not used for gaming alone. Yes, racing games and fighting games work better with a controller. But guess what, you can sit hunched over a desk with a mouse and keyboard, or you can hook the PC up to your TV and controller, and enjoy it just like a (better) gaming console. Back when the Xbox and PS2 were on the market, I would agree that they were more stable (generally) than the PC, that the games tended to not be as buggy and so on. But nowadays, console releases have just as many bad issues as the PC versions. The difference is that the PC-versions can usually be fixed by modding config-files while waiting for the devs to release a proper patch. With a console game, you're stuck with the problems until the developer feels benevolent enough to fix your issues. Look at Skyrim on the PS3. Those poor sods who just had to sit there with a completely unplayable game.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

You know, in the nearly 7 years since this video, Yahtzee has never lightened up or changed his opinion on the Xbone and PissPoor one bit... and he's right to have not done so, because he was completely right about them. This has been unequivocally the worst console generation since before the Great Crash (particularly when you remember that the Switch wasn't part of it, the WiiU was Nintendo's contribution to the 8th generation)- not that there weren't a large number of great games made, but apart from slightly shinier graphics it didn't bring one single thing that couldn't have been done just as well on the previous generation, while the level of open contempt companies treated their customers with and the levels of anticonsumer bullshit we were expected to put up with reached unprecedented heights and they're still showing absolutely no sign of improving at all. I'm serious about the games too, you realise that every single great game of this generation without exception could have been made on the PS3 and 360 with only a modest drop in graphical quality? Hell, The Last of Us 2 looks basically the same as The Last of Us 1 and that was a last-generation game. So ask yourself, was this entire generation even worth it? And I hope you come up with the correct answer (which is "of course it fucking wasn't") otherwise I may have to hurt you.

[@Uncompromising_Mode]

Get a WiiU for the exclusives, and a PC for litterally everything else. Oh wait you don't have money? PS4 or Xbone then.

[@yoyoguy1st]

Shodance I couldn't have said it any better myself

[@Feminismisfornobody]

John Oliver ''build'' some people don't know how to do that. unless you don't mean build it your self in which case where can i get this good 400$ PC.

[@pcgaming5331]

Chris Marlborough KZbin tutorials, various forums, specialized websites, etc. all of them can teach you how to assemble your own PC, it really isn't as hard as some people might think.

[@marlonyo]

Shodance don't you have shops that build pc. like you take the suggested requirements of the games you want, take them to a shop, and tell them to build a pc for you that meet those. we have those here and then you just go again a few years latter and said i need more ram or something and get the upgrade. got mine as a normal pc for 200 bucks gradate it to a gaming one by putting a good video card for like 60. currently i am in need of upgrading the windows so that it has 7 instead of xp and add more ram but i am too lazy to do it currently still have hundreds of games that can running it and have not played even half of my library

[@AngryDutchMann]

John Oliver yeaeeeh, i am not going to trust the internet with a 400 euro purchase. because last time i checked we aren't living in fairy dust everything is awesome world, this is the internet where 90% of the populations exists out of trolls and the other 10 % keeps their mouth shut

[@adrianshephard6321]

Lol, the inner PC in the Xbone, "Help Me It Smells In Here."

[@britishnerd3919]

Please do an entire cover of the Dr who theme.

[@thelastcarnival]

There's also the Wii U. So you should probably get that instead.

[@layzemouse]

or a pc

thiscakeisFALSE that sums up the war betwene the diferent conslose and the pc and all right there

[@DOCTOROCTAGONAPUSS]

I'm going to use the analogy of when MST3K was asked why they never did a spoof on "Plan 9 from outer space.". They promptly answered, "Because it would be too easy to make fun of.". Only in this scenario Escapist is MST3K and the Wii U is Plan 9 from outer space...

[@globox123456789]

The Wii U, like the Wii is a secondary console.

You expected anything less? Its the xbox one for petes sake, Only fanboys and moms who dont know what to get their spoilt children for christmas get xbox one

[@_GuiltyGhost]

Not really lol :P

[@TKoMEaP]

Ha, not really the moms who don't what they are getting are getting the PS4 because it's cheaper...

[@pancracio1710]

c'mon, the xbox one has more variety and better exclusives like KI, Titanfall, sunset overdrive, halo, project spark, and DR3 playstation has uncharted, infamous, and killzone. not to mention but the voice commands on the xbox one work great.

[@dirpyturtle69]

Normadic N this was the case at launch however if you don’t like single player games Xbox remains just as good as the PlayStation

I hear it too. I wonder if the other transition songs are meant to be recognizable as well.

[@CallMeStorrm]

now that google has made me log in for the 5th time today. let me make my Extremely important comment... hem hem "ROFL!" worth it.

[@Skidonti]

I'm just so glad Google makes me log in so much so that those nasty "hackers" don't access my account and... *shudder*... post silly comments on youtube in my name.

[@Melkac]

Google makes you relog-in? What?

[@Skidonti]

I'm not really sure what it is. While just watching I'm auto logged in and everything records to my history, I can like and favorite. But if I try to comment I'm prompted with "Please sign back in to post a comment." about half the time.

[@JamesCPotter13]

Skidonti I hate seeing that stupid blue box. it's even worse when it automatically logs me in as my Google account(which is entirely different and completely lacking all of my subscriptions) then forces me to jump through 500 hoops to change the account I'm accessing as NO I DON'T WANT TO CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT!!!

This was amazing

[@josephbilling]

The ending is exactly what it should be. Bravo

[@naquan59]

Am i the only one that feels bad that i only come here for Yahtzee, even though theirs like 7 other people who post from this channel.

[@Borntokirune]

To be honest I subscribed just for Yahtzee and when I got the other videos popping on my homepage I thought I was subbed to machinima. The other people are just posting news so yawn

[@69johndz]

I did at first. However, now I am also a fan of "The Big Picture".

[@glumbardi]

69johndz Jimquisitions good too.

[@sickeny]

While both systems have fans that fight, both can agree on one thing, PC gamers are the most arrogant, tight-ass, up-themselves people there are.

[@TheRaveous]

Yup. It's not even a stereotype, it's just the way it is.

[@Jaceblue04]

I have a good idea for an online shooter that can tell a good story: All the players are on the side of the heroes, and all the bad guys are AI controlled. Narrative is told through cutscenes that play for each player individually, rather than what other MMO shooters do.

[@lcmiracle]

That's called a co-op horde-mode

[@legocontrollerjr]

BOOOOORING! I have an idea for a game called "Generic First Person Shooter The Video Game Featuring Aliens" Premise is that little green men have come from Mars and are stealing all the pigs and bacon on the planet because they are nothing but greedy fucking bastards so you play the role of some big burly masculine soldiers to kill the aliens and get back the pigs and bacon. Some of you may say it's cliche but THAT'S THE POINT! it's supposed to be a satirical shooter with random lines like when a guy gets shot and another comes out saying "I'm glad they outlawed condoms and abortion, otherwise we would never have had an unlimited supply of infantry waiting behind the front lines for someone to get shot and replace him rather than everyone charge."

[@EduardoDanielFerreira]

the ending fantastic :D

[@arricat5e311]

I've never had a single virus on my gaming PC because I'm not stupid.

what does that have to do with anything lol

[@DaBigX26]

read this thought about how each xbox i owned had a red ring of death gives pc one vote

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

I dunno. Console gaming is still good for me, but then the most advanced thing I own is either a 360 or a laptop with Windows Shyte.1

[@jasonsoto5273]

[@vissenekku]

While XBox and PS are wrestling, PC's are just having fun watching it.

[@Flabulo]

And having a false air of superiority, as is the way things work.

[@evanknutson3044]

don't forget the WiiU.

[@Tnx2alot]

Flabulo Nothing false about our superiority. But seriously we really dont care at all.

[@AFlyingTaco1]

Matt Leggett I'm sorry, but I have to ask, what is it that makes PC gamers superior to console gamers? Aside from a few graphical enhancements, what is the big fucking difference? Why does it matter what you play on? We're all gamers - that's the sole fact of it all. Why can't we just stop hating on each other and instead just have fun playing games?

[@poblo234]

Evan knutson yeah, the WiiU is in the alley behind the fight club starving and cold

[@Iamthedeception]

I don't understand the constant fighting between consoles and PC. People act like you can't have both. I have a 360 and a PS4 and a PC. It doesn't seem like that should be so hard to understand.

[@MrOzzification]

I can't understand why people bitch & moan @ each other over how one prefers to consume/enjoy certain media. No1 really cares if you watch your anime in Japanese or whichever dub u can understand, nor do they care if you prefer using wasd or the direction keys or a joypad to play games. Do what you want, enjoy it how you want to

[@parrish5116]

I've noticed how this is the only one of the comments without 12 different people trying to shove their opinions as facts down the original posters throat. Probably because you guys make perfect sense and anyone to argue with either comments would have to be extremely bored.

[@predatorancient]

Because people are fuckwits. No really, that's why. Regardless of the merits or disadvantages either platform has, people are still fuckwits.

[@PoisonedAl]

Because people don't like thinking that they made a bad choice and will spout unending bullshit in hopes it will change the reality that they bought an underpowered box of shit with no games. Those who DID make the right choice love rubbing it in peoples faces to show how clever they are. In short; ego.

[@MrOzzification]

Damian Freeman Gaming is a, slightly, expensive hobby overall, especially if you try to consistently keep up with new releases be it gaming title or platform. This is part of the reason why the mobile gaming scene is thriving.

[@caldadextra2063]

I love how the racing game song is a take-off of the Dr. Who theme

[@FischerFilmStudio]

I love it how you took the doctor who theme and replaced the guitar riff with the words "driving about"
