10 "Reasons" to Buy an Xbox Instead of a PC. They're Terrible.

F Ukraine. It literally isn't our problem and yet billions of dollars are being sent there and they aren't negotiating peace because they think they don't have to because money is pouring in.

FYI, the "unplug Xbox, plug back in, resume game" thing is a feature on PC with Windows as well. It's called Hibernate. The way it works is it saves the RAM to your SSD or HDD before shutting off, then you can unplug. Next time you start it the contents are loaded back to RAM and Windows continues where it left off You can also suspend individual games and leave them open when starting another one in Windows. In Resource Manager, Process Explorer etc. You can right click a process and suspend it, at which point it no longer uses up any CPU resources. Someone's even made an app called "universal pause button" so you can just hit a shortcut button and the current process will be suspended. Useful for games with unpausable cutscenes Contrary to popular belief, most games don't crash when you do that. Some games will, yes, but the Xbox doesn't allow suspending in every game either. Some games just aren't compatible doing that, even on the console

[@kolo5141]

Sorry to comment after a year but unplugging doesn't mean hibernate. You can unplug after hibernation but the point is when you have 4 games on qs, you can have power outage and you can still continue after that.

[@Thornskade]

@@kolo5141 Of course unplugging and hibernate work in conjunction. We weren't discussing power outages. I guess the Xbox wins then but how often do you experience power outages while playing?

[@kolo5141]

@@Thornskade We are not discusing circumstances. You can unplug the console (when it's turned on) and that is the point.

[@Thornskade]

@@kolo5141 Why would you do that??

[@kolo5141]

@@Thornskade OMG why are you that dense? I told you I'm not talking about circumstances. It's a feature, It's how it works lol There was couple times I had to unplug it when it was in sleep mode and I knew I can do that because I know games will still be when I left them. I'm not talking about usefulness or anything like that. Not saying if Xbox is better or if it won or anything. Just saying how it works. It hibernates games not the whole system. That's it.

The new consoles can do 120 fps on old games, which is not new, a low end PC can do that as well.

[@luukherfst1209]

Some people (mostly console peasents) claim that the new consoles can do 4k 120 fps simultaniously. How braindead do you have to be to think that?

[@durshurrikun150]

@@luukherfst1209 Maybe they can do that on very old games, assuming that those resolutions are even supported for those games on the new consoles, which might not be the case, so peasants are in essence claiming that the new consoles could do that, not that they can.

[@Wesmoen]

Pretty sure, I could do 4K120hz too on my old build from 2011. With half-life 2 or something? My 970gtx is just getting issues to run newer games at 1080p60hz. A card from 2014. Using FSR or downgrading the resolution fixes my issue. Old hardware can still be interesting, if the expectations are reasonable. While I have a 144hz screen, 72fps is plenty for demanding 3D games.

Oh yea, unlucky enough for me I get acne pretty bad still. It comes and goes by how bad it is

[@vigoroushero8623]

I have an Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch and an MSI GF65 Thin laptop. I use my laptop more than my Xbox and Switch despite it lacking 4K capabilities. PC is where it's at in my honest opinion and I can't wait to get my graphics card to complete my rig now that their slowly coming back in stock.

[@vigoroushero8623]

@Unknown Nomad I tried using that HDMI port on my 1440p/165hz monitor but no matter what I do the framerate drops badly into 30 and below fps and that's murder in competitive gaming. I've put the settings to make the external monitor the only source of display but it just won't stabilize the fps for some reason.

[@vigoroushero8623]

@Unknown Nomad Rogue Company, R6 Siege, COD vanguard and a few offline games in Borderlands and Batman Arkham origins. These games run smooth on the main laptop monitor but can't stabilize on an external monitor.

[@matiastiainen797]

@@vigoroushero8623 I have the same laptop with RTX2060 and I got around 60fps at 1440p on Apex when I tried it. I have undervolted and underclocked(boost to 3600mhz from 4000mhz) my CPU though to keep temps down, and added another 8gb of RAM. It was definitely playable. But I get steady 100+ on 1080p so I obviously play apex at 1080p regularly. And to the other guy, I could run it 60hz on my 4k tv, I have a 2.0 HDMI, yet the PC isn't really powerful enough for good FPS while going 4k res.

My acne went away. Some are not so luck

[@Buddhakingpen]

Backwards compatibility was definitely not expected on old consoles. There was ps2 to ps1, and wii to gamecube, and wii u to wii, but thats about it. I wasnt playing my genesis games on my saturn, or my saturn games on my dreamcast, super nintendo on my n64, etc. It was definitely appreciated, but was never really a talking point back in the day, because console games were evolving so quickly, it was seen more as a "nice to have". Back in the day, generational leaps were so big, that we werent really concerned with what we used to play, because of the excitement of massively improved graphics, controls, and mechanics. Remember, we went from snes to ps2 in the same timeframe we went from ps4 to current day.

[@Scornfull]

I'm younger than you Joe but my acne is nearly non-existent I only get zits on my face if I eat something really greasy and I don't wash my face

[@easyinvesting3216]

I actually do play my handhelds instead of my PC quite a bit. I'm sure that will change once I get my Steam Deck, but for now, the handhelds have a convenience that I can't get with my PC right now. That unfortunately is just a reality in my life until my kids move out lol. But yeah I actually have an extensive collection of handhelds from both Nintendo and Sony as well as games. I probably will keep them as well for travel because I doubt I would take my Steam Deck with me when I travel. That has more to do with the fact that I have less to lose in that case if they get stolen or something. So I still see the handhelds as having some value to me. I even mod them and put the games on so I don't lose my cartridges and discs.

[@tmapes1989]

I wish Sony and Microsoft both had a handheld and that Nintendo had a console that rivaled them!!! Have a great day!!!

[@shaggy-wb1yn]

If my pc got 120 fps I I would assume something was broken

[@MadDogSolo]

I’ll say the backwards compatibility is good but it’s not really anything because you can’t play most games so you might as well get a PC like you said or the original console (best to mod them)

The Xbox games that you mentioned our multi platform, are technically multi platform, but you gotta understand who makes the operating system you’re using, along with the application, that a lot of people with PC game pass are going to be using, which are both made by Microsoft, which kind of still makes them exclusive to Microsoft

[@MrEffectfilms]

Xbox games come to PC the same day as Xbox, or even sooner than Xbox in some cases like Baldurs Gate 3 and Black Myth Wukong. Xbox controllers work great with PCs and you can easily hook it up to a TV and get that same console convenience, not to mention all the advantages of PC like more exclusive and obscure titles, mods, Emulators, etc. There's literally no reason at all to get an Xbox. Regardless of whether you like modern consoles or not you can make arguments for getting a PS5 or switch over a PC but there's absolutely no reason to choose an Xbox over PC.

[@Casual.Gamer_0000]

i can think only one reason, to buy an xbox over pc, and that is to mod it, put a ton of games in it, then resell it for a bit of profit, so now you can buy a slightly better PC. other than that, i won't buy any newer console than my PS3 or PS2... they are perfect. PS3 for the free online multiplayer & PS2 for the great libary, and that iconic UI style. man i love my PS2. i hope it won't die on me any time soon...

[@Xerxes20xx]

[@M4TTYN]

No point imo to get the plastic boxes, my bro also uses his PS5 as a media station, used his PS4 and X1 as them more than gaming systems i played it for a short term when he let me put it in my room for a bit. And analog stick drift isn't a nintendo exclusive thing nor their fauth ....... also ran into you on a BO2 plutonium (client to play COD with more features and security in mind) i was vtuberfan99.

[@JarofMayonaise]

I always wanted to do an 'anti-streamer' type video where I make fun of all the tropes that typical streamers do. I have a feeling you might feel the same way I do about a lot of streamers. I don't watch streamers because they are absolutely shitty game players in most circumstances. They are constantly looking at their chat trying to appease their every demand missing key parts of the game they are playing and when they're done talking and thanking someone for subbing or donating they're lost and have to ask chat what to do because they weren't paying attention. A lot of them just either rush to or through the main story line missions ignoring any and all side quests and then spend most of the time complaining that there is nothing to do and the game is boring and short. Then you have the ones that can't get past a minor glitch or bug in the game and shit on the game the rest of the time because of that river that was missing some water textures so they "just can't keep playing this buggy mess of a game." Stuff like that. I'm sure you can come up with more things in your style. Maybe that can be a video topic for you later.
