PC Gaming Sucks Because Emails Are Scary...

"rapid evolution of gaming consoles" killed me 🤣

[@Tr4yst3r]

"Rapid evolution," yet we still can't escape 30 fps.

[@OrkDiktator]

@@Tr4yst3r That's the studio's fault. 30 fps games coming bach and bad PC ports / insane minimum and recommended specs have the same roots. The new engines and the games built with them are made to take PS5's and Xbox Series' Zen 2 CPUs as the lowest common denominator, not weak Jaguar CPUs. During 8th gen devs reduced the workload for CPUs as much as possible. New games put RT, more CPU-heavy graphical effects etc onto the CPUs. The games don't even look better, they just made differently. And devs decide that 30 fps was enough so they don't have to optimize more. The only 30 fps games who have a justification are TotK on Switch due to the weak hardware and Starfield on Xbox Series due to the CPU-heavy simulation of the game world.

[@JoeFromSeattle]

>online gaming price hikes >new game price hikes >still no full backwards compatibility >still 30 fps >1 or 2 first party games a year to make up for it watch out it's evolving too rapidly

[@daedalus6433]

Consoles: Barely change specs for several years, games usually stuck at 30 fps, lack of customization of settings PC: New CPUs, GPUs, motherboards, RAM sticks and power supplies every 1-2 years, games usually able to reach 60 fps with entry-level hardware, proper ports have tons of graphics settings

I really wish people would stop acting like PC gaming is some sort of super complex, esoteric thing. Even if you don't wanna build a PC, you can still buy prebuilts. And installing games is by no means complicated either. It's as simple as downloading Steam, signing up for a free account, buying your game, downloading it, and then clicking "play." But you have articles like this making people think it's rocket science.

[@Xyler94]

It's because they need to stave off the buyer's remorse of buying a console, so they bring up anything to make PC gaming seem terrible.

Most of the "PC exclusives" are actually indie games that the developers simply doesn't have the resource to port to console. They aren't purposely being locked behind a paywall to boost sales to a hardware-inferior machine. And the programming in PC gives the devs a lot more flexibility in actually coding and designing their game. That alone is already worth much more than a console.

I'm a 1080p 60FPS gamer, but I DID opt to buy a 4080 just for the sake on not having to upgrade for years to come. That longevity alone is well worth the cost, and will easily outlast a console generation while giving me far superior performance and fidelity.

[@lieutenanteclipse9975]

Shit I still run my 1650 Ti on my mid-tier laptop, which I also do my business work on. I don't have many games (especially modern unoptimised shit-on-launch games), and this laptop still runs 1080p 60 FPS more or less fine. Imagine having to buy 2 consoles and another PC just to do what 1 mid-tier laptop can do. I have good confidence that this laptop won't need to be upgraded until it dies. (I did an SSD swap that's about it)

[@CADPgamer]

If you ever decide that it's worth it, then I recommend you eventually get even a 1080p monitor with a 120+Hz refresh rate. I can't stress how good it feels to play games at higher frame rates. Especially when you have highly optimized games like DMCV, most competitive games, and so on.

I feel this. I honestly wish PC gaming still had a physical media scene, I still have most of my game discs from the 6th through 8th console gens. I love collecting stuff like that, it's the one thing I miss about being on console. But that said, the digital PC game market is amazing so it's a worthy trade-off

[@CoreyThePunk]

Hogwarts Legacy on PC was just not optimized well at launch. It wasn’t broken (at least from what I played at launch). People in the community made FPS boosters mods to help in the meantime until the developer fixed the issue. If I remember correctly, it had to do with the shaders.

[@JoeFromSeattle]

That sounds more in line with what I was hearing at the time. I didn't play at launch but the worst I remember hearing was FPS issues, certainly not the best port but not at the same level as other really bad port examples

[@ZodiacEntertainment2]

RE4make, Lies of P, Armored Core 6, Dead Space Remake, and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart all came out on PC this year. They are all high profile games made by AAA studios and all of them had good to great PC ports, but that's easy to ignore I guess? lol

And the fact these people who make these comparisons ALWAYS ignore the fact that even if you're not buying a PC for gaming, you'll most likely than not be buying a PC for other uses, and spending more on it to also be able to game on it makes gaming PCs cheaper. Like you'll most likely spend at least 800 on a PC for daily use, and can get a decent gaming PC that you can use for YEARS will probably cost you around $2k, making the gaming PC cost only $1200, and you can upgrade parts whenever you feel like you need an upgrade and have the money saved. Add the cheaper video games, and being able to buy/emulate older gen games, etc. to this and it ends up being even cheaper than consoles. And as a bonus, you always get to keep your games in case you ever want to revisit them in the future, and you don't have to physically keep your 5-10 old consoles for the rest of your life to be able to play your old games. I can't imagine what it'd be like to keep all my consoles to be able to play the games I used to enjoy as a kid. Can't imagine needing to physically keep my old PS1, PS2, PSP, Gameboy Advance, Advance SP, Xbox 360, Switch, and PS4 just to play those old games. I even sold my Switch and just use my PC and Steam Deck in place of all those previous consoles I used to own, and I'm still able to play and enjoy all their games with just a PC and Steam Deck without the need of storing and looking after 7+ consoles and making sure none of them is broken for the rest of my life. All these are just the tip of the iceberg of the advantages of having a PC over console, and even just these are enough to make me convince to pay premium and get a decent gaming PC. I won't even go into the details to explain how scummy Sony and Nintendo are. PC, in every aspect, is the more consumer friendly option. Idk if you will even read this, but if you do and agree, I'd like it if you put this coment (or just touch on this subject) on your next PC gaming related video as a counter argument, because everybody I see ignore this very obvious advantage of having a PC. Btw I'm not a PC fan who loses their mind with console wars and shit if this comes out like that. I just HATE the monopolistic and consumer exploitative nature of Sony and Nintendo.

[@harshkumar1280]

Finally someone gets it. These console fanboys will tell you that they can do other things on an iPad... that costs 1 grand. A pc that does everything saves you so much money in the long run. I can understand wanting a plug and play experience but saying that consoles are better value is just disingenuous. Even a 1650 is better value than any current gen console. It's enough to run most games and also gets shit done.

its wild that people still try to say consoles are better. i bought my pc in 2016 and just replaced the gpu, motherboard, ram, and cpu because i could afford it. not because i had to. pcs will be more expensive the first time, then you can have the same pc for 10 years without NEEDING to replace anything except a hard drive. pcs have a 1000x more games, better performance, better graphics, and cheaper games.

You just gotta love how they imply how "Consoles having more exclusives than PC" is a good thing, and better than PC because of it. As if consoles exclusives isn't straight bullshit at trying to lock a game behind a paywall for pure profit, and big corps can easily port them to PC if they wanted to. The reason of PC being supreme is easy to see. A gaming PC, when not playing games, is still a PC. I can do my office work on it - edit videos, do my documents / homework, use a variety of applications for different productivity / recreation process etc. A console not playing game is just a brick. I got a mid-tier Gaming Laptop 4 years ago. It has run every game I wanted to play on it fine, at 60 fps no less, and it costs less than 1k USD. I can still do my work documents, access cloud storage and browse the web when I'm not playing (truth is I work on this computer more than I play on it). Buying a console that will become obsolete in 2-3 years AND a PC for work is in absolutely no way superior to own a PC / Laptop at your desired spec.

1. Consoles don't require any knowledge of hardware, you get a functioning gaming system out of the box. 2. Consoles are easier to share with friends and family. Playing with multiple people on a couch is easier with console. 3. Consoles are easier to maintain. 4. Consoles are more accessible because of their simple design of their interface. 5. Consoles are more mobile. Move a lot of want to take your console to a friend's house? No problem. There, I got 5 points in which consoles are better than PCs and there's probably more. I'm a PC gamer and it took me 2 minutes to come up with these. Consoles have a place in gaming, they'll always have advantages over PC and nobody is denying that. But these lists people write up are just nonsense. Console is better for a casual audience and PC for people who care even a little about bang for buck.

[@AHungryHunky]

To me the biggest difference between console and PC gaming is the same as "Car guys" and guys that enjoy a winding road on a nice autumn day. Car Guys really like the technical side of things, they like knowing the ins and outs and being able to do work themselves, in that way PC gamers enjoy the customizability and personal connection to their rigs. Console players are more like the guy that just likes having his convertible for an afternoon cruise. He doesn't care that its engine is not powerful, he doesn't care its not the most responsive vehicle, he doesn't want to do more maintenance wise than schedule tune ups and oil changes, in that way a console player just wants a simple box they can drop under their TV, and so long as they buy games with the symbol corresponding to the one kn their box, it just works. They dont want to keep up with or even know what sort of parts are in their box. They dont want to know, or understand minimum specs or how to get the most out of their box. They just want that autmn drive. Neither is an incorrect way to enjoy car ownership. Neither is an incorrect way to enjoy gaming. Anyone who tells you otherwise has either something to gain personally from doing so, or something they need to work through personally.

[@AlbedoAtoned]

The problem with that analogy is that Console gamers absolutely do care about how powerful they are, to the point that a lot of attention in console wars are placed on the most miniscule differences in visual fidelity. Console gamers very often fight over which console is better purely on which is more powerful, despite most of the time the two main consoles being neck and neck with each other. And of course this also bleeds into how they view PC. Many of them believe that even if their console ISN'T the most powerful, they so often assume that you need to spend thousands of dollars and constantly upgrade in order to beat the perfornance. And of course you can tell most of them absolutely care, even if they say they don't by how they react when PC gets a port of one of the games that was previously exclusive. If they legitimately did not care, they wouldn't be making bomb threats, and getting so angry. They get mad because they DO care about the perrformance, and many of them buy consoles not because they are satisfied with the performance of the console, but because they believed they needed to buy it in order to play the game. So when they see a game they bought the console for getting ported, they feel as if their purchase has been devalued. Another issue is that this assumes that tinkering is inherent to PC gaming. PC gaming doesn't really require anything more than a console. What PC has over console is that you CAN tinker, but you don't have to. If you have a problem, most of the time it will be something you can easily solve yourself. Whether it is software or hardware, the solution is usually quite simple. PC cases also tend to make replacing and upgrades easy. Like if I want to replace the GPU, I take off the side panel and replace it. I don't have to take everything apart to get to it. You can also just send it in if it is outside of your tech skillset. If a game doesn't work right away, there's a 99% chance that somebody has figured out the solution in the forums. Like maybe you just turn on a setting or drag and drop a file into the folder, even things the least tech literate person can do and it takes all of 30 seconds to fix. If a console has a problem, you don't have the luxury of fixing it yourself a lot of the time. Sometimes you can fix it, like I had to replace a fan on a second hand Switch. It took me about 30 minutes, but required I take the system apart and when putting it back together I had to replace the thermal paste. A lot of the time though, users can't fix the problem easily. Like what happens when the SSD dies on a Series X or PS5? Even if you have the knowledge and skills to take the system apart and replace it, you will run into the issue that current gen consoles are designed so that you can't just replace the SSD and reinstall the OS like older generation consoles. They tie keys to the SSD that are encrypted and change constantly, or use SSD SKUs that consumers can't buy. With games, when you have an issue, your only recourse is to wait for a patch. Some games never do get patches either. There's a Spiderman game on the PS3 that a relative of mine played and he eventually hit a game breaking bug that never got patched. Whereas the PC community usually has issues fixed before an official patch ever comes out. Years down the line, you want to play a game that has issues and there is high likelihood that there are mods that fix every one of them and even improves the game in other ways too. So the better analogy is the PC user is the car owner that likes having a car that is open and that allows them if they need to to replace things. They like that their car will likely still work 5-10 years from then on, and that none of the features are behind a paywall. They also really like that the openness of it allows them to do more than drive down certain roads. The console player doesn't truly own their car. Despite paying nearly the same for it, they still need to pay a subscription for basic features like air-conditioning, radio, or the ability to drive on anything other than a flat. Their car is limited to certain roads so they get really angry when they see the PC car owners, who can go pretty much anywhere they want. And when the Console car has an issue, the only solution available is to send it in and hope it is under warranty (or even serviced at all). 5-10 years from then, they have to replace the car entirely and upon doing so a lot of roads they could travel on are now inaccessible to them and even more features are behind a paywall. Some features like being able to roll down the windows are missing at launch or never show up.

They’re “high end pc” is a Alienware laptop.

[@Firestorm2056]

the only issue i have from my ps5 is i miss the haptics and i miss being able to listen to my music without tabbing out of my game, other than that pc wins in my book

[@KingKrouch]

So funny seeing these fanboy shill weirdos on suicide watch because they're effectively going extinct or endangered now that PC Gaming is bigger than consoles at this point. The only thing that's gonna kill PC Gaming at this point is NVIDIA or Microsoft.

xylophone, Douchenburg, academy hahaha

[@lilsoonerfaninmo]

Honestly the closest thing I've come to stuff like "bad optimization" was Spider Man Remastered at night, and (as of AMD 23.10.2) Sonic Generations Other than that, everything has been....basically the same

[@dragongamerx12]

why do they keep saying plug and play you need to download games on the ps 5 though it is faster than the ps 4

[@LicoriceLain]

Did you see that PC Gamer article ranking Starfield beneath 76 (and ESO, for some reason)?

If your pc is better than current console it will always be better as long as a new gen doesn't come out. The console doesn't magically get better or the pc worse. Even if you lower settings it will still be better looking than the console and have better performance.

[@dragongamerx12]

yea the ps 5 is simple to set up didn't take me a half hour including game downloads

[@Firestorm2056]

bruh i ran starfield at 80fps max settings at launch with my 4080

[@lukastechtips]

Tbh since im a teen, my favorite game is Fortnite. It runs at 165fps with high settings WITH lumen AND nanite, and runs WAYYYYYYY better then a ps5 either limited to 60fps with decent graphics, or 120fps at graphics worse than a potato. PC is far superior in many ways. Running an RTX 4070ti Super.

[@przemeksz8203]

i have a good job i can afford stupid expensive pc parts so what am i supposed to play on a console so console gamers feel better?

[@gamernamedazzim]

Hey joe, do you think marvel spider man 2 pc port will fix any glitches and bugs on console?

[@JoeFromSeattle]

I'd imagine so. Especially if Nixxes is in charge. They did great work with the port of Spidey Remastered (give or take the CPU issues) and I'd imagine they'll treat the second with the same level of care

[@jtgamer-nintendo-xbox]

One word steam deck

[@deamonlordzack7294]

Wanted to say this as well steam deck with steam os 3 consolize the PC in setting a base performance & giving a console like UI from the get go while not keeping the user/customer in a walled garden like a actaul console. Steam OS 3 also comes with steam as a luancher but you can use another luancher & store if you want unlike console.

[@midibenni]

I enjoy my pc and play both, console and pc. i pick up the rtx 4080 and its a good machine but what the console is doing great, is , - recording good looking gameplay material for youtube. and yes, your PC recordings looks not good on yT. but i like your content. So i try`ed by myself, to squeeze out best looking gameplay material on pc and it is very difficult. the best results is running two pc´s and record on elgato mk2 but bro .. running two pc on 2ooo watts for good looking gameplay, i dont know man. so i enjoy to hopping between both pc and console. thanks god, on xbox its simple to play everywhere and play together wherever i left the game.

[@FluffBear01]

The amount of stupid people I'm seeing say like just go to because of a few bad pc ports it just makes my brain hurt.

[@fargonthebrave]

yer nar i could never go back to console also they seem to forget PC mods fixed 99% of my problems on PC for starfeild haha yes pc are costly but they also do alot more then just gaming

[@thatnavajoboi6861]

"the xbox sex" 5:32

[@Nerd_Gamer_Buddy]

more cost to entry? aside from extreme budget builds yes this is true

[@unicorn1655]

Also on PC every game can technically be free

[@artemuswithau]

Anyone know what the game being played in the background is? Reminds me of L4D/B4B but in a Doom-ier setting.

[@TheGoreforce]

last of us part 1 was broken, while the other two, starfield, and hogwarts legacy needed a good PC.

[@matthewleslie8599]

Bro, my pc is like $2400 on max settings. I play starfield at like 150 FPS, and that's with Raytracing and 3D texture mods.

[@Z3rgatul]

What? Starfield doesn't have raytracing. Even if some mod enables some kind of screen space raytracing, this is not real raytracing.

[@Firestorm2056]

the only reason starfield was so bad was lazyness and lack of dlss for nvidia users, xbox had same issues

[@gamergate2.0andbooks]

Steam should make a game consoles

[@luka1635]

I don't think whether I buy Ps5 or not will Rockstar release Gta 6 on launch on Pc,and I don't want same problem I had with my favourite game Rdr2,that I got spoiled ending because douchbags at Rockstar release it at console first,I won't repeat same mistake and that's only reason I will buy Ps5 even tho I prefer gaming on Pc in every way

[@suspectfox]

I’ve been loving darktide

[@situatedillness]

Now in midfield there is dlss 3 so there’s that and frame gen. So now the Sony ponies have no ground to stand on. 🤷
