PC Gaming vs Console - What’s ACTUALLY Better? 🤔

Absolutely. I built my first system nearly 3 months ago now, its the best feeling in the world when you see it fire up for the first time, although I did miss one thing. I forgot to connect the SATA power for my AIO. So it shut off on me a couple of times, which did panic me at first. Luckily I then realised my mistake.

@Nick I agree with that but developers are lazy and make up excuses

[@tusux2949]

@@nickg1912 I play both PC and Playstation (PC gamer at heart, though) and missing KB/M support on consoles is the biggest stupidity in the last decade. Latest gen consoles literally have Ryzen CPUs, these are desktop parts, there is no excuse anymore they (MS/Sony and their devs) can think of to not support it. Other than what we are getting right now - devs just ignore it. If I could play Civ 6 and the like with KB/M on a console, there would be literally nothing keeping me stuck on my chair in front of the PC. There is nothing like getting back from work, sinking in the couch in front of a giant TV and firing up some game to get your brain to function again. Laziness is a great seller for consoles, I bet :P It was for me, that's for sure. Yea, when I want to play "seriously" all day long on a weekend day, I'd use the PC, of course, but the simple "let's go" readiness of a console usually wins during the work week. The only thing missing is the keyboard. I ain't playin games that beg for a KB/M on a controller. Why nerf yourself when there is a better way ?

PC is better for casual nowadays, just get a mid-range PC and download all the freebies littering Steam, Epic, GOG or whatever you want. Consoles used to great for multimedia but now most people have a TV that can do the same things.

[@SDW_Tech]

In my opinion there's a not better side because they both had advantages and disadvantages for example, a good pc can cost a lot more than a console but you don't have any limitations to what you can do but on a console the only thing you can do is game and watch stuff. on a pc however it will last you a lot longer than a console because you can upgrade your pc overtime but you have to see what components are compatible first (if you don't buy a prebuilt) and you don't have to worry about what's compatible on a console. plus depending on what you prefer and what your setup looks like you have all the possibility's to make a aesthetic looking pc or a pc that matches your setup theme, but you cant do that on a console, however like I mentioned before a console can be a lot cheaper than a good pc. so in conclusion if your on a tight budget and looking to spend £500 or so get a console if your mainly going to be gaming because a £500 pc is not gonna be better for gaming than a next gen console and if your looking to spend £800-900+ then get a pc.

The biggest issue I have for switching from console to PC, is the absolute lack of optimization that PC games get these days. So much that you need to brute force your way through the game with a very powerful gpu. My secondary issue is driver updates but that's whatever.

[@balloonb0y677]

Laptop gaming is better. Gaming laptops these days are good enough to play any game. And with such great graphics on a mobile device is unbeatable.

[@XxViperMortalxX]

​@@balloonb0y677not really... Gaming laptops are not only more expensive but also a lot weaker for the price with no possibility to upgrade in the future. The portability of a laptop is a joke because u still need a desk to actually play something. Temps are also much worse which may end up literally melting ur gpu/cpu solder (happens a lot with laptops), also the dust build up is a nightmare, most ppl cant/dont know how to open a laptop do clean inside and there is a huge risk of causing some damage while also being insanely more time consuming. Honestly laptops are way worse option than a console or a desktop pc, you have the worse of both worlds without the positive of any. Unless u travel a lot, use ur computer for work while traveling, a laptop isnt for u. As for OP, yeah... optimization is a joke and my recomendation for u is stick to console, u are going to have much more fun with a console due to it not needing any tweaks or fixes. I own a gaming pc but only because i made a very high end pc 6 years ago and it provided me best value to just upgrade it with a new cpu and gpu than geting a console, but the drivers u have to keep up to date, errors, optimization, tweaks, is honestly quite fun killers and if u aint someone who knows what u doing u are fucked if some error pops up. If next gen consoles come up like they did now, providing insane performance for its price with almost all titles runing 60fps+ i will get a console in future.

For me the big plus on PC is nowadays Indie games. Not only do they at least try to make games to entertain people rather than finding the psychologically most efficient way to make money, they also run on your old gaming PC without spending even more money on hardware you only need because greedy AAA studios spend more time on gamepasses, microtransactions and other cash grabs than optimizing the code.

Nowadays PC is for enthusiast - you have to have quite a lot of time to manage all the complexity around building, maintaining and (the most important part) upgrading your PC. If you want to have a nice experience you either a) DIY and spend hours researching differences between CPUs/GPUs etc. b) spend a lot more money to pay for high end spec PC as a whole or for parts (by just buying top-notch stuff). B option right now is around 3-5k$. Anything in between is just a trade-off where one has to choose between less pleasant experience and less time/money spent. Also, games prices for PC are really dependent on your region - some people do get them dog cheap while others pay almost as much as on the consoles. So yeah, whoever is into building and managing PC should buy one, in 95% of other cases one console or another is a way to go.

Only people who like to game in 4K would need an RTX 4090. Guess what? Almost 60% of all Steam gamers play on 1080p, and guess what professional gamers prefer? 1080p! You can easily built a PC for less than 2k, that can handle every game out there with easy, and I know, because my son's PC costs less than that, and yet he's running all games with crazy frame rates on ultra, he even has fast 7,000MB/s NVME drives and tons of RAM.

Sure back in the day a ps2/ps3/ps4 couldnt compete with a high end pc but nowadays the series x or ps5 are 90% there. Sure the pc does 200fps on warzone.. but mehh ps5 does 120 and the plays just fine really. You dont have to wiggle around with all kind of settings tweaking performance and whatnot it just works. Same goes for sx, its even smaller and makes no noise at all when playing. The pc is just overcomplicated in that regard and too expensive. The 7900xtx alone is like a ps5 AND a series x combined cost wise...

[@adonicetrig8908]

Riiight u fucked up ur fans/radiator/water cooling if u struggle with temperature and noise, had my old rig for 5+ years, no problems whatsoever. 90% there? They’re literally 5-6 years behind, the average OCed 1080 ti can match performance, and if u want ray tracing, a slightly OCed 2070 is superior lmao. Tweaking settings? My guy u literally have a 7800x3d 7900xtx setup, what tweaking? It’s easy ultra on everything ffs. As for the price tag, well yh it’s worth as much as both consoles, but it also outperforms them combined, and there’s just so much more that u can do on PCs, my guy half of the PS library isn’t even accessible on PS5, u got emulation on PC for it and 99% of all consoles to ever exist, so the price not only reflects the performance, you’d have to be a clueless fool to complain about it for what u get, and don’t get me started on the biggest fish in the room, gaming is just one side of PCs, remote working, coding, browsing, editing, hell even crypto mining, and so many more, the amount of stuff u can do on PCs compared to consoles is incomparable, they’re called gaming consoles yet most medium range PCs outperform them in every metric at gaming alone, so again, complaining about the price of top of the line GPU that will carry u for the next 8 years in every digital endeavour in existence is plain moronic and irrational beyond belief, like no hard feelings but it sounds to me like u wasted ur money entirely if all u wanted out of ur PC was gaming and nothing more.

In theory PC gaming should be better, but in reality it is generally more expensive but a much worse experience because there are so many variables that can make things not work properly and it can be a nightmare to keep things working well for all games at once.

If you are a console gamer who decides to switch over to PC, but still want the console like experience, you can set up Steam's big picture mode (a dashboard that looks similar to consoles) where you can launch games directly, then just plug in your PC into your TV of choice and use any controller you want, from Nintendo NES, Xbox, Gamecube, PS1 to PS5, but of course for 100% compatibility just use an Xbox controller of any kind, et voila, you will get the same console like experience with the ability to play all previous console generation games from N64, PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, DreamCast, GameCube, Wii and Wii U, along with many PC exclusive titles and of course current and future multiplats games, and many more, PS4 emulator is in development now and already running a few games but should be able to run most games within a year, you also got MODS which are basically free DLC from the fans/community, and of course free online, cheaper games, better graphics and higher/smoother frame rate, there is no single reason why a normal functioning human would choose a console when PC exists.

Depends on when you talk about starting faster with games. If you only have a standard SSD or god forbid a HDD, then yeah consoles will. But my PC has only M.2 SSDs that have the highest rated speeds currently. 7500/7000 read write speeds, so it launches games quickly.

I’m unapologetically part of the console master race. Consoles are superior, they just are yes, I’m clearly aware of that consoles use PC components But all PS fives are identical so developing a game for the PS5 console is easier because all PS fives are the exactly the same, whereas developing games for PC is actually more difficult because you have to develop your game with more parameters in mind not to pieces are exactly the same Some pieces are built to make the games look good but run like crap and some PCs are built to run the game really well but look like crap. And some very expensive PCs can do both and you have to build your game to be optimised under all three of those conditions making the game harder to develop for four PCs ironically making the game on a PC but it’s not just a PC, you also have to make the game on a PC with a game development kit made precisely for PC Much like you would do for a console some consoles are the game development kit with themselves

[@kacywatson6314]

Okay, I’m actually gonna be a little bit realistic now. Neither of them is actually better. My comment above does say a few factual things but it is I obviously bias. Yes making games for console is easier because all consoles are pretty much the exact same but that doesn’t actually make development of the game any easier. It just means that you know the machine that you’re developing for with that said and out the way Let’s go on about how they are pretty much the exact same PC gaming and console gaming are kind of identical, but I will also explain why I still before gaming on console And it all starts with Xbox Xbox are they’re partly famous because they’re consoles are using a lot of PC components and have been since the first Xbox and it’s had an impact on the development of all consoles to come because it’s made consul manufactures realise that using more powerful and cheaper PC components not only helps to make your consulate cheaper than the manufacture and easier to develop games for it. Also ultimately makes your consult slightly more powerful. Consistently Xbox have always been a little bit more powerful than their competitor. The PlayStation Not by much, however being as popular as it is proven that console gamers don’t care for raw power of the consul. I just needs to perform well enough it just has to be good enough and people will buy it. Sure some people plenty of people want some moderate power and performance from their consul, and that’s why PlayStation is more popular than Nintendo, but Nintendo also proves being more popular than Xbox. That console gamers don’t care for sheer performance and power and processing power, it’s nice to have and is great for PC game developers to work with and it makes porting console games to PC. It makes porting PC games to console easy and all games for most platforms are all equal fantastic or no worries you don’t want a consul that is complete shipped, but ultimately consul gamers do not care for she processing power, mainly because the people buying into consoles are not computer people. We simply want a simple machine that you can just play games out of the box and we don’t want to take her around the building our own custom machine. We just want to get out of the box plug it in plug it into the TV turn it on or look it plays games right away PC gaming is a completely different concept altogether from console gaming and neither one is better but they’re just entirely different console. Gaming is simple. It literally is your machine it’s dedicated to play games and play games. Only. I knew even how to think console gaming is simple PC gaming is complicated. It might be simple for you but for a lot of people who are not tech orientated they like myself don’t know a thing or two about building a PC and actually can’t learn how to do so and When it comes to pre-built PCs what are we going to do simply buy a gaming dedicate machine that just works or buy a pre-built PC that will probably be more expensive be liking and power and just not be grateful dedicated gaming unless you really fork out the money and it just happens to be Good playing games, but you just but you just spent a lot of money for a lot of processing power that is only going to be using like a small percentage of that processing power to play games whereas a simple console it’s probably as as powerful as you need it to be to play the games that are released, precisely for that machine so ultimately, since I actually have techno phobia I’m actually scared of PCs. I am not tech orientated at all. I ultimately prefer gaming on console even a good friend of mine who is tech oriented. I’ve computers and gadgets and stuff still ultimately before gaming on console, because a console offers a kind of gaming experience that a PC can never emulate, and I am going to take that saying to the grave by the way, because that’s what PC do they are emulation machines they never run natively on them. They need to run an emulation piece of software but that could be steam. By the way then run the game on the program and that’s called emulation. Consoles can do emulation as well that’s actually how backwards compatibility works, or at least that’s how backwards compatibility works now So yeah neither console or PC as better I prefer console because it’s the technology that I’m comfortable with since I have technophobia. Another friend of mine is really into his tech but he still prefers playing on console because he likes that separation of a different machine to do a different thing he Had a PC that was for Work and it was powerful to run games but he just didn’t like how this one machine does literally everything he doesn’t like it because humans are animals were monkeys and monkeys are weird, but another friend of mine she is not tech orientated similar to me and she just wants one machine that does everything and that is her PC so she prefers the game on PC. She does work on that PC. She plays games on that PC She browses the Internet on that PC and she has iPad precisely four her artwork and album art for her boyfriends band and not about it and a simple smart phone and on top of everything that I’ve just said PC gaming has kind of always just been a thing because that’s just how video games have started, but the idea of I dedicated machine that is designed precisely to play video games. That’s what consul is so if you are building like a gaming PC you’re not really building a computer you building your own custom game console because all game consoles effectively are dedicated gaming PCs and just to cut cost and artificially make them into their own product they they’re basically PCs, but with all the or most of the other PC functionality removed and everything that they need just to play games nothing else Ever as technology has progressed to today’s consoles are basically dedicated gaming pieces right out the box just not running windows unless you buy an Xbox it’s running on modified version of windows. You know you could just browse the Internet go on Bing and still go on Amazon and buy things you can go on Facebook and post something you can still go onto Windows XL or Microsoft Word on your goddamn Xbox through the Bing web browser are they Microsoft Edge. You can go into your Xbox and hook up mouse and keyboard. Operate the main system going to Microsoft edge in the browser and open up Microsoft Word from there and then write a CV. Write your résumé or something save it onto the OneDrive then go onto the web browser and start looking for work apply, and you don’t have to print out your résumé. As long as you play your websites. These days will allow you to upload your résumé or your CV Directly from OneDrive that you just made. Yeah your Xbox can do basic functionality so which one’s best the game on they are goddamn identical the only real differences the PC you can build the precise machine that you want which may or may not be more expensive and may or may not then have more technical issues because game development just has more variables to take to keep in mind naturally, so they might run into bugs and glitches more often, however, on a dedicated console since all boxes are basically all the same all PS fives are basically all the same that makes a little bit easier for game development because they know the system that they’re developing the game for it has one set of architecture so you’re less likely to run into bugs so ultimately gaming in general as better on console. However with that send gaming on PC is a completely other concept altogether which understandably other people may enjoy more for any other reason maybe gaming on PC offers you something obviously does offers you something that console can’t do as of yet and that’s most likely the idea of you building your own gaming machine which is effectively it is a gaming console. There is no real technical difference and both machines are basically capable of doing the exact same thing. Yep, and Xbox can do a spreadsheets

I built my pc in April of 2020, at the time when pc parts were actually a decent price (before the gpu crisis, I lucked out on that) and I was an Xbox gamer for years, this was before the new gen consoles were out so the jump for me was much bigger because that gap between how much better a pc is definitely much smaller now, but I was in love with my pc and had no regrets, I wouldn't touch my console for years until I got a ps5 just to play GoWR because I loved the 2018 one so much, but I didn't regret the ps5 either because that is a great gaming device and it allowed me to play other titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne and The Last of Us. plus I get future releases like spiderman 2, and hopefully GoT 2, I still play pc way more though because my friends are all on their too now plus I just how much you can personize your pc and I get MnK, even today I think pc is still better and if you think about the pricing it does over time iron out because with a console if you wanna play online you gotta pay monthly or yearly for the subscription, plus games on pc get a bunch of sales. Yes the entry cost is high on pc but it does iron itself out, at the end of the day it really is just up to what your needs are, and these new consoles are definitely great for the price for what they can achieve now if I had to say which console to get if you're wanting a console, as much as I love Xbox and I grew up with that console I would still say get a PS5 because I think Sony has a better line up of games that you can play now or are coming out later.

I'm about to switch to pc from ps5. The reasons are that 1) I need a new pc for other stuff anyway so might as well get a good one 2) I always wished I could play mods on Skyrim vr but on PlayStation you can't and I suffered with longing believe me 3) I'm really interested in AI and mods suddenly and it's a good reason to get involved now. I don't think the choice is as simple as people will try to say. I have played a lot of older games or stuck to an mmo for ages so it doesn't always cost as much on console as people assume. And it's small, clean and simple and it's kind of a fun identity. I'm looking forward to getting back into using a pc every day though. Also Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6. Thanks Bethesda. I'll just go and purchase a pc now hope you're happy 😂

Enjoy! I recommend building the pc yourself. It seems nerve racking at first, but is very satisfying and fun in the end

[@areadhead]

@@Bdot888 Thanks. Yes I am going to try myself. It looks too tempting to let someone else open those goodies to build it. Wish me luck

@@areadhead you got it! Watch a bunch of youtube build guides and take your time building. If something doesnt feel right, step back and rewatch a video. It took me like 4 hours my first pc but i took my time and eventually it was satisfying booting it up for the first time. Eventually you get comfortable with your hardware and have fun tinkering and upgrading your pc. Everyone starts some where! 🙏

Let's be honest, in 2023 pc gaming sucks! Every game comes out broken, stutters, crashes etc I bought rtx4090 in January and I honestly regret it. I upgraded my whole pc to suit the 4090 with 13900k, 32gb 6000mhz ram, gen 4 nvme drives and almost all games run like shit. My ps5 and series x always work with no issues. The current state of pc is horrible. Compilation stutter is pc's archilles heal. Then there's this nonsense like diablo 4 and star wars outlaw where they force you to use the company's launcher.

[@dantasticmania8728]

No offense but why a 4090,that's a giant work horse of a PC that's much more suited for doing complex 3d animations and rendering A.I models. Personally I'm gonna keep my built simple and alot more fitting for my needs. For the GPU I'm gonna either go with a RTX 3060 ti used or a Rx 6600,CPU a Ryzen 5 ,5600 is more than good for current gaming. Sometimes future proofing can be a royal pain , especially when you invest into the latest nosebleeding tech and that tech hasn't matured to the point where your not constantly dealing with updates.

[@fboost]

@dantasticmania8728 i bought the 4090 because it's the ONLY card that can do proper 4k high refresh. I have a 240hz monitor and even the 4090 can't run latest games anywhere near 240fps. I made this post a year ago and my opinion is the opposite today. There are a lot of pc games now that come out running fine, on the contrary the consoles cannot even run a game @60fps without it becoming a jaggered blurry mess. The pc specs you listed could run 1440p @60fps with tweaks to settings. Path tracing is out, high refresh on AAA games is out. I have a second computer which was my previous one, 5950x with a rtx3080. This system struggles with same games to even do 60fps with upscaling. I have to drastically reduce settings. If you don't really care about graphics then sure the 4090 is overkill, but if you like eye candy the 4090 is the current best card for gaming. I'm 46yo so price is not an issue for me, I want the best gaming experience possible.

[@RÈDA40x]

As an owner of all platforms. PC has its perks for sure. It checks all the boxes. And imo it is definitely a worthy investment. My only problem with PC is that it doen’t give you that gaming library vibe and simplicity as a console. Too many launchers too many stores. But at least the options are there and im glad. I game mainly on Xbox however the fact that Windows has Xbox built in pretty much I don’t see the point of Xbox console anymore. After that announcement of Starfield being locked at 30fps on consoles, I’m definitely playing it on PC. Again the on’y thing I love about console it’s the vibes and simplicity. I do recommend going with PC over a console tho.

[@Hinoki_Weitzel]

[@virginiabob3665]

I think it comes down to with a PC, you build a lifetime library of games and they are cheap. Epic games, Amazon games, humble bundle, fanatical bundles, steam anthologies, etc. They practically give them away. Also with a PC, you can go controller or PC/keyboard as you wish. Also, you are going to have a PC anyways, so might as well get one with a mid range graphics card, which usually adds $200 to the PC purchase.

[@portman8909]

And once you're fully invested in the Steam eco system with hundreds of games, consoles aren't worth it at all. Why would I rebuy all my games for a in the end inferior experience?

[@pwd1134]

There was legitimately a time during the Xbox 360/PS3 era where you could build an outperforming PC for less than the price of a console. Those days are so far gone it's not even funny. I'm a 'cream of thr crop' kind of guy but I'm not made of money lol. When it was time to upgrade or build a new PC for me, I decided against it as I could literally buy a PS5 Xbox series X and a brand new OLED TV for less than the price of most 4090s at launch which is what I did. And that's just one component of the PC I would want to build lol. There's too many issues and nonsense associated with building a PC solely for gaming. You get all the regular PC usage headaches. I've always had consoles and PC and the amount of cheaters on PC is astronomically higher than on console. To the point that I've had to just walk away from some multiplayer games or multiplayer aspects of games. Then there's the needless software for EVERYTHING. Have a different branded mouse keyboard and headset? Have fun downloading/updating three different softwares for all three lol. And that's if the software decides to work and not resource hog your ram. And let's not ignore just how bad PC games are optimized. The amount of times I felt stupid with top of the line consumer grade PC components just for a new game to come out that makes it feel like my system is chugging are too numerous to count. You can only powerhouse your way through bad optimization so far. I can definitely say one thing for sure: I've absolutely spent more time in my games actually playing on console then when I was mainly a PC gamer. I was always having to mess with something on pc. Either yet ANOTHER software update, fiddling with in game settings, trying to fix things overlooked by devs with mods, avoiding hackers, ect.

I want to upgrade firstly my CPU, because I need a little more power for some stuff I do, other than playing games.

PC gaming doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive. I'm currently waiting on a couple of ebay auctions to finish up as I'm bidding on used ram, a cpu and a gpu. I'm going to get the rest new (I feel like a new and brand name ssd and psu is worth it). I already have the peripherals as I use my laptop mostly like a desktop anyways, and do some light gaming/emulation with it. I'm estimating my final cost for my pc will be between 300 and 500 dollars, or roughly equivalent to a play station, and my goal setup (ryzen 5 3600/5600 and rx6600) should be a solid gaming machine.

[@JD99-zj3gq]

> "PC gaming doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive." Indeed. 60% on Steam play at 1080p resolution, buying an expensive RTX 4080 or 4090 would be a total waste of money.

[@ccramit]

Was a console gamer for most of my life. Bought a PC in 2021 when PS5's were super scarce. Yeah, paid the pandemic premium for it but I'm not buying a PC every year so it was worth it. I cannot imagine going back. PC is just way more versatile, Sony is porting some of their titles over, and I can play everything released on Xbox. Not to mention I'm into sim racing and it's just so much easier on PC with way more titles. Though, I did miss out on Gran Turismo 7, which was a favorite series of mine. If you have the money, go with a PC. I can't imagine waiting another 8-10 years to get a performance upgrade from consoles. But then again, games are generally better optimized for consoles because they pretty much have to be to get the most out of it. And you don't have to worry about software/hardware compatability. If you just want power on and play, go with a console. Easy as that.

After almost a year with high end gaming laptop, after I got a PS5 just how much I missed the plug and play nature of consoles, and it just work always run well, and stability was unmatched. I lost count many times some games in my PC library simply refused to launch for no reason after I update something unrelated to gaming someday the game can run amazing and someday it ran like shit. Game that would run stable 60fps on my PS5 would simply struggle to keep it at least or over 60 on my gaming laptop. Oh, and not mention a proper ownership experience, I felt empty on PC with every game went all digital there. I'm probably keep gaming on PC when I want to retro gaming emulation or want to try out some game mods but for serious gaming console is the place to be.

[@JD99-zj3gq]

Your comment is a major joke, because you make the foolish mistake to assume that your gaming laptop reflects all PC gaming machines out there. All PC gaming machines are different, not just when it comes to performance, but also when it comes to features, quality, warranty, etc. My daughter prefers gaming laptops, and never had serious issues with them (she has owned 3 so far), and I know, because is she never had any serious issues, because then she would most definitely ask for my help, considering I've been working in IT for about half my life. But then again, she doesn't by crap laptops like you do. You claim that it was a high end gaming laptop is a joke, when you couldn't get 60fps on all games. It clearly wasn't all that "high-end" as you claim ha! The quality of it was also not very great considering the issues you had, but maybe it was just your incompetence that caused all these issues. > "for serious gaming console is the place to be." You're a total joke. A lot of consoles aren't backwards compatible, so a lot of older games don't work. On a PC you can run even the oldest games without issues, heck a PC can even emulate consoles, and you can even use Linux for gaming. Don't even get me started by modding. When you buy a console game, you're basically stuck with what you get. This is not the case on PC. Not only can you make it run better, but also improve it with either mods or the editing of certain files. And once that PS5 is getting too slow, you;re fucked, while a PC gamer can just upgrade any component of choice. On top of that, consoles ares only useful for gaming, while a PC can literally be used for anything, heck even run a security system for your house, control your remote telescope, or connect MS Flight Simulator with a realistic Boeing 737 cockpit that you built yourself in your basement, if that's your thing. Look at this video "737 Home Cockpit Simulator P3D v5.3 RTX 3090 i9 12900k TESTING THE SIM" .... you can't do that with a console silly kid! Heck, people can even use a their PC to make games, to make mods, to make texture packs, create sound files, etc. You clearly know nothing about PC's... that's for sure, and it was right choice to play on consoles instead, they're made for clueless people like you hehe.

[@shawng4886]

I was lucky enough to get a PS5 at launch. Been a console gamer all my life… Honestly, what irritated me the most is both Sony and Microsoft NOT dropping development on older hardware. I dropped $500 on a PS5 and started feeling ripped for doing so… every damn game I had to choose between quality or performance and that got extremely frustrating. So I bought a top spec pre-built PC(4090/13900KF) a few months ago and my PS5 has been collecting dust… The only game I was honestly playing on my PS5 was Ghost of Tsushima… Being able to play all my PC games on max settings is fucking awesome! I will say there is a definite learning curve to PC and finding out different things all the time… but the sheer performance difference compared to console is pretty crazy… seeing actual ray tracing in games is fucking amazing all while still playing at max settings and hitting 60-100fps in some games! Love this PC! I will say though, the simplicity of console gaming will always stand out and be favored for me. Starting up the PS5 and being in a game and playing in seconds is amazing. Plus the UI difference! Console is simplicity. PC is freedom. Both have their “things”. I’ll probably turn on my PS5 again when Wolverine drops! Till then, I’m enjoying my PC too much!

The initial outlay is steep if you have nothing to start with, but if you do it’s not that bad. Bout as expensive as buying a console every 8 years. but one year you may spend £100 on ram. Another 5-6 years couple £100 on a graphics card. You don’t need the latest stuff, just as long as you have a fairly decent mid way jump from min requirements you’re good.

Game pass is the way to go imo with the xbox X/S it has been a way to save money on gaming.
