PC vs consoles

PC vs consoles
is like
English vs other languages

Sure, you can't enjoy every book in existence if you only speak English and can't read country-exclusive titles in their entire glory.

But you can bet your ass that the vast majority of the knowledge and scientific papers on earth are written in English. And all big or small classics get translated in English. (I guess this is what we call emulation) And it is spoken on almost the entire earth.

Same with PCs. ALL games are programmed on computers. You want the biggest library of games? Get PCs. You want the biggest library of knowledge and content? Learn English AND get a PC.

PCs are inferior to consoles

>can do everything a console can plus a fuck ton more

Are they?

Even old games still have communities.
You enjoyed Doom 2 in your childhood? You can find THOUSANDS of new maps and new stuff is still being made.

You enjoyed a certain SNES game in your childhood? Unless you get a PC there is no way you will ever see new mods/content. And there are thousands of hacked SNES games that require a PC.

Not relevant to gaming

>Playing old games in 2017
>What is Virtual Console / Playstation Classics?

Fuck old games, that's everything a PC can, play old boring games.
Consoles are the future you fat NEET fuck

Makes sense to me but also

>American english
Laptop or office computer

>English
Gaming Pc.

>not playing old games

If you like movies so damn much, just watch fucking movies.

Have zero games so you have to crowdfund a company to emulate games from our 11 year old console, all the while buying our peripherals to play games on.

Master race.

>zero games
Is this what idiots actually believe?

I'm just loading up Bloodborne, wanna jump on with me? Maybe we can do some shareplay?

What games do you play on PC?

Consoles are computers you dumb drone

Have fun playing RTS or FPS games with a fucking controller.

>not using a mouse to look around

How so?

PC's get no good AAA exclusives
Only exclusives I play on my PC are Arma 3 and insurency

Yeah dude I love playing Counter Strike and old RTS games! :)

There's these weird things called multiplats, which is what a lot of people on ps4,xbone and PC play
Nobody plays exclusives only. PC doesn't have much exclusives though except gay shit like Dota and csgo

>Not having a PC and at least 2 consoles

Why?

You're twice as dumb as you stupid analogy is, you fat cuck. There are objective reasons why both are good.
Console gaming is more 'stable', PC gaming is more powerful and scalable. PC has the ultimate backwards comparability, but the amount of people that play shitloads of games from the previous console generation, tend to be minute. If the game is multiplatform, and you care about graphics get PC. If you care about stability and knowing your game will run without problems, get a console. It's not a zero sum game though.

>english
>not the worst and most easy language

lmao burger

Why do you hate old games so much?

Some people actually play games for the gameplay and not for the graphics.

You love playing shittier versions of multiplat fps with controller though

LMAOing at your life, shooterboi. I bet you play Minecraft too.

i enjoy pc games and have a ps4.

i regularly buy pc games on sale and pirate pc games and all my ps4 games are used and my ps4 was bought used so fuck ya'll

My ancient laptop can play those games.
Why own a gamer PC?

I said only exclusives. I also play these magic things called multiplats. Fuck Minecraft

Getting a game for 50$ is far better than pirating it in 5 minutes, right? Which leads me to the biggest argument for PCs: Most of it is fucking free or as free as you want it to be. You like a game? You can pay for it. You don't like it? Delete it. You don't have that freedom with fucking consoles.

And this is what PCs are: Total, absolute freedom.

60 fps in multiplats
Bloodborne was almost unplayable for me and das3 at 60 felt a lot better

"AAA exclusive" is usually another way of saying "something void of gameplay that's meant to cater to the masses who don't actually play game but would rather watch a movie."

The only exception to this I can think of would be Bloodborne. Though PC still gets all the multiplat AAA titles only the versions that PC are all exclusive in the way that they can have better graphics and can be customized to suit any machine within the requirement range.

>don't be a NEET
>afford games easily
What was the problem again?

I just don't care enough to invest in my pc anymore when my pro works just fine.

I'm this guy
I own a PC just saying it barely has exclusives, only console game I own right now is bloodborne

Even if you put english at #1 and you started at #6, the sheer number of people that speak Portuguese is still enough to make you statement fucking stupid.

I'm not even trying to shit talk I'm a pkek but if you look at PC exclusives it's just shit like Dota and civ which I'm not interested in

What a surprise, you didn't list any games you play on PC.

As per all of these threads.

English has fucking backward compatibility, idiot.

You can go to Africa and China and some of them will understand you just fine.

None of them would fucking know Portuguese.

Soo no games mentioned

dif. guy, but you look more retarded by the minute

So you're not gonna mention any games then?

Not him but if you want exclusives
Gmod
Dayz (broken but fun)
Star citizen (I want to believe)
Arma 3

Das2/3
Rocket league
Chivalry
Rb6 siege
Killing floor 2
Dishonored 2
Bamham knight
Shadow of Mordor
Dead rising 3
Darksiders 1/2
Witcher 3
I could.go on, I enjoy games regardless of platform

That's not what backwards compatibility is you fucking mongoloid. Backwards compatibility is being able to read older shit that was released in your language. I can tell you've never left your fucking country because if you had, you know that the percentage of Chinese people that can understand English is infinitesimally small. As for African countries, they'll understand you if English is the countriy's national language. You'll notice that chart says "English Speakers" not "English speakers in 'not-Africa.'"

>If you care about stability and knowing your game will run without problems, get a console
This really doesn't hold any truth anymore though, devs are constantly butchering console releases and they run anything but stable these days.

consoles are inferior to PCs (in every way possible)

>playing games at 4K 60fps while consolefags are locked to 720p up-sampled with 30fps (if they are lucky)
>not relevant
pick one

>Sure, you can't enjoy every book in existence if you only speak English and can't read country-exclusive titles in their entire glory

>But you can bet your ass that the vast majority of the knowledge and scientific papers on earth are written in English

So consoles are better for entertainment and PCs are better for science. Nice. But this board is not about science. So according to your analogy on this board consoles are the master race.

In order to settle the debate once and for all, Dalaran University conducted a study, and from that study, an indisputible hierarchy of the most popular gaming platforms was carefully constructed. The study demonstrated that a person's chosen console is directly linked to their intelligence level and social status. Evidently, as all people are not equal, the same applies to consoles. And to purchase a personal computer for the purpose of "gaming" is demonstrably folly in the highest degree; the act of a true fool.

The hierarchy is as follows:
Rank 1 (God). PS4 -- Ownership of a PS4 demonstrates superior intelligence and a refined taste for quality games.
Rank 2 (Nobility). Previous versions of the PS console; PS1/2/3. Intelligent enough to choose the superior brand, but only a casual gamer or a younger person without the money for an upgrade.
Rank 3 (Peasant). Any Xbox or Wii variants. Inclined towards religious devotion to Microsoft, or simple games that require physical exertion and repetition. This group thrives in an authoritarian atmosphere where very little thinking is required.
Rank 4 (Village Idiot). Gaming PCs. Controlled tests suggest a strong tendency for obsessive behaviour and stubbornly held, emotionally driven opinions in the face of fact-driven criticism and logic.

*Note: The feudal ranking system was chosen for aesthetic reasons, and you could also interpret it in terms of intelligence level; Rank 4 being the most unintelligent, and rank 1 being the most intelligent. Rank 4 has a maximum IQ of about 80 points, disregarding the outliers. For each Rank higher, add 20 points. Note, however, that Rank 1 has no maximum, only a minimum, so it's not unusual for a person of that rank to exceed IQ levels of 200+. In fact, it's quite common..

To a point. The point still stands though.

...

A thread was killed for this waste of fucking space.

Well no not really, with PCs you at least can fix such issues, same game on consoles and you are fucked.
And if your excuse is that most games run fine on consoles without issues, so do most games on PC so it's not really something you can count as consoles pros.

Consoles feel like a relic of the 80's/90's. There used to be a ton of incompatible computers but IBM clones took over the market and everything became compatible. Even Macs are x86 now. Huge, disruptive format wars in enetertainment are pretty rare now, with the exception of HDDVD and BluRay, but even then most people played it safe and released content for both, and they were even working on players that could play both. Almost all mobileshit is some spin of Android except for iOS. Generally everything drifts towards some sort of open or at least somewhat open and common standard to streamline development, except for consoles.

Patches do exist for console games too. It's also not unhead of that a PC port is worse than the console versions.

...

>What a surprise, you didn't list any games you play on PC.
>As per all of these threads.

What is the fucking point? Literally the only consolefag argument against PC exclusives is that entire fucking GENRES somehow just don't count

So why would anyone bother anymore?

So a PC exclusives list is

>unreleased scam citizen
>indie tier graphics
>multiplatforms
>only one game that actually deserves a good gaming PC

I believe you could go on baiting people. At least mention interesting upcoming PC titles like Routine.

You asked what games I play and I told you, if multiplats don't count then what do you play other than bloodborne?
I also play Bloodborne on my ps4

>PC vs consoles
I've got both and don't give a shit about your opinion

Wait a sec are you trying to cheat me again?

Not only you are dumb enough to start yet another console war but you are also a retarded amerifat

Speaking about languages, you know that in other countries books and other papers are translated too?
Do you also understand how different is to read some watered translation instead of the original work in language? I can't even imagine reading Divina Commedia in English

I hate sharing this board with people like you

lol k

Only thing it cannot do is play current games. I challenge any of you PCcucks to name 5 PC exclusives from recent past years.

really mellows the jello

Every FPS multiplat is a PC exclusive. Hell even console-exclsuive FPS are dramatically better on PC, Goldeneye is 1000x more fun with the m+kb injector.

Planet Coaster
Pamela
Pillars of Eternity
Routine
Total Warhammer

>multiplat
>PC exclusive
are you retarded?

>playing FPS with a controller
Are you?

>hurrdurr there are no PC games
>enjoy pong xD

Bitch there are hundreds or even thousands fucking GEMS that you can not find on consoles. Just stop being a casual underage faggot.

>ALL games are programmed on computers
Except the ones that aren't on PCs faggot. Ni-Oh, Horizon Zero Dawn, FFXV, Katamari, Bloodborne, All Tekken games except the newest one (Which isn't even out) all of Nintendo's titles, Newest Halo games, Gears of War, Kingdom Hearts, Uncharted, All MGS except 2 and 5, Sly Cooper, InFamous, FF12, Gran Turismo, Forza, Killzone, and Red Dead Redemption are all not on PC you dumb fuck. Meanwhile all the PC Exclusives can be ran on shitty 200 dollar laptops yet people buy 1000 dollar PCs. PC Gaming is the biggest meme looking at price to usage ratio, and I'm posting from my 1000 dollar rig btw.

Lastly, the "biggest library of games" is also a meme. There are tons of games on steam that aren't compatible with newer operating systems. I bought Fallout 3 for 5 dollars on sale and it doesn't even work with Windows 7 properly. It takes a long time to configure it right and then it still just crashes randomly. Literally unplayable. Let this post serve as a daily reminder that PC Gaming is a meme and nothing more.

Console fags are so ignorant it hurts.

Look there are thousands of fine gam-
>OOOOLD!

there are entire genres like RTS or FPS...
>That doesn't count!

Well there are MMORPGs... how are you going to play them on a console?
>That doesn't count!

You can emulate almost all generations except the current one and the one before it!
>Emulators are shit!

Look if you dislike keyboard and mouse, there are many fine controllers you can hook up to your PC!
>REEEE, MUH EXCLUSIVES

This. The most noteworthy exclusives of PCs are Civilization, DotA, Stellaris, and a bunch of meme indie shit. All of these can run on laptops.

While I agree with your point, the motherboard problem is your own stupidity. If you buy a cheap motherboard or one that requires a bios flash for your CPU, you deserve to have no peecee.

Soooo... old games, mmos and mobas. Into the trash

PC gaming is usually not worth it.
It performs best if you waste enough money to make it so, but you can get a console for a third of the price and have perfectly playable video games with physical releases.
PCs are mostly irrelevant for everyday use unless you need one for your job. Smartphones do anything you need them to, even for shitposting and emulators for old consoles and handhelds.
PC has no good exclusives anymore. People like use old games like Baldur's Gate as examples but you don't even need a gaming PC for those, and that's like a sonybro padding his PS4 exclusives list with ps1-3 games.
It's safe to say that from 2013 to today, PS4 has been a superior gaming device to PC

>Be console fag.
>waste thousands of dollars on games
>be PC fag
>get everything for free

Why do you hate money so much?

There's at least a dozen entire genres that flat out cannot work on consoles so you'll never actually know what those games are like.

Many of them are indeed sim, civ and building type games though so if that's not something you're interested in, I guess you're not missing out.

PS4 is objectively a horrible gaming device though, pretty much every game has broken framepacing or vsync issues. From a technical standpoint the PS4 is a complete disaster, so much so that if you watch Digital Foundry videos they sometimes recommend the Xbone version instead. Xbone has worse graphics but Microsoft has its shit together with performance and the games don't feel like a stuttery mess.

Woah I have a job and can pay for entertainment WOOOW

>spend $2000 on PC for free games
>no multiplayer
>buy 90% of games anyway

And you could make the same generalisations about console exclusives.

So all you're left with at that point is the 90% of AAA games that are actually relevant being multiplats that run and look better on PC while having free online

>2000$ meme
You can build a decent rig with 600$ that lets you play 90% of all new games with 1080p with a decent framerate.

>paying for internet
>free online
???

>You don't need a gaming PC for these games!
How is this even an argument? Shouldn't it be a positive that PC games are so scalable, and PC is pay what you want instead of console where it's one size fits all? The fact that a game can be played on a laptop doesn't make it not a PC game. And the fact that so many great old games are playable on modern PC's either out of the box, or with a bit of tweaking, is also a good thing. Are the people who say this just console warriors mad that the PS4 doesn't have real backwards compatibility?

My guess is that a shitty laptop doesn't count as a gaming device to some. So having access to those old games without having to invest on a gaming PC helps rationalize the purchase of a console, since PC's best games are old while all the new and relevant games are on console as multiplats or console exclusives

Pic related really sums it up better then anything else

Whatever. Enjoy your $600 mistake when you realise you should have bought a PS4, a device built solely for games, and with games that are actually made primarily for a controller.

Mouse + keyboard + business chair vs. lazy couch gaming. And even if you try playing your PC with a 360 controller it's still fucking shit.

>there are no controllers for the PC
You can LITERALLY plug in xbox or ps3 controller into your PC and play whatever you want with it. There is a sweet, little program called motionjoy that lets you play EVERY PC game with a controller.
>muh couch, there are no wireless keyboards or mice, you can't connect your PC to your TV
Wrong again. I've ditched my PC monitor and been playing on my big TV screen for years. From my couch or bed. No business chair.

Confirmed for knowing nothing about PCs.

>b-but you play with a controller on a TV, you are already a console fag. Why not buy a console?
Why did you buy a overpriced PC? All consoles are just shitty PCs. The controller argument is garbage too, since the PC has thousands of different controllers.

PC
>word processor
>email
>internet browser
>music player
>movie/TV show player

A console is a toy, it would be completely redundant to buy one. With a desktop I can do literally everything I need except make phone calls, and I have a phone for that. Who would spend hundreds of dollars on a machine that can only play games?

The reason I sold my PS4 was because the console exclusives offered were garbage. Horizon, Bloodborne, some anime crap. Woah. All at 30 fps. The only thing for me that looked interesting was uncharted. I played it but at 30fps it's horrendous.

GTA V, Witcher 3 and others were all vastly superior and more fluid on PC. Not to mention the mods.

Some exclusives.
Total War series. Attila, Shogun 2
Company of Heroes 2
Rising Storm
Men of war Assault squad 2


Probably biggest exclusive is fps over 25.

A lot of PC exclusives are strategy or games along the lines of Star Citizen but I vastly prefer them to crap like Horizon 0/10 Dawn.

Whatever. Keep being a faggot then.

I seriously doubt PC games can be played with a controller as well as console games can, unless a lot has changed recently. That 3rd party software you mentioned is still just third party software.

Also, enjoy competing against mouse + keyboard players in online multiplayer and getting rekt faggot.
