What reason is there to get a console in 2017? This generation alone PC got
Tales of series Atelier series Toukiden series Disgaea series Final Fantasy series Dragon Quest series Persona series Danganronpa series Yakuza Bayonetta Vanquish Nights of Azure God Eater Nier Automata Trillion God of Destruction Moero Chronicles Senran Kagura Neptunia series Earth Defense Force Sword Art Online series Valkyrie Drive Ys series ALL xbox one games Zelda breath of the wild Probably some other shit that I forgot
So tell me Sup Forums, why would you ever get a console over a PC?
Everything is digital. It might not be a big deal to most people, but I can't give up on physical media yet.

Plug and play ease
Tyler Brown
>plug in ps4 >system update >an hour later put in disc >game needs to update >2 hours later finally get to play >have to pay PS+ subscription
okay
Landon Cooper
Uhhh piracy doesn't count
Oliver Russell
Not him but installing windows and then all of your drivers and then the games you want to play is probably more painful
Noah Hall
Yakuza.
Thomas Clark
bloodborne is worth a ps4
Robert Smith
>plug in system >two hours of things that get done automatically >pay for an optional service, or don't
It's still easier than PC, which is what many consumers want.

Christian Price
why not have a console AND a pc?
Aiden Robinson
Awards don't mean shit. By that logic Fallout 4 is better than Bloodborne
Brandon Johnson
>install windows >everything from there on is automatic wow user, you sure showed me
Jose Gomez
>all these "great" titles on pc >primarily a pc gamer and bought one of them >haven't played more than 3 hours on it in the last month what a time to be alive.

It's certainly not as easy as a console. It's much easier than before, but don't make it seem like it's not something an average consumer wouldn't be intimidated by.

Why buy a console though?

For games you can't buy on PC, duh.

You're literally insulting your own intellegence by saying that
Jayden Harris
>paid online And what online games would you exactly play on consoles which you can't on PC?
Robert Bennett
Like what?
Cameron Gray
Sorry what? I gave a realistic experience for starting to PC gaymen. You can go out and buy a console at your local supermarket electronics section, go home and plug it in and everything will be done automatically. Buying a PC from your local supermarket will net you an extremely weak PC for the money you spend.
Carter Walker
PC costs a lot.
Xavier Murphy

Wyatt Lewis
Yakuza or Project Diva. Or Sony first party games such as Gravity Rush.
Juan Powell
No, It's another reason not to buy a console.
Jayden Hall
You forgot trails of nothing personnel
Colton Thomas
PS4 exclusives Not waiting an excessive amount of time to play these games More people have a PS4 over a PC to play these games Larger communities in some cases like MH World
I have a PC and enjoy it. I also have a PS4 and enjoy it. I don't have to really choose or wait, having only one is the only dumb choice.
The Switch is legit useless though, since it has no games and is still sporting garbage hardware.
Brody Baker
> Weeb rhythm game
You may have a point with interesting exclusives like Yakuza 0 and Gravity Rush 2.
James Jones
Project Diva might not be a system sell, but it's definitely worth once you have the system.
WHY DOES EVERY CHARACTER WALK ONTO THE SCENE WITH THEIR FUCKING EYES CLOSED, LIKE OPEN YOUR EYES YOU FUCKING RETARDS, LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING
Grayson Taylor
exclusives, of course. not going to wait 7 years for vanquish to get a port.
Oliver Garcia
The main reason is because you know any game will work perfectly, all a developer has to do is test the game on one console and it works on them all.
You cannot say the same for PC.
Asher Scott

Matthew Ortiz
There's one localized Yakuza game on PS4, next one is getting released next week, other one releases next year and yet another one is getting announced this Saturday in Japan. Even if they'll really bring Yakuza game on PC (which I doubt with current Sega), you'll be missing out on certain games in the series.
Jonathan Carter
Promises aren't the same as them being on their. Why wait on something that may never happen, and when it does, it will be several years later?
Sorry to break it to you, but not all of us want to wait for a port or beg for one to play the games that we desire. I play mainly on PC too, I'm just not a retard that waits for emulation/ports to play old ass games.
The only exception is when the game performs awfully or can be heavily modded, like Dragon's Dogma or Dark Souls 1, otherwise most games dont need ports.
William Cruz
You only need to do this once. Steam takes care of all your needs.
Nathaniel Brown
I'll just play online on PC for free thanks.
Levi Evans
This isn't exactly the case anymore. Many games are released broken with intentions to be fixed in patches. It's a shit ass anti consumer practice, and it's effecting PC and consoles instead of just one.

Adrian Bell
Steam is also digital only, it will take longer to start any game on steam than just putting in a disk or updating a console on occasion
Lincoln Miller
How do you lose 'exclusives' that are multiplats?

It's kinda sad seeing you clinging on it like this.
Logan Flores
Are you retarded? Do you not know how to check on a source? It's not pcgamer that said they want to port this shit on PC, they are citing a source. A source that they openly mention in the article.
Lucas Lewis
Reminder that Sega in the west makes more money of PC games than consoles games.
Julian Roberts
>paying for internet twice
Leo Rivera
If you weren't poor you wouldn't have to wait for these games to "maybe" come to your platform "eventually". You could just play them now. Y0 and Kiwami run at 1080p 60fps and persona 5 is a turn based RPG so it doesn't matter. Think about it. You could have already played them and I'd go so far as to say that if you cared about these franchises in the first place you'd already have a PS4.
Lucas Rogers
why not? everyones being fucked in the ass by ISPs anyway.

Having all consoles, handhelds and a solid PC with multiple monitors is the ultimate setup.

actually I am glad that it puts people off from psn/xbl in the same way that you had to buy your own mic on ps3
Dominic Ortiz
Your list makes me wonder if there is any reason to get a PC in this day and age, when all of its games are console ports. Sure, a console game costs a bit more than a PC game, but then again the console is far cheaper than a recent PC, even if you buy some kind of office tier HP prebuilt your'e going to spend around 300-400€, when a PS4 costs 200€.
I honestly barely ever use my PC, unless I want to either emulate some older system or shitpost. I have a gaming PC from 3 or so years ago which costed me around 700€, still rocking a 560Ti, i5 3570k, and some good ram & mobo from that time. My PC is less powerful than a PS4 but I see no fucking reason in hell to upgrade, because the only games I enjoyed on this fucking clunker were low requirements games, such as Ori, Shovel Knight, Brothers, Hollow Knight, Soma, and stuff like that, on top of emulation.
Also, the few times I actually BOUGHT the games on PC I regretted it, I bought Tales of Berseria on Steam and it took them A FULL FUCKING MONTH to patch the AI so that your party members weren't completely braindead and actually fought during battles, and this bug wasn't present on the PS4 version. With PC most of the times, games are not ready to be played on release, you always have to deal with some shitty bug or glitch, it's just retarded. On PS4 I never had to deal with any issue and I own like 20 games, most of them multiplats I bought for even cheaper than they were on Steam during PSN sales or second hand. To upgrade my PC and get it to a point it surpasses the PS4 I would need to get a GPU that would cost me more than the PS4 itself, and then I'd probably have to upgrade my PSU as well and waste lots of power to run it, while the slim PS4 peaks at 86W in full load.
PC gaming is the ultimate meme.
Bentley Smith
enjoy your services created/provided by amerilards. including this site.
Nicholas Cook
it takes me about 30 min to reformat my pc and install the drivers. If Im not playing games off the disk, then i probably just have them already installed in an external drive. Worst case is i need to update or redownload a game at 13mbps, so another 5 min.
Jayden Cook
PC: Expensive box for games/work/utility Ps4: Cheap box that plays games
I doubt you would get a 200 dollar pc with the same performance as a ps4 rn
Jason Gutierrez
especially considering what miners are doing to the videocard market, as well as memory prices
Ian Turner
we're talking about a system or PC that is totally fresh. In the scenario where you need to go out and buy, then the console wins out hands down. Price performance the consoles also win. You will not be able to build a PC that can outperform a PS4 for $200.
Oliver Murphy
>B-but muh 1080p60fps
Henry Lee
Kek, Implying you dont have to digitally download your games too, except it takes 4 times as long and they probably dont even come patched. The option of driving to the store to get a disk that you have to download enough updates to make another game isnt making anything faster.
Isaac Harris
You my friend need to learn about the magic of ssds
Nathaniel Edwards
because console still gets those games first. also when I play my normie shit I can actually play with other people. Have you tried to play a call of duty game on PC lately? Either you get a match filled with hackers, or nobody, depending on the time of day.
Jose Reyes
If you're downloading digitally then the game you're downloading is the latest version, this applies to all platforms. If you're buying physical, then the game will be whatever version was available at the time of printing. You don't have to wait for an update to download however, and that also applies to all platforms.
Joseph Anderson
? How desperate are you sonybros that you need to include my time spent purchasing shit from the store? You gonna factor in my gas money while youre at it? I can build a brand new pc and shop for the parts in like an hour time total, Drivers are extremely easy to get ahold of and install, all my games are physical media or already on one of my 6 hdds that would be put into the new pc, If I'm not allowed to have the games I already own, then ok, 5-10 more minutes spent downloading, whatever.
Gabriel Cruz
We're looking at the PC v console startup as an entirely clean slate. You may have special circumstances, but we're considering the viewpoint of a consumer who has never owned a gaming platform. In this case, it's far easier to get started with a console.
Your special circumstances are nice, but they have no bearing on the topic of the thread.
James Clark
>You don't have to wait for an update to download >they use magic to write the data from their servers instead
Moreover, the fact that I don't have to stare at an update screen and can still play games pretty much completely negates any kind of inconvenience that may have ever been presented to me in the first place. Updating is simply a non-factor to pc gamers
William Hill
You don't have to wait for a download to finish to play a game on PS4. This is a fact, and you being ignorant of it doesn't change anything. You can play the game as much as you want, and then let the download happen in the background whenever you finish.
Brandon Perez
>He plays COD
Go play Siege or CS:GO, COD is for 13 year olds
Jaxon Peterson
and tradeskins:GO isn't? siege is just garbage, they haven't fixed any of the lighting issues or fucking crashes on PC so I refuse to play it.
Connor Gonzalez
you guys are absolutely right. If you are poor and retarded, then consoles were literally made for you. We all knew this from the beginning, and you are the majority of the populace. Nobody is surprised, the thread was fun bait.
Benjamin Smith
Woah all those sloppy seconds I already played
laughable
Mason Diaz
>le poor gamer meme
buddy, you sure are spiteful. What is it about PC that pushes people to be so angry?
Gabriel Murphy
>You can play the game as much as you want, and then let the download happen in the background whenever you finish
So what youre saying is, stare at the update screen because you cant play games while an update is going on. Nice dude
Zachary Green
>elder god tier cs source >platinum tier cod mw2 >high end tier battlefield 4 >millennial cosmetics tier csgo, overwatch, pubg

Anthony Robinson
You already played ace combat?
Camden Baker
>retarded you choose game while it's updating, say "launch anyway" and it launches anyway while it continues to download it in the background.
Justin Miller
because i can? why is the thought of spending 300 dollars so horrifying to you faggots? i make that at work in a little over a day
Christian Gray
>except it takes 4 times as long and they probably dont even come patched Most do and it takes 4 times faster than downloading with a console
Hudson Stewart
>a consumer who has never owned a gaming platform. In this case, it's far easier to get started with a console.
This is wrong simply on the basis that said consumer probably already has a computer in their home that they can probably already play games on.
Josiah Butler
there is no lighting or crashing issues on PC, it runs like a dream
Joseph Hernandez
>fallout 4 scored more gotys than mgsv I know the critics were garbage cashuls but this... probably played with reflex too
Charles Williams
it doesn't though, go check out their forums. Just because it works on your machine doesn't mean it's flawless. also extreme money grubbing is pretty gay.
Jason Jenkins
Most people don't own desktops, and those that do own prebuilts that would need serious upgrades in order to play anything that isn't indie games.
Brody Harris
Why do people use low-budget shovelware that even most weebs hate like Gust games and SAO as fuel for platform wars?
Aaron Lopez
How gut is mgsv? I never played any game of that series but picked that game up a week ago, haven't played it yet
Charles Thompson
because it's easy bait
Chase Allen
>most weebs hate like Gust games I've never seen such an obvious newfag like you. You do realize that before atelier sophie people actually defended gust at every turn because the games used to be good?
Xavier Scott
It's a good game, but clearly unfinished. Give it a play, it has easily the strongest, most free form gameplay in the entire series.
Leo Garcia
People still defend Gust at every turn.
Alexander Bennett
What reason is there to go to a resteraunt in 2017? By digging in the dumpster outside, you can get:
Hamburgers Tacos Soups Garlic Bread Steak Fish and Chips French Fries Apples Salads Hot Dogs Pasta Cookies
Tell me, why would you ever pay for good in a restraint when you can dig it out of the dumpster for free?
