Is there literally any reason to get a console over a PC anymore?

>B-but consoles are cheaper than PCs!

If you understand simple economics, you'll realise that the cost of paid online adds up over time.


>PCs have no exclusives! Where's Uncharted? Halo? The Last of Us?

Where are strategy games? RTS games? Flight sims? City builders? MOBAs? MMOs besides Destiny? Any game predating 2013?


>Consoles have split screen multiplayer!

Split screen is dying. For Honour and Halo 5 didn't have it, and there are very few modern games that do.


Seriously, is there any reason to get a console anymore, other than laziness?

They are good for Jamal and Tyrone who just want to play a few minutes of Fifa before they head out to the club.

same reason you'd get a PC: if there are games on it you want to play

Stick to your COD underage, these games actually require brain usage.

Sure, but I only play single player (Japanese) games. Yes really.

Checkmate PCists.

Although technically I have a laptop that I play old VNs and Falcom games on.

If you want to dig up corpses go to a graveyard.

The games I play do.

>Seriously, is there any reason to get a console anymore, other than laziness?

I enjoy motion controls and games that use them well. I like to play video games with people in person. I like to play JRPGs when they're released. None of these things prevent me from using my PC if I want to walk through a mausoleum.

Do you even know what enjoyment and fun means?

You just buy whatever has games that you want to play. I don't know why is that such a difficult concept for some people.

Exclusives you fucking retard. Is 200 dollars really too much to play some games that are never ever gonna be on PC? It costs more for a fucking mirror on my car. Video games are cheap as fuck. There's no reason not to own every console if there's games on them you want to play.

Anyone got that meme pic from Mad Men

PC: I feel bad for you
PS4: I don't think about you at all

Mobas are the lowest form of entertainment. They actually require less skill than watching a TV show. And there are 0 good MMOs, they're fucking all trash.

There are only games for it because the platform exists, and they are bought through one or the other way to be on that platform by the owners of the platform to make you buy said platform. That consoles are always the worst platform to enjoy said game on since they can not run 80% to a satisfactory degree let alone being customizable (which is what creates longevity) is not important for you brats.
You kids fail to see the bigger picture because you are shortsighted intellectually lazy human garbage.

A bunch of shit.

> Is there literally any reason to get a console over a PC anymore?
-I use consoles and their ecosystems to play games.
-I use PC for everything else.
That's all there is to it in its most simplistic form and I don't need any other justification.

But if I had to make some shit up I'd say I don't care about installing shitty middleware on my high-end computer (Steam, Uplay, Origin, Blizzard's launcher, random launchers like LoL's, etc), to me it feels completely backwards as I grew up on PC gaming around 1995-2002 where I barely remember any launchers, I simply installed a game and it was there. All of this crap that (if you are a frequent PC gamer) will boot up whenever you turn on your PC and then everyone will know you're online on Steam/Discord/whatever and start bothering you on chat windows (unless you show as Offline, and then manually turn it on multiple times per day, I guess) is alien and a discomforting feeling for me.
Consoles also require zero upkeep or research. No need to know which PC parts are a cheap scam, where to buy each of them individually for the best price/performance ratio possible, if their price in inflated at the time, no need to worry about botched launch day console ports (see DarkSouls or Nier:Automata for example) no need to play delayed game (again those two, but also Destiny2 or MosterHunterWorld,etc). I have to constantly worry about drivers/updates/hardware for productivity reasons already, I don't want to also do that just to play games, it would feel like work.
I'm not a graphics or performance whore, even as a PC gamer (at the time) playing splitscreen GoldenEye on a friend's N64 running at a literal 12fps didn't bother me at all. I've also been playing MonHun for the longest time on shitty handheld systems at 240p.

The only things I still play on PC are older games for nostalgia. Settlers3, Mechwarrior2, MechCommander, AoE, Starcraft, Commandos, DungeonKeeper, . Getting into modern PC gaming would disgust me.

>Split screen is dying. For Honour and Halo 5 didn't have it, and there are very few modern games that do.
that's the fault of faggot ass devs and not a problem inherent to consoles themselves.

Pic related is 100% why I own a PS4.

>pc exclusives are for the most part fun killing multiplayer competitive games
>console get Nippon niche game

This.

Consoles are as obsolete as religions.

my only problem with PC is that a lot of the multiplayer games i like barely have people on PC compared to consoles

The whole reason consoles exist is to give console manufacturers an incentive to fund new, original games. If the game makes it to PC and ends up getting mostly pirated, why bother?

If there's no big companies to fund game development we'll get nothing but cheap 2D indieshit in a few years.

Never say ever with emulators
>But that's years away!
So? You happily buy remasters anyway lol

This, there's honestly TOO MANY multiplayer games to play for all of them to be active at once. Similar thinking is also the reason a lot of Steamers have towering backlogs they'll never finish; they just have too many games. They're basically data hoarders.
Meanwhile on console you can find a game in Battlefield or OW in a matter of seconds

>poorfags detected
The irony of calling consolefags kids is that all PCfags do is beg for ports and don't even buy them because they don't have big boy jobs.

As a guy who loves fighting games this is my main problem with PC, i only have an average laptop to pirate or buy on sales some single player games but with multiplayer i will always prefer consoles, mobas are shit, PUBG is a shit streamer game and CS:GO cheaters just destroyed the game for me

I mean, I like switch because it's portable. And local play is a pain in the ass on pc, and I'm sorry that I like to sit next to the person I'm interacting with.

Otherwise totally agree.
I had such autism rage when Bloodborne never came to PC.

Why do third worlders who can't afford a console and underage kids whose mommy won't buy them a console so the next best thing they have is an underpowered laptop for studying feel the need to justify their poverty all the time?

I'm a PC gamer first but sadly you can only play some games without worrying about cheaters/hackers on your online multiplayer especially with FPS games there will be aimbots and wallhackers. not even VAC can stop most of them. lol. So, at the end of the day you can only play most MOBA (League of Legend/Dota 2 games or Hearthstone because those 3 games are "Heavily Server Sided Games" even GTA V for PC is already massively flooded by modders. So in reality PS4 is the best option for gaming today. You'll get to experience the best with PS4 for online multiplayer experience, with a massive online community along with bunch of exclusives only available to PS4. Until PC gets a Global Ultimate Anti-Cheat System for most of it's online multiplayer and cheaper prices it will always be 2nd fiddle to consoles.

No one cares
