is pc gayming a meme to scam morons out of their disposable income or has stockholm syndrome destroyed their brainlet minds?
good luck downloading a porn collection with your Xbox.
I can check my email on a computer too. Not that I want to, I fucking hate email.
Also I don't have to pay full price for games on PC.
Microsoft is probably also selling those consoles at a loss.

Using an old pre-built cpu with a 1060 and not expecting it to Stutter worse than a retard
Pcfags are truly disgusting
Henry Wilson
But a high end computer 2 years ago is still much better than newest console today.
And you don't really need to buy new parts to play new games unless it's meme and/or terrible optimized games. In most case you just need to lowered the setting to get good fps.
Meanwhile you literally can't play PS3 game on PS4 although the PS4 has better specs.

>a thousand dollar pc two years ago would've been high end, but it's barely mid range today You're kidding, right? You can build a mid-range PC for $800 or so that beats current consoles. The extra $200 to reach your $1000 budget would net you a quite high end GPU. Also inflation...
The only real issue is that mining cryptocurrencies is so profitable right now that you can't get cards at MSRP. HOWEVER, that really doesn't matter since you can just mine some Eth or something for a month or two and make back that extra cost (and then some) pretty damn quickly. The ROI is real right now if you want to take advantage of it.
>needing to spend a thousand dollars on new pc parts to match a 500 dollar console
If it wasn't for the crypto rage I could beat an XboneX for $600 or so, but I'd spend a little more just so the system could be reasonably upgraded in the future without having to buy, say, a new PSU or motherboard. $800 will net you a system that beats the XboneX, plus you can upgrade it later if you desire, plus multiplayer is free, plus Steam sales beat every other platform.

It's just a little overbudget (58$), but only because I'm including both Windows ($90) and WiFi card ($35). If you're not a dumbass you'll pirate Windows, and not everyone needs a WiFi card on a desktop if they already have a router/switch with an extra port.

If you're going to chose a game console as the primary purpose of entertainment, why would you chose the Xbone X? The PS4 and Nintendo Switch have a better selection of games and is capable of doing the same multimedia shit as the Xbone X.

Asher Campbell
Pc without games are boring
Bentley Brooks
Kek no. A thousand dollars PC from 5 years ago (before ps4 and xbone) like sandy bridge + R9 290x was and still is more powerful than any console.
Since then PC have went orders of more than twice as poweful than that but that PC was better than the consoles even before they existed and still is better.
Its simply that the new PCs got even better but the consoles never did.
Brody Young
It is a meme. Sell your gaymen PC, buy a Thinkpad and an Xbox One X and enjoy gaming in 4K while using your PC for pursuits of masculinity.

The only people that don't like VR are those who get motion sickness; have never tried it but are afraid of the future, or are too poor and can't afford one.

As somebody who runs 4k on monitor and vr, a gtx 1080 is just about good enough imo.
Personally anybody with similar needs, ie 4k 60fps and vr shouldnt settle for anything less than very close to 1080 performance, id obviously suggest a 1080ti if you want serious 4k and vr with super sampling.
Logan Bell
Of course, of course.
Aiden Robinson
The thing is that more games are being made for VR than the Kinect. Also, a bunch of different hardware manufactures exist to improve VR, so if one company fails, another company can release a better one. VR is much better than traditional gaming because you, yes you are inside the game. It is much better and more immersive than buying 3 monitors or a expensive curved display.
Nathaniel Hernandez
And this, obviously. When is the NextBox coming out? Or will it be a PlayStation 5?

Also, don't forget if you buy a XBOX, or PS4, or soon a Nintendo Switch, you have to pay to play online. Also, remember when you had to pay for XBOX Live to watch Netflix? Good times. If I want to play online on Steam, then I don't have to pay online. Why should I pay for internet and the ability to play online? I should only have to pay for the internet to play online and on the PC that is how things work.
>paying 60 bucks for a year of XBOX Live >paying full price for a game instead of getting a huge discount on the Humble Bundle or Steam >No mods
Wyatt Perry
>mining instead of trading Brainlet. Enjoy your red digits. Leave the mining to the companies with the huge that will blow your home hobbyist rig out of the water.
Robert Nelson
And even if you played on Linux there would basically be more games on Steam+Package manager (never mind emulators, in browser etc) than on an average current console.
Henry Stewart
nowadays the X1X is like 400 dlls these days, usually 450 or so bundled with some extra shit
Matthew Price
You forgot >Don't have to pay for games Between all the games you can pirate, will be able to pirate, and can emulate, the fact you get to play so many games for free quickly makes up for the extra cost. On the other hand, PC gamers are obviously cancerous since they popularized disgusting business tactics such as digital distribution, DLC, micro transactions, early access, games being released unfinished/buggy to the point of being unplayable since they can just be updated later "thanks" to digital distribution, and not being able to own a copy of the game you pay for which is an inherent part of digital distribution.
Kayden Lee
>> a thousand dollar pc two years ago would've been high end, but it's barely mid range today >> needing to spend a thousand dollars on new pc parts to match a 500 dollar console
Both these statements are plain false. A truly high-end PC, however, will certainly cost more than a console. Did you ever ask yourself why, though? Isn't it that MAYBE a PC lets you do a lot more than playing games?
Justin Scott
Also, the PC can run emulators for almost every console under the sun or retro computer. You can even play Breath of The Wild in 4K. Want to mod the game? PC you can do that too.
Christopher Cook
Its also an inherent part of digital distribution that it doesn't cost $10+ to get a game into stores, and it doesn't cause furniture full of discs. People were long able to buy physical media but chose not to.
It's also maybe becuase you opted for a high end PC. Nobody said you can't build something as cheap and weak as a console for $350 or so instead of doing a nice $1k build.
Kayden Evans
I don't actually mine, just looking to trigger some gamerfag basement dwellers who can't afford a single GPU. Pool mining can be profitable if you pick the right crypto and actually cash out USD.
Ethan Harris
> a thousand dollar pc two years ago would've been high end, but it's barely mid range today Isn't the first Xbox One barely managing 900p 30fps in new games?
Gabriel Gomez
desu when I got my first PC setup I spent £350 this was just before ps4 / xbone release. I could run everything at low / medium on an apu. After like 6 months I got a gpu since I couldn't run bf4 so that put my spend up to £500 and I am still using the same machine today and can run most thing in at least high with a framerate above 60. If you factor in how much I would have spent for Xbox live or whatever over these 5 years that easily covers the price of the GPU I bought so I essentially spent the same as a console but got a much better device. Also keyboard and mouse is a much better way of controlling vidya but I guess thats subjective. On top of that most people will buy a PC and a console if you get a custom rig you solve the problem for both of those in one device. I would say consoles are a meme. Especially if they didn't bring out any exclusive
Owen Morales
>Its also an inherent part of digital distribution that it doesn't cost $10+ to get a game into stores Online shopping is a thing now, and even with the cut that Steam gets, it would be cheaper to print physical copes that don't use an online service and sell them on your own store or Amazon. Since they cut out having to make an actual product and cut out the brick and mortar stores, games should be at least 25% cheaper, but they aren't. That was a straw man argument anyways, its not about how much they make, what matters is that the paying customer shouldn't get screwed. >it doesn't cause furniture full of discs Discs take up an insignificant amount of space, if the small amount of space they take up is that much of a concern then you should use your video game time on making more money. Also, with a proper physical release such as the Witcher games, once you install them from the disc you can sell them and the person that buys them will be able to install, play, and sell just like you did. Even if they did take up a significant amount of space, which they don't, it's a small price to pay to not get fucked. The only "advantage" digital has is convenience. I have never and will never pay for any type of digitally distributed media, and I have gotten several people close to me to stop paying for it too and to just pirate instead. Even if you aren't willing to pay for a physical copy, why not just pirate?
Sebastian Hernandez
vr is pretty exciting desu when I get my next piece of student loan I'm gonna save like 1.5k of it to drop on one of the next federation headsets, I feel like getting in now is way to early for it to be anymore than a gimmick but I have high expectations for the next generation of headsets and games which come along with those

How much I spent on consoles:

>Total spent on just the consoles and service (excluding peripherals): $1900
How much I spent on PC:
- First gaymin PC in 2007 (8800 GT, Core 2 Duo E6750, 8GB DDR2; case/psu/mobo/etc.): $900 - Upgrade to Q9550 and GTX 260 in late 2008: $500 - Upgrade to GTX 470 in early 2010: $300 - Upgrade to i5 2500k (new socket, IE: basically second gaymin PC), new mobo, 16GB DDR3, GTX 680 in mid 2012: $900+ - Upgrade to GTX 970 mid 2015: $300 - Upgrade to i5 6600k (new socket again, IE: third PC) new mobo/16GV DDR4 in late 2015: $450
>Total spent on just gaming PC (excluding peripherals): $3350
Wish I could just go back and stick with consoles. All that money and my PC was never more than a midrange 1080p machine.

A 1080 can barely do 4k kiddo, and spending 500 dollars alone on the gpu when a whole console does the same thing for 500 is sad

>1060 then u say it's more like an r9 290x,
290x is the old king of GPUs 1060 is the new peasant. 290x is generally a little bit faster than 480 or 1060 so no contradiction here.
Aaron Rodriguez
Ate you retarded? It'll run on 60fps+ in any game, unlike cinematic 24fps of xbone, because only 60 fps can be considered fine, unlike what consoletoddlers thinks.
