This is why PC "gamers" are a fucking joke

What exactly are you implying, OP?

In 2011, I spent almost $5k building a new computer for gaming, yet I've really only been playing Diablo II and Fallout 2 for nearly two decades now.

It's not really about PC gamers, it's just poor personal finance habits.

but the 4k, >9000fps
find a better bait


>$5k
jesus, what did you put inside the machine?

The point is to own such a machine and feel the power it is capable to deliver.

A rig that can max everything is $1k... what the fuck did you spend $5k on?

>jesus, what did you put inside the machine?

Bad Dragon dildos

Better to spend $300 on a PS4 mirite guise

Easy, two or three Gpu's, a good Cpu like a Intel Six Core and Watercooling.
Even a good Screen cost about 5 to 600$.

choke on dick console nigger

He just waits Half-Life 3 to come.

Also, why would he play modern """games""", when you have original Half-Life?

I've got a shitty laptop and I mainly play Doom on it. Breppy guud gaem

man you made me wonder first, but intel released the first 6 core 2010 already

none of that shit is necessary

For what purpose though? That's a retarded build

I have 2 1080's.
4k 27 inch widescreen.
I7 6900k
8TB
1TB SSD
64 GB RAM(because i can)
1025W psu.
Z270 mobo
2 razer mouse.
Razer keyboard
Some weird glass case.

I don't know the price i just literally clicked 'buy'.
I play dragon ball xenoverse, it's not about the games. It's about the cash. I just collected the 7 dragon balls got myself a new ultimate (death shock ball or something, it fucking sucks)
I'm probably going to pay a friend to get me all the dragon balls, around 50 to 100$ depends on how much he has

>2 razer mouse

>pay 400$ for ps4
>Pay 60$ for a 10 year old full hd remaster

>build 700$ pc
>All the games you ever owned are now better

Pc is better

dude. the most important/expensive object you buy for your pc should be the monitor.

If you have a lot of money to burn on something then who gives a shit. "I want it" is as good a reason to get something as "I need it" if you have the means.
If he's unable to scrape together two cents then there's a problem.

If one dies i don't have to wait for a new one. It's only 60$-140$ right ?

whats wrong with original half-life? did i miss something?
I never played it - can y'all recommend what order I should play the HL series?

It's Half-Life, I do not need to say anymore, if you don't get it, there is no help for you

>Whisper in the air: Black Mesa

>He can play a game thats ~20 years old on a brand new rig without having to shell out money for a port
>What a joke

Consolefags

Here's where you're wrong buddy.

Do you know why he's playing old games on his PC?

Because he can.

You can't.

>tfw OP doesn't have backwards compatibility so he's shaming his friend who actually knows how to game

Oh and by the way, all those games that you can't play on your system, PC can play every single one of them on an emulator.

Gr8 b8 m8 r8d 8/8

why make half life 3 when you can continue to sell half life 1 and 2?

Check out the expansions blue shift and opposing force as well as the original

Shits golden

black mesa
hl2
hl2 ep1
hl2 ep2

he can wait for these. there are modders out there which are already trying to remake these as well.

>Hl
>Opposing Force
>Blue Shift
>Hl2
>HL2ep1
>HL2ep2

Then shut off your pc and contemplate

>tfw no mouselook

Suck it down, console plebs.

You can get a nice monitor without spending half a grand.


Play them in the order of release.

There is a fan-made remake of HL1 called Black Mesa. It's extremely well done and very accurate to the original, but the final few levels haven't been released yet.

>playing old games on an emulator
Faggot. I occasionally play on my ps2

Simple.

Hell Yeah
It just reeks of Sup Forums

I just want to say that it's easy to spend that amount of money.
I got a 3960x since 2011 i think and a Gtx 980. I don't use like multiple Monitors or vr so i think i'm fine with that for another two years.

I bought a Ps4 pro, a Logitech g29 racing wheel (plus a Next Level wheel stand) and a couple of move controllers just for the PSVR. No regrets, it's fucking awesome. I wish I could invite you guys around to try it

>Logitech g29
why not the thrustmaster t300 or 500?

Spent $700 on a the desktop alone. Don't even have a GPU.

>pc plays any game
>console fag has to have multiple old systems to play old gsmes
>HURR DURR HURR see consoles superiosr to pc because i can still play old gaames if i get my nintenod or ps1 out of ma mums basement. What you pc fags do, huh

So whats better a mac or a console?

black mesa
hl 2 + expansions
its pretty straightforward.

For work: a mac of course

Entertainment: a console

For both: PC

Mac is an overpriced machine but the design is a labor of love.

It's more about the feeling of nostalgia using the console. Takes me back to good times

>Alienware

>In 2011.
>2 decades.
Pick one

Should play Grim Fandango instead!

Even still. 5k fuck you op. 1k max settings
2k ultra
Anymore is pointless. Go buy a mac if thats the kinda person you want to be

this

Don't you think the fact that he is free to even be able to play an older game on his system is a good advantage? Consoles lost retro-compatibility a while ago.
