I mean, we could play this game, but, nah

20k for parts? What kind of lucky merchant did your idiot ass overpay for shit?

no one's this stupid,

in before bait memes

cool story bro

Not my fault you’re too stupid to put some pieces together

When I was in highschool a weeb decided to impress a girl by picking on a cool stoner dude and he was like "I got a $2,000 PC that runs any game at 4k and 120fps. My family's poor too so I had to save up for that shit" and the stoner guy replied with "that's cool, I got a PS4 with like 20 games for $150 from Craigslist" and I laughed at the weeb which was sad because that's my homie but he's an idiot

>I literally can't even: the thread
Enjoy that console dick

Even 2k is too much, giving you the benefit of a doubt on a typo.

Get the fuck out of here, liar.

Picking parts takes me 15 minutes, delivery 2 days. Copy of Windows was 10 euros. Consoles are nice for poor people I guess.

spent 600 nazi gold on a rig 5 years ago.
upgraded gfx card once for 200 more nazi gold.

It still plays every game up till today without any performance issues.

No Online subcscription fee bs, emulation, more games, being able to pirate a game and test it before you throw money at a company.

I know this thread is bait, but I really hope some retard threw 20k on a gaming pc.

Ps4 is actually nice cuz of exclusives. But xbox is a waste of marketspace.
Btw i have a bigger dick cuz i have 268 titles in my steam library and its only about 2% indie, the rest are aaa or early acc.

How does it feel being a retard, user? Building a PC is like playing with Lego, simple as that. You have to be a total brainlet to screw this up.

you wanna know what the actual best platform is? the one i stand on, looking down at all you faggots bickering about this shit, while i play whatever the fuck system i feel like at the time. i have all the exclusives, i have all the benefits, and best of all? i don't look like a total fucking loser fanboying over the stupidest shit.

i have a ps4 and a gaming pc. my problem with console games is they are too much about presentation. everything began to be marketed towards "experiences" instead of anything really innovative. the first game i can think of that really comes to mind is final fantasy 13. so linear. and uncharted forget about it. shit like that really turned me off. when the biggest/most common games out there are FPS, makes no sense not to play them PC. console FPS is literal hell.

Could have picked a better game to bait.

what kind of shit tier pc tech do you know?

To each their own I guess.
I use my PC a lot and already would have wanted a powerful one. I prefer mouse and keyboard controls for most of the games I play. Plus I can use controllers whenever I want too.

Yeah, I was thinking of going with PUBG, but I wasn't sure if that was still in.

Thats what I did in November. Stay mad console peasant.

Not OP but honestly the reason I haven't done the PC thing in over a decade is because I think I am too fucking stupid and casual to really get into it. I got my xbone and it works when I need it to. If I had more time I would totally get into the pc stuff, and I respect the hell out of people that do it.

So OP your basically complaining PCs suck because you didn't know what you were doing?

Defiantly stick to a console then but in your case I recommend an adult sets it up for you.

how can anybody be this retarded? no, i'm not talking about op, i'm talking about the morons falling for this very obvious bait

I literally haven't played anything after that apart from "Journey" which was a great game.

Oh I just bought myself PC-Parts worth 2200$ online for Christmas.
Took me one day finish build (haven't done that in like 10 years and I wanted a clean build with good cable-management and a bit of RGB).
Took me another day until everything was installed and as I wanted it.

Can play in 3440x1440 everything on max at 60-100 fps in almost all games.

Sorry I don't live with my parents anymore so they don't pay for my shit. Congrats on convincing your parents that you're too awkward to leave the house and get your own job. Must be nice.

Well thats your own fault for leaving auto update on. The first 2 things I do when I install a fresh copy of 7 is turn off auto update and download firefox.

i built a pc that was worth 1 grand in 2 hours and had it given to the owner with in 4 hours after he dropped the parts off and he was playing games in 1 hour ultra settings.

GTFO

I think he mistyped 2k

Also, you can easily just pirate an activated copy of windows 7. I've been using the same pirated copy of windows 7 all-in-one since it first came out and its still working. I usually do a fresh install once a year.

It's fine by me you do that. But do know you are nothing more but a low life thieving nigger scumbag by stealing shit others put effort in. If you are fine with that, enjoy your torrents. You might want to consider finding a job.

I didnt like gaming. I had a forgotten ps2 in my closet. I bought a cheap lenovo i7 and an amazing stuff. Nos i am a fucking screaming kid (28 yo here).

windows 7 best of all the 7s

>PC won't turn on
*the front panel isn't connected to the motherboard*

God tier bait.

I applaud you sir.

It's called a hobby for a reason, but your exaggeration is really funny.

fucking pleb

This is me here The last console I owned was a Wii because my girlfriend like playing Mario Kart when we were drinking. It took me less than 2 days to make the money to buy a new Wii. an extra controller and 3 games. i have played xbox and ps3 and using a controller is complete shit, especially with lower resolution and shit graphics.

...

Be an idiot who can't build a PC the right way the first time

you sound like an absolute fucking retard with technology

also 2k for a mid range pc either means you're plain dumb or got ripped off

The ps4 is out since 2013 though

My pc will be able to play games at 60fps+ for 5 years. My ps4 pro can't even run destiny 2 at 30 fps

>taking the bait
Fucking retard.

Just play with high settings, pixel by pixel there is almost no discernible difference, except for fps. 10-30% increase in fps depending on game.

Good luck spending only 2k to play 4k in 2013

What a comeback OP, the whole thread hates you.

Everything you described for setting up a PC is easily avoidable by not being unimaginably inept. But console gaming is usually the way to go for me anyways.
I only recently built my first PC for the sake of trying to make my own games because my laptop couldn't even handle the blender models I was making. It's cool though, now I can play my old steam games like Gmod and counter strike again. And I feel like I missed a lot of recent games from PC like Forest and Sea of Thieves and what not. Plus that Hunt game looks fucking awesome.

You should at least try Bloodborne even if controllers aren't your thing. Take advantage of your chance to play it, easily became my favorite game.

what the fuck are you talking about? your reading comprehension is seriously lacking, go back and read my posts. maybe read it aloud, so it might sink in better

Its not the pc's fault you don't know what your doing, but Its ok not everyone is cut out to follow simple step by step instructions stay on the console its where you belong.

>Just play with high settings, pixel by pixel there is almost no discernible difference
I notice a massive difference. Especially since I'm able to up the graphics to ultra. Why settle for a draw distance in a game that lets you see buildings and mountains and stuff appear out of nowhere when I can literally see the entire world on a pc. Also texture mods for most games make the graphics look better than the next 2 future console versions will look.
>10-30% increase in fps depending on game
PS4 and Xbox run at 30 fps at 720.
My pc runs almost every game I've played anywhere from 60-140 fps depending on the game.

It’s one of these again

Yeah thats how things go if you're stupid

PCs are gay, I bought a "gaming" PC for just over $1000 a while back and my PS4 runs games much better

>$20,000 for mid range parts
>epik video games at 32k 6000FPS
Are all console peasants this lazy when they try trolling for the first time in their lives?

>projecting much? when you one day grow up and reach adulthood
I said I bought a Wii when it was new while I was living with my girlfriend. How would that not make me an adult since the Wii came out 12 years ago?
>working full time and have disposable income, you'll realize just how dumb your statement is.
I also said in my post that at my job I make enough money in just 2 days to pay for a brand new Wii, a second controller and 3 games. How is that now working and having a disposable income?
I think you might want to take your own advice and read a little slower next time.

You have forgotten
>Pay for playing online

I know this is bait, but did you know, you can play Battlefield 1 on the integrated graphics card of the cheapest Intel 8xxx series CPU?

720p and low (AKA console graphics) will give you silky smooth 40 FPS. That's 30% smoother than your peasant 30 FPS console.

youtube.com/watch?v=qhjzte5dkLU

GTA V on the same integrated graphics card will run as fast, with high details:

youtube.com/watch?v=GyQjzkwK5NE

I find that pretty damn interesting.

wow, you're even dumber than i thought.

Please explain.

Thats because you bought a $500 pc and payed an extra $500 because it pas pre built.

I'm in Russia.
Spent about 2k $ on PC about 2 years ago, still dont have serious problems with game graphics. Like TW:WH didnt go so well, so I didn't play it much.
To "build" pc I aspent some weekends looking for ino to understand what I need. Put it together on weeked after buying.
Can't imagine any huge gane to download for more then 1-2 hours in steam. And thats in Russia.

inb4 games are for kidds

Hahaha kiddo

The annoying part is finding the right parts for the price you wanna pay. After that it's just Legos

ok. my original post was me saying that being loyal to any one platform, pc or console, is pointless and stupid. being able to play whatever system gives you the most happiness at the time is far superior to limiting yourself to just one.

your reply to this comment was
>Sorry I don't live with my parents anymore so they don't pay for my shit. Congrats on convincing your parents that you're too awkward to leave the house and get your own job. Must be nice.
stating that to own a console and a pc at the same time, ones parents must provide it for them, because to a child, these hings are expensive. i go on to explain to you that as an adult, i can buy as many pcs and consoles as i like. you then go on to completely contradict yourself by saying that you have owned pcs and consoles at the same time, and yet you state that your parents didn't in fact provide these to you.
so what is it about my posts that you misunderstood? or can you just simply not fathom that a person other than yourself can not only afford to own a pc and a console at the same time, but can enjoy playing with both?

Seriously, it's not that hard to build a PC. Your internet is probably shit, so PC or console, that's a problem you'll have regardless. Also, who tf spends that much money on building a PC when they've never done it before? At least ask a friend who's done if before to help or some shit. Also, if you spent THAT much on a PC and got 58 fps at 720p with all these stutters and crashes, that either means you got shitty parts or that it's even worse on console. Sure building a PC can be a little bit of work, but in the long run it's a better investment. In the next 5 years I'll need to get a new processor and GPU, because the current CPU and GPU I have isn't the greatest. In all, I'll have spent 6-800, which will last me well into the next gen of gaming consoles (You'll have spent around 1,000-1,200)

>>spend 4 years saving up $20000 to buy all the parts I need for a mid range PC

20K? Dual CPU with custom waterblocks and 4 graphics cards?

I assume you mean 2k. Get a job. Thats like 3 weeks pay.

Good on you.

Me:

Get laptop through work, they pay £200 towards and take off taxes.

GTX 1050, i5 7750, 8Gb DDR4, 128Gb PCIe SSD, 1TB HDD.

£420 paid off over 12 months.

All these PC fans taking OP's bait are kind of proving his point.

Yep!

>buy a pc
>connect to internet
>download games
>sup

you are retarded thats all.

What you've described is the way a retard would go about it. Yes, when you give a task to a retard he's gonna make it look much harder than it is.

In your original post you were making yourself sound like a douchebag acting all superior and sounding like a 12 year old bragging about owning anything you want. Thats the reason I even replied to you. I only even replied to this bait thread in the first place because OP is a retard posting this thread for the thousandth time and I've never actually replied to it before and right now I'm bored.
And I wasn't contradicting myself, I said that my girlfriend wanted a Wii when it first came out so I bought her one so that we could sit around and play mario kart while we getting drunk. I don't consider that making me a console gamer. Thats more of me spending time doing something with my girlfriend that she thought was fun.

Given I been building computers for like over ten yrs now. Shit is now hard to do at all. Also bought consoles and have it set up next to my pc.

2k is not that expensive at all. I know a lot of people including myself who'll spend up to 3k, that PC will last them four or five yrs with out any real hardware upgrades. By that time they've slowly saved up, 50 bucks here, 100 there, by the time those four or five yrs is up, their shit finally needs replacing, they didn't have to save huge chunk of their paycheck to do so. Given a lot of those ppl are just not gaming, do video editing too.
