1)Compare price of a new console to computer built out of used parts (as opposed to used console)
2)Disregard fact consoles are pre-bundled with OS and controller
3)Claim steam sales , but disregard psn sales , free games on psn and used game market and reselling games on consoles to save cash.

Nothing against you if you like pc exclusives like DOTA or Starcraft , but console gaming is cheaper ,
>>

>but console gaming is cheaper
It's not. First you pay 450€ for the console, then 70€ for a single game, and probably as much for any DLC.
>>
>>323324690
>1)Compare price of a new console to computer built out of used parts (as opposed to used console)
why's this retarded exactly? Consolecux seldom even want to think of building their own system, and you can create a total PS4-killer for less than 400 bucks nowadays, from brand new parts. Been possible for two years now.
>2)Disregard fact consoles are pre-bundled with OS and controller
As are most PCs, and a basic KB+M set costs you anything from NOTHING to 15 bucks tops. OS you can get absolutely free, both legally and with questionable means.
>3)Claim steam sales , but disregard psn sales , free games on psn and used game market and reselling games on consoles to save cash.
The difference with PSN sales is the fact that they seldom offer notable reductions in prices for the latest games, and just about never as huge price drops as Steam. Also there ARE still physical copies for PC games, and you can even trade or sell digital games of yours on PC.

Finally, the PC has the benefit of having superior multiplats, ways of customizing and modding your games, free online gaming, better multitasking capabilities, and near unlimited backwards compatibility with the 10k+ games available for it.

The PS4 killer PC you claim is so easy is straight up bullshit.
And I don't know if you've ever seen PSN flash sales but you're absolutely wrong. Couple-month-old games dio by 10-30% all the time and older games/Indies can go down by 75% easy.

No one considers that consoles also go on sale.

Sure you can build a console killer using discounted parts for $400, but you can get a console for like $240 on black Friday.

Im idort. In my eyes, it's really fucking simple:
If my PC can run it and it exists on it, i'll play it on PC. If it's not on PC, my PC can't run it or the game overall is better to be played from couch, i'll have it on console.

As for prices i rarely buy anything at launch. Steam or Gamestop, i'll wait for discounts, sometimes buy console game used and then ship it back.

Funfact: Pc games cannot be sold after bought (at least not in Finland.) so in long run, console is very minorly cheaper.

For piratefags, it doesn't fucking matter what you play with.

you CANNOT build a PC that will run modern games for 400$. you can make a PC that is technically better than a PS4, but PC games are generally so unoptimized (probably on purpose) that you will not run them above 20fps on anything over 720p.

source: I tried

it doesn't work, a graphics card capable of running games from this gen on 1080+ is 200$ alone.

>>323333134
Probably on sale.

PC games and console games are usually the same price on release.

PS4/XB1 games usually drop in price pretty fast, you can get many games brand new for $20 which is pretty good considering its physical and not a steam rental.

I would argue that PC gaming is better overall, particularily for the enthusiast but also that people that misrepresent facts to make their argument or fail to realize that consoles fit better for some people's lives they are doing nobody, certainly not themselves, any favors.

PC generally ends up fairly expensive and although some of the pre-builts are decent they partially defeat the point

Consoles are easier to transport unless you get a laptop which again partially defeats the point

I'll probably always play primarily on PC but it's worth looking at consoles always
>>
>>323333840
Being better than PSN doesnt mean shit. That shit is fucking awful.
>>
>>323333840

I'm part of the TRUE master race, the idort, but it's like four bucks a month. I'd pay that for just the convenience of automatic cloud backup. It's greedy, sure, but you actually get a quality product unlike other certain free but shoddy MP platforms which often get a pass on here.
>>
>>323324690

Once a new console gen comes out, you need to shell out for a whole new console. Sure, you can sell your current one, but then you lose out on all of the games you had before. With PC you can keep running shit into the next gen by turning the settings down, or buying an upgrade that'll be cheaper than a whole new, release price console would be. You also have the benefit of not having to find space for each console you own because you only ever need one computer tower.

Long term, PC gaming is way better. Hell, thanks to emulation PCs can play more console games than consoles can.

I don't have anything against consoles or PC either way, but I don't see why there's this ongoing dick waving contest going on between the two.
>>
>>323324690
People saying console gaming is cheaper obviously don't play online as that can add $500 to $1000 dollars on top due to the cost.

Having Xbox Live for the life of the console (around 8 years) if using the yearly cost ($120 dollars from M$) goes to $960, for the same money (~$1500) you can get a high end gaming rig which is a direct upgrade.

PS4 is cheaper but still the same cost as a high end gaming rig ($1000).
>>
I used to buy single player games on my xbox 360. In the end you pay kinda lot for them.

thats how i feel. You're telling me that a 750ti wont maintain 30fps 1080p for 5 years unlike a console. But what kind of sense does that make?

>>
>>323324690
Console gaming is not "cheaper" because your gaming pc replace your old pc. If you own a console you still need a laptop/desktop pc to be able to shitpost on /v/. With a gaming pc you can both play video games and post on /v/.

You can get a 12 months key from popular key sites for less than half price. I've been doing this for years.

Consoles get optimization. The games only look marginally worse despite the difference in hardware. PC is a shit platform filled with entitled little faggots, developers don't give a shit about it,they'll just shit out an unoptimized glitchfest port and tell you to buy the lasted Nvidia card, and you'll happilly do it.
>>
>>323337087
Thanks anon. What console warriors fail to understand is that the point of the gaming pc is to use your everyday PC to play video games as well. It's just practical. And cheap in itself because you NEED a pc nowadays. The only people who don't own a PC are elderly. And even then all my grandparents own a PC with internet nowadays.

Not really, in most cases they just lower resolution, texture quality, shader quality, model quality, etc. etc.
Not to mention they'll often tone down or outright disable things like tessellation (some examples of this are Tomb Raider Definitive and Metro Redux, which don't use tessellation on consoles).
An example of this would be Uncharted 4 MP vs SP.
MP looks much MUCH worse than SP and even then it still can't sustain a constant 60 FPS while running at 900p.

If graphics didn't matter we wouldn't even have a new generation m8.

Its true. The new console games arent pushing anything but visuals.
You dont see the power used for smarter AIs or anything.

Like a game like Street Fighter 5 could actually run on PS1 hardware, if you stripped away the titty physics and particle effects. Nothing the game does is particularly heavy for computing. The mechanics have all been done before decades ago.

Games dont even run better. Something like Bloodborne has just as many FPS dips as Dark Souls on the PS3.

It included M/KB in that price. OS can be gotten for 1/3 the price of PS+ ($20 from kinguin for a 7 key that can be upgraded for free to 10 just to make sure its legit). Pretty sure non-keyed 7's only drawback is a black desktop and a startup notification.

Secondly you need a computer, investing in a good computer is beneficial to both gaming as a hobby, as well as futureproofing your computer so it doesn't shit out like that piece of shit you bought on sale at frys for 150.

And your WoW subscription will cost you even more.

The monthly costs for features were irrelevant to the point. The point was that paying more for superior hardware would yield better results. Nobody's disputing that. It's just a useless argument to make. Consoles are appealing due to low costs, exclusives and "couch gaming". Naturally, if performance and extra features were important to an anon, PC would be the obvious choice. But they don't seem to be, since anon seems content with the quality consoles provide, so you might want to jump onto another argument.

There are a variety of routes one could take in 8 years of gaming, the point I was making is that the image has a very linear and false perception of how much gamers actually do spend. It would be great if someone actually made an infographic that wasn't as biased as trying to sell more consoles/pcs. Gamers spend a fuckload.

I don't know what people constantly compare PC to ps4, not only because of the price difference, the PS4 is like a regular car that everybody owns and drives, it offers reliable performance yet some elitist will always comes along with 600 cylinder ferriari super car boasting about performance then drives off and dose 20 in a school zone because there no fucken roads for the thing to even utilize it's power.

I guess performance automatically become the thing you have to fall back on after missing out on two generations of games. Whats the point of mad performance with no games? Since you obviously don't consider multiplats real games and I also agree, they typically are the exact bottom of the barrel type of software you would expect, so why are PC cucks so proud of maxing them I don't understand?

I just spent 720 euro on a PC before even buying an operating system or a mouse. The fact of the matter is. You want to play games and enjoy them at an affordable price? Go console.
You want the best possible experience? Go PC.
You're going to pay almost twice as much before you start seeing any REAL benefits in terms of the experience you're having but once you do see it, there's just no going back.

It's also weird that PC users don't think multiplats count on console yet they suddenly do on PC.

Tons more of these games had performance problems. Every recent release has seemed to get even worse with the porting. Even when you have enough power in your build to overcome this you still get marginally better performance for the amount of extra hardware needed. Just Cause 3 didn't even run on AMD cards at launch, and it was still spotty for both after being fixed.

Idort here. The pc is the best and the cheapest. The only thing that it fucks up is a good chunk of games have god awful optimization or are just bad ports in general. A lot of devs don't care about PCfags for some reason. From recent memory, deus ex human revolution DC is fucking awful. Just awful. I had a few people message me while I'm playing it telling me the game is shit, while I'm agreeing yeah I fucked up by not researching whether it werks. A huge chunk of games you need to look up a fix by googling then messing with registry values or something of that nature. Squeenix PC ports are notoriously awful. Most games are fine though, it's not hard to fix, just very inconvenient. Another game that we all know that needs no mention is Batman Arkham Knight. Other things include annoying shit like Tales of Zestiria and FF13-2 just crashes on me when I plug in my external sound card because it only allows you to play in stereo.

But I think if I was on a tight budget and didn't give a shit about graphics or fps, the ps4 isn't a bad deal on black friday, if you don't care about playing online. Personally, I don't pay for ps plus.

PC really is one continuous back peddle, we're talking about games here but like clockwork, you incessantly deflect the argument and feel the need to showcase the side features PC offers. You do it because when we put spotlight on PC software your platform has fucking nothing. You don't build a rig just to emulate last-last gens games that $30 household computers can easily achieve. The only thing your platform offers despite being completely fucking submerged in low-effort indie games, is multiplats. Multiplats are the type of side games that you're suposed to pad a library with, not be the fucking focal point of your platform while also being the only software that even takes advantage of your hardware.

>>323345757
So you're basically admitting there is no point in building a high end rig?

This is more expensive than a console, but I liked being able to preform various other tasks while being able to play vidya. I can run everything on max settings and frames will be at 144, or above 100 if the game is very graphics demanding, but I plan on getting my GPU on an SLI bridge soon so it can hopefully stay at 144. This is not expensive, like most posts that show going above 10k, if anything it was about $2k~$3k. And this is an over exaggerated build, but I made it for more things than just gaming. someday

You can find almost any PS3 game on ebay for $7 or less if it's over a year old. Don't need to wait for a sale either.

Not to mention blu-ray discs have a protective coating that protects from most mild-to-moderate scratches so they always play flawless unless someone to a pen to that shit or something. Gotta be choosier with used PS2/360 games though since they're naked DVDs.

Publishers are playing a silly game these days, they're taking advantage of consoles installbase and infrastructure and occasionally porting to PC to net a few more dollars but don't realize the fine line they're walking on.

Most publishers/developers pushing console IP's can't compete on the PC platform exclusively and they know this, they'll just get swamped by the competition and the many studios would go under immediately or be reduced to husks of their former selves making indie software for chips. Consoles need to exist for their financial security and thus software also needs to exists for console but they're they're getting careless now and PC is having a field day because of it.

If they continue porting to PC it'll become common sense to drop consoles all together and adopt a PC, it's that simple. However with that goes consoles market share and the very importance of it existing and when developers and publishers are forced to compete on PC platform, many won't even make the transition and just dissolve immediately, many that do will be faced with such fierce competition due to a much smaller and unstable installbase because half the console users won't migrate to PC or simply not quick enough and for them to remain profitable and stay afloat.

The partnerships and backing of first party games will also cease to exist so that means no Bloodborne, Horizon, Halo and what not. The industry would be reduced to that of mobile gaming within weeks. Even this is still an over-simplification on the importance of consoles and what console manufacturers do behind the scenes. For example Street Fighter wouldn't exist without Sony funding it and saving Capcom from near bankruptcy which also effects other industries and platforms like 3DS. Kojimas new studio also wouldn't have been possible without Sony if gaming was forced to go PC exclusively. Consoles support much more than just first party titles and AAA games.

Nonetheless, I think publishers believe that by under-handing the PC platform behind the curtains with broken vita ports somehow redeems this shitty practice but mark my words once you piss away infrastructure of console support it'll be gone for every and everybody looses, including those on PC. An industry plagued by indies and AAA because we denied the importance of middle men, publishers and console manufactures is a bad industry.

Games are becoming more expensive to develop for and some games may very well need a bigger audience to break even this gen but it's a double sided coin. I honestly think this is the end of console gaming and will be the very last generation. Many have permanently left for mobile gaming, nobody understands why consoles are vitally important for both AAA multiplatform software, b-level developers and in general and will gladly but unknowing participate in the destruction of the industry if only to save a few dollars on steam, hell PC gaming is taking off like crazy now. It's already too late and there is nothing anybody can do.

If possible, try and get the GPU and Mobo together, so at least you can ensure they're compatible upon arrival and not have to worry about the new Mobo working with the old GPU, or the old Mobo working with the new GPU.

CPU's fine, I don't see any point in upgrading that.

>>323348901
>If they continue porting to PC it'll become common sense to drop consoles all together and adopt a PC

I think this is where your analysis falls flat. A huge, huge majority of games are already available on PC, to a level unthinkable in the PS2 days and prior. If multiplat availability was going to drive significant amounts of people to PC to the point of cannibalizing console sales, it definitely would've happened by now, especially considering the free online.

Instead, the PS4 is selling so much that even Sony struggles to explain it. Normies don't care about 60fps and don't mind paying for online and don't want to deal with building a PC, that's that.

it can be done if you know what you're doing. you can do a lot more with a PC as well than just muh gaems. over all, it has more utility and can provide a better gaming experience.

aside from all i just said, i don't know why anyone fucking argues anymore. a light gaming pc, a ps4, or an xbone are all relatively affordable to anyone who isn't living on NEETbucks or in their parents' basement. quit fucking fighting like children and just play the games you want to play on your preferred platform.

I tend to buy all my games on pc since I consider it my archive where I can play games at their fullest whether it be resolution, better visuals or frames. Some old games even get complete remakes

In a few years my consoles will be purged by sony and ms and on to the next one anyways. Plus I don't enjoy paying to play my old games on a new system or for remasters

We live in the 21st century and a computer is essentially a necessity for modern life. PC gaming means paying for both a computer and a gaming system at the same time. What this means is that some of your comparisons are ridiculous, for instance:

>Disregard fact consoles are pre-bundled with OS and controller

You're paying for the OS and the controller too, even if it isn't explicitly stated. I'm guessing you also need a computer in your life as well, which means that you paid for two OSs and two controllers (keyboard + mouse, game controller) instead of just one pair.

>1)Compare price of a new console to computer built out of used parts (as opposed to used console)

Better, compare the price of your new console and the computer you use for work/school to just one, slightly better computer.

>3)Claim steam sales , but disregard psn sales , free games on psn and used game market and reselling games on consoles to save cash.

Not so sure about this one, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Steam does more sales. On another note, lots of PC games are released on disk, which means that there's used copies floating around for those too. If there aren't, it probably wasn't released on consoles anyway.

Super Poor or not, the only games I've had trouble with using my "Peasant" 7870 and FX6350 have been Arma 3 & BlackOps 3

Other then that I've enjoyed HD gaming through and through.

Which is why everyone has a smart phone and maybe a tablet or laptop.

No one owns a desktop PC anymore except a particularly smelly breed of gamer and people who use them for video/rendering work.

even builds for the same prices as the ps4 fuck it most of the time

You can't play console exclusive and PC hardware cost more
>>
>>323348901

The average consumer is usually so brainwashed by anti-corporate convictions yet blind to the fact that they are the ones who are simply able to get shit done in this volatile industry (Bloodborne) and will gladly destroy their ability to do it if only to 'stick it to the salary man' and save a couple dollars on steam.

The same people who incessantly hate console exclusivity yet wonder when PC ports are coming to their system while also failing to understand why nobody can afford to develop these type of games for the PC on the PC platform.

It has basically become impossible to start a discussion about how and why companies like Sony are pretty dam imporant right now because you'll just get met with vitriol and hatred by the ignorant.

Consumers have always been dumb but now they have the tools to slowly but surely destroy the industry and they are doing it.

I will never understand how a group of people that spend most of their time squatting around and drinking cheap potato vodka while contemplating suicide are able to create games that able to run on more machines than DOOM can

Console can't run most games available to everyone else. They have to buy and play only SONY, XBOX or NINTENDO games, which run on separate consoles.
How many console exclusives are excluded from PC?

>PC hardware cost more
You get what you pay for poorfag lel

But that's wrong, PS4 cost less than PC and will beat every PC costing the same.

PS4
I get free games, I can play games now instead of waiting for years for a port, bug free, no trouble shooting for drivers,software etc, Exclusives, Japanese libeary of games, I can use SONY vr with out selling 5000$ for a gaming pc, I can own the physical game.

>>323353378
PS4 is $350-$400 and is beat out by $350-$400 PCs m8.
This delusion is unhealthy.

You can't outperform a $300 PS4 with $300 PC hardware, it's been tried, it doesn't work. You pay more for the PC every single time for the same performance.
>>
alright retards, steam sales are a thing, so are third-party websites with deals
buying PC games IS cheaper

you basically spend 100 dollars buying 2 games for consoles, for PC, no, unless you're retarded or really like spending your money
>inb4 hurr who cares about saving money what are you poor?
ok, then buy a 5000 dollar pc, no problem

>>323353606
you don't pay for them.

>>323341598
>that's actually insane, I clearly understand why both consoles didn't include backwards compatibility and why next-gen won't have it either

I don't follow. Is there no BC on purpose who is it because the hardware designs are too different and/or fucked up?

it is impossible to build a budget pc that is on par with the ps4
the video I posted doesn't count

the price not $350

No, you don't. They free if you have ps+. Online subscriptions on PC give you nothing though.
>>
>>323354307
There are no non-MMO online subscriptions on PC because we don't have to pay to play online.
>>
>>323354304
You have to buy windows, you have to buy a mouse and keyboard and monitor + cables not included in price.
>>
>>323353857
The first thing he says is 300£~400£
The build ended up at 355

:
355 British Pound equals
515.48 US Dollar

The mouse, keyboard, and OS are included in the price.
You have to buy a TV to use a PS4, especially if your current TV doesn't have an HDMI port (which is pretty common).
>>323354534
The PS4 is £350.
And the i3 build is 355, the Pentium build is 320.
>>
>>323354304
It cost more than PS4, you know that don't you?

Man, look at all those PS4 games.
Oh wait...

well yeah because you payed for those games
I was talking about playing online where it forces you to get a subscription
>>
>>323324690
What people fail to mention is that PC is cheaper only in the long run and much cheaper if we consider utility as well. Consoles are always cheaper upfront. There are things like Steam sales being a hell of a lot better than the usual price drops in console games. Consider also upgrades. Most of the time, the only thing you need to upgrade is the graphics card if you are smart enough on what components you chose. While with a console, you have to buy another piece of hardware and make your past software incompatible; with a PC, you only need to upgrade the GPU. When upgrading a GPU, the midrange ones can last you a console generation and cost much less than a console with the higher end ones lasting you a few more generations while costing as much as a console on release, and neither of them have the expense of making your games incompatible.

>Anyways online communties are terrible on PC and full of hackers.
Nah, online communities on PC are actually pretty bro-tier.
Hanging out with regulars, making friends, kids get banned, it's enjoyable.
>>323354871
The PS4 is £350 in the UK.
>>
>>323354307
you mean if I buy a Playstation i have to pay for internet twice? i thought you faggots said this is going to be cheaper
>>
>>323354740
you don't actually own them the minute you stop paying is the day you cant play them anymore

>>323354785
Steam as a platform encourages cutting out the middle man and is something that multiple industries have had delusions of doing and the people who try always hit the same barriers that anyone else does, primarily money.

I'm struggling to think of a good, full game that doesn't look like utter shit that was made independently on PC and sold well. So far I'm coming up with Castle Crashers. FTL is a good example but that was by virtue of Kikestarter, which is another can of worms altogether and shouldn't be seen as an easy "way out" of publishers existing.

Something like Bloodborne, for our example here, being made by a team with nobody funding them is fucking laughable and if not literally impossible. I'd venture to guess that no less than 300 people had a hand in actually developing that game, and I'm not counting the thousands that number jumps to when you account for everyone who had a hand in its release.

People have tried to buck off the middlemen in everything. Indie film especially; people just want to grab a good camera, make their art, and become known. Same with garage bands. Nobody wants to think about how much bullshit goes into actually selling your product on a large scale, and sooner or later, they all go looking for someone to distribute their shit for them because it's an industry unto itself. All those indie bands and little visionary directors work with big studios and labels sooner or later or just fade into obscurity.

>>323354812
See what? Since when PS4 cost 350£?

Is this new level of denial?

You don't physically own the Steam games you buy, the minute you get banned or steam goes off line then you can't play your games.
>>
>>323354850
>he bought a playstation to play shooters

also PC has the best communities for games, just because you can't figure them out doesn't mean that they are shity

fuck this guy is a goldmine
prefers to play fucking console shooters ifested with rage kids and claims that the PC shooter community sucks
>>
>>323354985
That doesn't outperform a ps4 through, the PS4 outperforms it multiple times in that video.

>>323354985
>The PS4 is £350 in the UK.

And UK is whole world? Maybe I should get my PC compononents from Australia?
