Seriously though, why do people still play on consoles when PCs are superior in every way?

It's more convenient. PC building has been simplified a good deal but the stress of replacing and upgrading expensive-ass components and getting games to work with your drivers and whatnot is still there

What's easy for you is not easy for 98% of the populace. The very concept is intimidating to the majority of the common class.

But this is (or rather was) a good thing because it kept the chucklefucks on the consoles where they belong. It truly was a 'master race' of sorts for a good while.

Because the vast majority of people that play consoles aren't as autistic as /v/ makes 'gamers' out to be.

People want to just play games/ They don't care about resolution. They don't care about frames. They don't care about graphics. They just want to play games and that is what they do. They plop down on the couch, load up the dashboard, hop into a chat with friends, and then start playing.

Normal people pay for a convince. Just as any consumer or marketer that supplies them. It's the reason game sales on consoles are so high and it's the reason all AAA titles are made with console in mind.

Explain why companies keep trying to market 4k resolution and high end graphics to console consumers.

"They just want to play games and that is what they do" doesn't hold up when half the internet discussing games consists of console war bullshit that has nothing to do with PC.

These days (if you look around a little bit at least) prebuilts are actually on par with scratch builds in terms of cost.

>late ports

PC is such an irrelevant market to them, they wait the better part of a decade before releasing a game on PC.

>porn games

They're only on PC because console makers forbid them. Before, ecchi games were a PC exclusive genre before consoles allowed them, which explains why there are no more ecchi games for PC besides the aforementioned late ports.

>doujinsoft

Only possible because console licenses are too expensive for the average hobby programmer. When they are successful on PC, they earn enough money to get console licenses and port them to consoles, and then on focus exclusively on consoles (like Zun, Cave Story, pretty much every Jap indie game) because that's where all the money is.

>VNs

pppfffhahahaha consoles get them too anyway
>>
>>376964569
I have about 75 games on Steam, and have played many of them. Plus a few games on Origin, a couple of Blizzard games e.g. Starcraft 2, and a few older games that I have retail disc copies of (e.g. System Shock 2). As far as I can remember, the only game that I had trouble launching and running due to drivers was the Enhanced Edition of the first Witcher. A quick driver update resolved that problem. I had to install fan patches (and did so without difficulty) for System Shock 2 and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines to get them to run properly on Windows 7. Otherwise, for nearly every other game, I simply launched them and they ran just fine with default settings, which were usually set to "medium" or "high". The only reason I went into the settings is to see how much more I could squeeze out of the game while maintaining 60 FPS or close to it. I've made only one upgrade to my PC since I built it about 5 years ago, which is less expensive than a PS4 Pro.

There are threads on /v/ where people who play games on PC criticize a game for not having controller support. Something like this would be unthinkable 10 years ago. Think about that for a second.

For me:

1. I play video games for quite some time now and am attached to the console experience. You know, the whole buying physical games, playing them on a plug and play machine on a comfy couch.

2. PC isn't as good as autists make it sound, you have shit load of hardware and software issues.

3. You have an absolutely terrible community made of the worst and most cancerous people that you can find on the internet.

I have a decent PC and I basically use it for emulation and 2hu with the occasional pirated AAA game I never intended to spend money on.

I don't understand this. I'm not a professional PC builder but every PC I've built at worst a bad psu is shipped to me and the most non obvious thing to do is hooking up the lights and power button on the case. Once Windows is installed running most things is not a problem. If there is any problems it's usually a really old game with no compatibility with my current OS and there usually is a work around

I don't really care for puzzle games honestly. I didn't think Portal was that good. I wanted to try the Dark Souls games on PC for more stable framerates. Not really into Strategy or shooters.

Because windows
Because exclusives
Because because don't like shovelware indie steam games
Because resolution and fps aren't the end all be all.
Because so many ports are busted or sloppy and never get support from devs.
Because of overly competitive faglords on multiplayer games.
Because cheating is rampant.
Because PC fanbase is mega toxic
Because I can't get into MMORPGs
Because I don't care for twitch shooters
Because I rather play while on the couch(I KNOW I KNOW YOU CAN PLUG IT INTO A TV, BUT ITS NEVER 100% ease of use with just a controller.)
Because PCs are more complex than a console and thus more prone to errors and compatibility issues.
Because I rather not be associated with PCfats.

It's not so much building or running software in itself but rather all the little things that make it a pain in the ass.

Games crashing, micro stuttering, strange sound glitches, bad performance, tinkering with graphical options, servers down. It's gotten to a point I'm practically sure I'm going to have issues if I play a game on PC.

releasing a game on a certain platform doesn't make it "relevant"

Desktops have been seen as archaic and a thing of the past a decade ago, especially after the "Apple Guy PC Guy" marketing campaign.

Does PC have it's own profitable niche, sure. In the grand scheme of things they're gonna continue to be a B player tho, especially when you have tons of retards on PSN willing to pay upwards of 2.99 for shitty avatars.

consoles are cheaper. their games are cheaper (not indie steam sale shit. actual AAA games people actually play). they come with their own controller. most people already have a laptop or tablet so they dont need one to browse the internet. on top of upfront costs getting the "best" experience is a moneysink compared to a console+TV. youre going to need to buy a console anyway to play some of the best games so you may as well skip a rig, all rigs can play is AAA games+indies and a console can play most of those and any laptop will play obscure pixelshit. you can share games with your friends and sell them if youre finished. gamestop is a faggot but it lets you return any used game for any reason. its far more convenient to use a console in a group setting or on a TV than a pc. I know its possible, ive done it, its just retarded.


I could go on and on but the only reasons to buy a rig are as follows;

1. Graphics autism. Not downplaying it, but it's a lot of money for minimal rewards.

2. Mods and cheating.

3. Steal all of your games easily.

4. Makes game streaming / recording a breeze.

5. The very rare "AAA pc exclusive" like Battlegrounds and Star Citizen.

oh I dunno something about a multibillion dollar industry involving multibillion dollar companies and their propeitary hardware you fucking retard.
It's consumer demand is what drives it.
I'm guessing console gamers don't want to shell out a new PC every few years, as opposed to buying a new console every seven to ten years.
Plus whenever you buy a new PC, a new game comes out and now you need to update your gfx card and all the system requirement bullshit whereas it should just be as simple as running the game as a console does.
I'm guessing you're violently retarded to understand what would motivate someone's preference.

I'm already considering making a new rig since my current one uses an HDD boot drive and M.2 SSDs are a thing now.

Current consideration
* Fractal Design Define R5
* i7 7700k with NH-U125 cooler
* Asus Z270A mobo
* 960 Evo M.2 SSD
* 1TB WD Blue
* 16GB RAM
* GTX 1070
* 850W PSU

NVMe is a meme, don't fall for it.
PSU is very much oversized. Quality, not quantity, is key.

Because cancerous communities like "LE PC MASTER RACE" ruin any fun that's to be had on PC.
>>

Why are they a meme?

>>376971502

850w PSU is a bit overkill if you are only going for a 1070. May as well just upgrade to a 1080 with all else you are getting though.

The irony in this statement is pretending that those same cancer communities don't exist on all platforms, let alone have existed for decades now.

Because outside of isolated, professional environments, they provide no benefit.

Sure, their stats look impressive, and you can import your several gigabytes large video project much faster, but for normal usage, the limit isn't the speed of a SATA SSD, it's processing power. Games don't load faster anymore, systems don't boot faster anymore.

They comparative don't know better or lack the information/attention span to care and inform themselves.

Exclusives.

I can't play my shitty rock band/guitar hero games on PC.

>Seriously though, why do people still play on consoles when PCs are superior in every way?
- Devs/publishers just outright assumes you're a filthy pirate, and will shove the latest Denuvo down your throat when possible
- Layers upon layers upon layers of DRM on top of a Spyware OS that thinks your computer should obey its overlord, not you.
- Internet connection required for many games / certain platforms
- Your hardware does not have a 10 year lifecycle. Companies want you to upgrade every 1-2 year.
- Very wide range of hardware configurations give devs excuse to be lazy and not properly optimize for your hardware - or not optimize for it at all. Also, see point above.
- Related to the first point, many companies that specializes on making PC games are reluctant to put a lot of production value on single player contents, preferring to focus on "providing multiplayer experiences" on servers that they control as a form of DRM.
- Once a company can get away with requiring users to rent servers for multiplayer, they will all require you to rent servers if you want to play multiplayer. When that happens, console's paid online will look cheap in comparison.

Pretty much this. Console exclusives. Still this gen is been really few decent ones so i am thinking about joining the glorious PC master race, skip this gen and just play the exclusives once the PS5 remasters come around.

It seems like the only way to get a decent library at lunch.

>>376964258
There is literally no reason. PC is by far the best experience with the most games.
>>
>mfw PC
PC gaming is not about video games, it's about hardware benchmarking, pc building and budgeting.

After people are done building their PCs by themselves and feel good and superior about it because 'it's so easy! They usually just use their PCs to do other things like shitposting or whatever.

>be PC gamer
>spend a grand on a PC
>play a game
>woah this looks good
>get bored after 20 minutes
>start shitposting about how you are so superior and post screenshots of the games you barely play ...

The sad truth is that there are no good games on PC that require an expensive computer. Most games just require toasters and the ones who need powerful GPUs are nothing but badly optimized console ports.

>build good PC
>can use for countless of hobbies including video games
>can use for countless of jobs
>can play 90% of console games trough emulators
>can play arcade games too
>can play all PC games released throughout all ages since PC is infinite backwards compatible
>can play every multi platform title in the best quality possible with differences ranging from alright upgrade to absolutely stunning experience where you can't believe people play the trash console version
>can customize controls and display however you want
>can use any hardware you want, don't need to buy special licensed shit that will become obsolete for the next console
>mods further enrich a good library of games, fine tuning games is almost always possible and you are able to erase annoying flaws of the original game
>entire genres exclusive to the platform
>exclusive control options like mouse +kb which makes some genres much better to play
>can upgrade machine but even if you decide to never upgrade the hardware will always be extremely useful while console hardware is trash the moment the next generation arrives
PC is for the flexible thinking man. The best choice by far. If PC is not your main platform you are not part of this hobby, you are just a casual drone.
