It's because you're overwhelmed by your options. Try single out a game you want to play and just get stuck on that one. It's harder to tackle a backlog than a single game.

Pick up Rising Storm 2 while it's hot, it's some really top-tier PCfps stuff

I find myself using my high end pc to browse, look at porn and play some games now and then, very rarely actual demanding games. Meanwhile I use my console to play videogames every single day. I regret a bit spending so much on hardware I'm not putting to use and will probably become obsolete before I get my money's worth honestly. But on the other hand it's nice to know that if I want to play anything, I can.

>>378778650
Well you could barely play a game on that hot garbage holy shit.

>>378779154
Nah, when it happens, it happens with all Vidya. Building an ultimate gaming rig is an attempt to change that. It's like a mid gamer crisis, in twenties usually.

Okay, friend.

The only reason to get a gaming PC is to shitpost in 4k while you watch anime on your second monitor and idle in irc/discord/whatever on the third.

>>378777921
>drop $1500 on a gaming computer

here's the deal that pc masterrace people don't tell you

the games that exploit graphics the best are AAA western shit

I guess you could run DS3 at 4k, but that's about it, japanese devs are hilariously bad at graphics

Persona 5, which people could argue contends for goty has ps3 graphics.

>>378779627
I think a lot of people are probably like that. Pc gaming, while obviously the superior choice, really is a bit of a meme.

>Build new PC just so that you have an excuse to build a pc.
This is suffering, help.

>>378779927
Only idiots care about graphics that much, it's the least important part of a videogame. Well maybe plot is even less important.

Framerate is quite important though.

>>378779870
How the fuck? I bought an rx470 for $160 almost a year ago and it runs GTA 1080p flawlessly with almost everything maxed and extended draw knocked up a bit.

Well, consoles are undeniably better for when people are over. That's like it's biggest if not only pro.

I've forced myself to play some games from my insane backlog, and it actually gets good once you're a couple of hours in. I've played through Ultima Underworld, NOLF 1 & 2, the Turok remaster and are now 22 hours into Divinity Original Sin 1.
Just get some snacks and drinks ready, get comfy and force yourself to play something.

Their online communities aren't shitted up by manbabbies, bronies/furries and hackers.

Get a Nintendo system and you're pretty much set, aside for the rare really good Sony exclusive stuff like bloodborne.

Nothing wrong with a controller imo. I usually use a keyboard mouse on foot and a controller in vehicles in GTA v, unless I'm drunk or being lazy.

I see all three of those in console games at pretty much the same rate.

Except for tf2, that was really bad with bronies and furries sometimes. But the wierdos usually self contained to wierd modded servers.

Try space fisherman emulated and see if you like it. Then translate it if you do. Pretty please. I'll suck your dick.

It's like a Pokemon fishing game with Ren and Stimpy art (that is actually done by John K and spumco). I love it but I'm stuck about halfway through and can't read moon runes.

Im in the same situation but its really more of a case of too much choices. I hesitated for 2 weeks, just playing a little war thunder and cities skylines (which were on my storage HDD and ran fien without reinstall).

You have to őpick a game and enjoy it, don't overthink it.

Okay guys I wanna get into PC gaming again and I can't build shit. What's a great $800~ desktop that I can upgrade in the future.

>>378786000
I've had coil whine with several different video cards and CPUs. Is it even possible to avoid coil whine on PC?

I think I figured it out. I built a 1000 dollar PC, but I don't want to play games because my subconscious knows I should be doing something else.

Go do something productive and get your responsibilities finished up. THEN you will enjoy videogames.

>>378786669
I have no idea, so I'm to scared to buy new parts, since the same could happen again.

I envy you. I wish i had money to set me up a rig to play Arkham Knight with mods. But no, i'm stuck with the vanilla game on PS4 and Bloodborne.

About 4 years ago I was broke and jobless, so I emulated a lot a of old games since I couldn't buy new games. Honest to god that shit helped me through a lot, there are a lot of great games you can play on a potato PC.
