why would you buy either of these when you can drop $1000 on a pc?

>>382460690
PC is shit

>>382460690

PS4 is a Gravity Rush box with some other stuff I guess. Xbone has...that Rare compilation?

>>382460690
because i prefers to play on a console on the saloon instead of my PC. I don't want to connect my pc to the TV either.

>>382460690
Because I already have a PC and got bored, so now I buy a PS4 to buy exclusives and get even more hours of entertainment.

>>382461396
what exclusives are actually worth getting besides bb? I have a ps4, I only have dead rising,bloodborne,and dragon ball xenoverse.

>$1000 on a PC
Make that 500 bucks. That gets you a total console-killer that'd have no problem running any current game great at 1080p/60fps.

But yeah, the answer is: prejudices, misinformation about the modern PC gaming & prices, and some people are just pure fanbois.
A mid-tier computer connected to TV, with a wireless gamepad and Steam's big-picture mode would offer quite literally the same experience as the modern consoles, just much snappier & better visuals + performance.

im loving ratchet and clank. got it during the current sale for 9 bucks. i like uncharted series also

PC fags don't want to play games at medium settings which is about what $500 gets you

>PC fags don't want to play games at medium settings which is about what $500 gets you
Yeah, you know jack shit about modern PC specs and requirements.
A fucking 1050ti can High / Ultra most games at 60fps. Even more so if you lower or disable some of those silly framerate killer effects in the big AAA titles (ie Nvidia Hairworks, Ubersampling...).

I've played on PC exclusively since ~2003, and I've never used all-Ultra settings on just about any game. Not because I couldn't, but because diminishing returns + pointless performance reductions. Hell, some of the bigger games nowadays barely look any different on goddamn "Low" settings these days.

>>382461560
I like Wipeout, Gravity Rush, UC4, P5 and the Infamous games. If there's nothing on the console that matches your tastes, there's no point having it though.

>>382461834
GTX 1060 sells for about 220$ and you can get a cheap 60$ CPU for max settings in all games. The rest of the parts are up to you.

>>382461560
My PS4 is coming 10th of july and I'm hyped for yakuza, ratchet and clank remastered, persona, infamous, digimon games and bloodborne. Also I heard that until dawn was free right now on PSN so I may get that.

>>382460690
More like $800 for a PC then $500 for a GPU that's better than a console's.

>>382462373
what kind of shithole do you live for those prices to have any kind of connection with reality?

You have been able to build a PS4 killer with 400 bucks for THREE YEARS now. At this point, I bet it'd be doable for around 300 bucks.
800 PC, including a proper GPU, would tower over Scorpion and PS4 Pro, 6-0.

$500 PC is better than a console
$800 PC is good enough to be worth it

I have a good PC, but the PS4 had games on it I wanted to play either exclusive to it or exclusive to console that played better on it.

PCs are optimised for spreadsheets and PDFs, not games. Consoles are made for and their hardware tailored to gaming.

>>382462918
Actually, PCs are just fancy calculators with tons of bloat, etc.

See where this leads? A modern PC is anything YOU want it to be. No spreadsheet machine has a 300+ buck video card and a back-lit, mechanical keyboard with a dozen or two extra keys for scripts and shit.

Because I can play the roughly 5 interesting games released per year on a console instead of investing in a fucking PC.

Which is the same reason I won't buy a PS4 Pro or lelxboner of any sort. I wish I'd gotten some less shit hobbies than gaming as a teenager.

>>382460690
The case would probably be already owning a pc, or not wanting to drop $1000 on one, or wanting to play a specific game like Bloodborne, or because you want a no-hassle experience and just want to play games or watch movies, are a normal human being with no interest in pcs or technology etc.

There can be lots of reasons for people if you actually thought about it for a second.

pcfags are worse than sony, nintendo, and microsoft fanboys. pcfags are so austistic they cant comprehend that some people prefer console gaming.

>>382460690
Jokes on you I bought both and a Switch which came to about $1000 and I still don't own a PC

People buy riced up keyboards because they have nothing else to do with their PC.

Components are so expensive because the machine isn't made for gaming so the technology needs to be more sophisticated to put it on par with a console. Playing games on PC is like using a dildo to hammer in a nail. Sure, you can do it, but that's not what it's made for and the appropriate tool, the console, is easier to use and more efficient.

Why the fuck would you do that when you could just go for $250 and play bloodborne, P5 or even the new Red Dead when the time comes

>>382463778
pretty much

>>382460690
PS4 has exclusives im interested in, the only exclusives PC have are either early access open world zombie games or shooty games

Why drop that much when for $750-$850 you can run most games at 60 FPS?

i thought pc parts were getting more expensive now? there was a thread about it a couple of days ago.

>>382464721
Some parts are due to crypto-currency bullshit

Because of the significantly larger playerbase in a variety of online games. PC (and more specifically, steam) has a good amount of MMOs and MOBAs, but if you're not really a fan of those, you're at the whim of the hivemind and FOTM shit for being able to play games.

True.

>>382460690
The trivial graphical gains and zero good exclusives on PC don't justify the tripled cost. No matter what you PC tards think or say I'm right. Most of you don't even play on a screen bigger than 27" so your 95K resolution and 400 fps is wasted anyway.

I get exclusives and more than acceptable graphics. And I can even prove logically that graphics are fine. Say Half Life is your favorite game. Was it not worth playing in 1998 at 640x480? The game isn't better today for running at a higher resolution. A game 5 years ago wasn't worse for not being in 4K. That shit is a trend that moves the goalposts now and then. Games aren't invalidated for not having the newest buzzword.

>>382460690
>why would you buy either of these when you can drop $1000 on a pc?
If you drop only $1000 on a PC, you cannot play AAA video games on it.

>>382460690
Fighting games are pretty much impossible to play on PC because the player base dies within weeks

>>382464721

>>382464948
But how future-proof is this?

>>382465203
not at all, it doesn't even have a fucking GPU so good luck playing anything but flash games.

>>382460690
Why not both? PS4 for exclusives and PC for multiplats. PC exclusives are usually crap unless you love F2P Mobas, Overwatch clones, or early access survival zombie mineycrafta ripoffs

>>382465203
>But how future-proof is this?
There is no such thing as "future-proof". No console is future-proof either.

PC for exclusives and PS4 for multiplats and exclusives.

Generally speaking most people probably use that term to refer to how long between upgrades, which in terms of PCs is longer than consoles assuming you're not stingy and get decent parts to begin with

>>382464058
PCs multitask, and have been since their inception. It would be unreasonable to assume that it was created just for work, and even if it was, it hasn't been for years.

See, by your logic, consoles are becoming less and less about gaming, because they can now multitask more and more. Never to a level of PC, but they are trying.

This. I'm a mustardcuck myself and even I acknowledge that our exclusives are shit. Except the porn games, which I guess is as good excuse as any to get a PC if the multiplat arguement doesn't hold up.

>>382465594
Yeah, it doesn't have a GPU, it's a shit APU. Might as well buy a phone, cunt.

Say Hello to IBM PC 5150, underage.
This thing has 16 kilobytes of memory and runs one single program at a time.

>>382465942
It's an APU/integrated chipset (since it's LITERALLY THE SAME FUCKING THING) chart, so you're seeing the internal graphics chipset of those mixed cpus.

>>382465752
>Yeah, it doesn't have a GPU, it's a shit APU.
APU is an AMD marketing term for GPU and CPU combined into one chip. It's the same GPU technology both consoles use.

>>382465942
>What graphics card are they running?

>>382466003
That's what you'd tend to get if you depend on integrated graphics to run games other than minesweeper.

>>382466051
And it's just as well optimized as a console, too. What happened to it being a "console killer"? It's the same fucking performance, at a higher price.

Let me give you my honest reasons why I play on my PS4. I don't have any issue with playing multiplats on my system or any of the previous consoles I've owned. All my friends have PS4 so we play together consistently. Been playing PVZ GW2 with them for days now and having so much fun. I've really been enjoying the exclusives. God of war 3 remastered, Uncharted collection and 4, Ratchet and Clank, Bloodborne and Horizon. I'm also very interested in Spider-Man and optimistic about the new God of war.

Most people are like that really when it comes to consoles. They aren't hung up with frames and graphics and just want to be able to play from time to time with their friends and whatnot easily.

Oh, look. Another thread where we all pretend PCs are only used for games and don't have a shit ton of other utility. It's like you don't realize you're browsing with a computer right now. Or a phone, but fuck you if so.

>>382460690

Because you can buy both for $500 along with $500 left over for games and not have to worry about updating graphics cards or fiddling with plugins to work.

>>382466398
how is gw2 on ps4? I was actually holding a copy of it in my hand at walmart earlier, but decided against getting it cause I figure the online's totally dead.

>>382466398
This, playing with my friends will always beat playing at higher settings, I own a $800 PC but play my PS4 way more

People usually think I'm a false flagger for saying that but I own a shitload of steam games and I can't name many worthwhile exclusives on it. Doesn't help that Valve no longer makes games and every other dev is just doing a clone of whatever is popular right now. PC gaming show this year is proof of that
