Thinking of selling my PC and going fully on consoles

Moving to a new house and don't want my PC to be tied to one room upstairs known as the PC room, but prefer being able to play vidya on my new big HDR TV with my new sofa downstairs

Also don't really play vidya with anyone on PC, as all of my friends are on PS4 and Xbox

Feels bad thinking of selling my PC because I do have over 400 Steam games but I've already started buying newer games for console over PC because I just prefer it

>tfw getting old
>>
>>382535824
getting older but not any smarter
if only there was some magical way you could hook up a pc to the tv downstairs
>>
I haven't sold my PC, but have basically done the same. I keep it set up in my living room anyway, but I'm happier sitting at a couch playing console games. It's so rare I pick up a PC exclusive now, it's getting rarer that I pick up a multiplat even. The last time I got a PC exclusive was Total Warhammer, which occupied me for all of about 30 hours.

Now I mostly play on my PS4 and Switch. My girlfriend and flatmate play with me a lot on both, and they're better entertaining machines for sure.
>>
>>382535940

Yeah but Steam Link isn't great and don't fancy having wires sticking out of my new house

I work on my pc and I just want to get away when I'm not on the clock.

Get an xbone x. Shit is almost as powerful as high end pcs, has 4k to take advantage of the tv (I have a ks8000) and has 4k bluray support.

Enjoy!

At that point shouldn't you just get like a PS5?

Yeah, I guess I'll see if it's out by then. Honestly not even sold on the ps4 but my friend is bugging me to buy one so it'll probably take a lot for me to be sold on a ps5

You are doing the right move.
Consoles are hassle-free compared to PC and a once-per-8-years investment, while getting the vast majority of multiplats.
All you need for a good PC (browsing and watching porn) is a $100 laptop. At best get a mid-range one if you need it for productivity reasons or if you somehow still want to play bottom of the barrel shit like Dota2, LoL, CSGO, WoW, Overwatch, Hearthstone, etc

Of course I don't need to tell you which console to buy. I assume you're smart enough not to get a Xbone, and there are 2 other alternatives, only one of which actually gets 3rd party titles.

Man. Consoles really are just terrible locked down PC's these days aren't they? The Switch and PS4 are even using the same damn PC OS for their own forks.

How so?
PS3 for example released in 2006, outlived both the Wii and WiiU, and is still getting games in 2017, the latest big example being Persona5.
Even if PS5 releases in 2020, PS4 will still get the majority of its games (the cross-gen period) for the first year or two, as has been the case for the last couple of gens, and then still get some games for the 3rd year. Making its lifespan last from 2013 to 2022/23. In fact I reduce its lifespan from 10 years to 8 years to be on the safe side.

Of course if he gets the Switch he can expect 4 to 5 years at best, with it competely dying the day the next gen comes out, much like WiiU got its last relevant game ever the day Switch came out (Zelda BotW) and won't get any more support even though it's perfectly capable of running games like Splatoon2 or the next Pokken. It's just that Nintendo doesn't have a good history of supporting their previous main consoles once a new one comes out.

You have no choince on pc either, either you use what the devs decided to sell on or stay without a game

With the difference that day one patches do fix issues unlike on pc

Most people use consoles, that's why they sell games that aren't as broken as on pc.

There's really nothing preventing you from doing a comfortable or couch setup with a PC, from discreet cases, to longer HDMI cables to streaming.

I work on the computer all day too, and so the one at home acts as pretty much a HTPC for games and movies. It all depends on your priorities, but to me the customization and 60fps is too much to give up.
>>
>>382540907
30 fps is barely noticeable the moment you jump out of arena shooters, I bought a 144hz monitor and it was the dumbest purchase of my life, barely any difference, anybody claiming different is lying on purpose.
>>
>>382541015
Unfortunately my eyes work properly so I do notice the difference.

Not that 30fps is unplayable or anything, but it's not exactly a pleasant way to experience games.
>>
>>382541098

My eyes work as properly as yours and there's barely any difference, when I'm playing at 144fps on the pc on a COD I don't feel a jarring experience when I move to the xbox and play gears4 at 30.

I have the feeling that you don't play games but rather do performance benchmarks with your pc, it's the full pc experience, you cease enjoying games and focus on obtaining the best fps, any dip any strange hiccup, anything unpleasant and you spend 1309 hours figuring shit out.

PC is shit because it ruins fun.

You need /v/'s permission to do stupid decisions or something? Or is this a blog? Also, how come you can't afford a console without selling your PC? If you're that in need of cash maybe you shouldn't be moving.

I have a comfy couch set up with the PC tower on a small table and a monitor mount attached to a bigger table next to me. It doesn't take much brainpower to figure out a good couch PC setup. Regardless, it's your money. Hopefully you won't regret paying $60 a year for online and getting garbage framerates. Good luck.

>focus on obtaining the best fps, any dip any strange hiccup, anything unpleasant and you spend 1309 hours figuring shit out.
It's the exact same on console except you can't do shit about it, you have to deal with the unpleasantness and everything else. "Dealing with it" is not the same as "having fun."
>>
>>382541393
Well it would be pretty silly to sit and do pc master race benchmark shit on my PC considering it's a toaster.
60fps and 1080p with some low tier AA is all I ask for. Don't care if the textures are blurry as fuck or all the models look like abstract art.

As I said, I'll happily play a game in 30fps if it's my only choice(bad Japanese PC ports and what have you). But I wouldn't ever willingly seek out to play 30fps games if I could play them in 60fps.
>>
>>382541856
Consoles are able to account for dips better than PCs and are generally better optimized because they only have to hit one target spec
>>
>>382541557
For all intents and purposes it is.

I have a GTX 1070 build and will likely get the same results as an xbone x
>>
30fps isn't even that bad if its a stable 30 2bh
>>
>>382542064
It is unpleasant, but not unplayable.
>>
>>382541923
No they fucking don't. Stop with the optimization meme already. I would know this because I have all consoles barring Xbone and Switch (which I will be getting later this year). Playing Bloodborne on my PS4 sometimes makes me want to kill myself, it does a great disservice to such great combat that I have to play it at 25fps.
>>
>>382541739

Hello retard, I've played most of my life on pc with occasional purchases of consoles, so I'm familiar with the two.

I'm switching to consoles for several reasons, which include total player counts on my servers and convenience.

>>
>>382542794
Consoles are litterally just PC's with a bad case and a shitty OS slapped on top of it.

Even the console manufacturers know it which is why they are forced to focus so much energy on exclusives. And it's not like in the old days where you had an actual reason to keep a game exclusive due to the difference in architecture. Now the only reason to keep something exclusive is because they paid you too.

>>382542979
>Show me an example of current console "optimization."

There's no example it's how it fucking works. Targeting one spec specifically means it's much easier to take advantage of the hardware, and it also means that FPS is entirely a design decision with extra time being spent to ensure levels work especially well on the given hardware.

You sound like a faggot who argues 60FPS solely because it has a higher number

You can keep saying that, but it won't make it true. Every console game runs like shit compared to PC. Show me examples otherwise. Show me games that have dips on PC and run well on console. You keep saying "that's how it works" but then in actual application, evidence shows otherwise. Where are the PS4 exclusives that run games very well optimized? How many are there? Bloodborne? Infamous? Horizon Zero Dawn?Uncharted?

And to think, vidya for me consists of emulating third, fourth and fifth-gen games on my little 4:3 LCD monitor.

I don't think investing in any console after the sixth generation is a good idea. "Planned obsolescence" is a real phenomenon, and whether or not it's planned, obsolescence does occur with hardware that involves exponentially complex parts that are prone to inexplicable failures. Enjoy your YLoD / RRoD / DREs / whatever.

If you want to keep up with the current generation of games, you're really better off investing in a gaming PC. A gaming PC is never necessarily obsolete since its components are interchangeable. And if you experience any hardware failures, they're far easier to address than attempting to service a gaming console.

Do you realize how stupid that looks having a PC next to your TV. Not only that but you can't even browse properly without putting it back to the original spot. And if someone has a kid then that option is straight up retarded.

>but muh performance
literal non-issue. The last game that was unpleasant to play due to the frames was Dragons Dogma, other than that I can list more devastating PC ports like Arkham Knight.

Consoles are perfect for normal non-NEETs who still like to play videogames, especially considering that you can couch-coop

The only reason older, weaker consoles had better performance than PC at the start of a gen were low-level API access for devs. They have that on PC now too. Plus, most engines and APIs are a lot more mature now with better SDKs.

Consoles don't have a single advantage over PCs. Everybody who believes otherwise is either a huge fucking retard or living in denial.

Whenever I hook my PC up to my TV, the colours are always slightly off. Either too washed out or to bright or something. And no amount of fiddling with settings in game or on the TV really fix it. But I don't have that problem with console for some reason.

I'm not trying to shit post, I'm just genuinely curious as to why this happens.

It's okay OP, the same thing is happening to me too. It started when I looked into upgrading my PC and saw that if I wanted a new processor, I would have to get a new motherboard and heat sink as well.

Then I realized I should just spend that money on games instead since I don't really have the time and PS4 graphics are adequate to my worsening eyesight
>>

I use an AMD CPU. I don't even have nvodya control panel installed.
But like I said, I've fiddled extensively with the settings - including any AMD driver specific ones and their own shitty software.

So you woke up one day, turned on your computer, and noticed you had a trojan. That's never happened to anyone ever. You must have been downloading something from some fucking shady website. Guaranteed. But hey, if it's too embarrassing for you, then I get it.
>>
>>382545172
you're making me feel really unwelcome with your harassment anon
>>
>>382545076
Fucking this.

Legitimately, I need a new CPU, but since I'm stuck on 1155 right now, I'd need to buy a new motherboard. And If I went really new, like a Ryzdn 5 1500x it means I'll also need to buy DDR4 memory.

Just shit. Like, that alone is 500 dollars in Australia. Thats money I could be spending on fucking games or, hell, putting it towards a holiday or something.

I love PC to death, but people who try and claim their cheaper than consoles in the long run are fucking morons.

Well that would be an issue, since we're speaking about GPU software. However I'm assuming that "their own shitty software" means you also tried messing with the colors in Catalyst Control Center? It's been a while since I've used AMD GPUs so I don't remember precisely. You made sure that your refresh rate, resolution, etc are matched up perfectly on the TV? I have my PC hooked up to a small TV as a third monitor and my colors while noticeably darker are fine.

Sorry, typo, meant GPU not CPU.

Yeah, I've tried the settings in the catalyst software and never get results im truly happy with. While using my Monitor everything is fine, but the TV just won't have it for some reason.
Refresh rate and resolution where fine too.

Darker colours happen as well. It's hard to explain. Colours are either washed out, or way darker with a weird like... 'bright' kind of filter over everything. It looks like garbage.

Only things I can suggest are to see if there's issues with the cable (most likely not) or if there's some sort of extra setting that is turned on on the TV. Interlacing or gamer mode or something silly like that could be causing issues. Hopefully you get it resolved.

At a certain point within a games population match making becomes instantaneous no matter how many more players are added on to the game. For example, Battle born has almost no players on so matchmaking is basically impossible (30 minute+ wait time).

Now look at a mainstream game like COD or Overwatch. Match making is rather fast. This is due to the game having reached this "perfect" playerbase population, therefore if a console has a game with this perfect population number its likely to not feel different from one another.

This does not change the fact that one system has more players online though. Just that after a certain amount you cant tell the difference in matchmaking times. But, you are more likely to run into the same player over and over again on the smaller population.

dont do it, anon. you'll regret it.

my pc's psu died a few months ago, and, for whatever reason, i just couldn't be fucked getting a new one straight away.

it was around the same time as persona 5 coming out, so i decided to grab a second hand ps4 and persona 5 and some other stuff like bloodborne.

i was having a good enough time, but now that i have my pc back in working order, i look at my ps4 like a toy. all the games are 30fps and even stuff like tekken 7 can't hit 1080p.

it's just pathetic. xbone is even worse. just keep your pc. it's so, so much better.

The only reason you think it has better controls/UI is because it's limited to what you can comfortably do with that setup. You can impose the same limitations on PC if you want (e.g. XBMC, Steam Big Picture) and with >>382548850 still have access to the more advanced stuff when you need it.

if you're so desperate for a console UI you can literally just use big picture. i've never had an issue with it, ever. it's nicer than the xbox one interface too.

for gaming? ability to have higher fidelity graphics, higher framerates for a smoother experience, full mod support e.g. skyrim which only has partial mod support on xbox and no mod support other than shitty map maker edits on ps4.

for general functionality? well i don't even need to answer this because everyone knows how much better a pc is at this.

The hell do you even mean? You can scale the display to be comfortable. Big Picture mode is pretty much made to be used with a controller. You could use a wireless keyboard / mouse or just get USB extension cords or something similar.

PC has a wealth of options available to you, and the vast majority of them are cheaper and easier than ditching the whole thing for a console.

>If you want to use an example you probably want to use a good one
skyrim is one of few modifiable games on xbox one and it's not even full mod support like the pc's as i explained. it only has partial mod support. you're limited to the small amount of "bethesda certified" mods on their store when the there are hundreds of thousands more which are available like whole new maps.

still waiting for a single objective reason why my xbox is better than my pc.

Are you implying PS3 wasn't also an absolute failure at launch and faced its biggest competition ever with 360 and Wii doing so well?
Did Sony abandon the platform like Nintendo did to WiiU, or did they instead correct their errors and kept building momentum, managing to surpass 360 in both sales and games after 2010 until the end of the generation?
If anything PS3 was a much bigger failure than WiiU since it put Sony in the red BIG time, they lost a shit ton of money from the generation - yet Sony didn't rush out the PS4 like Nintendo did with the Switch. Neither did they (and 3rd parties) stop supporting PS3 software-wise after PS4's launch like Nintendo did

I just got a steam link and it's running flawlessly. 5-7ms of latency is imperceptible to me. I got a logitec k400plus keyboard so now my tv is fullblown fucking computer. I'd definitely recommend the Steam Link, just be aware, you'll need to buy a Fit GS hdmi dongle to plug into your PC so you can use the Steam Link with the monitor of the host computer off. Wired connection is also preffered if you want low latency. A powerline adapter turns the copper wiring in your house into an ethernet cable so you can use that if you don't want to deal with long wires.

i'm communicating with a spastic. what a revelation.

still waiting for a single objective reason why my xbox is better than my pc.

even if it was that easy all the time it's not like Netflix or the built in streaming service in xbone is any worse

It is if you live outside America. Netflix has fuck all to watch and a bunch of bullshit "you are forced to watch it with these subtitles" shit.
>>
>>382555130
what points? You're saying HDMI-IN outputs at 720p and your "proof" are a handful of people saying it isn't working precisely because it's outputting at 720p. I don't think I'm the challenged one here

you don't even need this. i have the showbox app on my phone and my tv is a smart tv (chromecast also works with this) and i can stream any video from showbox to the tv natively. like it's not streaming from my phone to the tv, it's actually sending the streaming link to the tv and the tv streams it via it's own methods. any smart tv can do this.

just get showbox app and localcast app (or iphone equivalents). crisp 1080p streaming with no ads. it's literally free netflix. you can do the same with popcorn time btw (pic related).

Nice try.

I run the cables when the house was being remodeled. It's more than 20 meters distance and it works perfectly.

Also, to control the PC remotely I use my smartphone with the Universal Remote app.

Am I the only one who always have preferred consoles?

no it doesn't. there are other methods like chromecast. would you rather buy a $300 console or a $20 chromecast for tv streaming?

I don't see why you couldn't invest in a bigger screen and center your entertainment around the PC itself.
Here's my setup with a 34" 3440x1440 display. I am planning to move to an even larger ultrawide later on. Will shop around and switch my desk up too. I have this hooked up to a Denon receiver powering a 5.1 setup (the drum like thing is an SVS subwoofer)

Yet again you show you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, let's see:

Except it's literally just a passthrough.

except it's not you dense idiot. how the fuck do you think the xbox has the tv guide overlay and shit. if it's "literally just a passthrough" then you would't have any of these features. there is a dedicated hardware receiver in the xbox which handles all of this. it's also how you can attach an aerial receiver to the xbox and watch tv on the xbox without a cable box.

My pc is upstairs and my tv is downstairs. I'm not running a cat5 cable and 2 (possibly 3 for a pad too) USB extensions down the stairs and through the hall. That's fucking idiotic

just use a powerline extension. cheap as fuck

Why the hell would you still be using cable by 2017? A TV isn't much different than a monitor with a tuner built to the back of it.

Ok but we're talking about using cat5 as hdmi extensions, can't do that with a power line adapter, and you still have the problem of inputs across the house

1 usb extension with 1 USB port expander hub thing to give you 4+ usb ports you reatrd

Just because you're too slow to process 60fps doesn't mean others aren't. Also, it's not a flat 30fps on consoles, it constantly dips and freezes, something I never even noticed until moving to pc (console only for nearly 14 years). It's not just arena fps, it's racing games, action rpgs and pretty much anything that requires a quick reaction, which is basically every except non-real-time strategy. It ruins the experience for, I audibly cringe when I see it on my ps4 now because I got so used to 60fps.

That's really the problem I find. I can tell the difference between 60 and 30fps, but I can deal with the latter. What annoys me, though, is when I see dips in the frame rate, and that happens frequently on console. I wish devs would stop unlocking the framerate on consoles if the game can't hit a constant 60. The incessant fluctuations between 40 and 60 ruin the experience. I'd rather they just locked it at 30.

Another area where PC offers a better experience to consoles is that you can tailor the game to your needs and hardware. If you're having performance issues, you can tweak the settings to run at the frame rate you want, or lower the frame rate so it can look nicer, With consoles, you're stuck with whatever the dev decided on.

It's still a bunch of cables down the stairs for a 3ms benefit. No thanks

not if you do it right

but that's why I got a console anyway, streaming is shit
