>>384696362
well some people like building pc's and stuff. just another hobby. it gets pricey if you want to be high-end all the time. i personally don't care about fps or having the bestest graphics. around 7 years old build. still does what i need it for. should update soon but like said it's old build so would have to replace most of the shit. probably near $1000 for middle end pc that i wouldn't have to mess around with in years. and on most of the consoles you can pirate games anyway. i don't know i have bunch of consoles and pc don't really get all these platform wars.
>>
>>384696181
I like it because I am a technology enthusiast and don't mind fixing stuff. The control scheme and graphics are better, but the cost upfront should give it that. Emulation is also a major point, having every game fifth gen down emulated is amazing. Multimedia functions are great. It's just overall a better package.

It's cheaper when you put the effort in. If you buy a pre-built and do nothing but game on steam all day, yeah it'll seem like a weaker experience, but the true master race builds their own PC (and can run circles around all three next gen consoles for about 400 bucks). You can also pirate every single game for free for a library unparalleled by any other. Of course, if you're a man of morals, you'll want to buy your games, so GOG will be your go-to place. If you're worried about DRM and you don't like using steam, GOG lets you download your games without any software anytime, and you can play them forever online and offline.

It's a model other service providers can learn from, like Nintendo and their fetish with making people buy the same games over and over again on VC.
>>
A pc is more costly upfront but cheaper in the long run due to sales, sites, pirating, emulation and having the ability to change settings manually. Processors age gracefully for the most part as well so the part you'll usually have to change will be your GPU if you find it's not strong enough for your needs.

This. A lot of console kids seem to assume that PC players change their parts every year. The kind of folks who buy high end parts as they're released are a small, very dumb minority that likes to waste money for minimal gains. (Assuming they're only gaming). Most people are set with a decent CPU and midrange GPU.

>>384699723
I've been using the same CPU for 6 years and am probably going to upgrade it at Christmas. GPU is a Sapphire R9 290X which I bought 3 years ago, which is midrange as fuck but still manages 4k gaming on many titles. If I can't hit 4k on my TV, I can scale it down to 1440p and for everything else, I just use my 1080p/144hz monitor instead
>>
>>384700206
If by regularly you mean with intervals of several years that last longer than console generations. What always amazes me is the complete lack of understanding on console gamer's part of how long pc parts can actually last and how good most of them are. You seem to always think you need top of the line equipment for average performance and this is simply not true.
>>
>>384700418
THIS. You're set with-mid-high for a long while unless you just HAVE to max out every game forever.

>>384700501
To add to this. If a person is upgrading regularly, like the kind of person you might on /g/, it's because they found some enjoyment in the actual building of their pc. I found the very same enjoyment when building my first computer; it's fun.

Well, you can, but it's necessary unless you absolutely need to stay on the cutting edge of maxed settings in new AAA games; you can get away with only upgrading everything every couple of years, or maybe spreading out a bunch of individual upgrades over that span of time.

Pc gaming is cheaper in literally every way, i just built my best freind her first real pc, for less than 400$ with used hardware. It plays pretty much everything from 2016 and before at 60fps or more at 1080p, upscaled to her dads 4k tv.
Console gaming is EASIER. You don't have to think, or do anything difficult, you can just be an idiot, and still play a game.
If you care about your experience and money you play pc, because FOR NOW thats where all the benefits lie.

So if I want to play current AAA games at sub-1080p/60fps on low setting, are low-end builds okay or do I still have to go mid-high?

A PS4 is 200 now at retail, games constantly go on sale so fuck off with this "you have to buy every game at full price" and the good games on the system are singe player games, sony has no good online games so ps plus isn't even mandatory.

Anyone saying a PC for 200 that can even run games today are talking out of their ass.

This entire generation of next-gen consoles I've only upgraded my GPU(last time was in 2012) and I've been more hyped for new emulators coming out than any console game.

It's a blast trying out buggy Wii U, 3DS, 360, and now PS3 games and this year I've actually been able to finish PS3 and Wii U games without issue.

Having entire game libraries coming out for free and being able to mod them a bit is great.

Not only that but you'll eventually have to move on to the PS5 when sony abandons the 4 and said console may not have backwards comparability. I love consoles myself but largely moved to PC because I don't have the space for x amount of consoles.

That's because typical consolefags argument is that a console costs much less than a PC does, while simultaneously forgetting that you also need stuff like a TV to play on a console. Since i don't have a TV, i'd have to buy one which already makes buying a console much more expensive.
>>
>>384701806
>Buying overpriced crap
Your the problem.
>>
>>384696181
To be clear, that only applies to people who actually play more than 4-5 games a year. Of course if you only play 4 games a year a console is cheaper, but if you actually play a variety of games at different price ranges and have enough games to occupy your time that you can wait for $60 AAA releases to go on sale, PC is far cheaper. PC is a platform for people whose hobby is gaming, consoles are a platform for people who enjoy the occasional vidya (or who are too busy to game as much as they would like). Nothing wrong with that.
>>

The thing everyone doesn't take into account is that you don't need to buy an entirely new machine to PC game.

Same anon as previous. You build out of used parts because its cheaper, and usually they work fine. About the same rate as refurbished ps4's fail.
Plus you have free internet, cheap games, literally any contoller you want, an unending backlog o shitty games, and best of all, mods mods mods.

>>
>>384702362
Still isn't the pro's fault you dunce
>>
$400 for a console
$50 for a year of live
$60 for your average game
$55 for a second controller
$300+ for a "Good TV" to game on

$850 (At most) for a computer that will run every game substantially better at higher frame rates, better graphics, better controls, mods and free online, plus most games can be found on sale for dirt cheap.

PC Gaming is cheaper, and offers much more variety in terms of genres, emulators, and applications.

Because in the long term it is. You may have to pay more money upfront when you first get the thing, but 10 years from now, PC gaming is cheaper due to the higher frequency of sales and deals.

Asking why you'd buy a console when you already have a PC is a non-sequitur. It might be a valid question in and of itself, but it has nothing to do with the original subject.
>>
>>384703258
i just said that PC has a higher frequency of sales and deals you idjit. For every one sale and deal console games have, PC games already had 5. I didn't even touch upon the fact that consoles have to pay for online if they want to play P2P.
>>
>>384696181
It's simple. It's cheaper in the long run but gamers want satisfaction now so they spend the cash on a console and end up paying way more
>>
>>384703258

Of course they exist, but they're so far away from one another and they're usually only about 15-20% off. While PC gaming CONSTANTLY has sales upwards of 85% off. Hell, even triple AAA games that are only a month or two old will have sales for nearly 50% off on PC, yet only get a measily 10% on console.

It's all relative. Retail prices are much less forgiving to begin with, and discounts often aren't as good or as frequent. It's probably cheaper if you don't buy that many console games, but the situation starts favoring PC once the number of purchases increases.

That's your problem right there. Don't nitpick newer parts and wonder why they are so expensive. and besides any PC gamer will tell you that is isn't worth investing in the latest and greatest parts because they are stupid expensive. Unless you have the money for it then it's not worth getting ultra powerful parts to run games that cheaper parts can run at the same settings

Hardware in general is cheaper while offering not just a higher performance but also far more use over all of what the hell you can with it.
And the games are a fuckton cheaper in the long, or short even, too.

Now that's bullshit and you know it. Go compare prices of used games on Amazon to Steam's. Not to mention that the Steam sales have become inferior to the PS Store's.

I'd hazard a guess that you'd have to stay within the $350 to $400 range at a minimum, but absolutely no lower than $300. It's a good idea to do your own research, since you'd have a better idea of what you'd be playing and what settings/speed would be tolerable.

I'm legit certain the "PC MASTUR RRAAAACE" autists are all underaged. They have to be.

Anyone over the age of 15 doesn't take console war shit seriously. PCfags are just the worst contenders by far.

Being an oldfag I can tell you how cancerous PC gaming in general has always been. It fucking AMAZES me how in >20 years PC games still have the same issues lel

It's mainly huehues who have ridiculous hatred towards consoles for being so expensive in their dirty "country".
>>
>>384705293
60fps on most games is the only requirement. Graphically intensive games like Witcher 3 don't apply. I primarily intend to play Doom 4, Hitman TM and Phantom Pain.

I have two old 1:25 monitors given for free. There's no point in going higher than 1080p since I run in 1024p.

Building a good to fair pc that will tide you over for up to a decade is about as expensive as buying a new gen console on release.

Unlike consoles, most games can still be played on new pcs decades later - albeit using emulators, but that doesn't stop anybody.

Not only does a pc allow you to play older games, it also allows you to play newer ones with tuned down graphics, whereas new console games almost always require you to buy one of the newest generation consoles to enjoy them.

Add to that the ability of a pc to emulate many consoles (especially handheld ones) and run games that also got published to console.

Add to that the huge market for free/indy/freemium games, most of which you won't have access to on console.

Add to that the huge amount of mods for games you bought, keeping the experience fresh for free.

Add to that the ability to upgrade your pc for a couple hundred bucks where you would have to trash your old console because they're famously hard to upgrade.

Add to that the cheaper peripherals - no expensive brand controllers, motion cams, waggle sticks or similar needed here.

Really bro, there's no contest. Coming from someone who owns the latest console and a good to fair pc because he's working.

Every time
>>
>>384707179
Damn, I guess me pirating one game is really hurting the industry that is steadily growing and is constantly trying to fuck over consumers for an extra 3 dollars.
>>
I pc game because it is much cheaper. Buy a 200 euro graphics card and I am good for over 4 years. Right now you can get a graphics card equal to the Xbox next for 240 bucks.

That is if you got one before the bitminers fucked everything.
>>
>>384707179
That hindrance is examplified by them fucking customers like you more and more for me pirating their game, oh no. Preorder more I guess.
>>
>>384696181

Because it is in the long run.
Since /v/ loves food analogies; it's like buying fresh groceries for $30 or more compared to buying fastfood (MC Donalds) for $10. However, with the fresh groceries you can cook at least 4 meals, more if you're being careful, which means it costs less than if you eat at MCD every day.

It's the same fallacy poor lardasses use as an excuse for their fatness.
>b-but fastfood is so much cheaper!
>>
>>384706268

I don't take it seriously. I just cringe everytime somebody tries to use fallacies as arguments.
Gaming on a PC is cheaper in the long run. This is a fact.
You can prefer to play on a console, I don't give a fuck, but a PC will do everything better for less money so I don't really get it.
Unless you really want some of the exclusives, which is understandable, but don't think a console will ever compete with a PC in raw money/power ratio.

Are you calling a GTX1070 a 'mid range' GPU? Really now?
>>
>>384696181
The partrican answer to that is not buy PC parts new. Buy used and build according to your budget. I built my general purpose pc for 160 USD.
>>
>>384705231
I bought mirrors edge catalyst for 5 dollars the other day on origin. That's 1/10 of the price for an AAA title that was released less than a year ago.

It's denial, it's like paying for a movie or a video game and having to defend it because you don't want to feel like you wasted your money.

On the contrary.
It's a hard, solid fact, with tons of hard to dismiss evidence. However, salty console fanbois can't swallow this bitter pill, and thus make up these threads to try and rewrite history.

You do the math OP

I need PC for work shit. Instead of buying a shitty console, I can put that money towards a better PC that can game well too. So the hardware is pretty much even, and it cheaper when you look at video game prices, various console fees (e.g. monthly fees for online access), and general compatibility in the long run (one machine to play everything vs needing multiple machines to play old and new games).
