What is the appeal of PC gaming anymore?

>>713733435 (OP)
This game is 0 dollars on pc

>>713733492
fpbp

>>713733492
With no online lol

>>713733549

>>713733549
lol don't care

>>713733549
same like ps5 without ps online

>€euro poor faggot

>>713733657
Ps online still costs less time and money than your $1200-2500 PC plus monitor plus mouse plus keyboard plus desk chair plus desk plus mousepad plus speakers or headset plus tip plus tariff plus taxes plus troubleshooting plus inconsistent presentation due to unnecessary graphical settings taking away from developers artistic intention plus inconsistent frame rates plus controller if you want to play the game right plus tip plus tariff plus taxes again plus the much higher power bill
Meanwhile
>Go to store
>Buy PS5
>Install game
>Play without troubleshooting, messing with settings, bugs, increased hackers. With a consistent 60 fps and good graphics and no bugs because the game was optimized for this piece of hardware specifically.
Wow it's almost like... *Face of shock* GAMING CONSOLES WERE MADE FOR GAMES???

>>713734125
>Install game
>game

>>713734254
When are you playing Mario Kart World bro. Or astrobot. Or the new dark souls game. Or any Nintendo first party.
PS5 has every game worth playing that PC does and the ones it doesn't like TF2 or League or whatever can be played on a toaster. Get a MacBook pro and a switch 2 and a PS5 pro because that's what all of my rich cute friends have and I would know cus I suck their dicks a lot.

>>713734125
where does the 1k dollar TV and 1k couch fit in your narrative

>>713734125
>consistent 60 fp-ACKKKK

>>713734125
>$1200-2500
budget builds can go for around $700, sometimes less
>monitor, desk, etc.
wow didn't know a ps5 came with a tv, couch, speakers, and headphones
>tariff
you know Sony is Japanese, right?
>troubleshooting
works on my machine ;)
>unnecessary settings and artistic vision
then the devs wouldn't have made and settings to begin with, just don't touch em i guess
>power bill
i'm not a 3rd worlder

But hey you're right, it is made for games...and midwits

>>713733435 (OP)
neekeri

>>713734985
46 fps is fine you never notice it because of the camera not moving autistically fast like a mouse without smoothing

>>713734760
Couch is unnecessary and you can get $200 4k tvs

>>713735384
A $700 PC will not run elden ring in the narrative that people here craft pretend it does

I play from my bed and my TV has speakers and was $200 and it's 4k

Tariff was a joke

You've never had any issues with any game ever on your PC? Cause I don't believe you, pretty much everyone does at some point.

picked up a ps5 copy of elden ring for $20 earlier this year, don't think it's ever been that low on steam.

>>713735661
You tell em sister.

>>713735384
Also game settings are only there because it became industry standard because of total biscuit and publishers and wanting to sell as many copies as possible despite the game not looking like it's supposed to on low settings or how it's supposed to on high settings usually either. Not touch them is not an option for some people and if you can barely afford a PC and need to turn them lower you might as well get a console that can run them better for a lower cost.

Also you probably have never even measured how much energy your PC is using but it's significant and adds up over time because this is all about cost.

>>713735835
Not even close.

>>713733657
OMEGALUL

>>713735661
>46 fps is fine

>>713733435 (OP)
Er is the best game...no best human made art ever made
79€ is nothing for this gem

>>713736326
>he doesn't have low standards
ngmi

>>713733435 (OP)
I can emulate any game i want, as long as i have the space for it.

>>713735661
>A $700 PC will not run elden ring
it will run better than the ps5 version

>>713735661
>You've never had any issues with any game ever on your PC
only older games that aren't even on console

>>713735889
>Better graphics
Only if you're well off and want the unintended experience graphics do not matter how PC people claim they do. They are a victim of graphics card companies marketing well.
>Patches
Irrelevant
>Better online community
Subjective but also just not true anymore it's all homogenized now
>Free online
Consoles paid online always comes with bonuses and you only need to pay it when necessary and it's very cheap
>Mods
Awful. Modifying art in a way it shouldn't be for personal gratification instead of appreciating it for what it is and all the work that went into it. Mods are cancer.
>Sound
That's objectively just not true
>Controls
lol Games were always meant to be played on controllers basically. I tried playing controller designed games with a keyboard before and it's actually sad and I really genuinely don't know how people do it. Like dark souls I can't imagine using a keyboard and mouse for that lol.
>Dedicated servers
Not really anymore sadly
>Skill ceiling
Not true especially when gyro exists too and only really is an argument for fps but you can argue that the skill ceiling is higher on console because it's "harder" to aim. But also you can argue that a higher skill ceiling isn't even a good thing to begin with, most people want games that are easier to play and have fun with others with with not as large of a gap between skill.
>Backwards compat-
Every Nintendo console has this and every recent Microsoft and Sony console does too
>RTS games
Not even true and every console you can use a mouse and keyboard with now
>Upgradable hardware
Wowee I can spend $4000 on a 5090 for 20 more fps and raytracing that doesn't even look that good and be forced to turn on DLSS and get artifacting and ruin it because those 20fps only added up to 70 and anything under 120fps isn't enough for a hardcore gamer like me!
Complete rhetoric but you get the point it's kind of sad.
>Compat.
Third party controlers exist

>>713735661
price of the tv doesn't really matter, my point is that both pc and consoles have added prices that aren't part of the system itself. also, ps5 relies heavily on upscaling to achieve "4k", something pc can easily do with fsr and dlss

I can't lie, occasionally something doesn't work, but it usually isn't something that can't be solved with 5 mins, worst case scenario, i'm installing a community made mod/patch. Not everything is perfect alas, see pic related, but that's the true appeal of PC, you get far greater freedom and customization at the cost of convenience.

>>713737006
tldr?

>>713737358
it takes a LOT of mental gymnastics to be a console cuck

I unironically switched to gaming primarily on a PS5 from PC. I still own a PC, an RTX 3080 one from 2021 I bought but I rarely if ever play games on it anymore. If I want to play something I just play it on the PS5.

Been playing most of my older games from the PS4 era and earlier on the PS5, I just wish there were more PS3 games on it I might actually buy a PS3 just to play older games since I sold my PS3 ages ago.

Playing Death Stranding 2 right now too, I like the controller, I like sitting on a couch and playing games even though I'm at my PC right now posting this.

>>713737006
>Mods are cancer
You wouldn't say that if you've ever tried to play Sims 4 without mods.

>>713738145
I wouldn't play it because white people can't make good video games

>>713733435 (OP)
there are more things than gaming on a PC. coding, video editing, photo editing, etc.

>>713737358
>consoles can do that too
>if consoles can't do it then you don't need it and it's bad to want to do that anyway, actually
There.

>>713738378
Never said Sims 4 was a good game. In fact, Mods were the only reason i was playing such a shitty game: They made it playable

>>713733435 (OP)
I like everything about gaming on PC from planning the build, building it, stress testing it and playing games on it in anyway I want. I respect the overall simplicity and accessibility of consoles, but gaming on one just isn't my cup of tea. I hate how locked down they are. Also, consider using key selling sites for legit copies of games. This goes for PC and console.

>>713735915
why shouldn't there be more options to appeal to as many people as possible? Not looking how a dev intended means nothing if they have to depend on a console's constraints, sometimes a console version looks worse than a pc version on low specs.

Unless you're running a best of the best enthusiast build, the power difference isn't "significant". Even browsing the web is only ~100 watts.

Console troglodytes are accustomed to everything shitty that the PC solves
>loud FUCK noises
As a console shitter, they don't hear them because BOOM CRASH BANG HONK HONK HONK HONK WEE-OOOOO WEE-OOOOO
>shitty gampad
Nah man, the gamepad is good for them because they've got the whole market nearly-- games are designed AROUND THAT SHITTY GAMEPAD. Remember the first-person shooter segments of San Andreas? kek
>no MODS no PORN no library of LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING /vr/ game
I MUST CONSOOM NEW SHIT. I AM A CONSOLE KEK. FART.

>>713733492
is it on game pass?

>>713740119
It really depends on how many monitors you have plugged in and what type of computer you have, what operating system you use, etc.

Anyway in regards to graphical settings, the game has been designed from the ground up with an idea of looking a certain way, and achieving a certain look. Settings can muddy these ideas and cause the game to feel and play differently causing slight dissonance between how it feels and sounds and how it looks because it wasn't made with it looking like that in mind. Your brain can perceive things differently, cause you to make different decisions, feel different ways, or just entirely not like it. Also having it look exactly the same for everyone creates more of a unification between people who have played it, everyone had the exact same experience and can communicate on the same level about it because their subconscious saw the exact same thing along with their conscious mind. You shouldn't be able to just modify art to make it"better" for you. Art exists how it is and you either enjoy it and appreciate it or you don't or you don't like it entirely but that's what makes it what it is. You wouldn't delete things from movies or books you don't like, you appreciate it for what it is and love it for what it is. This has real consequences but it also has importance beyond these things on more of a metaphysical level and should be treated with more respect and less capitalism. Because honestly most developers feel the same and the only reason graphics settings exist is to sell more copies.

>>713733435 (OP)

Gaming? m&k is infinitely better and you can pirate every game ever made

>>713733549
only retards with no real life achievements care about multiplayer in video games.

>>713740903
It's a core part of elden ring retard you can't see messages and etc without it Jesus Christ your are so dumb

>>713741246
Is it really a core part when you can comfortably complete the game without it? Hell, you don't even need online to summon in elden ring.

>>713733492
fpbp
>>713733549
who cares about souls multiplayer nigga it's always been shit

>>713742741
It's a core part of the game because it was designed to be played that way. I CAN BEAT MARIO WITHOUT PRESSING LEFT OR USING POWER UPS HOW IS IT A CORE PART OF THE GAME

>>713733435 (OP)
Atari's Adventure. /Thread.

>>713740873
>grey market
Might as well pirate.

>>713733435 (OP)
Old games sorta work on cheap PCs, you can download games for free if you know where to look, mouse+keyboard is still the best way to play FPS and RTS games.

>>713733435 (OP)
I can play actual good games instead of coping with marketed garbage like ER.

>>713743094

>>713736132
Physicalchads win again

>>713733818
it's just retarded shit like dresses and thongs, no actual change to the game

>>713744149
>20 bucks for the 30fps 720p version

>>713734125
Imagine paying to use the internet twice

>>713744718
You already pay twice, you need to pay rent to pay for Internet

>>713733435 (OP)
serious question, are you retarded?

>>713734125
playstation with a goy + subscription for 5 years is $900, that is the base to enjoy all the features of your shitty console faggot

>>713735915
what third world shithole do you live in that a fucking pc is enough to add "significant" cost to your electric bill

>>713742938
Nah, it's more like the tacked on co-op mode in mario bros 3. I don't understand the mental gymnastics you're trying to perform here. The multiplayer in any souls game is like whip cream on a milkshake.

>>713745848
It adds up over time this is why ur poor

>>713745573
lol i pay for neither

>>713738541
porn and taxes

>>713747067
I don't either my master buys me everything I want

>>713733549
>no online
Alright, then you add $60 to the PS5 game since you have to pay for online and the paid PC version is now cheaper

>>713733818
>mods
>99% are porn coomer shit
>0.5% are community fixes and QoL features
>0.5% are mods that add content and changes to gameplay
lol

>>713734125
Just buy a PC, everyone has an unhinged rant till they get one.

>>713733549
Add $60 online to the PS5 version then

>>713733435 (OP)
Because I can play it at 120fps on an ultrawide

>>713744149
>30 fps
I wouldn't play that even if I was the one being paid $21

>>713747551
you have zero idea what you're talking about

>>713733549
>no online
>no tryhard PvP
>no interaction with fromdrones
>can mod it without worrying about getting banned
You don't need to sell it any harder, I already "bought" it.

>>713747772
>he still thinks it's $60

>>713747551
>he doesnt replace his character, every NPC, and every enemy with futa foxgirls

NGMI

>>713747772

>>713747654
I used to have a PC but it's just annoying, consoles are much more fun and I can afford all of them because I'm not poor

>>713747551
You get gems like Watch Dogs Living City mod in that 0.5%, so I'll take it.

>>713733435 (OP)
>Lisää ostoskoriin

>>713733435 (OP)
Piracy makes games free.

>>713733435 (OP)
Non-existent, people who assembled their computers more than 8 years ago are still using the same shit without any mayor changes.

>>713748398
>but it's just annoying
This but consoles are far more annoying. I own a hacked PS4 and I hate that shit so much to the point that I've already transferred all of my saves to PC and I will finish all of my games on Shad PS4 instead soon
I have massive consoleshit fatigue

>>713747995
i'm guessing like with 99% of console port slop it also has dogshit p2p "netcode"/no dedicated servers

>>713748398
You gave up better performance, better graphics, mods, Auto HDR, every controller option and remap, free online play, piracy, emulation, better sales, ultrawide, higher refresh rates, endless amount of games, etc, because you're a lazy bastard who can't manage anything and find it annoying? Nah. Go bait elsewhere cunt.

>>713748234

>>713737006
lol brown person opinion

>>713748958

lol why do you care what others use to play video games on?

>just accept less benefits bro!
fuck off

>>713749298
>it's important to stream ps1 games
really?

I'm boycotting the Internet until it returns to a whites-only space. This extreme decline is unacceptable.

Oh sorry, didn't realise you're an ESL

>>713749414
>you're esl.
You're thick as fuck if you believe that wasn't english

>>713749385
maybe it wouldn't be so important if the Ps5 had some games of it's own

>>713733435 (OP)
>>713733549
ER with dlc is 60 euros on cdkeys. Key sites are the PC equivalent of buying physical in terms of pricing.

>>713749502
It's ok retard, you outed yourself a few times I see now

>>713749579
I have over 300 games on my account.

>>713749587
>I have nothing but to call people brown or esl

>>713749042
we are getting scammed wtf

>>713749647
...and none are exclusives

>>713748958
Games look and run good
HDR is on consoles however the devs intended
Mods are shit
I'm not too poor to pay for membership
Piracy is retarded and emulation is too and I have a computer that can do both but I just buy the consoles and games
Better sales is insane to think
Ultrawide is shit
Higher refresh rate is a meme and not true anyway
Games aren't endless and there are a ton you don't have and the bottom of the endless pit are all trash and the ones that aren't are on console
No I'm not lazy I just actually value my time and experience I don't have time to autistically sit at my computer get an emulator run the game it has a bug spend thirty minutes googling to try to fix it can't fix it update the BIOS file etc etc etc etc etc
It's stupid, you have no valuable time and no valuable job and no valuable social life if you spend your time doing that shit and half the things you listed are actually insanity levels of coping you've convinced yourself of to justify the 50% of your yearly paycheck you spent on your inferior form of a hobby

>>713749724
so? they're games. I don't care if I can play them on other devices.

>>713747918
you spend more time looking for mods then playing the fucking game

>>713749749
tl;dr time to get a life

why are pc fags so vile?

>>713749749
>Piracy is retarded and emulation is too
what makes you say that?
