What is FPS, a genre that degraded because of consoles and casual appeal?

gr8 b8 m8

Speak for yourself. Sitting in front of a monitor in the dark is incredibly comfy.

All I‘m gathering from this is that you own an uncomfortable chair, a small monitor and have shit taste

Yes, but FPS is a console-oriented genre now. It hasn't been relevant on PC since the early 00s.
Try to discuss it instead of shitposting for once.
Nope, I'm just telling you what I gathered from 2 years of PC gaming I did a few years ago. I don't mind RTS games, but I can live without them.

>watching a small, low res monitor screen
A 24" 1440p monitor has a 40% higher PPI than a 50" 4k TV.

Darksydephil?
is that you?

Based, this is 100% true.
Sony Chad here btw.

It is soulless, I agree. Even when you hook up your display to a TV and sit on the couch, it just feels... lacking.

No time for stupid buzzwords like "soulless" when the games don't play like shit

because it's traditionally dominated by western shit while consoles have been traditionally dominated by japanese kino.

Because the consoles are standardized hardware, the PC is whatever you build.

The mouse and keyboard FPS gave us the arena shooter. A genre that contaminated videogames culture a led to the stupification of the whole medium.

Genuinely who makes this thread? If you‘re an idort there is no reason to play on a console except for the odd exclusive.
PC has worthwhile exclusives too, infact most games on the steam stat page don‘t exist on consoles

I love when consolefags beg for a remaster when I can run a last gen game in 4k.

PC gaming is a meme that got pushed by Reddit, now it's even worse because zoomer kids that watch their favorite streamers are falling for it too.

If you want to play games buy a console, there's literally no difference. Framerate only matters for racing and fighting games, but even now on consoles they're at 60 so what's the point?

As opposed to being unable to do anything in case of malfunction or crashing and having to accept 18 frames per second as the norm because there's no modular upgrading?

it doesn't matter what the fuck you play on. all of modern gaming is soulless

lurk more

If you're selling your PC can I have your graphics card?

Have fun with the SonyStore dumbo

Because it is. Theres's no soul in sitting in a dark room inches away from a screen hunched up like a gremlin, playing shovelware weeb trash and indie treehouse building simulators.

Didn't get game of the generation or the other highest rated games of last year. So glad I didn't fall for the over-glorified console port machine meme

PC has a better library, but actually having to wait for new good games means you value those games that much more. PC is just spoiled and so they quickly become jaded and enjoy video games less than console players.

Digital only and it is the one that popularized most of the cancers that killed gaming. It was full of soul before Valve ruined it with Steam. I tried to get people to boycott Valve into bankruptcy after they launched Steam and released HL2 but no one listened, I just pirate now. Valve has done more damage to gaming than any other company

Fixed that for you.

If you think console gaming isn't soulless, you're just in a comfort zone because you still believe consoles, the gaming of your childhood, is still somehow relevant after being surpassed in every single way by the PC and it's all about stupid, horrible nostalgia to you and that's the only reason you feel "comfortable" despite it being the exact same pile of shit modern gaming as on PC.

Go play old games. On PC.

Happened with Nioh and Yakuza too

Why do you care what the "community" thinks? You're getting definitive versions of games, fuck those faggots.

fuck off quentin

I haven't had a console for a long time, did they finally get party chat on playstation?
That's good news at least.

Nioh and Yakuza were both bad to begin with.

so, just like steam? well, except for the fact that console chads haven't destroyed physical distribution of games like valve did.

I play on PC and almost exclusively pirate, the only games I pay for is the occasional DRM free physical release
Paying for a download is no different than console cucks paying for online, you idiots are paying to use the internet connection you already pay for either way.
Only casuals and console immigrants use Steam and pay for downloads.

Imagine being a PC lardass

You shouldn't be using Steam or paying for downloads to begin with, just pirate

I'm Australian, last month I had a straight two weeks of no internet access and I could play all of my steam games offline, why lie?
Long after your hardware is gone my files will still be on my NAS.
I still have installations of games from 10 years ago,and if I didn't there are archives of cracks for every game ever fucking made, I grabbed one the other day for the LOTR3. If you google SSE you can learn to crack any steam game without 3rd party DRM (99%) in 10 minutes yourself.
Also I'm downloading DMC5 right now for free
Good man, although I admit I buy some games.

Steam have an offline mode.
It's a bit bothersome but it does work.

The ironic thing is, the only good game on the left is Bloodborne still. Every single one of them is mediocre (GoW) or awful (U4, Infamous)

>buying anthem
>playing anthem
yikes!

You shouldn't be using Steam or paying for a download to begin with. Paying for a download is not buying a game so no, you don't buy some games.

Imagine a world without consoles, games would be nothing but shovelware, pixelshit indie games and hentai novels.

Can you guys even imaging being such a big loser you genuinely give a shit about what other people think about which fucking VIDEO GAME system you choose so you unironically post in this thread defending your choice. Imagine being a grown ass adult male and doing this. Holy smokes I think I would legitimately kill myself if my life ever got to that point.

A laptop for video games, the worst of both worlds
That's embarrassing.
It at least makes sense, Valves CDN costs a lot of fucking money, they invested billions into my tiny country so they have to be doing something.

There would be nothing at all because they are poorfag third worlders who pirate everything.

Whatever you tell yourself to justify purchasing a 400$ settop-box for 1 worthwhile video game to last you 3 years instead of a 1000$ for hundreds of worthwhile games to last you 6-10 years.

>running .exe files on a workstation that wasn't designed to play video games
play games on a computer that is meant to play games. also you can actually multitask on a computer, that's pretty fucking cool actually. if you want to listen to music when you play a game you go right ahead and do it, champ. compared to something like the xbone or PS4 where you have to wait 60 seconds to go into the menu, and another 60 seconds while you wait for it to update and it's laggy as fuck and you are navigating to your music, and another 60 seconds to pick the song/playlist you want and play it. wanna open a webpage on your computer to look something up? go ahead. it'll open lickety split. wanna do it on an xbone or PS4? be prepared to spend another 4-5 minutes trying to do that.
>sitting in an uncomfortable desk chair
this is just pulling at straws. use whatever fucking chair you want, idiot.
>keyboard and mouse instead of a controller which games are designed for
this depends entirely on the games you play, at least with a PC you have the ability to use whatever you want.
>no exclusives other than niche genres (RTS)
exclusives don't matter, these days everything is a port anyway.
>community is the worst out of all major systems
depends entirely on what games you play. the same thing can be said about any number of console games.

literally no rebuttal

To make PC gaming have soul you need a gloss or semi-gloss monitor, a mechanical keyboard (cheap ones are fine), a wired 360/Xbone controller and/or PS4 controller, a comfy arm chair and matching desk at proper height, BIAS lighting behind monitor (extremely important for image quality and eye strain), and a huge mousepad so you can get used to low DPI.

In PC games or even PC in general, you are get used to be in charge. Any attempt to reduce the user's power will face backlash.
In console you are used to be served because the only purpose of the machine is to play games (and some unrelated limited shits).
People who aren't used with pc ecosystem will feel overwhelmed. People who are used with it will feel constrained when using anything but it.
Both have it's pros and cons. But having a powerful pc exclusively for (console) gayming is a waste however. At least learn 3d modelling or encode some shits.

You have a tiny micro dick? Lmao what a surprise

How's using PC with 43" 4K? I am thinking to get bigger monitor, I saw tv is cheaper than monitor. But I'm rather anxious about the response rate. Do you notice any difference?

>Poorfag brainlets
But majority of pc players are poorfags with toasters.

This is dumb, I'm into PC hardware and tech solely as it pertains to games. I keep up to date on the intel/AMD shill wars and market competition and latest tech and benchmarks and I only care about video games. I have no interest in coding or 3D modelling but I love building PC's and pushing hardware to its limit with games and finding out how to get the most optimization possible in games.

If PC users cared about having power then Steam and all other digital distribution platforms would have never been accepted. Pirates are the only real PC gamers

I got scared of input lag and went for a 4K32" monitor + 40 inch TV when in bed, the TV is still 1080P but I'll worry about that later.
The 32" 4K is incredible, it's picture perfect.

kill yourself same poster

TV's today are fine for gaming, a 60hz monitor is going to have a true 10-15ms input lag and there are a few 60hz TV's that have 15-20ms input lag and good response time. Look them up on RTINGS, Samsung, TCL, and I think Vizio all have sub 20ms TV's. There are also a few true 120hz TV's that have input lag comparable to a 120hz monitor, but those are thousand dollar TV's.

that's the beauty of pc you can do whatever the fuck you want

>NEXT TIME WE'LL HAVE 4K60 YOU'LL SEE

spiderman is a literal kids game

It's great, takes some getting used to if you're coming from 27" or smaller but you'll never want to go back. Just make sure to adjust the FOV properly in games. I don't understand why more people don't get a nice ~43" 4K TV for less than half the price of a 30" monitor or less, if you do your research and make sure it doesn't suffer from some common TV issues like input lag and dynamic contrast you can't turn off it's just as crisp as a monitor. Although you'll have to forego the 144/288hz meme and settle for 60hz or 75hz at best since no GPU exists that will run games at 4K@144hz/fps obviously, but I massively prefer resolution to anything over 60hz.

Less comfy because you're on a chair instead of a couch

At the end of the day you're playing on a typewriter instead of a cool controller with colorful buttons

Like most poorfags here has any of those. Most people here who plays on consoles sit on the floor on their 1 room apartments.

Well, there are people doing dumber shits. More power for you.
There are still a lot of pc gamers like that. That kind of attitude only possible in PC where ability to pirate is almost a guarantee.
>Pirates are the only real PC gamers
I hoard tons of games, I buy games through steam or gmg or humble sometimes just because I feel like it. I understand they need to make money somehow.
Same here.
I use my pc for programming and office jobs so I'm rather worried about how the text will looks like and how straining to eyes it will be. I guess I will just get the tv and jack it into 2nd hdmi slot for gaming purposes.

in what way please elaborate on why you think that. I'm almost positive you're completely stupid

every console fag ive ever worked with unironically believes most of these things

You're right on the part where PC wasn't meant for gaming, it's just been something that it could do and handle for a long time. The OS isn't entirely built for gaming because if it was, oof. That'll be the end of consoles.

>Yes, but FPS is a console-oriented genre now. It hasn't been relevant on PC since the early 00s

No, it really isn't. You just think that because you only play on consoles.

Holy shit, why did so many PClards take this bait? Insecure much?

Why does it feel like PC has no games?

I scroll through steam and there's literally nothing I want to play even if I can pirate it all for free. I just end up playing fucking visual novels and gacha games on my phone.

PC.ucks BTFO

Pirating and modding take all the charm away from game releases. Plus the endless barrage of shovelware and indieshit that actually gets popular (getting over it, dream daddy, etc). Games just don't have the same weight to them

holy based, pcponies seething

Steam is shit for digging up games.
Pirate sites are a better place to look up titles since no one would crack a game that isn't worthwhile.

For me it's the lack of couch comfy, I still only play on my PC tho.

Quit bumping the thread OP. Its fucking shit, even your shit thread became a discussion thread for a while, let it die at that.

You want the honest answer? The OP is right. PC gaming is pretty soulless. Even though you have access to pretty much any game, it doesn't really feel like you do. Steam feels lonely and empty. Not to mention you get distracted with 4channel funposting easily.

yeah on tiny cooridoor game with max 3 enemies on screen that runs at 900p60fps on a gtx 750 ti

>I use my pc for programming and office jobs so I'm rather worried about how the text will looks like and how straining to eyes it will be. I guess I will just get the tv and jack it into 2nd hdmi slot for gaming purposes.
Text looks fine and this screen is AH-IPS or just plain IPS so it's not straining in the least, my previous was also IPS but the one before that was TN and that was actually pretty harsh on the eyes.

There is an issue where certain highly specific tightly packed text/characters can appear slightly discolored blueish/red when they're actually black, but my real monitor also had that somewhat, and it's not bothersome in the least, normal text looks fine, it's just those rare unicode characters you rarely see that for some reason confuse the RGB pixel matrix or something.

You should really do research and read all the reviews you can though, most TVs have unusable levels of input lag, mine does too unless I disable "computer mode" (paradoxically) which supposedly turns off all the post-processing stuff, but I can disable all that manually anyway, now it's like 20ms which is fine. It wasn't easy to find a 43" 4K with an IPS screen but when it was on sale during 2017 black friday for 400 down from 600 I couldn't resist and I haven't regretted it one bit, it's great for everyday use and downright spectacular in games, playing Dishonored 2 feels almost like having VR if you set FOV to 100/110+.

Forgot, also make sure to check that the screen can actually do 60hz over Displayport or HDMI and that it has multiple capable inputs so you can plug in PC and for example a console at 4K without having to switch the cables, plenty of TVs only have 1 4K60-capable input.
