Okay, can someone just give an honest answer? Apart from exclusives, WHY do you play games on a console? You are literally choosing the most inferior version to play in every single way
I get that 10 years ago, "it's more convenient" would be a decent argument, but modern PC is legit MORE plug n play than consoles (enjoy sitting 6 hours waiting for the forced updates to play any console game these days, on PC you can just disable it)
So can anyone who owns a console in 2019 just answer this: WHYYYYY?
It just feels better to turn on something made for gaming and get immersed instead of load up a game on your computer that's used for everything else and can also alt-tab to anything you want at a moment's notice. On a console, you're there and in.
Nolan Green
Didn't we had this thread already?
Colton Campbell
>console are better because they are less useful
Elijah Hill
Autists don't just make one thread, friend. They make it over and over and over and over and over. A copy of a copy of a copy of a copy, filled with the same responses and buzzwords.
i spend 10h and still get back home to use mine don't see the issue here
Leo Miller
I prefer gaming at 24-30fps, and I can't be fucked frame limiting every title I want to play. Ultra smooth frame rates just feel wrong, despite my ability to achieve them on my rig.
Michael Fisher
PCs are for work, consoles are for games. Easy as that. PC is also uncomfy and soulless as fuck. Keyboard + mouse games are also AIDS and not fun. It's great not being an obsessed graphics cuck
Julian Sanchez
There is literally no reason to play non-exclusive console games.
Brayden Jenkins
>don't see the issue here And that's exactly the problem pcvck
Jacob Gomez
>I prefer 30 fps, it's more cinematic
Grayson Gonzalez
I live în a shitty corupt country where the 1070s got immediatly removed from stores once the 2070 arrived, no price reductions. Also, more expensive than US prices.
Asher Torres
It's great not being an obsessed graphics cuck. I get to enjoy my games instead of having to spend thousand of dollars trying to fill the hole in my heart. Enjoy your containment launchers and Denuvo, pcbros
Jackson Nelson
>on PC you can just disable it You can do that on consoles too you know.
Caleb Bailey
>framerate is the same as graphics Enjoy your stuttering experience
Jacob Edwards
>Dude I swear the human eye cannot see the difference past 24 fps
Bentley Hall
>MHW coming out for PS4 first >Decide to double dip because I'm a huge MH fan >Buy the PS4 version and play though the "story" and some end game content >Overall a really disappointing experience >PC version finally comes out but decide to not buy it because better performance and faster load times don't fix the games issues
The consolefag argument for why they don't play on PC can be summarized as "cause I don't feel like it". There's no legit reason why anyone should play multiplats on a PS4 or Xbone. I give the Switch the okay because of the portability (playing in bed is great) but if you're playing multiplats docked on a TV, just don't bother.
Jack Reed
>dat loading
Can't you just stick an SSD in your PS4, though?
Gabriel Garcia
You're no fun
Joseph Lee
It's money and convenience. A PS4 Pro costs a fracture of a PC that is able to run the game like in the video.
Oliver Bennett
- easier to cheat/encounter cheaters is the only one I can come up with + Its also easier to mod a game to better the experience A Double edge sword. People might also pick a console for community reasons. The ps3 DS 1 community was more lively than its PC counter part back when I had both.
Benjamin Reyes
>right Ironically PC is still faster on a mechanical drive than the PS4 on a SSD. SSD on PS4 like maybe makes it almost as fast as PC mechanical. PC SSD is just near instant.
Ethan Taylor
I have chronic backpains when i sit longer than 1-2 hours so i rather play console games in my bed
Thomas Cooper
>Can't you just stick an SSD in your PS4 an ssd in ps4/pro would still be slower than pc hdd
Jeremiah Perez
Thats because of delayed release. Most people who caed about DS aplredy found a way to play it on one of the 2 consoles.
Meanwhile PC version of 2 and 3 sold almost as many and is just as lively on PC. Because of simultaneous release.
Tyler Watson
Loading screens can be fun.
Dylan Walker
You can do the same shit whit a PC. I unironically play my consoles on the same display i use for my PC. Hell i even prefer a PC display over a tv because its closer to my head more immersive. + PC monitor has more capabilities.
>MHW on PC comes out >massive disconnection issues that Capcom took weeks to fix >had to wait for a CPU performance patch as well PC is great for patient gaming. On release day shit's usually chaotic.
Easton Collins
Its strange you chose one of the worst PC ports in recent memory as an example for this.
Bought MH on PC at launch there were online issues, lightning attacks would cause stuttering, we didnt get proper HD textures until months after release, we have delayed content that consoles got first which continues to this day in the form of iceborne.
Overall a really dogshit port my man.
Bentley Brown
Consoles had the same DC issues. The game just bugs out when to many people play it at the same time. Capcom didn't think it would be a huge success so they didn't invest in better servers. And had massive load times and sub 30 fps.
Jaxson Carter
Ironically it still ran better than the console version.
Michael Lee
kys immediately
Isaac Scott
No PC was particularly affected especially after the Kulve Tarrot update. Never had a DC issue joining quests on PS4 personally.
I travel 400 miles a week and often go abroad. You want me to take a gaming PC with me in the airplane? Thanks I'll stick to my switch in handheld mode.
Joshua Stewart
Did they fuck
Carson Morales
i like buying my games on discs and carts
Henry Jones
>WHY do you play games on a console? To dab on the libs, gamer style.
Jeremiah Jenkins
>Apart from exclusives That's enough of a reason for me. Enjoy not being able to play those games for a decade I guess.
Julian Evans
Don't you have any other hobbies? Reading, watching and listening are all much better to do on the road than playing games.
Jacob Long
>apart from exclusives
I got nothing. i own consoles but i have a gaming pc aswell. I use my consoles only for exclusives. (switch for fire emblem, ps4 for persona 5 ect.) No xbox.
This for me as well. The early life of PS4 sounded promising, I got Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, GoW, etc. but after TLG the great drought happened so I made the Switch, then came back to PC once I cleared most Switch exclusives Never even though about Xbox for even a second.
Julian Clark
because games are not delayed by 8 months
Ryan Ortiz
>having to pay extra to play online Defend this console cucks.
Angel Powell
I love this fallacy, why do people always go on about how much cheaper consoles are. they are a BIT cheaper. but not that much cheaper.
Ps4 atlaunch: 400usd online for the generation: 60*7= 420
There, you're looking at close to 850 dollars after tax just for the console and online for the generation. you're more than 2/3rds the way toward a computer with that money. PC gaming isn't "more expensive", it just has a larger overhead cost.
Oliver Kelly
Ps3 and Wii U were the last consoles to have free online. Switching to PC should have been the best decision at that point.
Christopher Bailey
Time is cost as well, and convenience is why mobile gaming is so popular. >B-but it's easy to build a PC! Its STILL easier to literally download an Android app or boot a console disc
Joseph Smith
do pc elitists actually play games or do they spend all their time getting mad at people who dont play pc and boast about how much better they are?
Grayson Rivera
I only use my PC for playing low spec exclusives or older titles, even though it can handle better. For whatever reason I have a very hard time staying focused when I play on PC, my mind wanders a lot more. I don't really play many new games anyway and when I do it's the physical version on PS4 or Switch. The PS2 is the main platform I've been playing games on recently so it's obvious that I don't care about performance.
Jaxon Bennett
>consoles are better because you can't alt+tab lmao
If my car needed an oil change, I'd change the oil. You'd bring it to a mechanic to change it for you. it saves you time and it's more convenient.
different strokes.
Juan Long
>time is a cost aswell
It's not like it takes any longer than 2 hours to make a pc from scratch, but okay.
Andrew Wright
Cmon, you know the answer to this user.
Ethan Torres
I'm not a poor 12 year old so I cam afford to have a console AND a pc. A foriegn concept for many I know. Trust me though, it happens sometimes.
Ryan Moore
bitch if you take time into account pc wins too you waste more time watching loading screens on consoles than you would ever building a pc ? stupid retard
Juan Lewis
So how old are you?
Dylan Lee
>age is an excuse to waste money I hope you end up homeless.
Noah Carter
i have everything but an xbox (its redundant, i have a powerful gaming pc) there's still no way in hell i'm going to play an exclusive locked at 30fps especially something like an action game, turn bases jrpgs and stuff that's different
Nathan Davis
There are games on console that aren't available on PC. It's that simple.
I bought a ps4 for monter hunter world because I couldn't wait 8 months and holy fucking SHIT do I regret it. >played about 19 hours of MHW and dropped it >got up to the 2nd palace in persona 5 and dropped it because it was boring dating sim nonsense >only just stopped my PS plus last month the only time I turned it on was to play FIFA 19 with my best bud on the couch, watch netflix, or check the (invariably garbage) free PS plus games what a complete fucking waste of $500
On the long run PC is best because otherwise you end up with multiple consoles to connect due to lack of backwards compatibility. This is the first generation where no console has BC : the Switch has no BC, the PS4 compensates with Psnow and Xbox with the slow BC program
Nathan Rogers
>and can also alt-tab to anything you want at a moment's notice
Isn't that a good thing? And don't tell me you're not using your phone/tablet when you're playing on consoles anyway.
Austin Jenkins
The idea of a cumbrain being critical about anything makes me laugh
Elijah White
You can set up v-sync globally to half (30fps cap) for true console experience if you want. Then even your windows will run in 30fps :3
>this game requires firmware update before it can be played Why do you lie on the internet user?
They build ps4 is a way you connect HDD / SSD via some outdated crippled USB 2.0 like hub. Tldr its slow as fuck no matter what you do.
Slap controller into pc noob.
Its called notebook. Still way better for gaming on the go when you can sit down and put it on your legs. You dont even have to bend your spine as much as you have to with handheld. Not to mention its battery will last longer.
if you're unironically like this, you can still get a more low end PC for a decent price, cap it at 30 fps, get an SSD and not have to suffer console loading times and other bullshit
Logan Young
Consoles are standardized boxes of inferior, overpriced, and proprietary PC parts. However, it also means that the likelihood of hacks/cheats is almost zero.
For all games that aren't autismo multiplayer versus online only: PC Autismo multiplayer versus mode exclusive: Console
Asher Butler
oh cmon, I'm for building a PC but you can only build it that quickly if you know what you're doing. If you're a first timer it'll take much longer. Research time alone in purchasing will probably outweigh that time
James King
Yeah cheating in Souls PvP is something Bamco will never address. It's what ruined it on PC. Cheating on PC is as easy as toggling cheat engine live while PS4 only has a costly save editor.
Samuel Price
What was wrong?
Benjamin Collins
Depends on the game, for MHW i play console despite the worse performance because it gets its new content faster but in general shooters and strategy go on pc and action adventure games go on console
Michael Rodriguez
>he plays FPS with a controller
Get the fuck out
Julian Russell
Everyone I know personally that talks about how much better mkb is which I'm not arguing against mind you has shit aim in every shooter we play.
Daniel Kelly
muh auto aim quickscoping is superior
Justin Peterson
I don't want an ugly incel tower standing around in my house. I prefer having relationships.
