Been down this road myself and have come to the conclusion consoles are for me. I do IT work servers and workstations all day. When I come home last thing I want to do is troubleshoot why a game I have been playing is now crashing, a video driver update or constantly spending my nights tweaking settings like an OCD freak trying to get one better frame. Than having to launch 15 different services to play my games all with different friends list. Than having to pop in discord or teamspeak or use ingame settings to try and find people to talk to. All this to find out that the most common games I play like COD etc are dead on PC compared to consoles.
Add to that that HDR is still a mess on PC, and while console are far in superior to PC in many ways I can just plug and play 90% of the time.
I’m not bashing PC I have a 1080ti and a 2070 both which cost more than any console and a i7 8700k etc so I can easily game and get 60FPS in most game and while it looks better sometimes for me the experience of just playing the game makes my choice easier. If PS5 can deliver 4K 30 to 60FPS and 1080p 60fps constant (very likely it will) I’m done with PC’s.
This doesn't even consider things like exclusives, streamlined online play, collect ability, physical disk options, etc etc
i do IT too, desktop support technician feel the exact same way. i just want shit to fucking WORK. i don't want to troubleshoot why it doesn't and fix it. consoles rarely present that problem. gotta sacrifice customizeability for convenience, i guess

I've seen this copypasta but I agree.
I finally got a good job and bought + assembled the PC of my dreams but honestly after 8 to 10 hours at a desk I dont want more desk.

This tells me you're either unemployed or a burger flipper and talking out of your ass.

People always ask me why I don't build or fix my own PC - its because I'm a network tech for a living. I spend up to 12 hours every day fixing PCs and servers. The last thing I want to spend my free time on is fixing my own shit.

You posted this already fag

There are no advantages whatsoever with PC. Almost every title released is always poorly optimized because developers don't give a shit about PC. The population is significantly smaller and most of them pirate the game anyway. This leads to the other issue is that most communities die out just weeks after release. There's just not enough people unless it's a popular title like CSGO or League. Another problem is hackers. I've yet to play one online game on PC that didn't have them. It's fucking ridiculous. And the graphics argument is weak at best. Remember, developers will always prioritize the console version. Translation: they hold back the PC ports. So you're paying 1500 to play something that looks slightly better. Congratulations.
PC gaming isnt for adults. Its for kids that want to play csgo, mobas, early access MP garbage and BR games after school. Its literally pandering to 12 year olds with the cringe ass LED lightning designs while consoles are designed to target adults

>mfw I'm computer illiterate and I never had to fix anything or had any problem for a game (except nier and dark souls where I had to dl a mod) >try hard nerd are seething and troubleshooting or whatever oh no no no HAHAHAH, maybe do like me and ask the shop to build your PC if you're dumb

One of the biggest advantages the PC has over consoles is that there are a lot more games available for the PC than there are for consoles, particularly when it comes to multiplayer online games. Not only are the vast majority of MMOGs designed for the PC, but PC gamers have the option to play MUDs, email games, browser games, and a wide variety of titles that are distributed digitally or available as free downloads.
Another clear advantage PCs have over consoles is that you can use them for a lot more than playing games. If you like to modify games or edit maps for them, a PC is essential.
PCs are always on the cutting edge of gaming technology. The current generation of consoles with high-definition capabilities briefly narrowed the gap, but well-equipped PCs continue to offer superior graphics. High-resolution computer monitors and the latest multicore processors and dual GPU solutions make it possible to build a remarkably powerful gaming system. Even if a console offers incredible technology upon its release, there is no way for it to compete with the rapid hardware advancements that have become a way of life in the computer industry.
When it comes to online gaming, PCs give people a variety of ways to connect to the internet and to one another that aren't restricted to proprietary services or software. Different brands of computers and operating systems usually communicate well with one another. This is different from services like Xbox Live, for example, which is the only option available to Xbox users who want to play online and is closed to everyone who doesn't have an Xbox.
>I do IT work servers and workstations all day. When I come home last thing I want to do is troubleshoot why a game I have been playing is now crashing
it's crashing because the game developers suck and the engine sucks
you as an IT worker should know that better than anyone else. console won't solve your problem, you will just play same low effort cashgrabs with less crashes.
I feel you OP. Been PC gaming on and off since the 90s and it's never been less satisfying. It seems to take even more effort just getting in a hosted game with my old friends who only have slightly more time to game. It's like we spend more time troubleshooting and reinstalling than we do actually playing any games.

>buy old outdated hardware just because you want to sit in a sofa
just link your shit to the tv screen then, or are you just another trophy addicted zoomer that can't play a game unless he's awarded with shiny pixels for every mundane thing he does?
Dominic Butler
hahahahahahahahahaha
Leo Lewis
That's it, bros, I'm done too. I can't handle it anymore, having to google for a simple solution for an issue that happesn once every 200 games I play. I can't take paying U$ 6000 every 2 years anymore. I'm done with PC gaming.
Benjamin Thomas
doesn't steam have achievements or some stupid shit grampa? Your memory still workin'? How's the trading going?

Samuel Richardson
>just link your shit to the tv screen then Have you ever tried to do this yourself? OP said he wants less troubleshooting. All of the tech to PC game on your TV requires hours of troubleshooting before it's even vaguely usable. Besides just running an HDMI cable from your PC to your TV like an autistic child.
Adam Long
>1080p 60fps constant
console gamers literally do not give a fuck about this, framerate means nothing to them which is why 4k and 8k for PS5 is the advertisement because muh big number, even if we're only getting 2.5k with checkerboarding normies love it
Adam Nguyen
I'm even lower on the IT food chain then you, working in a local repair shop, and the two computer's I've built for myself and the three for friends just werk™. If you have to spend even an iota of time fixing your own shit then you've done something majorly wrong.
I guess not being a total dropkick helps too
Elijah Ortiz
Hell yeah. Real IT pros like you and me know that true seamless gaming is only achieved when you retrofit the PowerPC processor from an old iMac G5 onto a modern AMD mobo.

>There are no advantages whatsoever with PC. Looks better Plays better Mod potential
Not to mention online servers post when the publisher decides to pull the plug. If you REALLY want to be scum you can steal practically any game far easier than you can on a console.
Yeah, no advantages.
Ryder Hill
someone is spamming these threads. People post pictures of a "burning" computer every day now. Yesterday it was a different pc...
What fucking retard has no life and makes threads like this? And always the same start: I am done with PC gaming... fucking retards...
>vidyadunkey is the guy who invented sarcasm man you're new

When the fuck was the last time you had to troubleshoot the game on a PC? The closes i came with troubleshooting a game on PC was when steam was being a cunt and didn't patch properly, which isn't the games fault.
Oh and yea, enjoy doing your taxes on PS5, or video editing your holliday videos, any image editing, writing up documents, doing banking, managing your funds.
You buy a pc as a multi use machine, then you pay 400$ to enable playing games on it. It also allows you to use any peripheral you want, different makes of controllers, mice, you are never stuck on having to buy a specific thing.
Oh and if your console dies? Yep, better get a new one, if your pc dies, you swap out whatever died and it keeps on workin.
But yea, continue being a facetious faggot, i mean fuck it you are on 4 chan after all.

I think we can all do without mods, the gaming community is cancerous enough.
I wrote a custom repost detector script that would search every OP post on the current page on fireden and other sites, save the results to a local file, and then every time it detected a post that was similar or the exact same as a frequent repost (posted over 50 times) it would mark them with a red border. I was also in the process of adding optional features like autohiding them using native/4chanx and opening up a report window for each detected repost automatically so you didn't have manually click the report option on each offending post yourself
For some reason though it no longer works (fails to mark posts) and with Fireden not archiving any of the boards it would be useful on anymore, I've dropped it entirely.
I could probably rework it down the line to function as a universal 'shit content' detector that would serve the same function but it would need manual curation of a shit content list with constant updates and I don't have the time or willpower to do that.

Imagine being a tranny on twitter and having to be all like "damn, consoles, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight chassi and horrific specs. I would totally have games with you, both my character and the real me." when all it really wants to do is fuck another 16 year old in his dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be tranny and not only sit in that gaming chair while consoles flaunts the disgusting image in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing the frame rate and draw distance, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while it perfected that cut scene. Not only having to tolerate the monstrous fucking visage but the haughty attitude as everyone on twitter tells it STILL GOT IT and DAMN, CONSOLES LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch the single digit frame rate contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of soi and vegetables and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in LA. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're the fucking mental illness. You're not going to lose your future twitter career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.
