Why the fuck do people still buy consoles in the year of our lord 2019? Kids get a pass because they don't know any better, but I feel like as an adult if you buy consoles you're basically admitting you enjoy getting ripped off. You can play 95% of those games on stream or via pirate, consoles are literally stripped down PCs in every way possible, and you have to buy a fucking new one every 3-5 years because they either break for no fucking reason or it's time to ((((((upgrade)))))). Seriously, can someone explain this to me?

Because people are fucking stupid

I bought one for Halo, because I'm(was) a die hard fan. I still love it, but I won't do anything like that again. Although the new Animal Crossing is tempting.

Are you talking about Halo 1? You know that Halo 1-2 are on PC right?

I bought a couple of ps4s on a black Friday deal for £150 each including 3 or 4 games idr anyway sold one for 250 kept the other, basically got it for 50 quid. Have used it for precisely two games

Because I dont wanna pay $1000 to upgrade my PC to play a few games. Plus I like the controller not a mouse and keyboard

Hehe, I wish. I mean 5. Pretty fucking soured on the while thing, but at least breakout was fun. Oh and the ONI varient of the mantis is amazing.

>claims to be an adult
>upset that people buy things they like
Seek help for your autism son.

Getting a new console every 3 5 years beats buying new parts every fucking day it seems. You probably have autism so it makes sense you would want something you can take a part and put back together, like a PC. Faggot.

>every day
Clearly you have vast knowledge on how PCs work

You don't need to spend $1000 to play games on PC you dumbass. Secondly you can do infinitely more things with a high-end PC than you can with a console. You throw in spending $60 per games, plus DLC and paying for internet access, you spend A LOT more than $1000 on consoles. Not to mention you have to buy a fucking new one every few years.

Oh, and
>Plus I like the controller not a mouse and keyboard
That's typical for faggots, so not surprising

Yeah, you have autism alright. That was a fucking joke. Go stack some VHS tapes, kid.

OP here, it's likely this thread is gonna 404 in a few minutes from all the spam. If so we'll try this again later.

Spent 250 on a PS4 and get games for 20 when they're on sale. I can't play God of War Spiderman and Bloodborne on a pc you stupid faggot.

Oh ok so it's a money thing you're mad because you're a poorfag? Lol, dude.

Except the vast majority of consolefags don't do that and you know they don't. Most of you idiots get the game at full price the day it comes out, get all the DLC the same day it comes out, pay monthly for online play, the list goes on and on.

>I can't play God of War Spiderman and Bloodborne on a pc you stupid faggot
So you spend hundreds of dollars to play a handful of faggy games? Yeah, like I said you people are fucking idiots

Why do you give so many fucks on what other people do?

Exclusives dude. And Nintendo games are worth buying a Nintendo console for.

Next big thing will be metroid prime 4

just throw it into the garbage

its trash

You also can't play WoW, Halo, Civilization and emulators on PS4. Everyone has exclusives. It's dumb shit.

>Nah the Xbox is better
Dude, they are both shit. The only thing they have going for them is that they both do a great job of ripping off morons like yourself.

You're a sperg.

NO CHEATERS FOR ONLINE GAMES

>this sensible post triggers the autismo

Please show me an example of having to "fuck around" with a fucking antivirus before playing a game on PC. I'll wait....

Are you implying it's difficult for you to figure out how to install and play games on a fucking computer? Are you old enough for this website?

Indeed. Also because for four bucks a month I get two free old games to fuck around with for the four hours a month I have to actually play the fucking thing lol. Because I am an adult.

>You install game
>Click that shit
>play game

bro it's not hard at all.

You mean you don't upgrade your PC at least every 3-5 years?

>"i get free games"
>pays for service
>service comes with them
>brain.exe has stopped responding

>implying it actually works that way
Ahahahahaha

No actually. Unlike a console they can last much longer than that and even if you do have to upgrade it's usually less then a console to do so. We get to pick from parts not a whole box.

No it's easy to see which is worse. That's like saying you'd don't care if you lose use of your legs for a year or a month.

The bigger question is why degenerate adult manchildren play videogames at all

>You mean you don't upgrade your PC at least every 3-5 years?

If it's working perfectly fine why the fuck would I do that? Unlike with consoles where they basically force you to upgrade.

it does, you're retarded if you think it's harder then installing a game and hitting a premade settng (high, med, low). Most shit is outmated, you don't know shit mate.

What about the building a computer, installing Windows, setting it up to work with the TV, replacing the parts that die after a year, reinstalling chipset drivers, video card drivers, other drivers etc etc. I literally run a cable, put in my internet info, log in and play. It's not that I can't do that other shit. It's that I have no desire and the added utility is marginal. I already have a pc.

Right, sure, you absolutely are playing the latest AAA games on 5 year old hardware. I believe you.

>implying it actually works that way
Oh yeah, you are DEFINITELY not old enough for this fucking site. Do your parents know you're using their computer to look at nigger cocks all day?

I bought a ps3 in 2009 because I wanted a blu ray player that could also play video games. It still works, I use it occasionally.

This.

I play games on PC as well, and there are a lot more things that can go wrong.

Cool Story, bro. What's it like having autism though?

>look at i7 4790k
yeah, enough stupid questions?

I pay for online gaming. I would do that even if I didn't get games and did last generation. They are free with the service.

Installed For Honor and hit play two days ago. It was fun. Want to keep playing but It's the one game that actually gets me tilted when I get fucked.

anything you pay for isn't free faggot.

My Xbox is my entertainment system. I watch YouTube on it, I watch Twitch on it, I watch Netflix on it, I watch Amazon prime video on it, I rent movies on it, I watch porn in it, I browse Yea Forums on it and I pay games on it. It cost a lot less than an equivalent PC.

PCs can easily last 10+ years even with daily use. Not sure about now but with Xboxs and PS3s you were lucky to get even 3 years out of them before they broke down from hardware issues.

I'm sorry you have such a shitty life that you feel the need to come on here and make shitty autistic arguments that literally serve no value to anyone who isn't retarded like yourself.

the confimed 5 will be on the xbox pass for pc

I pay for online gaming. The free games that come with it are a nice perk. If you buy a car and they give you a free car wash. You bought a car and got a free car wash.

Then you like being a noob at games. Keyboard + mouse allows for a much more immersive gaming experience. If you want to be a vege on a couch then by all means use a console and a controller.

Attached: 1528378019025.jpg (1800x960, 358K)

I have the exact opposite experience. My SNES I had as a kid still works just like when I got it, but PCs frequently require repair.

>that one guy who is too cool for school

I have my launch xbone and use it every day and it's fine.

I built my computer 10 years ago. Haven't changed a single part. Building was easy as pie. Might finally upgrade when the new console specs are released.

building a computer is fucking adult legos. Pc part picker does most of that work. Don't want to do that get a prebuild that isn't shit and just plop something in. Installing windows? oh boy a disk and simple prompts. Drivers? One program does all that shit. Setting it up to work with your tv? it's fucking plug and play nigger. As for cables that goes with any setup and a fucking monkey can do it.

>literally what are settings

You've never played anything on a PC before, have you?

>Then you like being a noob at games.

I thought you were supposed to be an adult. Off with you, underaged autismo

You haven't installed a driver or flattened in ten years? Lol uh ok liar?

Literally undermining your own argument that "all you have to do is press install"

You just like kicking people when their down don't you!? Seriously though I would have been super stressed if I went this long without playing it. Sure it sucked, but I would have never agreed untill I tried it. I view it as spending the money on therapy.

Bro i'm not posting my whole set up to prove the point. My hardware is fucking what? 2 gens or so behind? On a platform that is dead? Newest shit is my gtx 980 ti but I could have kept my 970 if i felt like it. I upgraded because I wanted to.

I enjoy PC gaming too, but...

>and you have to buy a fucking new one every 3-5 years.

Rich coming from the guy that undoubtedly gets a new $300+ graphics card every year or so. Fuck off with your elitist shit you tard. Let people enjoy the games they want. It's a novel concept.

>They are free with the service
Yeah, I don't think you understand how the concept of "free" works. If I have to pay for an oil change for a "free" car wash, then it's technically not free. Are you a car salesmen by chance?

So you're arguement is what? You paid for a package and got the package? Saying it's "free" doesn't change that you paid for it. It just makes it sound better to dumbasses.

>if I felt like it
You didn't though, now did you? You upgraded. Add up all the costs from all the parts you bought (when you actually bought them) and give the total.

as others have said...grow up. what others do with their fucking money shouldnt bother you. Autistic faggot.

You could do all of that on PC and not spend a fucking dime. So you're the classic example of the "I love being ripped off" boomer.

You literally cannot read. I can do it. I don't want to. I want to plug a box into my tv and never think about it again. I don't want to browse fucking windows from my couch lol. I use actually computers at work. I am not interested in enjoying my free time with the same interface.

>actually caring about how other people spend their money

kill yourself

If you pay the same for an oil change as you pay for an oil change + free car wash, congrats you got a free car wash.

Flattened? No idea what that is. Don't have to be a genius to do this shit. I've updated drivers, and games automatically install shit you need, so yes and no. But that literally takes 0 effort. Not sure why you think I'd like about something so trivial.

I have a 10 year old ps3, and an 8 year old pc. I've replaced hard drives on the pc, and that's the extent of the problems I've had with either machine. Stop pouring mountain dew in your stuff, kid.

hey faggot, when did the ps4/xbox 1 come out...now when does the next x box and ps5 come out? bet you anything a pc (unless you had a state of the art from the start) wont last as long as the consoles i mentioned were out. (upgrades in case your autistic ass doesn't get what im saying)

>1200 minimum to play current games
Why the fuck would I spend so much money, go through so much bullshit setting it up, download a ton of shit, and then deal with sweaty ass PC MASTER RACE gamers?
No thanks. I’d rather drop 300 on a brand new xbox so that way the fan doesnt keep going off while I’m giving your mother a rimjob.

You said it as if it was a challenge to do it. Also prebuilts come installed with windows and there is big picture mode on steam. You don't have to use anything but a controller then. A dedicated gaming box that you have to do fuck all with after setting up. You don't have to do shit but saying it's hard is just not true at all.

you don't need to spend that much faggot. Do actual research.

Look dude, just admit you're a braindead autist and anything that takes even the slightest bit of effort scares you. Nothing you said is even remotely in the realm of difficult or complicated.

Lol you don't know what flattening is and you're calling me a computertard? Again, the added utility is marginal and a couple hundred bucks isn't a lot of money. I literally don't care.

I know that’s not the real pic for that post but that guy looks like a literal faggot. I mean sure, be excited about a game you got but don’t take a fucking picture like that, Jesus

Guys that make that face are fucking trash. I’m glad these people use Facebook.

A 600$ system can play most games. user's system doesn't mean shit when it's proven with lesser stuff. You just want shit to grab onto.

I was under the impression that games were supposed to be for the individual consumer's enjoyment. Who are you to judge how someone else wants to enjoy a lroduct they paid for?

It just works

You don't understand that not wanting to do a thing is not an implication that it's difficult. I don't want to look at windows on my TV ever.

Usually I play on PC, but here's the question, if you can't spend like 1500 or 2000 bucks in a gaming laptop, you have the option to buy a console instead + a portable screen. Yep, it's not the same... But you'll spend 250-300$ if console is refurbished/used.

Right, because PC games aren't known for having issues during installation. Nope, never.

You're a liar.

I didn't know PC's and subscriptions to services and internet providers were free. What a world we live in. Thank you for opening by eyes, comrade.

Real talk: you're the stupidest kind of person. Completely blind to weaknesses of your own position, and to your own bias.

I buy consoles just for the exclusive games and because it can be a cheaper option than buying a computer that is able to run good games.

Itt: smelly ass computer nerds find ways to feel better about their extreme social rejection.

You’re obviously a noob is what I’m saying. You might enjoy it but you suck at games.

why do you care what other people spend their money on?

For what you spend on a good controller you're half way to a used console.

Parts don't die after a year unless you abuse the shit out of it.

You are fucking retarded if you actually believe consoles last longer than your average PC. How old are you?

I don't even think Nehalem was out 10 years ago to this date

Thanks for the fake story bro

Or if you get a bad part. Which is extremely common with hardware.

dedicated brainwashed fanboys and people who don't know better

If Animal Crossing is autistic then I don’t want to be a normie.

I never called you a computertard. But okay, you can say what you want. I've saved a lot of money over the past 10 years and not a single upgrade/replacement save my uncle breaking my keyboard.

Not really? If that happens you return it and get a new one free. It's a non-issue.

bitch i bought a PC with a great processor, RAM, and graphics card around the same time i bough the fucking ps4. and guess what struggles to play the brand new games now?? not the fucking console, faggot. I know PC is better quality, the issue here is you are an old faggot who needs validation from fucking Yea Forums to feel better about yourself. Learn one thing from this thread you piece of shit, no one will ever make me feel bad for purchasing something. now go to hell.

I’ve seen this before. Oh yes. Every other day on Yea Forums.

I wont even read this entire thread. If you have own a gaming pc and don't have the money to get a console for that release thats only on console you can't afford that gaming pc.

But that has nothing to do with your original argument. You're tacking it on like it helps prove a point when it doesn't. There are plenty of people with both a pc and a console or 2, they use them for different things and different reasons. Saying that one has no value because the other is a more capable system is stupid, and saying someone's a noob because they give you an answer about why a hypothetical person might want to use something is childish. But you're an excellent troll, and this thread is genuinely 30/10 bait. Bravo, seriously, excellent job dude, keep up the good work, I'm gonna go get drunk and play grim dawn on my 8 year old pc.

What a bunch of fucking losers, arguing over fucking gaming systems. Pathetic. As if you'd accomplish something by doing so

>"600$ can play shit"
>prove it can
>goes over fags head and he reverts to different arguement

fucking autism, dealing with faggots that don't understand pc shit at all.

I have an enthusiest level build. My ram, cpu and mobo are 600$. The graphics card was 300$ because I waited to buy it. You know so my system will last even longer for cheaper? I've been gaming on this thing since 2014 and it shows no sign of stopping. Highest settings for most shit.

If I wanted to go for broke I could have shaved off 100$ for the cpu but I wanted to be able to OC (so it lasts even longer faggot). Save another $100 with the 970 instead. Went down on the mobo by 100$ too because I wanted the better options on a better board so it will last even longer. Do you see a fucking pattern here?

:P my uncle replaced it himself though. I've not made any damages or paid for any damages. I just figured it was turning into a blog so I didn't feel like including that.

yeah it's just fun to russtle jimmies

You and millions of others are the reason computer companies make a lot of money.

That's your own fucking fault. Next time, ask a good friend for advice, don't just assume shit.

I've been into computers my entire life, still, there are times when I don't have the research done, but I don't just fucking guess. I do the research and make my own opinion.

The price in recent years has gone up. I built a nice budget rig in 2011, but you wouldn't get an equivalent rig (relatively speaking) for the same price today. Maybe a grand. A GTX 1660 Ti is $250. Ryzen and mobo will be about $250 more. RAM is way up, etc etc.

all i see is "blah blah blah i"m a clueless faggot" (all tech savvy people know you are blatantly bullshitting) you done arguing this bullshit? cause as you see, everyone is laughing at your autistic ass.

>but I feel like as an adult
I agree about consoles, but why has this "I feel like" thing taken off over the last few years? It used to be "I think".

>everyone laughing
>3 people
>provides nothing

Bump for interest

For some games I use ps4 and for some my pc. I don't get the hate from all the camps, just play on whatever you like. Pic related

Exclusives. Also it's pretty darn easy to just turn on a console and put a disc/cartridge in and play.
Also portable consoles have the benefit of being able to be easily taken anywhere and played when you want, which you really can't do with PC.

Autismo is a terribly autistic word.

way too many console n00bs out there who think playing a competitive game with two sticks is some how fun. I guess get a console if you are into sports games and mash bros, filthy peasants.

dude.,.. what I'm saying is. i bought a pc that was pretty much built to run current games and games in the future, but as time passes, shit doesn't hold up. Games on console are built for the specs for that console. PC games usually take the current hardware into account, so yes, while games on PC are more beautiful and demand more from your hardware, you will need to upgrade to play new games as opposed to console since the console game was made for the console specs.

I know today, id need to replace graphics card, and possibly add more ram, but that costs $$$ whereas i haven't needed to drop shit on my console as it still works. I prefer PC, im just against this fucking thread cause faggots like this OP just wants to talk shit just for the sake of talking shit... fuck him and may he go to hell.

Because saying "I think" requires that person to back up their conjecture with some kind of evidence. It's easier for them to make it rain "I feel" than craft an "I think".

Exclusive titles.

Either link the "PC" you brought that can "run current games", or fuck off with this pathetic LARP attempt

>i bought a pc that was pretty much built to run current games and games in the future

>shit doesn't hold up
You were doing it wrong. My machine isn't entirely up to date, and it can play current-generation games. You could always just utilize the option most developers give PC gamers, and
>change the settings
so you can play on your machine anyways.

Besides, you're making a solid case for why games that release on PC and console together, should never force you to spend money on another GPU. Not if your console is perfectly fine playing a game that came out 7 years after its launch, with 7 year-old hardware. Why's that, hmm?

>you were lucky to get even 3 years out of them before they broke down
Maybe don't act like a child and hit your machine when you get rekt online

bitch. ps4 came out in 2013. what PC built in 2013 will still run today's games no issues without upgrades FAGGOT???!?!? reading comprehensions? its a fucking 970 graphics card, you think that shit will run modern games at high settings faggot??

Let's just hear the specs already

If it's a 9xx Nvidia idgaf, you should have waited. If the CPU is skylake, what the fuck is wrong with that?

But anyway, lesson learned, computers aren't "cheap". Back when you'd be able to build an inexpensive computer and max out anything, that's not case for the past 5+ years and I don't know who told you otherwise.

Retard fag.

At the end of the day I don't care what you play your games on. But fuck don't tell me my PC is shit. When i see my GeForce Gtx 1070 8gb oc starting I cum buckets. No console is able to generate graphics anywhere near to that. That's the reason I switched to pc.
Game is announced, looks beautiful, you buy it, looks like shit cause consoles just don't bring it.

Only reason I have consoles is because of exclusives and shit.
I got a 3DS for FE games. 50 bucks for that thing wasn't too bad.
But I can tell you, if console exclusives didn't exist I'd be on my pc 100% of the time
