Why do people still buy consoles? Are they fucking retarded?

at the beginning of this gen? no. now 5 years later? yeah they're pretty much only for exclusives which are dwindling and don't exist on pc. also they only new game are fucking 8bit style shit's available on all 4 platforms. they do not make any sense anymore, at all.

And yes I know there are emulators but no it is not the same damn thing, I don't care what anybody says

yeah uh, any modern computer can play any console game.... not just 1-4k you don;t know what your talking about. my 8 year old non upgradable laptop is still hanging in there bo.

How many exclusives are released per year? Like 4-5 games? Hardly an excuse.

sorry philbert "shrug emoji" am pc master race now

that was my point

Oh, my bad

Well that’s just wrong kek

or they could spend that to upgrade the computer
instead of paying a fortune in console accessorizes

it's not hanging in there well....

all the ones that are legit not hype basic white bitch or government school system tier have 8gb ram.

name a game that needs more than 8gb ram?
no bullshit my fucking dell e4 something something from 2011 plays fallout 4.

>console accessories
What the fuck are you even talking about? Retard confirmed.

>implying RAM is all that’s needed to game

dud i used to work in retail and laugh and console tards with their buying controllers, batteries, chargers, cables, controllers spending a fortune

buying a new console is like buying a 5 year old PC

not to mention you can play / get pretty much any game for free on PC if you want to

consoles have drm and shit

I spent 300 on my console and haven’t bought a damn thing extra. You’re using anecdotal evidence to prove nothing.

enjoy paying $60 for games lol

i mean it pretty much is.... there's a reason on th back of pc games all they mention is ram,graphics cards, and oddly enough not processor speed just a processor and "equivalent" but if your graphics card is low you can always yeet graphics in the .ini file something you CANT do on a fucking console.

>enjoy paying $60 for games lol
Generally PC games off the shelf cost the same.
But PC has the major advantage of STEAM sales or sites like G2A that exploits regional price differences from countries with low income/cost of living levels
And there's of course the piracy free option

It's really not. Even the newest, shittest computer can run games released in the last 10 years.

not to mention egs coming in clutch for all gamers

It won't matter in a few years, when GaaS platforms like Google's STADIA will overrun consoles and PC gaming alike.

u are fucking retarded if you think this "games as a service" crap isn't gonna fail miserably like it is currently

Why now both? I play pc at home but just got a ps4 for travel. I stay in a lot of air brb and hotels. PC is not always practical. I haven’t had a console in 8 years and it’s kinda refreshing to have again.

>Prefering a controller over mouse/keyboard
Scum

I bet your phone shows "H", "H+", "LTE" or even "LTE+"
"H" archives 10+ mbits easily
"LTE+" even goes up to one gbits
5G deployment, the new standard, will take a couple years to be deployed, but my educated guess is, it may slowly but surely replace wired internet connectivity. (i.e. cellular network based consumer home modems, like these hybrid-routers)

You got any proof it's failing miserably? Seems like there are endless zoomers with braindead parents willing it put money into it.

how is my phone relevant mate?

i heard 5g needs line of sight.

mabey not FINANCIALLY, but most of the "live service" games themselves are shit.

>how is my phone relevant mate?
I expected you to be smarter than that
It's a simple connection - cellular connectivity (i.e 5G) will, over time, replace wired connectivity (i.e. DSL) in homes and businesses for your internet needs.
Cellular networks are way easier to maintain and faster, cheaper deployed in coverage than to put fiber-optic in every last miles homes'

>I don’t like people who get enjoyment from things I don’t get enjoyment from

Exclusives. I have pc switch and ps4 bc i wanted to play rdr2 and zelda.

Just so I can buy a load of physical copies of games for cheap easily when the markdown comes or it hits the used market. When everyone was in line to preorder the switch I bought a ps4 on markdown. I got Xenosaga ep. 1 for $1 at gamestop a few years ago and the cashier told me he hated me because he bought it when it was new. Sucker. Ps3 games are going for as low as $3-4 because everyone's trying to get rid of their inventory that they're still stuck with.

I can take a console places a lot easier than I can a tower if say I'm going or a trip or something. Plus easy set up for multiplayer for visitors

Sure I'm going to build a gaming PC once I figure out what I want and my upgrade path but I shop around so much I get deferred treatment and extra goodies from some physical shops. Quite frankly I'm not wasting much money just going the console route the way I do. I'd certainly as hell not play a Bethesda sandbox on a console but for the majority of things I don't care, it cost me hardly anything.

nigger cell service doesn't exist in every home. your also SPECULATING like fuck on the future way i hear it 5g is a crock of shit right now. also, half of my county and alot of north carolina are currently stuck with "3" mbs. the fuck are you talking about

Oh for PC you mean? I don't buy those physical. That's just stupid. Especially if it actually requires a steam account to use. That's even stupider.

Because you can’t play Mario Party properly without an N64 controller that destroys your palm.

but they don't cost 1-4k they cost the same as consoles. also, any tv and an hdmi cord.... $20 power a controllers

Can console players even be called Gamers? I don’t want those casuals fucks sharing a title with me

ok keep telling yourself that faggot

The largest possible size for a home television is 56 inches, you fag. Technology hasn't got there yet, unless you're a time traveler.

Stop LARPing.

no for playstation and xbox also..... and what pc games DONT require steam or EGS and also fucking why? you used to just buy a goddamn game when you bought a game

And you have to pay for all the games on console

Show me one half assed gaming computer that costs the same as a PS4 that isn’t a fucking tablet. I’ll wait.

no your just being gay. it doesnt have to be a "gaming" pc to game you dumb fuck

tbf ps4's are fucking cheap now but most pc's with 8gb ram will play any fucking game out there and they cost less than $500 you know why consoles degrade so fast in value.... they only do one thing, play games, and not very well.

It's called building it yourself.

It does need a GPU tho

which every single computer has.

shut the fuck up you triggered kike

I currently own a switch, Xbox one, PS4 and PC (2700x, gtx 1080ti). Honestly the only reason why I put my money for the consoles is for the games they exclusively have and I love and enjoy. however that's my reason, the reason why I see a lot of people just buy consoles in general is just for casual gaming. Now you can casual game on the PC, sure but people just want to go home turn on the Xbox and just sit on the couch or whatever and play games. Seriously if I was in middle school and I came back from football practice or whatever, I just want to sit back and relax. Plus a lot of people who just casually game just don't want to learn how to build a PC or learn anything about it. Why? Because they don't care. Why would a 18 year old guy put money into a PC when the only thing he just wants to play his call of duty with his friends? Plus the troubleshooting and shit that comes with having a PC, people just want to play games quickly with no hassle and cheap, that's my reason with console fags. Sure you can call them retarded for not buying a PC or learning to build one, but a lot of them just want to play casually play games and that's what consoles brings to the table. Also since cloud gaming is becoming a thing soon, I honestly just see it better to just build a PC when the time comes because a lot of people are not going to have the internet for that shit.

>no evidence that you can run a PS4 with comparable stats at a cheaper price
Yeah, I’m on board with this but it still gets a little more expensive. This is the best way though, definitely more bang for your buck.

well no cause ps4's are $150 now.

>It does need a GPU tho
Even CPUs have GPUs - integrated. They're not as powerful as dedicated, discrete GPU cards, but even the aged AMD A8 APU had considerable 3D power

> every single computer
please tell me your joking and aren't this retarded

Short answer : Yes .. but for a variety of other reasons

Find me a $300 dollar computer that can do it. I’ll even let you use a more recent model (since PS4 came out like 5+ years ago)

See

Literally any cpu with more than 6 cores doesn't have an iGPU

Not for PlayStation. My Ps4 only connects to the internet about once a month. I can install games offline just fine. Xbox I don't know - I wouldn't put it past them. Last time I checked you couldn't play your downloaded games when xbox live was down or you didn't have an internet connection. When I own something I expect to have it not a window to it so to speak.
And why would I want to have my games funneled though an online platform with partly security like steam? Steam accounts are broken easily and unless you have - what you call it - verification code that you actually own those games on you stolen account, you're fucked. Console accounts would be just the same in this regard.

The irony of this thread is that we all enjoy gaming but can’t stand how others enjoy it. It’s like getting mad at how some other guy jerks off. The point is we’re all cumming.

Threads like this are why orange man and co. blame video games. I can just feel the rage.

for new? i saw like 399 and 350 in the link i posted in this thread a long time ago.

because consoles are inferior. in most ways. if we all went pc. exclusives wouldn't exist, you could adjust your own settings

thats just for the cpu, the graphics card will have its own memory

>still no link or proof

just telling you what annon meant idiot

And PC fags care why?

Mobile gaming is the future. Pokémon go is still good and I’m actually fit unlike you fat fucks.

Because of the exclusives. Too much of a gamer to skip them. I love my PC so much I fuck it...but Horizon Zero Dawn was the shit. Would have sucked if I never played it.

for the same reason people cared about people buying Battlefront 2 loot boxes

Why to PC fags cry about what other console fags are doing with thier time and money its like they're insecure about there platform so they make a thread saying how inferior a different platform is to theres.

well well well
look at how retarded you are

Cause they know that pc gaming is dead and won't believe it so they make fun of consoles to feel better. It's 2019 pc boys and not 1998

Just wait till xbox brings the scarlett out. That thing is powerfull as fuck and has 8k. Let's see what pc fags say to that and why there all mighty towers are so much better..

Embarassing post bro

Oh look a tri-fag appeared

I own a gaming PC, a PS4 and a Switch
I like some of the exclusives and you can't deny they have a lot of dope ones.

In 2014 I upgraded my Q6600 with a $20 Xeon that OC'd to 4.2Ghz and paired it with a 970 gtx for 1440p gaming, no console could even come close to this housefire.

But now with so many people building $500 Ryzen rigs that are getting 75fps, it looks like only kids and retards are in the market for a console.

I'm just gonna post in the loli thread this thread already gone to shit

>and has 8k
on what games?
at what graphical settings?
if you think it's that simple your fucking retarded

btw you won't even be able to notice 8k resolution unless you're literally glued to your screen

>your fucking retarded

are you so retarded you have to be a grammar nazi instead of addressing my point?

what the fuck is the E3 presentation gonna teach me?

Some decent games come out only on console and 300$ is chump change unless you’re some fucking peasant. There is no excuse not to have a good gaming PC AND a modern console if you like vidya

Exclusives and stability.

Console is for true gaming
PC is for true 4k porn

Anyone who actually had any sort of skill knew that you didn’t need to buy the ooot boxes to be good. Stfu you nigger fuck.

It is just mind blowing that someone would go out of their way to buy a vastly inferior product and then defend their purchase to people who didn't fall for the console meme.

What type of games do you play?

Insecure much

>It’s just mind blowing that I’m a fucking neckbeard who has to grasp at a false sense of superiority. I didn’t actually have friends who wanted to hang out and play games together in real life. Look at my fedora and cower before my obesity and BO.

ITT:
Triggered consolefags

>It costs far more than 300
Well, initially, yes. After that, upgrades come in way cheaper than what you pay for consoles with their lifecycles and lack of compatibility. Also console games are way more expensive on average, with AAA titles and just incredibly more expensive if you factor in indie games.

As a matter of fact, if you have a case, a HDD and a PSU, you can upgrade for ~350€ and have a machine slightly better than any console, go for 500€ and you're good to go. Depending on your game buying habits you'll break even after two years, earlier if you game online.

The economic argument is definitely dead.

The comfort argument hardly stands and is more a debate over interface and/or shelf space, which in case of the first is A irrelevant to the gaming experience and B a matter of taste anyways and shelf space would depend on how you organize it. You have a computer anyways? No more additional space required, then, less, in fact, than with a console. You don't have a computer? That's at least an argument there.

Any other point is a straight win for PC gaming.

"Exclusive titles"
Yeah, well, stop buying consoles and all those titles will appear on PC and there you go, you and everyone else can play everything. By buying exclusives you just increase the industries interest in giving you an artificially smaller pool of games.

"Piracy"
Yeah, PC fags, that's just not an argument. If stealing is the solution, why not steal that PS4?

This

lol what the fuck

i bought a pc during black friday that cost 300 bucks. that thing can play every game on the market now. i even play black desert online which has one of the highest graphics of any game out right now lol. youre just in denial or completely retarded

lol i cant believe there are people still this technologically illiterate. youre sitting here trying to defend console gaming and proving exactly what op said. youre a fucking retard if you havnt even figured out a basic hdmi/wireless key/mouse setup yet

I literally have an 80 inch tv are you off your rocker nutcase?

I use mine for a streaming box and the odd blu ray (not that I buy a lot,) it's pretty comfy and it's alright to play the maybe 1 console exclusive a year that looks interesting

Because if I buy a console I I don't need a new graphics card every few mounths.

Did you even fucking read his post? His arguement is basically convenience of use and access. Not many people have a set up for couch gaming on TV with a pc. The ease of unboxing and playing vs computer set up. Fucking think

Dude where is your argument? I come home from work sit on the couch, relax and play Nier with my 360 Controller. You can even start with the Steam big picture mode turning your interface basically into that of a console. Also my PC came from sale completely ready to roll. Because I was just too lazy to do it myself.

you don't need to buy a new graphics card every few months with a pc ether

In this day and age, only 3 people play consoles:

1)retards that are technologically illiterate(90% of the population
2)little kids
3)people with alot of extra money lying around that want exclusives

There's literally no reason for anyone to buy a console anymore other than exclusives, and even then, anyone with half a brain can just emulate it.

The excuse that you just wanna sit back on a couch and play is no longer valid due to it being very easy to run an HDMI cable from a tower to a tv and then just sit back with a wireless setup(you can even get a wireless controller to play with).

Console is fucking garbage. All of the new consoles have so few titles worth playing coming out on them now compared to how Playstation 1 and 2 were back in the day. That was the golden age of console gaming, and now its just a joke. Paying all these subscription fees to play...lmfao. Only a twat would pay2play a game they already paid for. Plus the price of console games is a fucking joke. PS4 is still trying to charge 20-50 bucks for PS1/2/3 games if you go through the playstation network. Where as you can buy those games used for dirt cheap or play them free on emulators(which intelligent people do).

Consoles are literally hanging on by the skin of their teeth with exclusives only. And the fact that you cant play people on the same game on other consoles is so fucking laughable that its just sad.

Aside from pirating, Steam sales and humble bundles make pc gaming dirt cheap. My friend owns 1000+ games on pc thanks to bundles and sales. On a modern console that would be ridiculous amounts of money to pull off.

New consoles are garbage and the accessories are tremendously overpriced.

Consoles are awesome :D

I just sell my old graphics card and add around $100 for the new one, that's not bad for 1440p gayming at 60fps, and its much cheaper than upgrading a console.

4) people who live in a small apartment

I just bought a PS2, seriously how fucked am I?

That's not lying. I'm a gamer since the 80's. I don't want to miss some of them and have no other option. I have that extra money so I don't have to wait for an emulator to be developed. Orbital is still in developement afaik.

The problem with Sony and Microsoft is that they stopped innovating new tech, instead they just began building second rate PCs, but that is not a smart business model.

How powerfull scarlett is and all that shit. Just watch it fag

When did one of them ever innovated the tech? Sega and Nintendo maybe with some of their unique concepts but Sony and MS? The most innovating MS presented was Kinect and we know how that turned out.

that wasnt made as an improvement to gaming

it was an improvement to national security

The controllers, I'm still using the wired 360 PC controller.

That was no innovation since it's a blatantly rip off of the Dreamcast Controller.

plug'n'play aspect and perception
building a tower requires some effort on the part of the user and most normal people see computers as tools for work, something to learn a few skills off of (recipe books, mechanical guides, etc etc), social network, and something to just back up all your photos and memories on, and sometimes do taxes/banking on. Gaming is still a "Niche" use of computers, widespread as it is on stuff like youtube, that still doesn't fall into your average family member 9-5 worker's lifestyle.
its not really retardation, more just a perception thing
consoles fill that perception and are seen as the specific "gaming" station, and people will pay extra for convenience consoles offer in them requiring no setup, no hassle, no loading windows or gutting a PC and giving it new parts, you just fuckin' plug it in and go

Imagine being so underaged or so autistic that you think gaming on a pc is in any way socially acceptable.

Keep being social reject incels, guys. Kek

I have a pc and a console, can't see the problem.

PC is upstairs in the study and I use it for strategy games and what not when I'm alone.

PS4 is in the lounge, my kid has one in his room. I use this for a quick blast on borderlands 2 or fifa or w/e split screen with him or we multiplayer with both of them if we're no co-op. PS4 is easy, quick, convenient and I don't need it to be anything more.

Sure you can have a pc in your lounge, but I don't. I don't care who does - do want you want. My set-up works for me.
