You can also hook your PC to your TV

Okay but this also partly comes down to what kind of games you want to play. A big appeal of PC gaming to me are "PC" exclusives (saying this even if they are also available for Mac/Linux) like Total War, World of Warcraft, Endless Legend, and Age of Empires. Things like 4k also don't matter because I'm not playing on a 60-inch display.

Usual console points but you can hook up a PC to a TV too, and consoles now install games, updates, fixes etc. consoles have a pre configured software windows is a OS doing many task. Console price is "cheaper" but adding on the subscription fee, lack of sales to locked to one digital store, it's not. PC has a higher cost yes but you can tweak it all PC has *OPTIONS* and tons of them! and no paid online!

People unironically associate PC gaming with high end but the places where PC gaming do thrive are the places where most people have lower end PCs just because it can run the games they care to play on it

I'm nearly in the same boat. I got my first PC in 2012. It was an i7 4770k and a GTX 770. It was a whole other world compared to console, mods, higher frames, higher resolutions, more options. I was playing at 1080p 60fps out of the gate. The Xbox 360 was a 720p 30fps machine that just couldn't compete. Its years later now, I'm passionate about my computer, I have an r9 7950x3d and a 7900xtx, I run 3x 1440p 144hz displays and the console won't won't have an experience like this for years and years. My last GPU actually died after only a year, a 6900xt which also blew the socks off any console experience, but while it was out of commission I went stir crazy and bought a ps5 off a friend so I could play games at all. I'd heard good things about the ps5, the games, the graphics. So I hooked it up to my 4k 120hz hdr10 miniled tv.... And forbidden west on vrr runs at like 20-30 fps and looks... Okay? It just doesn't run good at all. Racket and Clank rift apart looked okay and ran better but is definitely not 4k. Session skate Sim also ran okay. But eventually I got my PC back and I went back to greatness. A couple days ago I had the ich to turn on the ps5 and get use out of it before my missus complains about the fancy paperweight. I turn it on, I start up session, go get a drink, the game still hasn't loaded check my phone, and still stuck. I try restarting the machine (literally all the troubleshooting you can do) and it still won't load. Now I have an actual paperweight. Consoles don't hold a candle to PC's for now and I don't think ever will, they're made for the masses and also cut themselves to a price someway or another.

100% with nearly all the points, great vid!

Personally I feel that pc gaming is more worth it once you've done the initial hardware investment No subscriptions to pay and the games are objectively cheaper especially on steam I had to skip ps5 and go with PC because I couldn't personally cope with the high game prices and terrible deals in the digital store

Great vid man! i like your vibes. You've earned a new sub!

As I’m currently playing Cyberpunk 2077 on my PC (not at the highest settings) and it looks better than the PS5. I think its the same situation i’m seeing when re-purchasing PS3 games on Steam. On PC it will look better and later down the line when/if you replay them your gonna be glad you bought them on PC, it will look better and you’ll probably have a better chance of still being able to play it. On PS4 & PS5 i cant access my PS3 library. The gap however is closing graphically, I’m just not sure consoles will ever be as good as a top end PC but depends what you want and what you can put up with. Console is good value for money. I feel you on office/man cave. I have the same situation. I bought a mini PC to play most games downstairs (have a mini keyboard for when i need it) , even leaving my 4k TV behind, games look fine in 1080p, Cyberpunk looks amazing.. Use my laptop for more recent games.

Paying for xbox online is so stupid, they don’t even pay for the servers, the devs make the servers themselves. Especially when you can play the same games on pc

Pc Gaming Blows Going Back To Console

I play on PC, Xbox as well as my Switch. Here’s my take: I think that objectively the PC has more advantages, I would prefer to play many games on PC rather than console. However, the possible low entry price of a console is a advantage, if your fine spending more later on, which varies in terms of price person to person. If someone were to give me a budget of around $500 that they were looking to spend on a gaming device, I’d personally recommend either-or, console or a budget pc, depending on what games they play. I enjoy playing on the three platforms that I own regardless, I will not say equally however, I find that sometimes it just depends on the time to determine if I’ll play on my PC or on my consoles, which for me it’s PC for the most part. I’ll say this: I see no reason to ridicule people for choosing a console over a pc, that’s just rude. But I think that advocating for better consumerism on consoles is necessary. These platforms are definitely not equal, but at the end of the day it’s up to the individual to decide, because people can choose on whatever the want.

To be onset I use a ps4 because I can't afford a good pc great video hope your channel keeps on growing

It definitely sucks to work all day and then game on the same chair and same computer.

The pricing is such a great great point: These days if you want to build a pc that matches a PS5 spec for spec you're gonna be paying literally twice as much. PC gaming is starting to be priced out of its target market. And terrible pc ports of Triple A games doesn’t help either.

As basically a lifelontg console player, i had a gaming rig for a little while during the 2010's but i mainly used it to make YT videos for my ps3 clan 😅 i actually think there has never been a better time to get a PC and thats what i plan to do later this year. Consoles have never been more expensive, PC parts are generally always getting cheaper. Console exclusives are all going to come to PC, plus there are just so many more things you can do with a PC besides gaming that can make the extra cost of one worth it for people. I also feel like consoles need updates just as often as windows these days 😅

we're relatively early in the life cycle of the 9th gen consoles, so a pc with the same price as a ps5 can be expected to perform more or less the same (best case scenario) or worse, this is not new. what's new, however, is that the market is so fucked up to the point that even people are, more than ever, turning to and interested in previous gen hardware and especially gpus. this is simply unacceptable. the cpu side of things is quite healthy and competitive tho

That’s why I don’t want a desk job. It’s crossed my mind that looking at a monitor all day at work will make video games not fun when I get home because I’m basically doing the same thing. My job is physical now so going home to sit down feels great.

I have exactly the thing that mentioned in 15:20. I have work issued laptop and KVM switch with personal PC that by default login into passwordless account in big picture mode (and also starts Virtual desktop). It ever had Xbox one startup sound but for some reason it plays default sound now. Also i have custom bios picture that says xbox 720 and Aqua Shift controller. I use projector for couch gaming, since i have no way to mount a TV, and 65+" TVs are expensive.

meanwhile i treat my pc like a console which doubles as my media centre, it's hooked up to my TV, i use a controller, and navigation isn't a problem, since i just bought myself a handheld keyboard/Mouse, it's has a qwerky keyboard and trackpad, once it's setup, it's as convenient as a console, with the added bonus of it being a pc, so endless options, i play PS2 games like i would back in the day on my tv via emulation(but much better) and if i use steam i can use big picture mode, which is a console interface.

I own a PC and a ps5 and honestly, for current gen i think console is the way to go. I have a 3060 with a ryzen 7 5800x3D and 32gb ram and for older games it kills it in 1080p. 100 fps no problem on ultra... but the new titles coming out, my ps5 can play in a performance mode at 4k and my PC just cant match that. Harry Potter, jedi survivor, elden ring, last of us remaster.. all very difficult to run on PC. Starfield is a mess on nvidia gpu's and cyberpunk just released a warning to pc users as the DLC is designed to run your cpu at 90% so upgrade your cooling! Yea no... im just going to play the cyberpunk DLC on my ps5 in 4k at 60fps. I think these are the factors pushing pc players towards console. You just cant afford that expierence right now when you can get an equal or better expierence on a 500$ console

very well put together video

Best thing about the ps5 is it doesn't crash everyday

been thinking about selling my ps5 and xbox one s and getting a pc. paying (i think) $120/yr for sonys version of gamepass ultimate + $70 a game is pretty rough. it’s the reason i’m not paying $60/yr for xbox live so i’m missing out on some cross play games my friends and i wanna play. i figure even if i spend an extra $800 on top of the presumed $700 from my consoles on a fairly high end build, i’ll at least break even on cost over the course of a console generation/need for a pc upgrade. thoughts on this? also great video and sorry for the word vomit lol

what camera do you shoot with? Nice picture

I like my PC for classic and Indie games. I play AAA games on my PS5.

Ive got a pc atm and I use it like a console i just play controller on couch. I'm tempted to go back to console at some point though.

PC gaming is also the most accessible and cheapest to get into, someone with a very limited pocket can buy an old office pc and get a gpu like a GTX 1050 ti, GTX 1650 or even the RX 6400 and and slap in there with some extra ram, and they can play games, and even if you maybe don't have a powerful pc, there's always something that will work on your rig and work quite well, also no add up of costs like paying for an online service and games are generally cheaper on PC. Also there's emulation and still being able to find game that have been delisted and PC is a great way to access games of previous generations.

Great video, I have all 3 option and to be honest I end up on my ps5 because you just turn it on and play. I love my pc and when I want to get sweaty on a fps then I will play on pc which is like once a week. I actually build a separate desk setup for game and have my work desk so I can feel the detachment.

Without question PC is STILL better than any console out there. Not because of graphics and frame rate (or any of that other trivial shit) but for one simple reason... FREEDOM. The freedom to play what you want, how you want with no arbitrary cock blocking like payed subscriptions and the like (looking at you PS+). Switched to PC gaming a decade ago and haven't looked back since. Best decision of my life.

I did not expect to see an endless Jess reference in 2023

Well said. Your points align with my current situation. I'm at a point where I need to upgrade my GPU, at least, to play the latest AAA games at 1440, or even 4K. Looking at the price of a decent GPU here in Australia, even previous gen, is enough to push me to a PS5. I could, for example, get a PS5, extra controller, charging dock, and some used games for less than a single decent 1440 high fps or 4K 60 GPU. As I don't play any online multiplayer games, that extra cost is not relevant to me.

So went to PC during the end of Covid( wait, we need more TP) when a delux PS5 maybe with an extra controller, game or 2 was $1000 here in SD cal,so-was I to buy or pre built or build a PC? I ended up building one, which,was a blast, overall the PC($850 vs $1000 PS5) was cheaper, I did buy some Xbox,controllers but way more love my thrifty keyboard. I have another monitor/TV up or my friends when they come over , and we play our much loved Borderlands 3. Yes the couch has its benefit, but sit in my gaming chair, and amp up my massive 120 watts(Sony Entertainment system)on my hifi MB,B3, Cyberpunk, Redfall, well, that is a blast. I really am thinking of getting Game Pass, I still pay Playstation, who knows, it depends on your perspective, my friend wants to buy a PS5 , that's cool , yout video is really great , buddy!

the simplicity of console gaming is what kept me in . game needs an update , cool update it and be on your way . i rarely ever have my games crash , 120hz on shooters feel good enough , loading times have drastically improved with this gen of consoles with the ssd . ive though about building a pc this year just because i have the money to do it but its not really something i NEED to do . all i play is fighters anyways 😂

Something that may be is not being said at least for PS side (as microsoft will port games into a PC when they are exclusives for Xbox... they will reach PC sooner or later...) for PS games is not the case with exclusives games like God of War or Last of us, Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima, etc, where PC gamers has to wait long time to be able to play them, in the past Console games were ok, PC games were better, but in noweadays, Console games are getting better, and is a shame PC gamers need to wait years long after release to have them, and sometime with risk of a bad porting (i'm looking at you Last of us PC)...

I am very illiterate when it comes to trouble shooting a computer. I just got a gaming laptop but i don't enjoy it as ps4 experience is soooo much easier for me. I also think that it will outlast a gaming laptop since parts in a loptop overheat.

If you don’t care about backing up your save data or emulating older consoles, then consoles are the play. I’ll take my limitless library of cheap games though. Games which I’ll be able to play again with my backed up save data 50 years from now, no problem

PC will always be the best option for one reason and one reason only, it's practically timeless. Even when you upgrade to a better PC, your old PC is still solid for playing the same games 5-10 years ago. Only difference is online driver and software support and even then, those updates will get archived by someone long before the support discontinues

Emulation is enough of a reason to play PC alone. Love playing old console exclusives and switch games at 60fps.

i do think PC is still the way to go the only problem this days is that Devs are to lazy to optimize games and they give us buggy games/unfinished and the upsite with consoles is that u can play them anywere and they are cheapper however they don't have the same power as the PC cause lets be real if u go full 4k/60FPS/full RT consoels will die seens RT req a lot of GPU power and the PS5 GPU is equal to a 3060 12gb

I prefer PC over any console, because its a lot cheaper to game on The build might be somewhat expensive But with a neglegible amount of know-how you will never have to pay for any game again. Also modding

My ROG Ally gives me the best of both worlds.

It really a use cae. If you just want yo play games, i would argue espetially if you want to play new stuff, console is the way to go. If you want to play older stuff mostly, but some new stuff, and you dont have old console around to play on, go with a PC.

PC is better and will always be better. Didnt watch the video but just commenting this as i see the title. Edit: If your someone who only plays games like NBA 2k and casually other games. and when i say casually i mean you probably only game like every other week or day. meaning you play but barely. just get a console. PC will always give you the better experience. but to compare each other performance wise. PC is and will always be better. Also if you say PC is expensive its not... i mean it CAN be but it dosent have to be. The selection of parts is a wide variety. You can build a console equivalent which is a Ryzen 7 3700x , RTX 2070 super and 16gb ram for 500 dollars or even less if you buy from the right places. I dont hate console but its just strange how in 2024 this is even still a discussion. At this point its whatever you prefer but just so you do KNOW PC is and will always be better.

Console would be perfect if paying for access to online content in games was removed, and games were always 60fps or above. But it isnt going to happen so PC it is

As someone who has a family, responsibility, a mortgage and a full time job, on top of a side business, I don't have time to be a computer nerd anymore. PS5 is the way to go for plug and play. In order to get the full use out of a PC, you need to have ALOT of spare time, and you have to want to play AAA games all the time. I play 3 games. Battlefield, RDR2 and I have a 500 dollar PC that I'll use once a year to get my WoW fix in. Other than that. I can't justify spending 2000-4000 dollars to get a PC with the best frames per second just to ignore my family to play GTA 5 or CoD. I'll just sit on my couch and relax with my nachos.

That dude freaking out about installing updates must not have realized that you can pause updates for up to five weeks. You never actually HAVE to install updates. Good luck not updating your console and still being able to play online especially.

Ps4 is still great. I just got a gaming laptop and it is not as easy and convenient as playing on ps4😊, so going back to my ps4

I’ve been a primarily a console gamer most of my life, but I do play some PC games. Working on homework, then playing a PC game, just makes me feel exhausted. For taking a break from things, console is the way to go for me.

PS5 is my main gaming rig but I have a PC. There are just certain inconveniences with PC. With my PS5 I have 15 seconds until I can get inside my game playing, it only takes 4 buttons. It should be 1, the ps button should turn on everything but it's severely faster than the PC. Browsing PSN deals vs Steam deals is also huge. How the fck do I sift through 11,000 deals, PSN has 400 at a time and is manageable to find new games I didn't know I wanted. Exclusives are mana from heaven. PC just isn't for me as long as the price to performance doesn't get out of hand for PC. PS5 IS $400, not $500. PCs don't have disk drives.

Microsoft is already moving away from the console and game ownership since they offer cloud gaming on tv, phone and tablets as well as on PC. It's possible that they might discontinue making consoles after XBOX series x and s since their profit margins are so low on selling hardware but they are doing great on xbox controllers.

Im building a pc rn and its fucking frustrating like i follow all the instructions and stuff and i ended up getting a micro atx on a mid tower like why ain’t nobody tell me that, with consoles I can just plug and play without me troubleshooting every 2 seconds. Literally i’ve missed so many glorious playtime hours with my rx 6800 because its all over the place

PC gaming has always been a joke. Constantly missing out on the big is the best games absolutely no first party. It's top selling most played games look like mobile quality garbage and are like 20 to 25 years old. PC gamers only think it's relevant because they get old console ports. It's like African countries thinking the losing super bowl team merchandise that they got means that that team actually won.

There are tons of games that only exist on PC, but if all you’ve ever known is console gaming, then ignorance is bliss I guess. I’m sure there are plenty of casual gamers who only play 1 or 2 titles 95% of the time, so for those CoD and FIFA folks it probably just makes sense to stick with consoles. Otherwise nothing beats the open ended, future proof flexibility of PC and being able to neutrally play games from all the platforms.

PC IS CLEARLY BETTER IN ALMOST ALL ASPECTS......GAME TITLE CHOICES (ALMOST ANY GAME), THE FACT THAT ALL YOU NEED TO PAY FOR IS INTERNET (NO SUBSCRIPTIONS), GRAPHICS, PERFORMANCE, BACKWARD COMPATABILITY, AESTHETICS (PCS LOOK BETTER), STREAMING, PODCASTING, VIDEO EDITING, AND THE LIST GOES ON....CONSOLES HAVE SOME PROS, BUT NEVER MORE THAN PC!!! PC IS SIMPLY BETTER. THE FACT COMES DOWN TO MONEY. SIMPLE AS THAT. BUT THERE IS LITERALLY NO COMPARISON. IF YOURE BROKE, BUY A CONSOLE. IF YOU HAVE MONEY BUY A PC! ........(IF YOURE NOT THAT SMART, BUY A CONSOLE. IF YOURE SMART, BUY A PC! LMAO....JK...A LITTLE ) THATS ALL IT COMES DOWN TO REALISTICALLY SPEAKING. MONEY!!!! THATS ALL!!! OPINIONS WELCOMED.

As someone who plays RTS games and 4X games mainly I have to say: LOL get real.

PC operating systems really suck. Windows vs the PlayStation OS, PlayStation OS wins every day. It ensures apps don’t misbehave it works without a bunch of bugs and doesn’t get in the way. Windows really sucks. I don’t think people realize how bad it is. Our collective consciousness has blocked out how much troubleshooting we’ve had to do. The only ONLY thing that makes me irritated at consoles is the blocked online capabilities. But that’s a single irritation vs Windows hundreds of irritations.

What you said not true at all, as if you want to play on the console and trying to convince yourself of this decision 😅 PC on 2010 better than now ? ok

my main problem with consoles is the lack of high refresh rate support and no updates for previous gen games (this is a given on PC). The only problem with PC are the terrible ports! :(

console gaming is still king

No

The haptic feedback on the PS5 controller has definitely pushed consoles ahead but now PCs come with RGB lighting and that looks mad.

Consoles are good enough if you don't mind the 2019 gpu equivalent apus they're packing and downscaling resolution with 30 fps with said downscaling on modern titles. This whole topic is mute.

Consoles are better no having to update driver's and having to tinker in game settings to get games up and running its just good old pick up and play

If a game is bad without mods then the game sucks. Sorry.

Consoles are trash. There’s nothing like a high end desktop.

Another repetitive video. I've seen this before. Well I game on PC at the comfort of my couch. Yes that is possible people
