Switched from console gaming to exclusively PC gaming about two years ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Can't ever go back.

I really like your videos man. Every time I need emulator help your video is always on top of the search and they're so clear and concise. You don't seem like the kinda guy who would be into this kind of stuff and for some reason it makes me want to watch more.

PC: You get the best entertainment money can buy Console: It's cheap. That's the difference.

Can we just applaud this man for his unbiased review covering all points fairly? As someone who previously only played on consoles and now mostly plays on PC, I still like them both despite PC being a generally better experience. What drives me nuts are all the elitist fanboys feeling the need to dunk on one another just because "oh wow, you have 8 less power in graphics. So trash!"

I used to prefer PC gaming over console gaming but the cost to keep up with the latest games is just too much. Why wouldn’t I just buy a $500 console where I don’t have to stress about if the game can run on my system or not. PC is only better if you have tons of money to invest in your gaming pc, otherwise console is the better option.

The reason i do all my gaming on the pc is simply that i need a pc for other reasons like doing some work on it or organize my phones so i just bought a more souped-up version of a pc that can play games decently enough, games mostly don't really require insane custom rigs. The games themselves are also cheaper to buy so no reason to buy additional systems.

Two points (2.5 really) that I think should be included in these videos: 1. You don't have to build your own PC! While I have always done that and enjoy picking parts and putting it together, I also acknowledge not everyone shares this enjoyment. If you just want to get right into gaming go for a pre built (following 3rd party reviews online to find your best options for your budget). 2. Everyone mentions peripherals needed for PC but neglects that console generally need this too. For my PS5 for example I had to add a NVMe drive because the built in storage was so limiting. My 4k 120hz hdmi 2.1 TV was > $1000. And if the xbox controllers I use with my PC is any indication, I'll have to replace my ps5 controller after a year or two because of stick drift. On the PC side my current keyboard and mouse wern't cheap, but they have lasted for 4 years and show no signs of giving up (I've never had a keyboard or mouse need replacement). 3. Lastly, and probably most importantly, games are SO much cheaper on PC and there are SO many more games. The amount of games is literally magnitudes higher. Apart from the switch I hadn't owned a console since the game cube. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw horizon forbidden West for $125 AU and its been out for what seems like a year now. Gamers helping gamers, love to see it!

Thank you for the fair and simple comparison. I definitely prefer using both PCs and consoles.

A story to kind of build off of. When I built my first PC it was a Dell 3020 Optiplex, a small pc which could barely play GTA V and other games, of course being new to all of it I had absolutely no clue to what or how to make my PC run smoother and faster, but I got tired of playing pixilated POS so I did some research. The I3 does fine for what it is sure, and it can play these games but that's not the only thing in your computer that's causing games your games to crash, Its actually a list of things that you can pretty much fix by yourself relatively cheap and easy, and there is a guide for just about everything on youtube. 1. is your graphics card It's literally the cause of majority of your problems on PC, if you update that like 70% of your problems will be solved and it"s easy to install all you do is slip it right into a socket and boom new graphics card installed. 2. RAM random access memory Not your physical hard-drive meaning, your RAM is responsible for how fast your computer is, hence forth old outdated RAM slow computer, pixilated crappy gameplay, Installing this is pretty easy to should clip right into your PC 3. processor, which is what these intel cards are, These things are vital to your gameplay and computers ability to play newer games at acceptable levels, they are also easy to install though you gotta be careful because sometimes the card my not be the same size and INTEL purposely made them different sizes to force people to buy newer PCs these 3 things are all you need to update truthfully you can turn a POS 80 dollar desktop into a gaming machine, like my OptiPlex didn't even have HDMI or Bluetooth and literally had to have a USB wifi adapter just to connect to the internet, but 300 bucks and a few KZfaq tutorials and I'm running better FPS than console's and my graphics are always set to ultra of course you can always add your own modifications to your PC later like install your own VPN so you don't have to use an app, or setting a cooling system into your pc to keep it from overheating and staying clean, or running 30 HDMIs to one port so you can connect it to every TV and monitor in your house. what I'm getting at is your PC is the most customizable device you will ever own, you can make it suit you completely if your willing to learn consoles come and Go there easy and you don't have to invest time into them but a PC is work and takes a modicum of intelligence to use you can play your games on your console sure and you don't have to worry about updates and Maintenace, but at the end of the day it's a console and that's all its good for is gaming and that's really all it can be used for, but I can take PC from 2003 and run any game any streaming platform and do anything you can do and more on a console and also allot cheaper, PCs last decades consoles have a 5 year lifespan. Yes a PC can cost allot of money, but only if you want to buy one that expensive the PC I'm typing this on right now, cost me altogether to rebuild the certain components and buy the PC itself a few hundred bucks 80$ for the PC 100$ for my Modifications and probably 200$ all together on upgrades so no that's false you don't need to spend 3000 dollars on a PC maybe you do if your stupid, but most people can watch a tutorial and figure out how to put components in their right place, A console also require Maintenace should I add it require more cleaning than a PC as well as they break easier, they are literally made to be outdated and broken, its called Planned obsolescence and that's how console manufactures make all their money, with PC it won"t go obsolete because you can always upgrade and add new parts, which I should add are very cheap. last time I looked at the price of a PS5 it was 800 Dollars, that's insane especially because it is going to be obsolete in a few years, my PC will still be working just fine long after the PS5 has been replaced, that's why PC is better It outlives Consoles, out performs them, and most of all it's cheaper. Also people make the argument well I can't play with a controller on PC, actually you can and it's simply a click of a button, some people say well the GOTY is on console, actually they were all developed tested and played on PC before they were ever put on console every heard of early releases yeah they don't add early release on console, and on that not they have to lower the graphics and delete certain game additions just to release it on Console, In fact some people have gotten to try GTA 6 because it's only being tested on PC, also should I mention the fact most of the games you play on Console are missing about 40% of there content, just play GTA V on PC and you'll see for yourself.

Thank you for the entertaining/informational content you put out :)

I own a gaming PC with a RTX 4090 and thought about selling my Xbox Series X. However, I do play original xbox and xbox 360 games on the Xbox Series X so I keep it around to get all the options. Plus Fable 4, I'm not sure if that will come to PC either.

what gaming laptop should i buy from costco my budget is 1500usd. is any laptop with ryzen 9 32 gb ram great?

PS only originally, but Ive recently got myself a basic pc just to get a feel for the difference. In all honesty i still somewhat prefer the feel of console but i just cant fully commit to it anymore as I feel like most games are just rushed and trashy. On the other hand the absolute variety i get from PC is amazing but the price tags associated with simply getting a high end unit or upgrading mine are to steep. I am one of the many conflicted that cant make a choice and stick with it.

W vid Edit:also I didn’t realize but I commented less than a minute after the video came out

Thank you Again UrCasualGamer I am currently looking into both.

Pc might be better but console is so much easier.

Mortal Kombat 12 and Tekken 8 will be launched after how many days..in pc...plz tell

TELL ME YOU HAVE NEVER TOUCHED A STEAMDECK WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU HAVE NEVER TOUCHED A STEAM DECK LOL SMH

Friends, friends, family, friends! The KICK of being in tbe same room and able to high-five or shoulder-bump pals when being victorious or shared defeat cannot be underestimated! Consoles will always win on that score.

I have both (5600/7900xt PC, PS5) and I honestly split my time between them. I love to trophy hunt so the lack of an legit equivalent on PC makes it a huge negative for me. Good video although I would like to point out that a lot of games on console work with m&k.

I'm both a pc gamer and xbox one gamer and ps4 gamer, I'm all 3 gamers.

For me, I like both! I play Sims and some older games on PC (I use an old gaming laptop), all my Nintendo stuff on my DS and Switch, and new stuff on my Xbox Series X. I have my old PS3 and my old Xbox 360. I have a huge Xbox backlog, as well as Game Pass, so I use all of them.

How come you never made a PlayStation 1 emulation guide video? I think it's time to make it happen. Whenever you want of course.

All my gaming is done either on my gaming laptop or on my collection of classic/mini consoles. The reason I choose PC over consoles can be summed up in one word... Emulation

I love both 💻 and Console gaming as well 😀😀😊😊

How come the monitor always comes up for PC, but not the TV for a console? Especially with current gen consoles if you want to play at 120fps you'll need a tv that supports HDMI 2.1. You can hook your pc to you tv as well. Also, you can get a prebuilt pc that's just as easy to setup as a console.

Personally, i prefer PC over console, but console also has offered a good experience for me, specifically Xbox One and Nintendo Wii.

Whats the name of the game you showed? (Viking on a green dragon)... I totally remember that game 😂

ive been really considering switching to pc but really dont want to build my own so im looking into a pre built pc, nothing crazy tho just to play older games modded and stuff tbh, i have a series x, ps5 and a switch so if i need to use those for games that dont run on my pre built id be fine with that

Thanks Muchly brother

Your emulator guides are the best

I’ve been a console gamer my whole life and I’m FINALLY serious about building a pc I already have all the parts chosen but I need some advice, what are the best brand and type of monitors if you’re starting out?

Thank you the best vid about pc game`s

The way i am set up you probably think is weird. I use my xbox one x with my tv for controller games. Mouse and keyboard games i do on my computer with a normal monitor

Getting my Pc I didn't really think I would be doing Emulation more than anything else. But that seems to be the case. Have a huge collection of ps2 roms, as well as others. and Its just amazing. So many good games to play and complete, or just to enjoy over and over again (I'm lookin at you Burnout 3) with no clear goal other than just play it. On top of being able to upscale resolution, you can compete with more HD remasters. not ones like spyro and crash, but more like the jak and sly games in terms of remasters.

I wanna get a PC but its hard to decide which price of a PC is good enough for good graphics and great FPS. So many PC's iv seen are so expensive that its hard to know which price to start at.

I switched to pc gaming this passed Christmas. I love what you can do on pc compared what you can do on a console. Console is so limited

switched to ps5 from xbox this console generation and i’m glad i did, bloodborne and demons souls were the main reasons but tons of other pros. my xbox is just collecting dust cause i can’t justify paying to use my internet on 2 consoles, so im thinking about selling it soon. i really want to get a pc soon but they’re just so expensive, plus i already have a new macbook so idk if i can really justify it. thoughts?

exactly what it says on the tin, got my sub👍👍

Pls make a video about multiple disk rom on emulator. For example, devil mary cry 2 on pcsx2 has two disk, how to play them?

I've been gaming since the NES and 2600, When we got out first PC it was like the world opened. Back then there were console games and PC games with very little bleed over. That has changed over the years and now the one or two games I may want on a console are not worth the cost of the console. Also games on PC are waaaay cheaper. I've been able to get the latest releases for 25 - 50% cheaper day one.

I've been dipping in to PC gaming lately after upgrading my PC but i still prefer console gaming overall. I like that eveything is done for you on a console. There's a lot of tinkering with PC gaming. I quite like doing stuff like that but plug and play is more appealing to me. The best thing about PC gaming tho is emulation imo. I was playing Metroid: Samus Returns the other day with a 3DS emulator with texture packs and 60fps cheats etc and it looks just as good as a Switch game.

Ive just recently started PC gaming on a mini PC (Minis Forum HX77g) and its as close as i’ll get to a console performance on PC but I wont have to re-buy games to play them on newer hardware. Im not 100% sure right now but atm i think its a PC future for me. Steam sales are raiding my wallet 🤣 I also got my son a gaming laptop and he’s said he’s a PC guy now (he loves keyboard and mouse)

in all i think for a high end pc costs around 600 to 1500 as parts are much cheaper and what u need

I have a pc that can run game’s really well but I just don’t enjoy it as much as console

What gpu do you recommend for emulation at 1440p in 2023? I do not play pc games.

Great take on this somewhat controversial topic. As a PC gamer I consider Xbox to be the best console for people looking to get the most out of their money as you always have the option to get emulators. Not to mention Game Pass.

I just switched to PC and love it, I still do my old ps4 and 3 stuff, because certain old games kick butt,I like PC better, but enjoyed the orator of the video, and his being impartial.

There is PCPartpicker where you can build a PC at the cheapest cost, you can build a Ryzen 5600x 4070 ti build for just $1500

Please I am begging you, make a video how to make parsec soda work windows defender does not allow it to work. Parsec soda is very nice for hosting games on parsec software.

Oh did you go back to your casualgamer? Thought you changed to shandell explains :)

I switched to pc gaming and man it is way better but expensive if you want a good gaming pc. Kept the Switch tough good to have when traveling.

Great video!

As you said personal preference plays into this no pun intended. Still think I'm going for that OLED switch!

Please make a video how to make parsec soda work, windows defender is so annoying

Should i get a series s if i have a pc?

I have recently switched the main benefit is better graphics and cheap games. The disadvantage is a good PC to game at 4k will cost you upward of $1,000 and there will be many console exclusives that you will miss out on Example UFC 5, and Spiderman 2. Nowadays you can get a used PS5 digital for under $300.

PC advantages : - Mods & fixes, save datas - Emulators (you can play many console exclusives on PC through emulators) - More tool options ( for ex choose between gamepad and keyboard + mouse which I prefer for shooting games) - More variety of games - More storage and advanced options. Also You can always upgrade your system for the better

Kishi v2 looks the best atm due to having the actual shape of a pad on the back

This is simple. If you have the money and are someone who plays games more than 8 hours a day and are a tech nerd there is no reason not to be a PC gamer. If not, then console is the way to go.

I switched to PC gaming shortly after playing the RE 2 remake and Sekiro on PS4. No regrets. There is a learning curve but once you get past that you will never go back. PC gamin is the way to go if you want the best possible experience and you are willing to pay for it.

did you just delete your wii u usb helper guide?

something to keep in mind; PC hardware is so advanced, that even hardware from 6-8 years ago can run most modern games. the gaming industry is so far behind the PC industry, most modern components won't be necessities for probably another decade or two. you can sneak away with some VERY cheap builds right now, because PC hardware tends to drop in price very heavily after a short period of time, which allows you to upgrade your components at a cheaper price than it would be to buy a modern console. PC ownership isn't as expensive as most people think; the initial barrier is honestly the only barrier, because PC games are extremely cheap compared to console games (for reference, only 1/3 of PC games are bought at full price), and we also don't have to pay for online memberships.

I've been mainly pc gaming for the last 3yrs. But now that PS has come out with Psvr2. I think I'm going back!

I’ve been trying hard to put in widescreen cheats on pcsx2 qt, it never functions, can you please help me?

Best summary I've ever watched

You can even relive nostalgia memories on your PC and play Nintendo 64 games.

the intial cost of pc gaming is def more expensive but the cost of games is cheaper. Those steam sales cant be beat. Or the free games from epic

Good review. Just facts...no bias.

Consoles all the way baby It's nostalgic for me since the middle 2000s and early 2010s Much easier to watch KZfaq on it. And do movie apps and play video games on it even if it's not 4k or 1080p The only good thing on computer for me was roblox But everything else consoles all the way

What Superman game was that or was that another game that was modded?

I went from an Xbox one X in 2019 to my first gaming pc, and I've never had more fun gaming. 100% worth the move. I do have a ps5 because I wanted to play god of war ragnarok and Spiderman 2 when it comes out, but other than those few select games I never touch it.

Basically best choice is to do both, build yourself the best PC you can then choose between a Switch or PS5, whichever you prefer. For me it's the PS5, for my wife it's the Switch but we both have PCS.

I wanna buy a gaming pc only cause of the modding capabilities

wait you switched back to the old channel name? I've been away for a little while. I see the slow season is effecting you too. A good way to drum up more views is to do mod install tutorials for popular games. If you can figure out how to mod emulator games that would be good too.

Omg thank you this video made my day I’m get me a pc for my birthday. April 9th thanks

İ switch console gaming from pc and im happy with it i never see any error fps lag exc cant never turn back

PC GET A SINGLE GREAT EXCLUSIVE YET? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I want to have the 4090 or when nvidia releases the 4090ti. Because of Steam Deck, I want a pc so badly. I am still going to keep all my console collections. PC is the future.

Nice video bro hehe :)

All I want to do is play my games with incredible graphics and have access to mods

Pc gaming community is full of Hackers

You can even play switch games on PC runs games now with 60fps with a midrange PC

Gaming PC next gen performance i3 12100f = 100 B660 mobo = 110 16gb ram = 50 500gb ssd = 40 550w psu = 50 budget case = 50 RX 6600 = 250 TOTAL = $ 650

i like both

I bought my 1500$ pc just to play 1 game. And that is Dota. Now things happened,,, Im having a family while still studying, my time is so tight. I dont have enough time to play dota and its so long game you need to play 30-60 mins worse comes to worst 80 mins. I love this game but it always give me a headaches, so stressful game and toxic. That's why i want to switch in console gaming.

I love both but PCs can be such a money dump. BUT they also can run games smoother, visually better and you have the best MODs. also, console exclusives wont be a thing in the future as I can always end up playing switch games and PlayStation games are starting to port games more and more often to pc. Also, what I dont like about PC is they gonna soon no longer have physical copies of the game. it's all download.

Gpu prices alone right now are essentially pricing most pc gamers out of the market. Unless you want to buy a gpu that came out 3 years ago

Why are you yelling the enire video?

I like the simplicity of a console, plug, play, never upgrade any components etc.

its outragous to have to pay to play multiplayer game on xbox when you already pay for internet

Sooo uhhh what is the steam deck then lol it’s kind of both tbh

I prefer PC, mouse and Keyboard is perfect for me. and I use my PC for creating Music and ART.

I love both

But with pc you can get virus and you have to upgrade your system every so oftern

Console sofa bed play games should be fun and relaxing NOT feeling like I’m working in the office 👎

I'm a console player for the console exclusives (Armored Core for Answer, Ace Combat PS2). I don't like imperfect emulation so I stick with the real things. PC gaming is a pain in the butt if your PC is having problems. I've seen like a dozen glitches on Windows 10. I only do PC gaming for PC exclusives and games that need a lot of mod support (Skyrim, MechWarrior 5). PC gaming needs its own help for older games such as people saying you need to download Nvidia legacy drivers to play Velvet Assassin (2009) and get some other stuff to run MechWarrior 3. There are many more problems with PC gaming that no one can help anyone with.

For me it's easy Depends on what you need Do you want a casual experience and just want to sit back with a game and have fun, it's console If you want a more competitive or want a bit more control of your games (plus free online) PC for you

ANYONE NAME A SINGLE GREAT PC EXCLUSIVE YET? ANYONE? NOPE. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If your a hardcore gamer nd pretty smart go for pc, average adults that play once/twice a week with friends go console would love to get into pc buts it’s pretty confusing.
