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.

My ROG Ally gives me the best of both worlds.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

very well put together video

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 😂

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.

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

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.

You can also hook your PC to your TV

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I will be watching the stream

You are doing a great thing for charity do you want me to help spread the news about the charity stream

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

No

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.

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

Pc Gaming Blows Going Back To Console

This is informative and entertaining

Yeah I think a lot worked well with the Switch. For their next console they should release a Switch-like device, just with upgraded hardware.

The Nintendo Switch is my favorite 2016 android tablet

Nintendo has always made systems that are 1Gen behind. Graphical Style (also known as The World Of Warcraft Strategy) is the key to make it work. Just make first party games with *Smash* and *Zelda* graphics and its all fine.

I think it's a great system with a massive roster. I tend to pick games that are satisfying to play on both handheld and docked modes. I like to buy jrpgs/exclusive titles for the Switch, and buy AAA games on Playstation. When I'm playing Fire Emblem Three Houses, Triangle Strategy or Zelda TOTK I don't even think about the hardware limitations. You don't need to have the best system, you just need to have the best games ;)

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

Cool graphics and entertaining- great way for anyone who is interested in playing with the system

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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 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.

console gaming is still king

Nice video. I like your delivery and would love to go get to know you better… in a non cringe way.

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.

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.
