Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “PC vs Console as Fast As Possible”.
Yes, yes, yes, we’ve all seen this movie and we all know how it ends, but instead of the usual song and dance, why don’t we all put down our glorious broadsword, then mrs. hitch, forks for one second, stop acting like the poop. We’Re slinging doesn’t stink as much as the other guys, objectively speaking, what is best a PC or a console. Let’S log our way through the traditional arguments shall we first up is exclusives, whether their intent, God of War, Final, Fantasy, Starcraft, Gears of War, halo or Super Smash. Brothers fans will argue all day that the exclusives make a given platform best. There is no such thing as a best exclusive, and every platform has exclusives. Ironically, given how often consoles ahlet’s bringing this point up. The Windows PC platform actually has more exclusive than every other console ever combined, along with stellar backwards compatibility thanks to DirectX, but and here’s a bombshell for the PC zealots that doesn’t make it best either. A fat lot of good redneck rampage is gon na do for someone who only really wants to play.
Pokemon next is the living room. Experience consoles are optimized for the couch. The interface is easy to read, the controllers are wireless and this might seem like a small detail, but they can be turned on with a controller. Arguably steam big picture improves game navigation on the PC and, yes, you can buy little dongles to run the same controllers. Wirelessly, even but no one actually does that one infinitesimally small number of you actually have a separate PC on your TV for local gaming or game streaming that yes, yes, I know a handful of you do, but most people who invest in two separate gaming boxes will At least consider buying two different kinds of console for the TV and a PC for the desk horses for courses, my friends, but the PC is the horse for any course. Isn’T it Linus? You can buy a cheap O’Dell slam, the video card in it and start playing great free games like League of Legends and Team Fortress 2.
Just like that, or you can go balls to the wall and Dec your setup out with cool peripherals like the oculus rift, 4k monitors and even elaborate multi-screen configurations. Yes, the value and flexibility argument is a strong one for the PC. But one counter is the simplicity argument. Yes, internet connections have made console game releases more PC like than ever and not in a good way, but at least the game works as well as it can across the board, because, let’s face it, not everyone wants to care about what brand motor oil is in Their car, what heating element is in their dishwasher or yeah? It’S true.
What leet video card is in their gaming system, which leads us to performance. I’M legit tired of hearing about how pcs are faster – I really am they are, and their core functionality is much deeper than what a console can be, but to be a whole lot faster, they’re, also more expensive at a similar price. A PC really isn’t that much better than a PlayStation 4. With that said, I’m even more tired of hearing about how consoles are faster they’re, not if you think they are you’re wrong. There was a time when you could argue that, but these days you’re just wrong. Sorry brah, then, there’s the closely related value argument.
Both sides can lay claim to massive catalogs of cheap games that were released last year. But two seemingly devastating blows to the console argument are the backwards compatibility of the PC, courtesy of DirectX and the lack of a system-wide paid subscription for multiplayer. Unless, of course, you don’t appreciate the rampant cheating in many PC games, even at the highest competitive level, sometimes something that console gamers don’t suffer from to the same degree and then, of course, there’s the hardware too.
You know this is where it kind of degrades. Most of the time consoles are cheap. It lasts a long time yeah, but PC gamers could keep their computers for seven years if they wanted potato grade.
Graphics to your games are locked in 30 FPS. 792P. Oh yeah! Well, all your triple-a games are crud ports of the games that run better and are supposedly inferior Hardware.
Maybe if your hardware didn’t suck so bad, the whole industry could be able to move forward out of fast jacent yeah. We all knew this was heading there as soon as the potatoes got brought up. So, let’s reset again the problem and I’d actually like to address my fellow PC, master-race members for a moment here, is that at the end of the day, life is not a spreadsheet and the way that we approached this video in the first place is actually sort Of wrong, if we tackle this purely objectively, the PC is superior, it can achieve more check marks and fewer X’s at a lower price, or a vast number more check marks at a greater price yeah.
I know, but guys it’s not about dispassionately, comparing stats. To crown a winner, it’s about the games and the experience that you as an individual are after, if you want a super deep experience, an EVE Online makes you happy, then great, but if someone else wants to play singing dancing games with their friends, do you really Expect them to crowd around a PC to do it. No, of course not it’s one of those scenarios, more hardcore – oh, I don’t know probably, but who cares? It’S entertainment and the TLDR here is. Everyone needs to just calm the heck down.
