Is there a single good reason to own a gaming PC if you don't care about resolution or frame rate?
>>
controllers are ass for shooty games and clicky games
>>
>>319683214
Mods, no online service fees, and piracy
>>
Bigger library.
Certain games that are not available on console.
Games that are better suited to KB+M

Im a console gamer but the above are true regardless.
>>
No, not really. Almost all worthwhile games (old PC, console and arcade games) run on toasters.
>>

>Certain games that are not available on console.

Like what?
>>
>more games
>mods
xbone and ps4 might have mods now as well but most of them such as gore mods and shit will probably be banned, also smaller hard drive and processor so gl with alot of mods.

and back to what i first said, theres aton more games for pc. just look at all the indie vidya on steam. 75% of them are good, and some will probably never go to console.


but if you dont care about any of this, just get a console. your choice in the end.

like the game of 60 fps and 1080p

>>319683214
Depends on how you define a "gaming PC." For example, there are tons of rigs out there being marketed as gaming PCs that have shit graphics cards like the GT 710 or w/e. What is a gaming PC to you?

Vast library
Mods
Cheap prices or just flat out pirated
Controller support
Similar if not better local multiplayer experiences
Control over how powerful/costly your gaming rig is as opposed to just buying one standardized console that is already weak
Cool fucking LED fans
You can do other fucking things on your gaming rig, like BROWSING THE INTERNET and watching movies and everything fucking else a computer does

For real, if you're not in it for console exclusives, there is literally NO reason at all to own a console.

>FFXIII, FFXV, FFVII
I said worthwhile games, not one shitty game and two games which aren't even out yet.

Like everything except multiplats and console exclusives? MMO, RTS and most of the fps are on the PC. Also tons and tons of non-weebshit RPGs.
>>
>>319683214
Gaming PC, no.

Any old laptop even can run all the good games with all the advantages listed in this thread.

>>319683214
>Is there a single good reason to own a gaming PC if you don't care about quality?

No, not really.

>it becomes good

You don't have to pay to enjoy neps

>Is there a single good reason to own a gaming PC if you don't care about how games are meant to be played

nope
>>
>>319684176

It at least becomes bearable.
>>
Shitposting just doesn't feel right on a console or tablet.
>>
>>319684338
No it doesnt.

PC gaming is quality because of all the good old cRPGs and RTS games, not because of resolution or frame rate.
>>
>>319683214
mods, emulation, backwards compatibility, versatility in control scheme, etc
>>
>>319684291
Oh look another "PC gamer" who only plays multiplats from post-2007.
>>
Honestly anyone with a brain right now SHOULD be investing in a decent graphics card. The way things are going with vidya, every worthwhile game is going to be released on PC moving forward. I fully expect that to happen.

Free yourself from the grip of the jewish consoles.

I love this meme.

Niche titles.
Call me a contrarian but none of the console exclusives interest me meanwhile pc has all the best strategy games and simulators.
Honestly if you don't like those two genres enough to build a pc, you're a terrible person.

Games aren't censored on PC unlike consoles.

You better wait for 2020 before that shit comes out on PC.
>>
>>319687498
Tons of games are censored on PC, bro.
>>
Longevity.

Price of games.
>>
>>319687861
Mods m8.
>>
>>319687498
They're censored by never being released on PC
>>
>>319688324
I love this stupid meme.

How can you "mod" something in without having the source material?

Agarest and Mugen Souls still stand censored for example.

Is there a single good reason to own a console instead? Or is the alternative a weaker PC?
>>
>>319683346
Nah they're fine. Needing super easy zilch mode isn't something to be proud of.
